Jeff the killer lookin ass

At this point, I’m more upset at whoever is in his orbit and is not at least attempting to take Grampa’s car keys away

I’m not trying to disincentivize that, I’m being honest about it in a forum where it’s highly unlikely they’re gonna read it. How many regretful Trump voters who voted that way because they don’t pay attention do you think hang out in politics threads on lemmy? I’m not gonna turn any away if I run into one in real life but if I’m being sincere, I’m also never gonna be able to fully trust them.

The reality is, most people don’t make educated decisions at the polls. It’s knee jerk reaction to the economy

Yes, and that’s childish and fucking moronic. Do better. I’m admittedly one to over-prepare in general, but I genuinely cannot comprehend why anyone would CHOOSE to not know anything about what they’re voting for. “Oh, I don’t like following politics”. Well, tough shit dumbass; I don’t like feeling like I’m stuck in the geopolitical equivalent of a high school group project with the asshole jock who can’t be arsed to do his portion of the fucking presentation but here we fucking are.

The situation is dire enough that no, I’m not saying we should turn these folks away. We need all the help we can get. But I’ll be lying to them when I tell them I forgive them. I don’t think I ever truly will.

I do suspect there’s a pretty decent sized chunk who bought into that “Republicans are good for the economy” line of bullshit DECADES ago and have just spent the intervening time hell bent on not giving anything political even the tiniest iota of thought. These people still fucking suck, as that basically involves waking up every day and choosing to be a completely uninformed moron rather than spend 5 fucking seconds thinking about something they find uninteresting. So some are hateful bigots and some are just so fucking stupid it’s a minor miracle they’ve survived this long without someone to follow them around covering the outlets and safety pinning mittens to their sleeves. Fuck em both.

I remember lying about my age and signing actual ink and paper petitions opposing that when I was barely into my teens. Felt then and honestly still feels now that a lot of this country just jumped squarely up its own ass after 9/11 and simply never came back out again.

Trump and depends

Particularly given that I suspect for a decent chunk of that 14%, “action” means something more along the lines of “whinge on Facebook until I get uninvited to Thanksgiving”.

Honestly in a use case like family photos, redoing it every x amount of time is probably a good idea anyway so new ones can be added.

Will buffalo wings be next?

Tbf, I could ENTIRELY see a circumstance where Trump “fires” him anyway, Vance doesn’t step down, Trump ignores this and proceeds to pick a new VP even though he technically can’t, and both Vance and new guy spend the remainder of the election desperately trying to get orange senpai to notice them.

“You called about our first available room?” “No, I said your WORST available room”

Plot twist, that’s who Trump was actually trying to get but there was a misunderstanding when he asked for “that guy with the fucking cushions”.

CT actually does the annual increase based on inflation thing. It’s at $15.60-something currently I believe. It can be done.

Ladies and gentlemen, former reality TV star and convicted felon Donald Trump

Not as far as “dumb” per se but I would accept “less smart” in exchange for physical buttons and a removable battery.

Having had an unfortunate amount of personal experience with a diagnosed narcissist, can confirm that that is a highly effective strategy. You can’t ‘logic’ someone who’s operating in a completely different reality and justified outrage just results in them playing the victim. Laughing at them makes them completely fucking short circuit. Hell, look at how disproportionate Trump’s response was to SNL satirizing him.

“Don’t you think he looks…tired?”
