Three more years of reports from Mar-a-Lago of the indulged wealthy enjoying their unmerited sense of entitlement and their undeserved feeling of superiority will lead me fully to embrace my inner George Orwell, and if not then democratic socialism, at least the inheritance tax.

Rich people are like everybody else, some are nice and some are assholes. Trump attracts the latter.

(11,564 posts)She met MANY of the rich and powerful from both the S FL area, and from around the US. Many of them were surprisingly nice and down-to-earth.
She also met Bill O'Reilly.

Let this be the lesson...Republicans don't give a damn about the rest of the country until what they fuck up effects THEIR America (in this case, Billys ability to claim to be a Republican with a straight face and not get laughed at). But now that it DOES its OMG 'let justice be done tho the heavens fall'.
I suppose I'll have to make due with his temporary enlightenment. But mark my words it IS temporary, because as soon as another Romney comes along, or a Pence or a Cruz, the blinders will be back on again and the darkness will return, and he can say yeah, well, it least it isn't Trump.
Fuck that. When he's ready to embrace universal health care and a sane and Just tax code, I'll consider his redemption permanent. Until then he can fuck off.
He helped BUILD this house.

(4,858 posts)...not now. Wallowing in the sins of the Dubya Administration is something the country cannot afford right now. We need everybody we can get, very much including sane conservatives with remnants of a conscience. When the emergency is over, and "normal" politics returns--admittedly, a big "when"--then we can go back to mutual recriminations...
