Where are all the aquatic predators when you need them?

I believe you could safely say this about the group of people that trusts Trump…it is moving toward miniscule numbers…

I think you mean for 2 out of the last 3 presidents.

Good. I long for the day, coming soon(?), when he only trusts John Barron and a sock puppet of Roy Cohn.

It’s to Jr.'s benefit to mention he’s in the “much smaller” trustee group. Though he’d have to be really dumb to try another cohen-style pay for access program.

“It would be easier to get things done if you’re able to fully trust everyone around you. I think that’s a shame.”

Trust is earned…or not.

"You have millions and millions of Americans who voted for this.”

Can’t believe that I’m saying this, but 65+ million Americans voted for something else.

Doesn’t that tell you something, Donnie Jr., or are you really that clueless?
I put my money on “clueless”.

I’d assume everything’s smaller now, including bank accounts, hands, willies and sphincters.

Too bad it wasn’t an active volcano.

The Electoral College was designed and intended to “subverted the will of the people.” The Presidential Election is a non-binding popularity contest. The “Electors” can select whomever they want.

We don’t have a democracy. And when 18% of the population controls the Senate Majority, we don’t have a Representative Republic, either.

And when a undemocratically selected President teams with a Senate controlled by 18% of the population to install 4 white male SCOTUS justices and stack the Federal Judiciary, then we don’t have a system of Justice either.

All Constitutional. Nothing we can do.

Considering that “people he can trust” can also be referred to as co-conspirators, it’s no wonder that group is shrinking.

I have your group of trusted family members right here…

lizzymom · September 11, 2018, 6:02pm

You beat me to it— I was gonna ask, “where are all the anacondas when you need ‘em??”

muddylee · September 11, 2018, 6:04pm

Millions voted for it, Junior - but more millions voted against it - what’s your point? Reap what you sow - it’s in the Bible, but not in 2 Corinthians…Since Old Trump was promoting birtherism and being extremely critical of Obama (duly elected twice, popular vote and electoral college), I don’t think your argument is very persuasive. The “trusted group” is smaller now? Pretty soon it’ll be down to just the kids - and I’m not including Tiffany or Barron. Russians provided a lot of the funding for Trump Enterprises in the past, right? Did they get what they were paying for?

The article leaves out their plan to catch the culprit. Pure genius.

jootjoint · September 11, 2018, 6:10pm

No, that’s his dad’s shithole!

Alligators won’t eat everything, you know.

brian512 · September 11, 2018, 6:24pm

We.

Can.

Fucking.

VOTE!

It matters.
