I think before then he had a good PR team. That was the moment when he thought 'What am I paying these guys for, I could do this just fine myself.'

Tbh I feel like trump counts in your list. The trumps may not be a wealthy political dynasty but trump managed to manipulate the media for decades and that works too.

It's not true that anyone can get elected president, but anyone with enough money and recognition has a good chance.

You should teach them that stuff anyway, ideally before they are teenagers. People are going to get frisky, it's inevitable, at least they should be able to protect themselves.

More nazi shit. . .

Maybe trump is beginning to think he might not win the presidency so he's got to grift as much as possible while he can.

Yeah, my job sometimes requires me to drive round areas where people may be sunbathing. What I do is drive in first gear even if it is frustrating and be observant because I don't want to hit anyone. Seems like this ought to be common sense when you're driving and humans may be lying on the ground.

Yeah, a whole lot of working folks are one missed paycheck from homelessness. I'm old enough to remember that it wasn't always like this, if you were working you didn't have nearly so much anxiety and exhaustion, you could afford to look after a kid or have the occasional holiday, maybe own a home. Not anymore. The rich are getting richer though.

We've never really needed to use photo ID in England and never had problems with fraud. You can only visit one polling station one time, the system worked fine. The Tories changed it to deliberately disenfranchise the poor who are less likely to have these types of ID, and they did this because they're scum.

That doesn't seem funny at all to me, maybe it's in the delivery.

I'm not necessarily saying there should be a violent far left committing crimes. . . but the right keep trying to both-sides their terrorism shit, that's how you get a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Indeed. Some of us prefer being locked in the pantry.
