... ALL of our now former allies are democratic socialists for Christ's sake! Trump vomits forth triggers for his brain-dead "base" to get them frothing at the mouth over FUCKING NOTHING, just to make sure he's ALWAYS the center of attention! He is a malicious CHILD!
Not long ago, I had a troll here call me out for saying that socialism, in its purest form , was nothing more than putting the best interests of people ahead of the best interests of corporations, which is never a bad thing, except to corporatists, who are sociopaths who would gut their grannies for a buck, or just for a joke. Remember those Texas-based Enron shitstains that laughed about old ladies freezing to death because they were manipulating brownouts in other states?
And people wonder why I won't let a Republican in my house. Do you know what it costs to fumigate the place afterwards?
