Let's not compare Billionaires with women fighting.

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

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 54 points 2 days 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 70 points 2 days 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 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago

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

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.)

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 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 10 points 2 days 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 6 points 1 day ago

Haha you're too kind of a mod!

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

[–] Fourth@mander.xyz 2 points 23 hours ago

I like AOC a lot but she's not my unequivocal blueprint on how to be.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days 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.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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?

And nothing would happen.

[–] Bieren@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

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

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

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not unlike Stalin's early supporters.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days 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 8 points 2 days ago

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 49 points 2 days ago

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

/s

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Mnemnosyne@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, I only see two ways off this train at this point.

1- they fail to rig the next election and get voted out so overwhelmingly that they fail to fight it...

2- military coup. If some number of military officials take their paths to the Constitution seriously and decide to act to defend it.

If not one of those, then hopefully the regime doesn't last long and we collapse like the USSR did.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 32 points 2 days ago (1 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.

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

who's the third white weirdo?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 99 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Captain Couch-Fucker himself, or maybe pooty

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 13 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Why does Elon have Zuko's scar?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Black eye from "his kid punching him after he dared him to".

Likely actually from falling and smacking his face during a K-hole.

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.

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 2 days 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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 2 days 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 2 days ago

It's all kayfabe.

[–] Buske@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

It is all for show.

[–] einfach_orangensaft@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

so what is the diversion about this time?

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 7 points 2 days ago

With plenty of money going to Trump's personal gang of thugs:

ICE’s current annual budget is around $10 billion. Under the version of the bill that passed the Senate, the agency would receive an infusion of more than $100 billion through 2029:

Ask to speak to his manager, Elon.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

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

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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