Do you think the donor-class is happy with Trump?

Massive swings up and down in the stock-market. On a NORMAL day.

Leaving NAFTA for the heck of it.

Trade-war with China for the heck of it.

Utter incompetence when faced with an economy-threatening crisis.

2 years worth of stock-market gains wiped out within a month.



Would you donate millions and millions of dollars to a candidate who is bad news for your business?

But if they're "I want a huge return on my stock market investments!" donors, possibly.

insiders make as much money on a market crash as they do in a bubble.

if millions of retirees die of coronavirus economic indicators will soar. moving the life expectancy of americans to 60 would be perfect.

I don't think the top brass and major shareholders are too happy about that.

They don't give a damn about this country or the people who live in it.

The republicans lie and cheat to steal elections.

The democratic party continues to get steam rolled.

When the republicans are in the minority they control everything.

When the republicans are the majority they control everything.

When the democratic party are in the majority they continue bipartisanship with the republicans to the

detriment of "We The People".

The democratic party is weak and they have allowed the republicans to destroy this country.

The democratic party refuses to hold republicans accountable.

The Bush administration ILLEGALLY invaded Iraq. Pelosi refused to hold them accountable.

The Obama administration refused to hold Wall Street accountable.

They bailed out the banks and left "We The People" to the wolves.

Millions lost their homes.

Millions lost their savings.

There was no bailout for "We The People".



If this site is a discussion board this post will not be hidden.


I don't think many on this site are interested in discussions or facts.

If this post is hidden it will prove my point.

The similarities of this site with Twitter and Facebook are truly astounding.

I am not on Twitter or Facebook.

I don't need to be because many on this site bring the lies and dishonesty from Twitter and Facebook here.
