I thought this would be appropriate...

It's a cult. I overheard two Trumpers talking how the tariffs will only hurt for a little bit, but once everything religns, things will be great.

Golfing is expensive these days.

How much for a room at a Trump hotel for the secret service? Asking for a friend.

You didn't think they actually spent ten thousand dollars for a hammer and thirty thousand for a toilet seat, did you?

I mean, look at me. I look like a schlemiel

Did not expect an Armageddon reference.

With far fewer irs agents, they can't effectively audit tax cheats.

We are funding the complete destruction of Palestine.

Golf is expensive.

He's been sued 220 times for the 100 days he has been in office. Lawyers are really expensive. (Well unless you blackmail them.)

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My ex is a lawyer, I know stuff I could blackmail her with, nothing bad just personal stuff that you'd not be happy being public. I wouldn't dare try it, even if I was inclined too.

Blackmail is illegal regardless if what you're after. At the very least I'd lose my job.

You can't really blackmail lawyers unless they are actually corrupt. Never mind, they're his lawyers, of course they are.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Blackmail might be too strong of a word, but he did strongly encourage a law firm to give him free services so their security clearances weren't revoked. It's good to be king, I guess.

Unrelated, is this a newer format on Twitter or are people manually recreating simple Twitter screenshots for some reason?

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It might be mastodon. I don't know though. Maybe it's just a twitter skin

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Nope, that's not Mastodon. Neither account exists there.

Trickle down economics

For the past 50 years they've tried to give the wealthy some money but no matter how much they gave the rich, only a little trickled down to the poor

So they've decided to just turn on the money fire hose and shower the rich with all the money they can get their hands on ... it's a literal avalanche of money and hopefully this will trickle down and get some more money to the poor.

For every million they send to a rich person, ten bucks goes to a street person .... so we need to spend billions, trillions of dollars on these rich people in order to get enough money to people in need.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 66 points 1 day ago

I can actually picture someone making this argument in earnest.

[–] Susurrus@lemm.ee 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you got 10 bucks for every million towards billionaires you'd actually be a millionaire. The ratio was more like a cent for every million.

Trickle down economics

A sound bit to fool the common clay rubes - fools them over, and over, and over. Rinse and repeat.

Every GOP accusation is an admission. Where is the money going? Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.

Private military contract to billionaires like musk

[–] Guns0rWeD13@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (4 children)

i think we should plan the revolution as a hypothetical. lay the blueprints out online for everyone to see. it's as easy as "if i were going to do X, i would begin by X. if a lot of us did X together then..."

revolution by committee with full transparency. when the plan involves millions of people acting in unison, there's not a whole lot you can do about it, even if you know what's coming.

It's not a revolution, but a general strike would force the government to make changes.

Goddamnit, I hate this shit. Its simple, folks. You have to spend money to make money. That's how the saying goes, and that's how the world works. When my car insurance goes up despite my flawless driving record, I don't ask them to explain where the money is going, I just pay my fucking bills. When my rent gets increased despite the house I'm in literally falling apart around me, I don't ask why they don't send repair people, I just pay my goddamned rent. You all act so entitled, like there is some great value that is to be derived from your work. You're a fucking slob just like everyone else, and you are lucky that the companies trust you enough to do business with you in the first place. Hell, I'd pay double just to get a meaty black uncut cock in the ass and I'd be thankful for the privilege. I mean, I'd pay them a lot of money for that. Even if it was just one time. Just once, and I would sing their praises. Just, sing. Fuck you, anyway. Fucking slobs. Stop wasting your time posting about this shit online and get back to work.

Had me in the first half. But judging by the downvotes, half the people don't recognize sarcasm :)
