Veteran 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley reported on Donald Trumpās efforts to strong-arm some of the countryās top law firms into doing his bidding on Sunday nightās episode of the embattled CBS newsmagazine.
Pelleyās segment pulled no punches in describing Trumpās efforts and reminding viewers that Trump is the āfirst felonā ever to sit in the Oval Office.
I do suspect thereās a pretty decent sized chunk who bought into that āRepublicans are good for the economyā line of bullshit DECADES ago and have just spent the intervening time hell bent on not giving anything political even the tiniest iota of thought. These people still fucking suck, as that basically involves waking up every day and choosing to be a completely uninformed moron rather than spend 5 fucking seconds thinking about something they find uninteresting. So some are hateful bigots and some are just so fucking stupid itās a minor miracle theyāve survived this long without someone to follow them around covering the outlets and safety pinning mittens to their sleeves. Fuck em both.
āIāve been a conservative because I believe the Regan trickle down economics works.ā
My old coworker. I literally said āmy guy weāve had fifty goddamn years to show that is complete bullshit. How many more decades do we need to try it for you to realize it doesnāt work?ā
As you said, he just spent 0 time thinking about it.
But to be honest, it does work for him in a wayā¦ His parents were wealthy and so he has lived his life as a janitor and a doorman and will still be able to retire into a nice house with a ton of inheritance moneyā¦
Yeah, it trickles down from rich parents to their kids. Thatās good enough for him I guess.
