Terrifying News for the Marxist Democrat Party, looks like the Democrat party lost over 2 Million registered voters, while at the same time Republicans gained almost 3 Million registered members.

The Marxist Democrat party is seriously hemorrhaging members.  Their PRO-crime and PRO-murder stance is driving people away from their party.

Who can blame the populace when the Marxist Democrats are the Pro-crime party, with some of its members wanting to remove any misdemeanors from the records of their criminals out there.

While ICE which is damned by many, many leftist Democrats in the party is removing the most vile of criminals here in this country, rapists, child molesters, child traffickers, and heinous murderers, the Democrats are trying to kill ICE officials and officers.

In Chicago over the weekend, the Democrat run city had 7 murders and close to 40 people shot.

This is the new Marxist Democrat party, PRO-crime, pro illegal immigrant criminals.

My parents ran a small business specializing in meat and it was founded in 1948 after they took over from my Mom’s older sister and husband who had it during the end of the depression and WWII. 

My parents wanted to retire and my older brother and I decided to keep it in the family so we took over in 1984 and built the business from a little 800 sq/ft retail space to over 6500 sq/ft selling both retail and wholesale specializing in high quality meats and deli for a good value. For over 40 years we had sales from $1.5 to $2 million and a very loyal clientele. My brother died in 2007 and I ran it by myself until I sold the business in 2024. We employed hundreds of people over those years and helped put dozens of kids through college with flexible hours and good wages. Many would come back to work the holidays even after they graduated. It was a valued community institution in our city. 

Satisfied Dick? Now you tell us where you got your Biomedical engineering degree. 

I’m now enjoying retirement and traveling the world. I didn’t get a lot of time off running the operation so I’m making up for it now. A cruise to the Mexican Rivera and the sea of Cortez is next with a lady I met on my last cruise. I wasn't looking for one but it just happened. Must be my devastatingly good looks and sparkling personality. LOL 

Edited so the grammer nazi doesn't pounce again.

I fully expect a flurry of threads from Rich full of all kinds of right-wing half-truths and ass-hattery to distract everyone in 3, 2, 1...

At least Rich doesn't disappoint. He's as predictable as the sun rising in the East. He weaponized the information immediately.

Yeah, Rich's psychosis is entirely predictable. Especially after you've seen it as many times as we have. I do have to give Rich credit for one thing, though, and that is when I do run into narcissistic behavior in the wild now, which honestly isn't that often, I recognize it right away and know exactly how to deal with it.

I, for one, took pleasure in reading about your success. Thanks for sharing it; it makes us normal people vicariously happy. Rich, on the other hand, couldn't help but weaponize it and bring up something completely unrelated to the point at hand, of course. It's ok, the rest of us know him and who he is, so ignore it.

No one was criticizing Trump for his inheritance that I recall. The main points of criticism are:

  1. Even if Trump had taken the $413Mn that he inherited, and had done nothing with it but stuck it into an index fund 40+ years ago, he would be much richer than he is today. He would, by even conservative estimates, be worth $20Bn or more, instead of the measly several billion he claims. This belies the fraud that he is some excellent businessman with uncanny acumen.
  2. A significant portion of his inheritance was acquired through tax-advantaged transfers and bailouts of questionable nature.
  3. Maybe even more importantly, Trump has repeatedly over the years declared himself to be a self-made billionaire, which is total bunk. He's benefited massively from his inherited wealth and family support.

Threatens people from behind the safety of his internet connection (this is the funniest one) but would never follow through.
The list goes on and on, and if he weren't such a toxic loser, I'd feel sorry for him. But I don't.
Feel free to add to this pathetic list.
  1. He thinks empathy is a weakness. He cries whenever he thinks he's being criticized.
  2. He thinks he's an alpha, but he's really just allergic to accountability.
  3. He thinks intimidation tactics are worthy of respect and confuses being loud and prolific with being right.
  4. Gaslights everyone, thinking he is the sole arbiter of facts and truth.
  5. Claims others are emotional or dramatic, but throws tantrums like a toddler.
  6. etc.

It merely happened spontaneously. Calling him out repeatedly is much better than expecting him to behave like a normal, rational, functioning adult.
