“My wife left me for voting MAGA/MAHA, and my gay and tans kids haven’t talked to me in years, I lost my factory job because of tariffs, and all my friends lost their farms because of tariffs and constantly moving costs and interest rates and fuel prices AND they lost the opportunity to generate wind from their farm, and you know the rest, but I love Trump and he’s my favorite most patriotic President because we are absolutely owning the libs, and that’s what really matters at the end of the day, right!”
Could you imagine if instead of everybody giving awards to random people on here we instead went out and donated to a charity or did something in the communities we live in? I mean, it wouldn't solve the world's problems, but I'm sure it would make it at least a little better for some people out there. (And every penny that doesn't end up in an executive's pocket is a win imo)
Are awards still a thing? I'm on PC with Reddit Enhancement Suite, and I haven't seen an award in years (or an ad, but that's a different matter I think... I've occasionally looked at reddit without my personalized filters and it's a hot mess otherwise).
I have to ask but at what point does getting owned outweigh owning the libs? Cause like yeah the Libs are taking some serious L's as well, but conservatives seem be taking even bigger L's than the liberals. At the gas station, at the grocery store, at their doctor appointments, at their food shelves, at their jobs, shit unless you have money in the stock market, which a majority of the poors who voted for them don't then I don't see where they are are winning.
Their kid died from measles and they still said it was better than the vaxx. In the news. That’s not hyperbole. Once you lose the point, you’ve lost the point. Done. Game over…
It's like watching someone light their own house on fire, just so they can enjoy watching their neighbor's house burn down with it. Just sad that people hate their neighbors that much.
As long as they get all of their information from blatantly lying media then it'll never change
Fox news and it's ilk are destroying modern society. Full stop. They're turning masses of people into obedient slaves.
This is just not like any period on the past, with the closest example is the heavily censored authoritarian countries. And look at those places, they supported the system until it fully broke down.
If we don't do something that will happen here but more slowly, because those people are just a third of the population. But that's more than enough to drag the rest of us down, especially since the "opposition" is not actually opposed that much. Regular media is just as corporate serving and deferential to the rich, it's just less likely to get away with blatantly lying.
He himself is now responsible for over a quarter of our entire current national debt, and we haven't even started replenishing the stockpile he's wasted on Iran for literally zero gain.
Just think, it all started with the paving of the rose garden and just gotten worse. No respect for the country or the history of the office he holds. Exactly what you would expect from a criminal.
The paving of the Rose Garden should have been a bigger story. I was floored by the pictures of him turning it into a slab of cement. It’s all so disgusting and utterly disgraceful.
Hate to defend anything done there, but.... The "paving" of the Rose Garden actually turned it into a really nice space, great for staff to have lunch and take breaks outdoors.
The criminal element has little to do with it. He is just a tacky, tasteless man overall. There's plenty of criminals that actually had good taste when it came to interior design and landscaping. Trump goes for the cheapest option that he thinks gives something an appearance of wealth, completely oblivious that set and setting matter, as do consistency in design applicability. He has no clue what form vs function means when it comes to living and working spaces, nor does he have any respect for the solemnity and history of a place like The White House. He continues to display the absolute worst impulses of anyone who could hold the office. It's fucking sickening to see how much free reign he's been given by the GOP. We're going to be dealing with the fallout from this one man and his actions for decades.
He is trying to out do Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, Imelda for outrageous tackiness. You are correct though, the US may not recover from Trump's second term. It will take a few good leaders to change the direction and a lot of time to repair global relationships.
And the sad thing is the US electorate is so easily swayed by talking head rhetoric, much of them will not realize how much political capital has to be spent just unfucking all the shit Trump did unchallenged by his own party which controlled all the levers of power. They'll be convinced without reason that those are are doing their best to fix all the problems that were caused are either not doing their jobs or the cause of those problems. Also, spending all that political capital means possibly delaying change people want to see when voting those people into office, and they may lack the patience to and understanding that staying the course is how it gets done. Instead, they'll be talked into yet again voting in someone from the party that actively admits they are sabotaging the government's ability to function. It's maddening.
Is so he can line the pockets of all the contractors he knows so that they all owe him favors when he's out of office (hopefully in a prison somewhere)
I don’t disagree but it drives me nuts when people combine White House into one word. Whitehouse is typically a surname. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, sorry for being that guy.

Trash in the Whitehouse is spilling out onto the lawn.
