And America's morons want someone they can relate to. Even if it's another moron. Especially if it's another moron.

So he then can say, "I run the biggest, best, most filthy rich country in the world!" and idiots can feel better about themselves being unemployed.
I don't want to sound elitist because I'm all for equality, but what you said is why not everyone should be allowed to vote. It sucks that the vote of someone who is not educated and is voting for someone who they "relate to" is worth the same as the vote of someone who cared enough to do research before making their choice

Anyone who listens to trump queef about on political issues deserves him as president
I hear he might be looking for his next gig:


Lots of wealthy people have done that in the past.
Absolutely true. With the exception of perhaps Buffet and a few others, a lot of billionaires play much higher stakes games of chicken where they leverage the crap out of what they have and loan, loan, loan so that when there's a chance they fail -- they fail spectacularly. But they file bankruptcy and do it all over again. The stakes are that much higher compared to the bets you and I might make (like "Do I get the chicken or the beef burrito?").

I've struggled with this concept for years. Representative democracies seem to fail when it comes to idiots. But then where do you draw the line? It's tricky. Most people in this country I wouldn't trust to find a boyfriend or girlfriend they wouldn't completely f* up, let alone choosing our president.

Now that ain't your average movie.

Speaking of Peruvian shamen...

Yep. It's hard to know where to draw the line
