I think a 10 yo could do that.
It would be like John Elway trying to pay me $100 to root for the Broncos. Thatās the beginning, middle and end for them with politics.
Why on earth would I root for a politician from the other side to make my life better, when that might help them win, and now I have to watch my enemies rejoice on election night?
It absolutely goes back to the old āDonāt outsmart them; outnumber them.ā.
āWho qualifies?ā
The editors on Apprentice must have been geniuses to make something coherent and watchable out of that moronās ramblings. I think the general public finds Trump fascinating. Like how can this mongoloid be a billionaire and āreal estate tycoonā? It was cute when it was just his little show, but horrifying now that heās killing millions. I wonder what % of his ardent supporters actually think heās a genius and what % are in on the joke, but just pretend heās not a moron b/c he justifies their xenophobia and bigotry.
I remember innocently watching the first season of The Apprentice and thinking it was good TV. The Apprentice is going down as the most important TV show of all time.
I remember thinking it seemed like a legit competition in seasons 1 and 2. As it moved along it was obvious it was a complete joke and entertaining just to see what idiotic thing Trump would do or say and the way the producers would have to edit the episode to make Trumpās final firing remotely make sense.
I think the last season I watched was the Annie Duke season, where she clearly crushed by any reasonable standard. The riggage was was so massive it was impossible to hide even with massive editing.
Iām not exactly what you would call a fan of hers. I remember thinking to myself, Trump is such an asshole I almost feel sorry for her (which prior to that I would have thought to be a very difficult thing to accomplish). Little did I know that we had barely scratched the surface of Trumps assholery.
Yah, the winners were clearly rigged towards someone Trump liked and/or someone who was working with NBC.
Annie Duke was drawing dead before she even started.
Penn Jillette was arguably the best contestant ever on the show, but was never gonna win either b/c of his politics.
He is insane, weak and insecure. Why else would a leader spend so much time in a huge crisis lying and crying about how was right months ago?
Edit: I mean, apart from the fact that he wasnāt right at all, what purpose does it serve to incessantly whine about it? Itās not getting any problem related to the crisis solved. Itās literally a waste of everybodyās time.
80-20%
Itās annoying, because as a layman/dumbass I think itās obviously true. But this all happened before, with Barry AuH2O:
The Goldwater rule is Section 7 in the American Psychiatric Associationās (APA) Principles of Medical Ethics,[1] which states that it is unethical for psychiatrists to give a professional opinion about public figures whom they have not examined in person, and from whom they have not obtained consent to discuss their mental health in public statements.
There is some other group, the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA), who are like yeah nah, we donāt have that rule. That doesnāt seem to be these people, though, as the Business Insider article linked in the Salon article has one of them justifying the action by citing a different rule from a different body:
She said āwhenever the Goldwater rule is mentioned, we should also refer to the Declaration of Geneva, established by the World Medical Association 25 years earlier, which mandates physicians to speak up if there are humanitarian reasons to do so. This Declaration was created in response to the experience of Nazism.ā
^Thatās kind of broad, no? Fairly close to āWhenever the Goldwater rule is mentioned, we should be like āLOL fuck the Goldwater ruleāā. Itās hard to see Nazism qua Nazism being brought down or even hampered by some bunch of psychiatrists speaking out. That was an out-and-out fascist takeover permeating most of the society and culture. And I donāt think itās even accurate! The WMAās Declaration of Geneva says:
I WILL NOT USE my medical knowledge to violate human rights and civil liberties, even under threat
I believe thatās the complete document and thatās the closest I can find to āspeaking out if there are humanitarian reasonsā. It really seems to be more about not co-operating than āspeaking outā. So it all seems a bit strained to me.
OTOH, I donāt have a whole lot invested in the integrity of the APA and if it hurts Trump, fuck it, go for it, really. I doubt it will, though.
What the fuck?
Wat?
I would also like an answer to this.
I donāt know the original ad, but that seems disconcertingly effective to me.
I believe thatās an AllState commercial being mangled by Trump. I donāt know for sure, but I donāt think that would be in the public domain to be used for this kind of purpose. If Iām AllState, Iām contacting its legal department right away.
