Ted Rall for October 09, 2020

He really is a BAD businessman. Good  businesspeople don’t burn their financial bridges. They work to make their deals profitable, sure, but they don’t have a goal to make the other participants suffer. And they generally act as if they’re going to be audited. Kind of like the golden rule, but with the gloves off.

USA! Number one in national security risks!

Good to know that Rall admires criminal behavior.

Next up, a cartoon extolling the virtues of bone spurs.

If you OCs hate Rall why do you read him? Go read Ramirez or Lester.

The Orange Buffoon’s casino that I visited was like him, flashy veneer covering cheap chipboard. He probably still stiffed the contractors. What a scumbag!

How many hundreds of millions does Trump own to Putin to change US government policy to help Putin every chance Trump gets?

Nah. (I’m an expert in executive assessment.) #45’s not a businessman, he’s a con man. He’s not a leader; he’s an arbitrary micromanager, going from minute to minute, desperately trying to avoid the imminent collapse of his house of cards.

Oh yes, and he’s a TERRIBLE negotiator. The story of how he bought the old Eastern Shuttle is hilarious. According to the people who sold it to him, he offered a premium price (because he wanted it RIGHT NOW) which was about a third over the evaluated worth. Obviously he hadn’t done his research, so they played hard-to-get and raised the price. He paid it. And the business failed very quickly thereafter.

So far, he appears to be guilty of money laundering (in the past, he was tight with the Mob – now the Russian Mob as well), fraud (let’s not forget, he settled the fraud case for Trump U.), self-dealing, and no doubt other forms of corruption. That’s not the way to maintain a business. But it is the way to run a criminal enterprise – and he doesn’t even do THAT well. He’s got to be terrified of leaving the White House, where prosecutors are reluctant to indict him, and the Department of “Justice” is acting as his fixer instead of doing their proper purpose.

Wow Ted, how timely— from two weeks ago. So if you’re just catching up on things from ancient history, Bernie has betrayed you and the non-voting bros.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UTjTpgFhmg

I didn’t know Ted was a Liberal. Is this an end of the world scenario when all NeoCon cartoonists turn NeoLiberal?

Have you seen trump’s latest rant? He is insane, and it’s time for his removal.

No tie-back to Biden…………………this piece is incomplete.

If the point is that capitalism is rife with such behavior, then spot on; I agree completely. If this is an indictment of Trump’s character, then it is as meaningful as the man’s physical appearance. In the case of the former, I’m a little busy opposing the fascist takeover of the country. If it’s the latter, gee, don’t work too hard. I’d hate for you to lose focus on what a “monster” Biden is. in connection with that, I note Rall’s latest tweet posted on this page. I certainly hope that he doesn’t think a question that stupid is a profound comment. The threat of fascism is real.

Mr. Rall, here’s the thing about Trump. Some Americans might buy the rich businessman crap, they probably think most of what they see on TV reflects reality. You can’t do much about those people.

I grew up in NYC at the time of Trump’s rise to fame. Most New Yorkers think Trump is a rich scumbag or a scumbag conman. We aren’t fooled.

Its ok to wish for a dream, but not if making that wish keeps you from taking actions that will prevent a nightmare.

Finally, a Rall political cartoon I can support.

Must be his Wharton Business school training.

One (small) step up from the last cartoon.

And on that subject since I got to that late…

Hey, “dead Joe” no gaffs. That’s pretty funny. On the other hand, really funny and dead serious:

Isn’t that how land speculation in Northern Mexico resulted it Texas?
