      There should be a three century minimum for being a country. Otherwise you’re just a mature settler colony.

            Laughs in literalist:
            “There was a point in recent history that a significant portion of the population, with enough sampling from ethnic subgroups, had decent opportunity to eke out a comfortable living. Those days that burn fresh in memory, are seemingly gone.”

              so there’s a line that’s defines “significant?”

              because yeah. 40 years ago houses were affordable. but govs were still fire bombing city blocks in philly because some brown people upset them.

                Really bad, but the difference is the volume and scale. US government oppressing ethnic minorities is a horrible act, but not a new one. US government deliberately oppressing a large fraction of the majority is.

                Doesn’t make it better or worse, but it is a marked shift

                  right. thats my point. there isn’t a scale such as a binary, thus it has never been a “good” (as in healthy) nation, in its black and white (again a binary) form.

                  i’m just trying to push a rhetoric that stops folks from pining for day bygone that were better. they have never been better, just different

    The old orange gibbon will be remembered as a pedophile, rapist, liar, criminal and total incompetent - no plaques needed. Just mention his name.
    His followers will forever be tainted by their support of an abomination and MEGA LOSER. He played them just like he played the little girls he lured into his raping clutches.

    I wish I could list points so easily irl (even if obv made up).

    Also, will this plaque be the only surviving written word for future historians?
    Will there be copper-quality-like Joe memes?

    Boy, Biden really lives rent-free in Trump’s head.

    Most people, if they even thought of putting something like that up, would be worried that they would be branding themselves as a desperate loser.

      This has sharpie devil horns and a gap tooth with ‘looser’ written on a yearbook photo energy. No sane, mature, or confident person would even think of or like this. Sad!

        Donald Trump, to me at least, seems like a very simple person. I have found that I can predict a lot of what he’ll do by just keeping in mind that he’s an egotistical simpleton who wants people to worship him. He doesn’t care about anybody but himself, and he doesn’t think very far into the future. But he gets hung up on the past a lot.

        Biden beat him. There was a popularity contest, and America picked Biden. Biden has never lost to Trump, except one debate that most people forgot about already. That’s something that Trump will never be able to change.

        Trump probably thinks of the shooter as a loser who couldn’t even hit what he was aiming at. If anything, the shooting made Trump more popular. Trump won and the shooter lost.

          Here’s another thing about Trump.

          Trump was in New York real estate and construction from the start. There’s no way to do that without dealing with the Mafia.

          Any smart boss is going to take one look at Donnie and step away. A boss doesn’t want to be around a loudmouth who can’t be trusted to keep his mouth shut.

          So the mobsters Donnie interacted with were the low level goons the bosses could throw under the bus if anything went wrong.

          All of Donnie’s schemes are crude because that’s what he thinks are clever schemes. His smartest mentor, Roy Cohn, died too soon to teach Donnie how to actually act like a winner.

      Projection is a core skill among conservatives.

      Trump just drops the pretense all the way to his ankles.

    I believe this is what the kids call “cringe.” Seriously though, I’d be embarrassed for him if I didn’t wish he’d just drop dead.
