Michael Bloomberg Confronted Over Having a Security Detail While Pushing for Gun Control

Listen man, I get that. I really do live in reality. I can still wish though.

I love to live by the motto of "Say what you mean and mean what you say".

Really wish these assholes would be so happy with who they are that they would speak more truths.

I know you get it. My question was more rhetorical than anything else

I knew that, just very frustrated these days. Not just with politicians, people in general.

Just be real.

Just be real.

And I get THAT too

Even half a billion dollars in ads couldn't make Bloomberg's image less repulsive. Obismal performance on super Tuesday.

These are the kind of questions and follow ups that our reporters should be asking him and others like him.

Keep the questions coming until they fuck up and say what they really mean.

Stop being afraid of your answers. Answer the questions posed as honest as possible.

I get it, I am running for no office, if a question is asked of me, I answer that question as well and as true as I can.

Don't like my answer, do not befriend me or support me.

Your answer is a good, honest, moral, and ethical approach to the situation.

It is also an approach that guarantees you would lose the race to an opponent who doesn't play by those rules in any significant race.

One of the major flaws of a modern democracy is that it is a process guaranteed to choose terrible leaders.

The other processes are worse, but don't ever mistake democracy for "good".

Not sure about this, @spat . I think more Americans want real truth over lies and mistrruths. I know I do!

That’s one of the reasons Trump got elected. He speaks his mind. He has no reason to lie. Politics is not his career.

Certainly that's what most (maybe all) Americans want.

But the Democratic party has made a strong bet that there are enough people who can't tell the difference between honesty and BS that they can succeed.

That's why they push so hard to get the most ignorant, uninformed, and easily manipulated to vote.

I'm not sure they're wrong.

Look at who the Democrats court. The young, the chronically poor, criminals, imports from 3rd world countries, etc. All are the most easily manipulated facets of society.

Voters who think critically and analyze what they are being told scare the shit out of the Democrats, and they do anything they can to demonize us.

Part of the problem is psychological. People in general tend to be loyal to one party. Even if that party has been shown to be detrimental to them personally. This is why DemocRATs tend to stay in power. The poor keep falling for their bullschitt, and therefore the democRATs continue to be in power.

Pres. Trump is trying to break this cycle.

I hope he spends all of his fucking money on this.

“Do what I say, not as I do“ was this guy‘s mantra. Didn’t work out so well.

So he's not a politician now. Is he going to give up this guard?
