Draining the swamp

[MarAzul]

I never denied it.....you assumed I never had and just collected pers all my life or a military paycheck....small part of my journey

I did indeed, due to lack of any other info. But I notice you make no mention of appreciating the jobs you had. Do you view rich man as users, instead of the source of a job?

 

[riverman]

Not that I have anything against little people - I don't

hint...they don't like being called midgets

 

[Denny Crane]

hint...they don't like being called midgets

Well, that is something that's gone in and out of style.

I don't really give a shit about being politically correct. The name doesn't harm them.

 

[MarAzul]

You're offering me a job, right Marz? I'll take care of your boat but it'll cost you

Not yet, I haven't figured out thus far how to turn million to billion.

 

[riverman]

I have many many wealthy friends I admire.....and I've already said this but I'll repeat it...I view corrupt tycoons who profit at the expense of others bad for the country and I view wealthy people who contribute to betterment of our country great people....the divisive issue here is Trump.....I think he's a liar and less than honest about his dealings or his past. I think he's an asshole and I don't think he is a self made man. Snake oil salesman...I've made no claims otherwise, yet my personal feelings about him should not reflect on my values, wins or losses. As far as I know Marz....you could be in debt up to your ears and corrupt....I like to think otherwise, especially in conversations around here.

We know...so now you can dust off all those horrible names for people. The N word will probably be joke fodder now and that's SAD!!!!!

 

[MarAzul]

LOL

Bill Clinton promised his cabinet would "look like America."

I think they were all midgets/little people. Shalayla, Reich, Albright, probably others I'm not recalling. I do remember seeing them all together at the State of the Union address and it was interesting to see so many little people.

I guess according to Clinton, America looks like little people. Not that I have anything against little people - I don't.

Yeah, that bunch could have been called the Credenza instead of the Cabinet.

bullshit....call any child a horrible name and you do some harm. easy to say if you're a white male....butt hurt sore loser is your favorite now I guess

Well there has to be a reason for this difference in opinions of the man. In fact, my opinion, the man has the chance to be the best President in my memory. That sir, is a stark difference that I can not begin to see a reason for the difference.

It's not a horrible name.

It's not like the Progressive Agenda to murder them because it's makes a better society. That's really harmful.

Call my wife a Chink and you'll find out otherwise....lot of bluster Denny...I'm 100% certain you would never call Damian Lillard BOY or N.........to his face either.....you're lying to the world when you say you don't give a shit about the political correctness we use to address each other out of respect...

fuck your dictionary from 1722 and your double standards.....that's a perjorative...and midget isn't accepted by anyone anymore.....when you say you don't believe in political correctness...you are accepting some really ignorant habits and justifying them....I'm done playing ping pong here....you know better or should

Geez! It seems you are conflating etiquette and Political correctness.

This.

nope, responding to a post saying you can call people derogatory names and not be called out on it because you don't give a shit and it doesn't hurt anybody....etiquette would be not farting at the dinner table...

Funny you didn't give the title of this piece, Denny. I'll provide it for you:
Trump’s false claim he built his empire with a ‘small loan’ from his father
Here's a quote you missed, as well:

Trump protests too much when he says that Rubio’s $200-million figure is “wrong by a factor of hundreds.” Trump likely did not inherit $200 million by himself, though perhaps that was the size of the father’s estate, before taxes.

Moreover, Trump’s claim that he built a real-estate fortune out of a “small” $1 million loan is simply not credible. He benefited from numerous loans and loan guarantees, as well as his father’s connections, to make the move into Manhattan. His father also set up lucrative trusts to provide steady income. When Donald Trump became overextended in the casino business, his father bailed him out with a shady casino-chip loan—and Trump also borrowed $9 million against his future inheritance. While Trump asserts “it has not been easy for me,” he glosses over the fact that his father paved the way for his success — and that his father bailed him out when he got into trouble.

For ignoring and playing down the substantial advantages his father’s wealth gave him, Trump earns Four Pinocchios.

Yes, the false claim was $1M, when it was $14M.

Reich claimed he was given $200M by his father.

Bzzzzt. Thanks for playing.

Read your own citation. His father's fortune was worth $200M, which was split several ways among Trump's siblings.

Ah! thank you for shedding some light on your view. I can now see how Mr. Trump in my view, can be Asshole in yours.

What part of the word "offensive" which is RIGHT FUCKING THERE after the word "noun" don't you understand?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Of course, we're also taking it on faith that Trump is worth billions now. Only his taxes would tell us that. Wonder why he's so shy about releasing them? I guess it depends on how he feels at the moment.

 

[Denny Crane]

"An extremely or unusually small person."

That's it.

Synonym: dwarf.

Yep.

His taxes would tell us no such thing.

The sum of his balance sheets would.

You should run this by some actual small people and get some feedback...now back to your..."I don't give a shit, words don't harm people"......there are many of those words...are you just adding them one by one back into your vocabulary or will you just make them all ok now that Trump is the example?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

One thing we can all agree on: he's a lot less rich (and has a lot less governing experience) than Michael Bloomberg.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Henceforth calling someone "a Denny" shall be considered fighting words.

I think it's PC run amok.

The name isn't like the N word by any stretch.

Feel free. I'm not offended.

Sticks and stones (for barfo's benefit, fifth grader kind of stuff).

He's maybe about as wealthy as Bloomberg.

What does Bloomberg own?

Why? because there are more black people to respond?
