  2. Zero consideration about the world our kids and grandkids are going to live through. Just “what can I get now”.

  3. He’s destroying America to stay out of prison. 

    It’s *that* simple. 

  4. Huh, its almost like screwing the economy over multiple times ends up with the economy getting screwed. Who could have predicted that? If only economists on all sides of the political spectrum had warned us about this.

  5. It’s part of a very tragic cycle. And it starts with the right-wing think tanks. That just happen to be funded by the fossil fuel industry.

  6. He’s venture capitalisting the US. Basically harvesting everything without replanting for the future. The great reaping.

  7. America? He is fucking up the entire world. What NYT, you think climate change respects borders?

  8. Malignant narcissists will do that every single time.

    Perceived slights even from years in the past are never forgotten.

  9. My future descendents will have less rights and a more polluted planet than their parents or I had. If they are females it will be an even tougher place. We are going backwards at a breakneck speed and will take decades to fix if we ever get a chance to reclaim it. All because of a class sized amount of people wanted more money, power, or try to end the world so they can bring their God back – oh yeah and one little orange rapist pedo who really wants to stay out of jail.

  11. He’s screwing all the kids in America. He’s a repeat offender.

  12. It isn’t “own the libs”. That is the excuse. Its to dismantle the government for the oligarchs and create a dictatorship.

  13. If half the country voted to elect a corrupt rapist criminal and said country’s political apparatus could not or did not want to punish him for crimes committed while in office, maybe the country should be torn down

  14. Republicans choose a child rapist over democrats because they have been conditioned to believe that democrats are worse than child rape.  The New York Times helped. 

  15. As an European I can tell you the US has lost all in the last six months. This country completely sucks and needs at least twenty years to recover from this shit.

  16. Epstein is eptseining the epstein of Epstein to epstein the epsteins

    Files. Now.

  18. Trump’s supporters aren’t trying to “own the libs”. They’re genuine white nationalist fascists.

  19. Why is everything they do to “own the libs”? Maybe the GOP is just associated with a bunch of evil fucking sociopaths who only give a fuck about amassing power and living in the lap of luxury to subjugate those they consider “beneath” them.

    The only owning they want to do is to literally own us.

  20. I don’t give af how deep the hole goes, the Epstein Files are all that matter.

    The 45 and 47 POTUS r*pes kids.

  21. Friend of mine is going to be getting his PhD in materials engineering pretty soon, and all of his job prospects are out of the country now.

    These things are highly dependent on government funding and the US has pulled back on basically all of that, we’re simply not doing that compared to just a year ago. He’s specializing in graphene plating for semiconductors, real neat stuff, over my head but he explains things so well because he’s definitely a smart guy. But the whole thing doesn’t exist without government funding, and we’re letting all of that go. He has one lab in the Czech Republic that wants him, and another in Germany.

    Just last year he had no intention of leaving the US but now his entire field doesn’t exist here. So yeah, there’s the brain drain.

  22. Elitist power grab dressed up around owning the libs and MAGA. He doesn’t care about owning the libs.

  24. He’s destroying America because he works for Putin.

  25. Putin has kompromat (dirty secrets) that he’s holding over Trump’s head. Putin knows Trump is terrible for America – a selfish, egotistical, and petty person. So as long as Trump is poisoning our country, weakening it and isolating it from former allies, Putin is content to just let America destroy itself.

    But although it’s a long leash he gives Trump, it’s a leash nonetheless, and Putin has no problem reminding Trump that he has extremely compromising stuff that he could make public if Trump defies him. I think the general consensus is that the ‘peepee tapes’, despite the silly name, are real and in Russia’s possession.

  26. Enough of this “it’s to own the libs” nonsense. That’s the line he sells his mug followers. That’s not the truth. The truth is he’s doing it to line his pockets.

    A man who is in corporate construction circles gets the keys to the coffers of America and pushes to build walls. Now he’s pushing to build camps. Government contracts to build all that shit have to go somewhere and I’ll guarantee you if you follow the money you’ll end up back at Trump or someone close to him in his building and construction world.

    Now apply that formula to every decision he’s making. He’s not owning libs. He’s facilitating the movement of public money into private hands and inventing reasons to make that happen.

    It’s the standard plunder of the treasury bullshit they’ve done on the right for years.

    The media just want an ongoing story to push because having an ongoing story to push keeps them in business so we get them parroting the “alternative fact” part given to them by the perpetrators of the crime.

    It’s just bog standard theft.

  27. He’s framing it as “owning the libs” to get his base to fall in step with no questions. He’s destroying the future of America because he and his cronies are corrupt jerks that are making themselves and those around them richer.

  29. “to own the libs” who fucking wrote the title for this bullshit article? He’s a self obsessed narcissistic psychopath surrounded by the same hellbent on destroying America to enrich himself.

  31. Correction:

    Trump is destroying the country to stay out of prison and avoid accountability.

    Republican lawmakers are destroying the country to protect Trump from prison.

    Republican voters and MAGA are destroying the country to own the libs

  32. Republicans are. They love that he’s destroying. This has been their dream for decades. Never let them off the hook for that. They’re not afraid of him, they love what he does.

  33. Trump is definitely not trying to “own the libs” that’s his supporters goal. Trumps goal is to own the country and all its wealth.

  35. He’s a billionaire doing what private equity does. 

    Loot everything for immediate benefit and leave a husk behind. 

  36. Never before in history so few have stolen so much from so many.

  37. Also to appease Putin and Bibi and the tech bros.

  38. Trump doesn’t care about *libs* or *dems* or *magats* or whatever other silly names people give “the other team.”

    Trump only cares about himself and doing whatever distracts people from the fact that he’s a serial rapist and child molester who probably had his pedophile best friend murdered.

    His every action is simply for two things: to keep himself out of prison, and to extract money from his cultists; in that order.

  40. I think it’s deeper than that. Owning the libs is a bonus but he really wants to be a dictator and he’s made that clear.

  42. Trump wants to own America like Putin owns Russia. Wants to be able to fire and remove anyone he wants, and take control for himself whenever he pleases.

  43. Nah hes destroying it cause he is a child fucker that got caught

  44. Not really. He’s doing it for the sole purpose of enriching himself and his cronies while destroying all his enemies (many of which are libs, but a good portion are non-MAGA Republicans, too). Republicans *voted for him* and therefore are *destroying THEIR future* to own the libs.

    It’s very easy to understand this.

  45. Republican voters did.
    Trump was shit on his first term and these people went ahead and picked him again and will do a third time if they can.

  46. As much as I’d like to, we can’t put this all on him. Millions of Americans did this because they’ve been fed a steady diet of hatred for liberals as a scapegoat for capitalism their whole lives.

    Simpletons did this to us. The rapist in chief is a symptom, not the cause.
