America re-elected a clown. Time magazine names the incoming clown in chief its person of the Year for the 2nd time. 

 

This sh8t is unbelievable but consistent. Stalin (2x), Hitler, Nixon and Putin were Person of the Year too.

 

Apparently, being a dictator, terrorist or criminal carries just as much weight as being a peacemaker, humanitarian or inventor.

Asshole of the Year!

 

Will the MAGA Morons be able to handle the stench for Four Years?

That's hilarious considering folks claim  incoming POTUS OJ pooped on himself while in France last week.

[aka Contrarian]

Social media reports that TIME magazine has been flooded with subscription cancellations due to this year's choice.

The 2024 Person of the Year:

 

1) Impeached twice

2) Incited a riot

3) improperly handled classified documents

4) S8xually assaulted woman

5) Inflated property value

6) convicted of illegal payments

 

For defamation of character, ABC News is going to donate $15 million dollars to POTUS OJ's presidential library. 

 

Last month, MSNBC sent Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski to Mar-A-Lago to make amends.

 

Incoming POTUS OJ is talking to world leaders and making appearances as if he's already taken office. 

 

The hypocrisy of the media is hilarious.  The same folks who demonized him are now scrambling to kiss is azz.

 

It may be harder to convince young folks that they need strong moral values and a solid education in order to be a leader and successful.

maybe the children should had been told and children need to be told the truth , the leadership of the usa plus the success of the usa, didn't come from positive morality or seeking wisdom both leadership plus success of the usa came from solid negative morals plus using a bare minimum of knowledge while an inexhaustible greed to trick. 

The question is, why did and do parents try to convince children of lies? That is a terrible lesson to give children.

Black folks have been programmed into obeying the rules and laws of the system of racism white supremacy.

 

Parents often tell their children to do as I say and not necessarily as I do. 

 

The hypocrisy of telling others to be *good* runs deep in our society.  Obedience is a form of control.

 

In the meantime, many leaders and successful people are shady and/or corrupt in one way or another.

True, but striving to be "good" and having that goal as a core value is the only way society with millions of people can function.  While those who cheat, lie and steal can get ahead, if it were a core value our society would collapse.  We may be reaching a tipping point in the regard.

I believe most people are inherently *good*. There are fewer *bad* people relatively.

 

Maybe *good* people have to strive to *remain* that way especially when they're seeing *bad* people succeed.

The *bad* people maintain order by keeping *good* people in check.

 

Religion is an opiate of mind control. Rules and laws are guardrails too.

 

Look at *who* is in charge of shaping those *core values* and enforcing them.

 

Seems like the most powerful group of people on the planet has it on lock.

Yes, who is in charge of this (serious question)?

 

Good also implies wiliness to cooperate with others and supportive of the rules, laws, social norms, and cultural values -- even if you don't always agree with them.  You work within the system to change them -- all for the greater good.

 

There will aways be "bad" people who live outside or above the law.  Again, if there are too many of these people it is worse for everyone else.  The world wide web is very much like this today, it only promises to get worse...

Look no further than the Constitution.  The dominant society is in charge since it makes the rules.

*Good* accepts the status quo because it's isn't too *bad".

Prisons are filled with supposedly *bad* people.  Prisoners out-number the prison staff.  Other than a riot every now and then, the place doesn't fall apart.

 

Seems to only take a minority to control the majority.  It all comes down to *who* has the most power.

Well, the arena of America's sports world reflects its national character. Everybody loves a winner, the roaring crowds in agreement with  the "winning not being everything, but the only thing" slogan that mocks the nice guys who finish last. And lip service is all that comes into  play when it involves being a good sport. Unfortunately, this is the nature of the beast, and the.law of the jungle that is the real world. Bottom line:  Winner takes all. Losers eat crow. Pass Kamala the salt, Joe.

 

Behind closed doors, this has never been a country that practiced what it preached about the merits of integrity, - platitudes uttered against the backgroud of the star-spangled banner fluttering in the breeze, Soul stirring images, indeed, but politics, is a dirty business as Donald Trump proves. He regained the presidency because he epitomizes what the majority of his countrymen represent: Folks who do anything they can get away with in the pursuit of status and financial gain, 2 main ingredient of the American dream. Fuck scruples.They don't pay the bills. "Honesty is the best policy"  is a recipe for payday-to-payday mediocrity. Have at it, Suckers!

 

I've never been patriotic, yet I did imagine the Free Press as a pillar of independence that adhered to journalistic standards because I was desperate to have SOMETHING to believe in. But when TIME magazine sanitizes Donald Trump, when MSNBC obeys his back and call, when ABC agrees to pay him 15 million dollars to settle a character defamation suit, disgust was all I was left with! In addition, Corporate America gives all indication of closing ranks around him, ready to kiss the ring of this pants-shitting scoundrel who is avenging past slights, filling posts in his rag tag administration with a bunch of unqualified lackeys cut from the same tattered cloth as he is. Shame on America!

 

And the hapless Democrats might as well throw in the towel. They are part of the problem, not the solution. The tide will turn, but it will do so on its own when corruption eventually destroys itself.  Ho-Hum.

America has chosen as leader of the free world, an orange, over-sized toddler whose diet consists of McDonald's.  That explains his lack of continence.

So Trump actually shit himself? I’m surprised I had not heard that before.

It was rumored that recently while in France checking in with  the French Leadership, noone wanted to sit near him because he reeked with  the smell of feces.    

Speaking of which, what the crap is going on with Elon Musk? When did he become America's co-president-elect? 

America is on the brink of shutting down the Federal government, and Musk is in the thi:ck of it, calling the shots! He's an immigrant from South Africa and suddenly is now Trump's partner in crime.  Unbelievable! 

America is in deep doo-doo!

 

[Troy]

What?!  That is unbelievable, maybe it was just really horrendous gas...

 

It is unbelievable, but Elon has gotten what he paid for.

It's been mentioned in the media that POTUS OJ has a bad body odor. I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. He looks like a stinker.
