What was deplorable about them? You do know that lots of times a bankruptcy actually saves a company from closing and keeps thousands of people working. Sucks to be on the creditor side of the deal but there are some positives.


The problem is the only person spared was him. Hence deplorable.

So you don't think certain gang bangers/drug dealers/career criminals take advantage of people all the time? I would venture to say a lot of them are morons. Yet what do you know they still somehow manage.


The ones who are in a position to practice leverage are typically not morons, no. Lack of education does not prohibit raw analytical power and intuition.

Regardless, I'm asking you to provide evidence for your positive claim that Trump is a moron, under the working defition of 'substandard intellectual capability' that we previously agreed was accurate.

How dare he be so racist! Everyone knows that Mexicans don't eat Mexican food!


There is nothing Mexican/Hispanic at all about a taco bowl. Trump should probably brush up on actual S. American cuisine before tweeting/spouting another of his fricked up soundbytes.

I mean...the man is a genius at marketing himself, but how anyone thinks the man is authentic or cares or just really gives a shite about any of this is beyond me But kudos for to him for getting this far. God help us if you guys elect him as POTUS.


Name the last President (or any politician for that matter) that you think truly cared or was completely authentic and "one of us". I'll wait....

Calling someone a moron b/c of a photo op and your own personal disdain is weak. Bring something real or be other jackass poster on the OT.


Well if you could read you would see that the photo had nothing to do with me calling him a moron and I have mentioned some reason, but of course you can't acknowledge that. Then you would have no leg to stand on.

nah, started by gringos, never saw anything like what we think of as Mexican food in Mexico until they figured what an untapped market they were missing out on and started catering to the gringos

Maybe your faith in democracy will be diminished! I sure hope so.


It has been for a while.

When an educated person's vote is valued the same as the idiots that make up the majority of the rest of the population, there is a problem.

We may all be created equally, but we don't all develop equally.

Oh thanks for clearing that up. So sinking companies that he owned and that a lot of people were invested in to save is own arse is a good thing and a presidential quality right?



It happens when you roll the dice and invest. The other investors knew the risk too. Anyone that has ever taken any risk in a business understands this. I have lost one business, sold another, and am on my 3rd that's doing well. You just never know. A million things can go wrong and hurt a thriving business.

As far him protecting his own arse, would you rather him sink all of his businesses and personal assets to save an underperforming business because of principles? So it would be better to have a crap load of unemployed people instead of just the ones in the businesses that he reorganized or shuttered? That would be an even worse Presidential quality IMO. You have to know when to cut a bad investment and move on.

Again, there's a reason he is where he is, and you're waiting to go work the night shift at Outback probably.
