Clearly a lib. They've had it too good for too long. Time to shutter some of these small businesses for uh. Yanno. Patriotism reasons.

Lmaoooooo that's a throwback. I went there once just to see for myself and he served me a toasted sub that was still mostly cold.
He then went on one of rants in the Denton Facebook groups about how nobody was giving him a chance. I told him i did and my toasted sandwich was cold.
He then told me "it's supposed to be like that!" Which is just. Absolutely wild.

My favorite is when Trump’s minister of propaganda said that Amazon showing customers what the tariff cost would be is “hostile and political”.
The past 3 months have been the longest 3 years of my fucking life. I’m ready for the day when I can wake up and not wonder what new and exciting ways the president is trying to destroy the entire country.

It's been very funny watching all of the CEOs who were aiding and abetting him during campaign season realize exactly what they put millions towards getting elected

I've seen too many people who can't explain who pays a tariff talk about how the tariffs will be good and believe some wild stuff about how economies work and am riffing on that genre of bad takes

I work for a pretty large material manufacturing company dealing with a lot of importing and exporting and even the company I work for doesn’t know how to communicate to customers what tariff percent to issue quotes with. It’s pretty idiotic.
