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.

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…

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.

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:

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/08/hillary-clinton-essay-loneliness-epidemic/674921/

The “gig” economy was only ever really set up to exploit the poor and desperate, but at the same time these people need those incomes or those second jobs doing stuff like Uber and door dash and other micro-economy jobs.

It’s really tough to be poor, uneducated, and untrained in modern society because you just get crushed by forces so far beyond your control and you are so far below those forces notice that they hardly care beyond their desires to exploit you.

Which is funny too considering how many of Trump’s friends were stand-ups or in comedy in general, like how Trump was a good friend to Howard Stern, whom is mostly friends with comedy or music legends, Howard even talks about Trump being one of the last people to leave Howard and Beth’s wedding. Although now Stern thinks Trump is a huge un-american piece of shit after Trump’s election and presidency.

So Trump has been around enough comedians to know a thing or two about stand-up, but his material just isn’t good at all.

It’s funny how whenever Trump goes on one of these tangents it’s always reminiscing about some woefully outdated way of handling whatever he’s complaining about, just like the old man he is struggling with understanding the modern world, too bad his voters are every bit as lost in modern life.

We need to unionize, or the existing Tech/Communications unions need to get better and expand to include us.

We also need to force tech departments to stop offshoring their workers, I love our Indian tech Bros as much as the next guy, but companies need to hire local first rather than ripping off Indian tech Bros on the cheap just because they can.

And lastly, let remote workers who can do their jobs perfectly fine working remote stay remote, there is absolutely no reason why someone who works in cloud or virtualization technologies should have to be onsite, same with developers, same with so many other positions, both tech and standard.

No Donald Trump would eat the poor, and a whole lot of them, just like most of his policies.

That’s the whole GOP platform, with first generation immigrants like Ted Rafael Cruz, Vivek Ramaswam, Nikki Haley, and immigrants like George Santos, these people talk about immigrants like they’re subhuman meanwhile they’re actually talking about themselves, their parents, their grandparents.

My paternal family came over from Ireland and had members who fought in every American war since WWII, I don’t see any of these people doing that, yet they’re drawn to power like moths to flame, typical chicken hawk behavior.

His grandfather, the man who changed the last name to Trump, was a German immigrant, that’s whom I was referencing.

Donald Trump, second generation German immigrant, who has lived within sight of Lady Liberty most of his life, what an embarrassment, not only to Americans, but specifically New Yorkers, one of the most mixed melting pots of a city in the entire world. What a racist idiot, especially when you consider the fact that south and central Americans were here before white people, so if anybody is diluting America’s blood line, it’s white motherfuckers like myself and Donald Trump.
