yeah but Martha is actually likeable.
Ehhhh
you get no cake.
It’s a good thing.
Truth.
Didn’t Arnold also host The Apprentice?
Foreshadowing
Martha Stewart was railroaded. Members of Congress - and some of the worst are members of my own party - regularly do worse.
Oh, but, yeah, sincerely: the meme is clever and funny.
members of my own party
Are you a politician?
You can be a member of a party without being a politician. As far as I understand it (I could be wrong, not American), the process for signing up in the US is a state-by-state thing, not at the federal level.
No, but I’m a registered Democrat. I’ve lived in several states, and not all of them allow you to vote in their primaries of you’re not a registered member. So the Democrat party is my party.
Now, if we ever get rid of the electoral college, and replace FPtP with approval out ranked-choice voting (or, almost literally anything else besides FPtP), that’ll change. But for now, I accept the reality that we vote for the lesser of two evils, or we throw away our vote in a futile, and unnoticed, gesture.
Martha should of run for congress or senate then her insider trading would be allowed and she would not of had any trouble.
would not of had
I understand where this misspelling comes from, but I find it difficult to parse.
and that’s pretty much where the similarities end.
they both like to stir things up while surrounded by pots and pans.
It wasn’t a TV show, it was crime school.
I’d take Martha baking over Trumps any day!
and i wouldn’t want to see diaper don on the cover of sports illustrated swimsuit edition.
And I’d be more likely to vote for the one who actually went to prison somehow.
Probably because her crime was one that we could all kind of see ourselves doing.
Plus, as far as I remember, she didn’t bitch about it or try to blame everyone else.
FYI: don’t lie to the IRS about cheating on your taxes. Rich people have tons of ways to avoid contributing to society. But if you lie to the IRS about it and they find out, you’re fucked.
Probably because her crime was one that we could all kind of see ourselves doing.
She was convicted on insider trading because she got insider information from the CEO ahead of an FDA ruling. This is some rich people bullshit so I’d contend most of us will never be in that position. She was also on the board of directors for the New York Stock Exchange so…
most of us will never be in that position
But if you were…
I’d pay my fucking taxes and not screw over typical investors with insider trading. We’re not all scumbags.
For Americans, it seems like the easiest way to do insider trading is to first get elected to Congress. Then you can do as much insider trading as you want!
It’s just called legislating.
And it’s a crime post politicians are already committing.
Also probably since she isn’t a rapist making aggressively bigoted remarks every single day. Or a bunch of other things…
Yeah overall in general Martha isn’t a massive piece of shit failure of a human being but that other fuckstick is.
And boy, can she make an apple strudel
It’s a good thing.
I am only voting for her if there is pie
Free hat!
I feel like Martha Stewart could probably get elected president if she put her mind to it. Imagine the headlines, “President Stewart bakes delicious cookies for peace summit, all attending countries agree to sign legislation banning proliferation of WMDs”.
One of these felons is electable, as she has only sure what a bunch of congress has. She’ll fit right in!
You meant to type “done” but autocorrect chose “sure,” right?
You’re correct, so sorry! One word change and that became I-Had-A-Stroke material.
That was a tough read.
