      Can’t be a dictatorship during a civil war. We’ll see what happens if it comes to that. It still baffles me that we decided a reality TV star whos bankrupt half of his business should be in charge of everything.

        Most of his businesses. Apparently, in America, success is all perception, not reality?

        Dug up from a previous post:

        Mango Mussolini’s failed businesses:

        • At least four failed building ventures
        • Had a failed “university”
        • Failed vodka business (how hard is that, right?)
        • Failed steak business
        • Failed airline
        • Failed board game
        • Failed casinos in Atlantic City (how do you fail at running multiple businesses that only exist to hoover up money?)
        • Failed magazine
        • Failed luxury travel organization
        • Failed mortgage company
        • Failed presidency that took Pres. Biden’s administration most of their entire term to fix. We’re talking documents that are gone, departments that are deleted, abject chaos that had to be rebuilt from scratch in some cases.

        Successes:

        • Had mommy’s money to get him going
        • Had 5 successful buildings built, mostly in the 1980s
          • At least three of them had fraudulent financial statements, inflated valuations, and inflated tax losses

          How many businesses has he also destroyed by bilking them of the money he owed them for bullshit reasons?

        A third of us decided that. Another third disagreed with that notion. Another decided that they couldn’t be bothered to decide one way or the other.

          Then ⅓ of you are pretty much blameless.
          The other ⅔ have no way to justify their behaviour. Their action or inaction caused all of this.

            I wholeheartedly agree. All I know is that I voted for Haris. I knew this shit was coming.

        I mean, if he was only a idiot TV star, but he’s an actual pedo-rapist who already tried to destroy US democracy once, and told people he was going to be a dictator… What did Americans expected? At this point, we can only hope the country self-destructs without briging the entire world with it. As a canadian I’m honestly scared.
