    The phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” was coined to mock the sort asanine bullshit that grifters spouted, and eventually those same grifters started to use it unironically and without any self-awareness.

    Interesting to see “trust me bro” get the same treatment.

      Are the Trump supporters in the room with us now? Is the entire UN assembly grifters. Liberals are so disgusting, children are being slaughtered an masse by my tax dollars but all you care about is how Trump will make you personally uncomfortable

        No, I care that Trump will make more of my tax dollars go into the children slaughtering enterprise.

        You’re the one arguing about not doing something because it makes you uncomfortable, not anyone else here.
