I’m in an Anthropology of Cults and Charismatic leaders class right now and we spend SOOOO much time talking about MAGA because it checks literally ALL of the boxes 😫
I keep telling people who are surprised that someone as ignorant and incompetent as Donald can have so many followers it’s because he has the ego and total absence of integrity that makes him so good at manipulating people and he is a practically perfect example of giving them what they want, which is usually not an admirable side of human nature. What are most con games about? They’re about appealing to the marks greed. Why do you think those “African official who needs to get $10 million out of the country” emails keep popping up? Donald’s greatest con is spawning a cult.
Years ago I spent some time in your state in connection with an educational project. Most of the people I met told me "Don't need none them books or education. The rapture's comin. Besides, we got plenty of oil money." Needless to say, I didn't come away with a good impression. I am delighted to find two classy and intelligent women having great and insightful discussions on the major issues of our time! Keep up the good work!
could you imagine getting your wealth and business handed to you by daddy, then losing it all and having other people step up to bail you out OVER AND OVER, going bankrupt 6 times and getting bailed out over and over, having banks see your crappy history of going out of business but they hand you BILLIONS in loans over the last 30 years some of which he refused to pay back, having foreign leaders hand you money and power for laundering their money through your failed businesses (one that comes to mind is the palm beach property he bought for under $30 million but sold for $95 million to a russian oligarch!), to have Saudis give your daughter and son in law $2 billion dollars...JUST KEEPS GETTING things handed to him, could you imagine having that kind of life? And now on top of it all there are people who think he is a messiah? No wonder he is such a narcissist, he has never had to apologize to anyone, just keeps getting handed a get-out-of-jail-free card, over and over. of COURSE he thinks he is jesus, he gets away with everything while others get caught and lose everything. it's insane. GIRL PLEASE!
Deep down he knows he's not worthy and that is why he is so dangerous. Take the cash and enjoy life, expand the success for the next generation, that would be most people's reaction if handed the empire but trump is not normal, he craves attention and wants to test limits.
Spot on ladies, your take on the orange stable genius is right on with every point you make. Educated, worldly, accomplished women scare the hell out of maga.
Ooh ooh, I've got one! I've HAD IT with CHRISTIAN ROCK MUSIC ON THE RADIO!!! You're traveling, in an area where you're not familiar with the radio stations so you have it on scan, something catches your ear so you hit the button. You don't recognize it off the top of your head, but it's slightly catchy and then the chorus hits and EVERY TIME it's god something something, or blessed be the Almighty blah blah, and you're like DAMMIT!!! I. Have. HAD IT!!!
@Lisammifsud He lost every business he started. Bankrupt 3 casinos. Who does that? He has no sense at all, and yet his supporters think he's a great businessman and President. WOW. Please Vote Blue. Let the madness end.
OMG, Pumps! The bit about not letting a man run your lives when you’re married and them failing the family and the kids and the wife! I’m right there right now! DONE! I needed to hear this tonight and I’m SO glad I watched this podcast! Thank you!!!
So I am a Christian but did not know Craig Groeschel was involved in this mess. While I do not follow him or his church, he owns the highly used "Bible App". I will need to find another platform to use, as I want nothing to do with anyone who is participating in this most grotesque version of the Gospel. I am a prisoner of Florida and lead a citizen action group to promote the pro-democracy community within our state. Thanks, ladies for yet another great update!
My FAVORITE part of all of this is him doing this in some kind of partnership with Lee Greenwood. I have said FOR YEARS, since the song “God Bless the USA” came out in 1984, that the song was super creepy and that Lee Greenwood set off my “this is how nature says don’t touch” instinct. Lee Greenwood has done interviews supporting Trump & his Bible sale, saying that Trump is a godly man and one whose example we should follow. I KNEW IT. I KNEW THAT MAN WAS A CREEP! He looks like the dad who’s always just a little too eager to drive the babysitter home late at night. VINDICATION IS MINE, SAYETH ME.
Aren't we all triggered every time we see the Ex-President. He gives me the heebie jeebies 24-7. Thanks for making me laugh about it, though. You ladies rock!
Lara trump's kids must be so embarrassed by their parents. Your mom thinks shes Taylor Swift, haha or Madonna when she sung, "don't cry for me Argentina"😅😢
You two have such great power!!!! You both are so awesome, made me laugh so hard!😂 I really needed a good laugh this morning. Cheers to both of you for all the good You do, you are much needed in this crazy time we are living in.❤
I SO appreciate you ladies. Viewed from here in Europe it gives hope when the USA has people like you in it. Congratulations on escaping from an evangelical upbringing Pumps!
Some of us are just made different with better critical thinking skills. I grew up and had to be in church every Sunday. I loathed it. I can clearly remember sitting in church at 7 years old thinking “this is bullshit”.
You _know_ somebody told Lara Trump "This song is going to be YUGELY popular and will be certified platinum in no time! There's no one else who can sing this."
I am in awe of the hosts. They exude intelligence, charisma, insightfulness, and humor. Jennifer's explanation about the megachurch phenomenon is so eye-opening . I love this podcast so much.
I agree with Angie on the feeling after you realize what you missed growing up in that rubbish. It took me a good long while to grieve it before I could start living a better life.
I’m so glad you’ve found Jabari Jones! I’ve nearly suffocated on my drink every time I’ve watched another of his AI videos. He’s pure gold. He gives me peace afterwards, because I always think about the moment these videos will finally find Trump. Isn’t that thought uplifting?!? Edit: you should credit him, though. It’s only fair.
It was the Shawnee indians on lake Superior I believe , that had like 33 women that made policies. No men. They knew that women knew much more about what it takes to raise families and other things. Men hunt and did construction.
Man here: I pretty much agree. In my life I have observed that Women are generally better at big picture decisions. Men are generally better at getting it done. Women are better at the final touches.
I love this podcast but this was especially entertaining. That song 🎵 😂, just gave my friends and I a good laugh. How can Trump and his family be real ?
you all rock! thank you!!! incredibly moved by the L.T- R U M P song swoooooon - loosing my mind... knowing that Rosanne loves it so much too ... 4 sure
Spot on as usual, ladies. Part of the problem with politics is we don't have enough women in power. Hilary's not perfect but she was right. Here's my idea for the day. I think you both should run for office! You are amazing!!
This shit is hilarious. Thank you, ladies, for making some of this insanity easier for me to live through. Love from an untriggered white woman in NOLA.
Ole Lara Trump went to Karaoke one night and her husband told her she had a GREAT voice (after having a picture of cosmos) so she thought that translates to her being a 'natural' singer/artist......
@@UsernamesForDummiesTo be fair though, he could probably come up with Russian, Slovenian, Mexican, American, and English and he clearly has about the same linguistic confidence in all of them. I'm not sure he could point to any of them on a map, however.
YOU LADIES NAILED IT --- distilled the points and honestly why isn't anyone paying attention in the MAGA camp? BTW --- I'm obsessed with you both. A new listener here --- keep up the topics ladies!!!
