The guy behind me that watches fox news all day because “he needs something to help him focus” immediately started spouting fox talking points as soon as the verdict was read. My younger coworkers were like, “no way, that’s crazy” to all his bs. I just had to say, “no that’s not true. I read the jury instructions and they don’t say that.” He moved onto insisting there was no evidence and Cohen perjured himself and at that point I was already on my way out the door.
He’s Gen x, a landlord, new York exile, classic gabagool. Ugh.
I think most of GenX were just crushed by the boomers, you just have to listen to GenX music to see how fatalistic and powerless they were. When Millenials came around, they started to have enough distance to the boomers to do their own thing.
And i really have the highest of hopes for GenZ and beyond.
You’re right, 30 year old boomers were ruining your life at the time, not the 70 year old politicians etc.
I’ll tell you about my life, every Gen X I’ve ever met is closer to a Boomer than a Millenial in their mindset. Even the lefter ones who went and volunteered in some developing country and did all pretend make the world better shit.
I’d complain to HR that that guy is making the workplace hostile, if not outright tell him to shut the fuck up, but I get that that’s not a safe option at a lot of workplaces
He’s a job hopper and I don’t expect him to be there more than a year or so longer. He mostly keeps his dumb shit to himself but I guess if you’re gonna spout off then the day your orange turd gets convicted of felonies is a logical one.
Wrong. Talk to him every day. Hang out on some weekends, and become friends. Plant subtle notions of egalitarianism through your friendship and generosity. Ask him thought questions about his beliefs, but not in an accusatory manner. Teach him to actually think for himself, to keep an open mind, to seek evidence rather than faith to form convictions. Slowly show him by example what it means to be a good person who cares for their fellow human beings.
Then you plant some drugs on him while at work, and call HR with your suspicions.
I asked my right wing mother if she had heard the news. She asked me if I thought the gop was finally going to pick another candidate. I like my mother.

I’m hoping the “playing the trump card” will morph into meaning you’re a lying, cheating piece of trash that should be taken outside and tarred and feathered.
It comes from the word “triumph”, which means victory. That word itself comes from Latin “triumphus” and the Roman celebration thrown for a victorious military leader.
It was shortened to “trump” while being used in card games, usually to indicate one suit having precedence over another. Then eventually it worked its way back into general language with the same meaning as “triumph”.
Edit: that’s in the context of “trump” the verb that indicates victory. For “trumped up charges”, it might come from an old English verb, “trumpen”, which means to deceive or cheat, or “trumpery”, which is pretty much a noun version of “trumpen” in meaning, though apparently it comes from a French word, “tromper”, which means to deceive (and could also be the root of “trumpen”).
‘trump’ is a term used in card games. it’s a card (usually an entire suit) that ranks higher than the rest in that game (or in some games… just an individual hand of a game).
Yes, Pokemon A is faster than Pokemon B, but A is paralyzed, so B trumps the speed stat difference and goes first.
Yes, you used your ultimate combo in blah blah fighting game, but it connected while my character was in an i-frame (invincibility frame), so that trumps it.
Its basically any time something either totally negates, or overpowers some other effect or attack or system.
Its often associated with a last ditch saving move reserved until its needed, but it does not have to be.
That’s because his supporters worship him as a new messiah and cannot conceive of him having actually committed a crime. Or they don’t care if he did or not.
They don’t care if he did. I’d argue most of his supporters in the party (Mike Johnson for example) know that he is a horrible person but will support him because he has energized a dormant portion of the voting population that can help them to gain and hold power. Trump himself isn’t even that bad, he’s a useful idiot who gives immense power to far right organizations like the heritage foundation.
And that crusade is utterly futile if Brandon wins the swing states. The traitor cunts will riot either way, what matters is whether there is any traction beyond the their inbred degenerate base.
You have to understand that this isn’t ironic to them. To them, this was not a legitimate trial and trumped up charges, if you’ll pardon the pun.

Gen Xer here that does not share your co-worker’s moronic view. Lock him up!

Gen X came right after the Baby Boomers, just as Millennials didn’t run society for Zoomers, neither did Boomers run it for X’ers.
So no, you weren’t overshadowed and made helpless by them, many of you outright relate with them just the same as I would a Zoomer.
Gen X was the last generation to get a chance at the dream life of a family, a house, and a career. They’re institutionalised.
Please don’t try to tell me about my life. You couldn’t be more wrong.

Hey, aside from the moral question practically we can’t afford to lock up every moron.
I’m sure there is a broom closet at Rikers he could fit in

You really had me there for a minute!
Last week I had to remind my parents that FBI agents are cops and pretty much always are authorized to use deadly force…

I’m Gen X, former New Yorker…and well, he probably is a gabagool. He is representative of all of us…too many, but not all.

Maybe the phrase “trumped up charges” will have new meaning after today
It’s like when you’re guilty of 34 felonies but still pretend you’re innocent to scam idiots
An image for your enjoyment
You could say his lawyers really trumped the case.
All the other kids with the trumped up charges better run better run faster than my verdicts

I’m hoping the “playing the trump card” will morph into meaning you’re a lying, cheating piece of trash that should be taken outside and tarred and feathered.
How did this saying even come about in the first place? Is it because of something Trump did a long time ago or is it some non-Trump related reason?
It comes from the word “triumph”, which means victory. That word itself comes from Latin “triumphus” and the Roman celebration thrown for a victorious military leader.
It was shortened to “trump” while being used in card games, usually to indicate one suit having precedence over another. Then eventually it worked its way back into general language with the same meaning as “triumph”.

Huh, I thought it came from music, because we’re always telling the trumpet players to blow it out their ass. Love those dudes.
‘trump’ is a term used in card games. it’s a card (usually an entire suit) that ranks higher than the rest in that game (or in some games… just an individual hand of a game).
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_(card_games)
You could also use it in many gaming contexts.
Yes, Pokemon A is faster than Pokemon B, but A is paralyzed, so B trumps the speed stat difference and goes first.
Yes, you used your ultimate combo in blah blah fighting game, but it connected while my character was in an i-frame (invincibility frame), so that trumps it.
Its basically any time something either totally negates, or overpowers some other effect or attack or system.
Its often associated with a last ditch saving move reserved until its needed, but it does not have to be.
There are card games such as Forty-Fives where a particular suit is classified as the “trumps” and cards of that suit are worth more than other cards.
Yet another thing the big orange loser has ruined.
Trumped up charges, meaning lots and lots of verifiable and provable charges.
That’s because his supporters worship him as a new messiah and cannot conceive of him having actually committed a crime. Or they don’t care if he did or not.
They don’t care if he did. I’d argue most of his supporters in the party (Mike Johnson for example) know that he is a horrible person but will support him because he has energized a dormant portion of the voting population that can help them to gain and hold power. Trump himself isn’t even that bad, he’s a useful idiot who gives immense power to far right organizations like the heritage foundation.
They view him as an imperfect tool of the lord
He’s a tool alright
That is a chill-inducing phrase.
AKA false prophet
I know these people, I was one before I learned better, should they gain the authority they seek it will be worse than you think
The South shall rise again against the War of Northern aggression!!!
We can burn another railroad
Can we use fire again to put down the rebellion, pretty please?
Yeah. If the messiah did it then it must be ok so it’s the court that’s wrong.
To his supporters there isn’t a legitimate trial.
Right, there can’t be a legitimate trial because everything is “politicized” and “a witch hunt”.
Weird how they can’t get DAs to bring charges against Hillary or Hunter though.
