Well you know what the say, it all goes on who screams the loudest.

The leftist woke weirdoes with their crazy ideologies speak the loudest so it makes them look like all of them are like that.

The racist bigoted MAGA morons scream the loudest so it does make all of the right look like that.

I mean c'mon, you know the average joe if you either support the right, or even if you're centrist or apolitical and don't support the left, that automatically makes you a Trump supporter and a Nazi.

Ah yes, "Republicans ended slavery" so wtf happened to them in more recent times? Why must people have to reach back into history in order to defend them.

Though of course there is also a catch, that people seem to sweep under the rug because it's inconvenient.

Where did those slavery-ending republicans live, huh? Oh, that's right... the north. Are people out there believing that those virtuous republicans would then pack up and move them and their descendants to the southern states? And the dems likewise did the same, moving north? Because that didn't happen. What happened is a shift in party affiliation... Same people, different political name. The people who were against ending slavery were in the south. They're still in the south. Party names don't end things like slavery, people do. The name changed, the people didn't. So republicans ending it is a weak argument at best, either way it was those in the north, where much of their descendants still live and still disagree with racist BS rather than screaming about SJWs every time the subject comes up.


Anyway... this is supposed to be about Trump throwing all his trump cards on the table and if you love him enough you're supposed to skip buying gas and groceries, and Timmy's new bike from Santa, and happily own a jpg of fan art that will one day gets lost when your computer craps the bed/desk/table/lap.

I still can't imagine anyone being that dumb (or rich) enough to spend 99 bucks on that nonsense.

I can't imagine if someone just said 'Oh I didn't buy you (whatever you wanted for Christmas), I got you something better!' and I just show you the image of some fan-art off my phone. "Cost me nearly a hundred dollars. Pretty cool huh?"

Whoever does that honestly deserves to have their SO pack up and leave and take the kids.

Yeah, that would have to be a relationship on its way to ending anyhow, so what do they have to lose. Maybe it's a coward's way to break up.

Oh to be a fly on the wall if that really happens somewhere this Christmas, even just once.

And then drop dead, your little fuzzy fly body barely making a sound upon hitting the hardwood floor, because your little fly heart just couldn't take the absurdity and hilarity of the moment. Laying there, little feet up and destined for burial by vacuum one of these days, but it was worth it.

And if there aren’t kids, make some up and take them. Seriously!

Yeah. I still wonder if 1987 would jump in on that and buy some. That Superhero Trump one is probably the rarest since it looks the most epic and would probably require a lot of purchases to get it. lol

If I ever want to get a girl to stop chasing me, I swear I'll deck the house with American flags, pics of Trump and a big sign saying 'Trump actually won the election'.

She'll be running out in no time.

And then I'd take them all down before everyone in the neighborhood burns my house down and they put me on the No Fly List.

We can wish for all unvaccinated to get lined up and gunned down, we can wish for all Republicans in our family to ****ing die, and we can have kids questions their gender and sexuality before they even learn to stop eating play-doh, but it's all good cause we're not racists and bigots."
So let's really simplify. There's extremists on both sides, but at least most Liberals, even at their most idiotic, do actually have their hearts in the right place. They don't ACTIVELY want to make life worse for anyone, it's just a common side effect of their well-intentioned idiocy. Republicans, meanwhile, are very outspoken about how much they want to make life more difficult for various groups of people, and they claim it's because "God told them to make life worse for Those People". Intentions matter as much as actions do, and people need to be held accountable whether they're actively doing harm or passively. But I'd argue that actively doing harm is worse, because that suggests "We know this action will make life worse for certain people, we simply don't care."

Basically, Liberal Extremists are "merely" crazy and shortsighted while Conservative Extremists are Actually Evil. One side does harm through short-sighted policies they THINK will actually help people, the other just says "F*ck those people, they're gay/women/non-white/not here legally, so they deserve to suffer." Once more, the intentions matter.

And yes, being a racist bigot is a lot worse than any of the dumb sh*t the far-left Libtards put over, I don't see how that's even a conversation. There's admittedly worse things than hating an entire group of people because they're a different race or sexual orientation, but... not many. But the fact that so many of them say stuff like "It's just my beliefs/opinion, man" is even more slimy, because like, those aren't acceptable "beliefs" or "opinions" to have. "I shouldn't have to serve black people in my restaurant, I shouldn't have to bake a cake for gay people... 'my beliefs', wah wah wah." It's just How To Admit You're An Awful Piece Of Sh*t Without Saying Those Exact Words, is all it is. And they say it while acting so pious and high-and-mighty, on top of it. It's sickening.

I'd prefer not to engage with either flavor of political extremists but when you're talking about Crazy vs. Evil then Crazy wins on points every single time. Because they may be crazy and ignorant, but at least they're not Actually Evil.

I heard that the price on those things actually went up or were sold out or something. Mind-boggling, but here's what I really think. It's like book sales. Publishers buy a lot of copies to make it seem like they sold more than what they did in some cases. What if this is the case here? What if they're saying that they sold them out when in actuality, they didn't, hence driving up prices to fake their rarity and value?

Actually, there are three Breakdancing Trump cards. One where he's posing on the cardboard, one where he's spinning on his head, and the other where he's pop-locking. I hear it's a triple set. Oh and there's also the SSJ Trump card for the anime fans out there. I'm missing the Kamehameha Trump Card, the Masenko Card, and the Genki Dama card. Triple sets. He's got the right idea!

I swear, that one with Trump carrying the big Boom Box and the Sombrero Trump card that are coming out for the second set are gonna be hyuuuuuge.

I know cards, I have the best cards.

He knows anime too and that Dragon Ball is all the rage! But man, the Boom Box card is a must have! Sombrero Trump, nah...you can keep that one. I don't think that would be as cool as Boom Box Trump. Now if we get Magic the Gathering Trump cards (I hear the title of that future set is still pending), then we'd be all set. We could digitally play.

What I'd quickly wondered as well, there's no telling how many "cards" were actually available. Or if rares even exist. They claim (in the FAQ) 45,000 (44k available on the site -- what about that last 1000?) but it's digital junk so that number isn't even real unless they actually issue that many? And with no physical card it would be far too easy to just claim they sold out to create an illusion of popularity?

Feels too much like a shell game, but a laughably obvious one. The fatal flaw of being as opportunistic as he is...being so easy to see through. lol
