10. Unless, of course, you happened to be a Tea Party or like-minded fool.

I still come upon comments from time to time from that type of fool on Huff Post or some other site where some knob complains about how oppressed they were during the Obama years. ("I can get cheaper health insurance - oh, the horror, the horror!" )

It probably goes without saying that these are the same idjits now protesting lockdowns or, as Trump calls them, "very fine people". Heck, he's one of them - fools, damned fools, complete idiots and maroons. Conspiracy theory loons. Idiocracy is here.

My NYC area uncle, aunts and cousins were calling him a buffoon for the better part of 40 years ago. He was instrumental, if not the main culprit, in the demise of the USFL. See the linked articles below on the USFL anti-trust suit against the NFL (and I'm no fan of the NFL business model - corrupt as hell). Anything in any of these articles sound familiar? (And I don't think this failure is included amongst his many bankruptcies.)
