OMFG! This guy is more clueless than Cher Horowitz.

But at least Cher was pretty, charming, and had a big heart.

But Wilbur Ross? Like, gag me with a spoon!

Because the majority of folks live paycheck to paycheck jackass.

Here’s a way another jackass may be able to move forward.

This quote is going to haunt him to his political grave which, with Dems controlling the House, will be quite soon.

It’s 33 days with no end in sight.

If Wilbur’s head exploded on camera at the end, that would be cool.

Is it possible he’s just this fucking stupid and out of touch? I can’t come up with a conventional explanation which is compatible with any sort of game theory. Knifing yourself in the jugular to own the libs.

I know that it’s popular in some circles to exclaim that the pain is the goal, and this is just Ross gleefully rubbing federal noses in their misery. I have always considered this view to be too cute by half.

the 30 days of pay that some people will be out, there’s no real reason why they shouldn’t be able to get a loan against it.

So he’s all for payday loans at what 375%…

Brain dead, tone deaf, older than the money in his wallet, Wilbur Ross is an asshat of the Republic party and Trump administration.

Maybe he should ask a bank manager.

“… 800,000 workers … it’s not like it’s a gigantic number overall”

I want to hear him tell them that again in 2020.

It’s not hurting the GDP, so never mind the peasants!

The immorality of not paying people for their work, the disruption to their lives, the expenses involved in taking out a loan never crosses his mind. And I had thought Lara Trump was insensitive yesterday in her “let them eat cake” blasé attitude.

Are you still getting paid? Perhaps that influences you as to why you don’t understand people using food banks. Maybe banks don’t like giving loans to employees that are furloughed, maybe people are already tapped out on credit. Go figure, stupid.

When are people going to wake up and realize that this (mal)administration is full of arrogant over-privileged pricks (and prickettes) who are tone-deaf, clueless and couldn’t give a shit about the other 99.99% because they all have their own private yachts and summer mansions in the Hamptons.

I am convinced that, with rare exception, to be as wealthy as he is takes a pathological lack of empathy.

“They should get a loan and then have to pay interest on their paychecks. What’s wrong with these people?”

Stop being a horse’s ass, Wiiiiiiiiilbur!

Well, Wilbur, maybe the banks, who already have experience being stiffed by Trump, are wary of trusting any promises that the workers will be paid on his say-so.

Also, Wilbur, do you mind explaining to us why the banks should cover for Trump’s tantrums?

The support for the wall is limited to Drumpf’s base.

The Job of the BothSiderists is to expand that, using the human shields of suffering people.

Like the Superman II film, Drumpf is counting on the humane Democrats to yield, much like Superman had to help the ordinary people the three villains were using as human shields

The BothSiderists do not give a DAMN about the suffering people, because if they DID, they would know that, by yielding to Drumpf’s hostage taking, we would no longer have a country…we would have a “realm” in which Drumpf could extort at will.
