I'd feel a little better in my private jet. Can I have one too?

Indefensible as in it is a decision Trump cannot defend, or as in no one can do anything about it? Seems to be both.

Executive branch power has been bolstered for decades. Unfortunately, this is the first time a narcissist with a complete lack of empathy is in a position to use it. Even if you support Trump, what happens when one of the other side takes that seat?

It's the second time. Happened already in 2016. People liked it and voted for more of it. Enjoy the private jets, I guess?

One of many gifts given from billionaires, to billionaires, paid for by you! Thank you for your generosity. I’m sure they deserve it.

I know you're joking but we do have Medicare

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago

Oh boy, but in a year and a half (in a new Congress, assuming elections, that are fair, and actually occur) we’re sure gonna show ‘em and fix this, right?

You betcha! I mean one of two things has got to happen. Either all that wealth will finally get down to the rest of us, or the “progressive” party will actually be…. progressive… -ish.

America had it's last election.

Guillotine futures up. 📈

Awesome! I guess I should look into buying a private jet now!

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Setup a private jet purchasing co-op?

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

I’m in. We need a pilot. Maybe Nathan Fielder.

That's just an airline with sensible leadership at that point

MAGA is so gullable...

They will easily go down in history as the biggest idiots in America.
