What did he achieve? That's the entire point - his business ventures are essentially all failures. You're talking about Steve Jobs, who won (early Apple), lost massively (Lisa and the Mac), lost (NeXT, perhaps a planned loss) then won (NeXT being sold to Apple), then won big twice (Pixar and the res...

lolololol

I wouldn't guess that you're any of those, I don't even think the low-information voter tag that's appropriate for so much of Trump's base. I think you're ideologically-motivated, willing to indulge in a bit of hypocrisy when it suits a rhetorical need and willing to accept whatever comes along with...

Trump repeatedly filed bankruptcy because he took on too much high-interest debt and was unable to turn properties into profitable ventures to pay the debt, often diluting his wealth and ownership in the process. He didn't do it to protect himself from vengeful tenants. This is like saying that some...

As a straight white male beyond the draft age, thus immune to the worst-case scenarios of a Trump admin aside from Great Recession 2.0, I'm settling in to just enjoy this shit show for a while.

Even Glenn Beck thinks Bannon is beyond the pale

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Not a Democrat, but what does that even mean?

Lol, just realized the goalposts shifted from 'losers don't get a say' to 'only pussies give in when the losers want to have a say.'

Charges dismissed... just like Jones. Jones even got paid for his arrest, did Bannon?
If charges are irrelevant, only convictions, why did you bring them up regarding Jones.

It's okay to be a hypocrite, everyone is, but it's much easier to just be honest about your motivations from the jump.

He is an Avowed Communist. See ya Van. Even Obama shitcanned his stuppid ass. Was an avowed communist. Which still isn't illegal - you may find it objectionable but it is not illegal. Reporters also uncovered a number of racist statements Mr. Jones has made, including this one from January of last ...

You're assuming that it was the public voices (the Republican ones) that did him in.. I can't imagine that Schumer and Gillibrand were happy with his '9/11 conspiracy' support . Irrelevant. Do I need to quote the post again? The objection entered is about 'losers thinking they have a say' - the GOP...

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/09/13/how_could_obama_have_hired_van_jones_98293.html This is a fine example of the dishonest or ignorance conundrum. You can start with the very first charge - he wasn't even arrested in LA during the riots. He was arrested in SF, released and never c...

As far as merits, though, I had to double check because I've never particularly given a shit about Van Jones as a person or political figure. But we have pl54's statement: Well except for the Arrests, Prison Terms, and the Communist Conversion in Prison Now, as usual I question whether some people a...

So we have to appoint Bannon and give it six months before pl54's statement becomes absurd?

The question is not about the merits of opposition but the statement that opposition itself isn't kosher. If the 'losers' don't get to protest appointments then timeline is irrelevant.

So Democrats aren't calling for Bannon's ouster and Republicans didn't call for Jones's and on the same forum page where we're discussing those two no one said "the idea that the losers get to pick and approve the Winner's staff is just another level of hilarity since Tuesday"? I don't kno...

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. It wasn't me calling it crazy for people to object to White House staffing.

Every statement they've put out is that Bannon is equal to Priebus - the latter is just a bone thrown to the GOP leadership, if anyone is getting thrown under the bus it's him. Obama couldn't have been courting GOP support, I was told yesterday that all he did was divide Washington! Again, level of ...

Blonde kid in the second row appears to have not studied for the test.

I thought the fat kid in the front was just phoning it in but he stepped his game up.

Trump dickbag's line about how he was in Germany and they didn't let the niggras over there...

He's not a good businessman, though. Even if you want to skip the bankruptcies and taxpayer giveaways, he'd be worth more had he put Daddy's money into index funds.

Wife-beating, anti-Semitism and white nationalism instead. You can try to argue that Jones's past and connections were worse, that's entirely a matter of opinion. What you expressed shock and dismay at, however, was the idea that the losers can influence or dictate Presidential staffing. Like Republ...

Not much they can do that wouldn't play well for him - trade war? Damned furriners hurtin America.

Yeah, this reaction is completely unprecedented.
