Is this supposed to be a hot take? What's next - is Stern going to assert that Trump's popularity is fueled by his scapegoating of immigrants?B.A. Bearacus said:
Howard Stern: "no doubt" DT's run for the presidency was a publicity stunt.
Hehe. Well, I think it just sounds different coming out of Stern's mouth, given his friendship with DT (no way to construe as DT-bashing), the fact that Stern has a following that I assume skews Republican by a good bit, and that he is probably considered a straight-shooter. For him to say that this was a stunt whose ultimate goal was to prop up The Apprentice's flagging ratings and that DT had zero intention of actually being president and that he very likely hates the part of the presidency that came after winning the election... may be news to some and help them assess how much DT really cares about doing the position justice.Unit2Sucks said:Is this supposed to be a hot take?

What I found most interesting is that Stern said Trump begged him for an endorsement and wanted him to speak at the convention. He also said he could have had any job in the administration he wanted - but Stern is just as much of a self-promoter as Trump so who knows if any of that is true. By the way, Stern used the phrase "inside information" but he hasn't shared any - to this point he's just parroting what other people have said publicly. He's peddling a book.B.A. Bearacus said:Hehe.

Potentially unreconciled moment that disturbed your sleep last night.bearister said:
Do you ever wake up in the morning and try to come to grips with the fact that the failed game show host has turned the government of the United States into a bad episode of the Jerry Springer Show with all of his supporters in the studio audience cheering and throwing things onto the stage?

Am I serious? Frankly I'm not serious but why why not go with full submission since they've 90% there. It's either lick them there boots...or it's golden showers time. In which case, licking boot seems easier and pragmatic (no need to get wet or soiled on) and those GOP have been nothing but pragmatic when carrying Deranged Donnie's water and pee bottle.concordtom said:Are you serious?Another Bear said:Frankly I'm surprised there's not actual boot licking going on there.

Uh, never mind. They already have.
In hell.

Disgraceful. Wonder how much tRump made.
The real issue here is whether Kushner has used his position in the cabinet to make this money and raise funds for his highly leveraged real estate business. He probably did.bearister said:
