Based on what his family and staff are saying, he doesn't seem very interested in damage control. He doesn't seem to care anymore.

Early on, he was quoted as saying he thought being POTUS was going to be easier than his other job(s).

What Congress was doing was showing support and solidarity with the protestors and there fight to reform police brutality against black people.

But whatever his reasoning, if he isn't going to put any effort into it then I am voting Libertarian.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostSelling products under the Trump name is one of Trump's ventures. That's what he was doing in this case. Bought beef, rebranded it as "Trump Steaks" then sold them (and afaik still sells them) in his restaurants/hotels and also used to sell them in some store that stopped selling them because they were too expensive (hence them ending up on a "failed" business list).
Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostAnyway, counting failed businesses is a bad way to count whether someone is a good businessman and counting failed brands is even worse. As I said earlier I know guys with 1-2 dozen failed brands who run successful businesses and are multi-millionaires. It would be absurd to call them "failed businessmen". Failure is a normal part of business and life.
But if your measure of "success" is more about what you have contributed to the world, Trump is a miserable failure. His history is littered with people he stiffed, others he bullied, and still more he just outright conned. He is now in the midst of his greatest con of all, and has most of the Republican party completely under his sway.
He is a miserable excuse for a human being, and we are now seeing the results of putting such a miserable excuse for a human being in the most powerful office in the land.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Our rating: True
We rate the claim that kente cloth was historically worn by the Asante people of Ghana, who were involved in the West African slave trade TRUE because it is supported by our research. Although kente cloth does have ties to slavery, it is more widely recognized as a modern symbol of pride in African American culture and pride in cultural ties to West Africa.
One of those little twists of History.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostA rather duplicitous reply, albeit with some truth to it. Slavery is not a white on black horror. Indeed the entire ancient world operated on slavery in various forms.
However, I do hope being a good Christian you have never worn those infidel/heathen pyjamas.
You claimed that what I said was duplicitous and only contained "some truth to it." Perhaps you would care to enlighten us by pointing out the parts that were inaccurate.

Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostStill has absolutely nothing to do with Kente cloth, which is simply a symbol of the culture far older then the historical slavery issue. By your measure we should not wear any style clothes of cultures that participated in slavery in the past, and of course burn all Bibles, because they have laws for the regulation of slavery, and it does not forbid slavery.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI think Schumer's faux "Buffalo stance" was far more cringe worthy.
Schumer looks to have both his arms folded, which is really weird when wearing a tight dress jacket. He probably ripped the seams in the back.
