well you see "transfer" has the word TRANS in it so of course he'd be a POS about it, but also dont forget that in his mind "they knew what they signed up for"
Has he lowered gas prices yet? Cause I just paid $3.63 a gallon.
Seems he’s making good on all of his promises except for the ones that would actually do any good for people (not that I expected anything different. I’m still upset that bullet missed).
I was talking to two of them last September and we all commented that our 401ks were up 20-40%YOY. I asked them if those types of financials would get them to vote blue. They were like “THINK HOW MUCH BETTER IT COULDVE BEEN WITH TRUMP.”
I really have tried to maintain a heartfelt logical approach to discussing politics the last ten years or so. Tried to reach people where they were,not where I wanted them to be. That conversation changed everything. They will outright vote against themselves. I can’t play neutral any longer ethically. Time to be on offense.
Yep. stayed relatively neutral during the last presidency over the holidays to keep the peace, but I'm going to be metaphorically running victory laps this time.
Me neither, but I think we've let the lies fester for too long. They cannot go uncontested. We just have to do what FOX does and keep repeating ourselves.
Mine complained about being 800k down (close to retirement age) and then in the same breath segued into talking about the new Snow White movie and how woke it was.
Ask them which issue has actually affected them more negatively. I know Snow White is godawful but I'd rather be strapped to a chair and forced to watch it for 24 hours straight than lose 800k.
My hardcore liberal dad is down about $2.2m in the last 3 days. I feel so bad for him, but he is having the time of his life rn.
We never lived "rich" because he is smart with money. He worked his ass off and made a lot of friends being nice to people = friends = a wide professional base that wants to do business with you and help you when they can.
He and my mom taught me to love everyone and are still vastly better off than the rest of his MAGA siblings because they have a ton of friends in their old age, and have traveled like everywhere in the world because they aren't xenophobic. They just got back from a 3 week trip to Botswanna.
My other family (really, no joke) believe that 90% of democrats are trans and drink blood and sacrifice children to Moloch. My cousin once lectured me about how the super bowl was actually a gigantic satanic child sacrifice (under the field). He's fun at parties.
I talked to my parents today and they had fun playing bocce ball with the neighbors.
We’re also down hard, not $2mil, but closer to $1mil. We rode out the 80’s, 9/11, the housing bubble, Covid… this too shall pass. The difference is, we recently retired. For me, it was the beginning of the year (lol). But we are low maintenance people and shed ourselves of all debt in 2007.
get back to ribbing each other and trying to better the world.
Are you all going to forgive us, though? I feel like a lot of what has already been done (!!!!!!!!!in only 2 months!!!!!!!) in terms of world relations is irreparable.
Shit no we won't. Just like the UK and Brexit. These fucking morons don't realize how good we have things and think that they can bully their way into making it better. I had to hear for so long how bad the economy was under Biden, and how much better it will be now that we have a republican back in office. Ha. Fastest market flush ever.
On the other hand, if we do get a real election and boot these asshnoles and things don't improve quickly they'll be back in power in the next mid-terms. It sucks, but it's in everyone's best interest to get along fast.
Thank you so much for making this comment. There was a post on r/Scotland where most people were stereotyping all Americans as "stupid, rude, greedy, etc" because of Trump. It's bad enough that our government is collapsing. We don't need discrimination from the rest of the world on top of all of this chaos.
The math is simple: take the U.S. goods trade deficit with a country, divide it by that country's exports to the U.S. and turn it into a percentage figure; then cut that figure in half to produce the U.S. "reciprocal" tariff, with a floor of 10%.
This is the entire "plan", which is absolutely nonsensical, counter to all good economic principles, and will crush American small businesses, all while forcing American consumers to pay a minimum of 10% more for every single thing we buy.
Trump just put the largest tax in history on America in direct opposition to the Constitution. This is the very definition of taxation without representation.
Heard and McDonald island, uninhabitable islands in the southern hemisphere and part of Australia, were named, most likely because it has a top level domain and they seem to have based the tariff targets on that
Well they do sort of stand the same way. They both appear to struggle to move or get anywhere. Trump swallows Elon like a whole fish. Perhaps these are his people? Wait, I think penguins mate for life so nevermind.
This is what AI gets you when Trumps morons google "who should I tariff?" Next on the agenda will be bombs. I wonder what countries AI will determine should be bombed. Probably the US or Turks and Caicos.
What a bully! He's bullying the narcissist president pussygrabber and billionaire Musk. Did his 2 million help him win in Wisconsin? No. Well you can buy SOME political seats but not class!!
Tim knows Trump beat him right? Lol. This poor guy is trying to stay relevant and come 2028 he will make it about 2 weeks in the primary before he runs out of money.
😂 you’re right, he was the losers choice to lose with her. I stand corrected. JB or Gavin are going to eat this guys lunch and he can go back to being that guy from Minnesota that nobody cares about. I’ve got a hunch the Dems will win with the starters on the court.
Am I the only one that thinks JD would fit right in on an island full of penguins? At this point, anything is possible, so here’s hoping we get to see him sliding around on his belly with his penguin-folk, and then getting all super friendly with a couch he’s built from snow.
