      While you’re at it, take a look at this beachfront property I have for sale. On Mars. Elon Musk is planning on sending one of his rockets up there soon, so you’d better get in on the ground floor on this one!

    The problem is that not a single one of those voters will reflect on what led to them being tricked by this man and not only learn absolutely nothing, but continue to claim he’s better than anything evil other party could put up.

    People who can and do actually think have been telling you that they’re a dumbass idea that’s ultimately only going to hurt consumers since the very first moment Trump started talking about them.

        Are some people’s turds more capable than others?

        I always figured a returd was the one that came back up after you tried to flush it away.
