Stock manipulation. The same fucking thing it has been this whole time.

Let's not compare Billionaires with women fighting.

This is billionaires fighting. Notice how pathetic they both are.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 50 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Lol, Trump is only a billionaire because he has the US Treasury. Without that, he's very likely broke.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Trump family has made a billion dollars every month he’s been in office

They are reaping money from the poor.

Do not discount how much wealth they are gaining from being in power, regardless of the treasury. They are sweeping property acquisitions among all their other methods of making money.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 2 points 12 hours ago

My comment was literally saying that the only wealth he has was because he's in power.

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 day ago

He wasn't a billionaire before becoming president, but he certainly is now. The grifting has been blatant and enormous.

Thank you for the link.

The full page, and explanation at the bottom captures the thinking. (I don't expect perfection from humans. I would like us to work on improving.)

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago

I picked up a phrase today, "the grotesquely wealthy." How pathetic the squabbles of the grotesquely wealthy.

I just really want that election interference case to speed up but I read somewhere next court date is in September.

We’re screwed as a country if it takes that long and we come to find out that both cheated and aided Russia to fully infiltrate our government databases.

[–] regdog@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

lol if you think that court cases still matter.

There is no one left in the government that would dare to actually enforce a verdict against Trump.

Hey Bytes, I'm getting reports on the title. I don't think it's take down worthy, but it would be great for the community if you changed the title to something else. Downvote me if you want it to stay as is.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 18 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

It's a quote from AOC. Fair enough. Not everyone is into the political memes of it all.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks Bytes, I forgot about that. We've been getting a lot of trolls testing shit too. I apologize, but it's on that line and I really don't know what I'm doing, lol.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 3 points 12 hours ago

Haha you're too kind of a mod!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

'The girls are fighting, aren't they?' is an AOC quote.

[–] Buske@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

It is all for show.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I can't wait for Trump to deport Elon and Elon release everything he knows about how the 2024 election was stolen.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 9 points 22 hours ago

And nothing would happen.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Plus Epstein.

Edit: what I mean by this is that while his hackers were doing their work, you don't think they managed to get those files while having basically unlimited access?

He’s only refraining for now cuz what he has would jail him for being a part of it. He’s waiting til there’s no hope left but to go to jail.

Which just means things will get a lot worse now that they passed the bill.

[–] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 6 points 22 hours ago

I mean… he could also just take a private jet out of the US and do all his evil mastermind schemes over a Zoom call

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 48 points 1 day ago

And this is why women are too emotional to be president.

How crazy would it be if EM ended up in CECOT or some ICE concentration camp

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Not unlike Stalin's early supporters.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Or almost like a shambolic Sturmabteilung. I was honestly surprised the J6 crowd was pardoned, figured they were no longer necessary and headed straight under the nearest bus.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago

They're still needed for the next jan 6th.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

conveniently occurs right as they passed the BBB, its nothing more than a distraction to the disastourous bill.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 23 hours ago

It's all kayfabe.

Escalate in this case means engaging in the fight and adding fuel to the fire, not appealing to a higher authority.

Like when a cop shows up to a littering call and pulls their gun out.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Haha! I need a vacation...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 32 points 1 day ago (8 children)

WW3 isn't going to be between countries with nukes.

It's going to be between these two and the WW stands for White Weirdos instead of World War.

I'm arguing with myself to make an account on twitter just to call him a pussy.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

If the catpcha was not annoying I would. I'd tell him he chicked out of fighting of zuck too.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Isn't dogedesigner one of Elon's many alt accounts?

[–] einfach_orangensaft@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

so what is the diversion about this time?

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Probably the "Big ~~Beautiful~~ Ugly Bill", which is very unpopular, so they are trying to ram it through the house as quickly as possible.

Ask to speak to his manager, Elon.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No. Grown fucking men who should be doing this in private are fighting.
