Bartiromo started college at C. W. Post before transferring to New York University.[10] During her college years, she worked at the same betting parlor where her mother worked.[16] She graduated from NYU’s Washington Square Campus in 1989[17] with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism and economics.[1]

So she’s an Italian American in Brooklyn who worked her way through college in the same “betting parkor” her mom worked at, which from further reading sounds like an OTB (off-track betting, they’re all over NYC and LI). I’m betting she’s been around a bunch of drunk gambling addicts which isn’t very mentally healthy, so her moral compass is probably a bit broken, and Trump acting like a mafioso all the time probably deeply appeals to her, because those are the type of people she’s grown up around, because NYC is full of Italian Americans acting like they’ve got mob connections, especially when they don’t.

“Trump on acid?”

“No, I said ‘Trump in acid.’”

He’s still a shit head, he just probably thinks this will limit corporate money to Dems, plus most of the Republican party takes donations from shady or compromised sources like the NRA, so it doesn’t hurt them as much to limit corporate contributions.

Because kings have to have serfs and slaves, and all the yokels think they’re going to wind up the kings, they’re wrong.

All the worst people seem to be friends these days.

No dummy, this type of shit is exactly what increases domestic violence, spousal rape, and spousal murder.

Time to grow the fuck up and realize a wife isn’t a sex doll combined with a domestic servant.

If this is your religion telling you this then fuck your religion, and any other religion that offers abusive lines of thinking like this.

So kidnapping and imprisonment is what marriage is to you?

Marriage is a pact based on love and partnership, what you’re suggesting is slavery.

You got some major incel vibes going on bro, time to take yourself to a licensed mental health professional.

People shouldn’t be forced to be trapped in their shitty marriages if they don’t want to be, and not everyone needs a reason to fall out of love, or to realize they were never in love, sometimes it just happens, love is just brain chemistry and the focus of that love tends to change over your lifetime, so divorces shouldn’t need to be proven, all a divorce should need is one side calling it quits on the marriage, and we all should learn to respect that.

That’s some real “using a sharpy to correct a hurricanes path” energy Puty…

I now owe my soul to the company store…

Lamest possible response, even if a joke.

Exactly, Al Jazeera is owned by the Qatari royal family, guess where the heads of Hammas have been hiding? Qatar. So there’s no question Al Jazeera is a propaganda outlet at all.

However, still doesn’t excuse blowing up media representatives, even propagandists.

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.

What a dickhead response, real humanitarian right there.

I’ve got a raging clue!

I get the differences, but there are similarities, microfinance is just the banking world’s version of the gig economy, still predatory in nature, still exploiting the poor under the guise of helping the poor.

What’s even sadder is that it’s millions of people that some of us used to look up to and respect, now we just have a bunch of sad brainwashed shells of the people they used to be before Trump/conservative propaganda got ahold of them. They broke our communities and now they’ve broken our families, now all that’s left is for them to break is us.

I’m not the biggest Hillary fan but she’s been right about the Trump Qult from day 1 and this is a great essay from her about this topic:
