Exactly. Speaking as the rare example of a middle aged white man with the quads to pull off short gym/running shorts and swimsuits, I'm happy to see them come back.

Where you been hidin brosef, they have been back for years.

It's also more projection. They accuse Biden of planting mines and fudging numbers. Trump and Elon are in the middle of doing that right now. Trump is straight deleting evidence of his guilt in Jan. 6th and any of the other lawsuits he can get his hands on through the DOJ. They stopped tracking bird flu numbers, just like they had stopped tracking Covid back in the day. They will hold back data, fudge it, lie about it, omit it.. all kinds of things just to make the "data" fit their narrative. He's an old-school scam artist and fraudster, using the same tired tricks and thinking nobody will catch on if he just repeats the lie enough... and it's working for much of his base.

But can you lie away economic consequences?  Will the market believe the lies?  There is no doubt that propaganda works, and with so many willing to repeat the lies as truth the lies certainly have the upper hand.  But can lies mask economic reality?  Can simply not reporting, counting or trying to effectively manage bird flu for example mean that "We are doing a fantasitic job" White house alternative reality?  Or will the fact Eggs are 50% more in a month, rule as fact?

It's just like abortion.  Does anyone expect any honest numbers regarding infant mortality from the State of Texas for example?  Lying works.  And It's not really lying if it if you simply don't allow the truth to be known... And Republicans honestly view this as how government should work.

“Partner”?  Shouldn’t that non-married in Jesus‘s Holy Church whore support the Democrats?    

And I have never seen a bigger DEI scam than all of those women in nursing keeping jobs from the male nurses (who are probably better at it.)

I think Elon should look into the over-representation of women in the federal nursing workforce.

This next hurricane season, the only question is how many red states are gonna be fucked by non-existent FEMA Resources.  Trump is already whining that states should take care of their own natural disasters.  

This should work well, as all of those red states are such economic engines, providing so much income to the United States.

Oh…he’ll just take money from one place and send it to the red states as a direct cash transfer. That’s how dictators buy favor.

Yea and back then home prices were only around 3.5-4x of median income, now they are 7x.  

Well…then let’s get ready for crashing the value of housing, the primary store of value/equity for many Americans.

They are already fucking with the past hurricane season:

Trump administration denies Kemp’s bid to extend Hurricane Helene aid deadline 

 

Quote

President Donald Trump’s administration has denied Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s request to give local governments more time to apply for federal disaster assistance after Hurricane Helene.

Hurricane Helene, which struck the Southeast last September, was one of the most destructive and deadly tropical storms in U.S. history, responsible for at least 219 deaths and almost $80 billion in damages. The storm caused an estimated $5.5 billion in damage to Georgia’s agriculture and forestry sectors alone, according to estimates from the University of Georgia.

I have no idea about any of the machinations of FEMA, past storms, time limits, etc.  But this is pretty simple:  Kemp didn't sufficiently bend the knee after the 2020 election, so Trump is going to fuck over the state of Georgia.

The people who voted for him while saying "Oh he won't do those terrible things he's promising to do" are now surprised that the person we knew to be terrible is indeed doing the terrible things he promised.

But he’s also a liar so it does make some sense.  Or, from their perspective, he just says things and/or it’s a negotiating tactic.

Why the fuck are people blacking out the names? 

I imagine a lot of these screenshots are being copied directly from one of a few subreddits. I believe, but not certain, that I've seen at least one of them explicitly state blocking out names is a requirement to be posted in order to prevent anyone from getting doxxed. It makes sense if you want to ensure no one gets hunted down (with the risk of mistaken identity occurring) and harrassed/hurt.

Trump’s near-constant lying really broke (stupid) people’s brains. It allows them to justify a cafeteria MAGA interpretation, latching on to the promises they like and dismissing the others as “Trump being Trump” (that is, not telling the truth).

It never occurred to them that such a comprehensive history of dishonesty makes someone fundamentally untrustworthy. They convinced themselves that Trump’s true intentions are entirely aligned with theirs, the same way the religious hoi polloi all believe God is eager to intervene on behalf of their own chosen sports team. 

Our species is fundamentally stupid and self-centered and, thus, easy to deceive. 

"Sure he's a terrible person proposing terrible things, but he's also a liar, a thief, a rapist, and can be made to do literally anything as long as you give him a moment of flattery. He's got my vote."

This should be self evident but everyone is someone’s “other” so maybe think about who you put into office and give power to. 
to the billionaires, everyone that isn’t a billionaire is an other. They don’t need to get granular enough to see race or merit.

Well that is always tricky. Obviously we need to hold the Democrats responsible for what they do wrong and vote out the bad people.

But in doing that you don't want to accidentally encourage people to instead support the far worse Republican Party or one of the several grifting third parties.

One of my friends purchased his first house with a mortgage rate at 15%.

I purchased my first home when rates  had plummeted to 13%.  That is one example of the sort of pain that the late 70s /early 80s saw.  But I think Donald can get us there.  

I will cash out my home again, put it all on VTI again, and keep rolling. That shit works wonders.

No no no! Not MY benefits! 

That person is a selfish piece of shit. Hope they're happy that they vote for their stepfather to suffer. Of course he probably voted for it too.

Fuck 'em.

both sides used to be valid. George Bush and Barrack Obama engaged in either torture (war on terror, black sites, gitmo) or the execution of humans without due process (obama had more drone killings than Bush), congressmen on both sides of the aisle have raked in enormous profits with exemptions from insider trading.

trump has blown both sides out of the water. dems look like freaking innocent school children compared to him.

Mein fuhrer. I love what the party is doing! Can I ask one favor though? Marty Feinstein has been doing my family’s books as long as I can remember. Now I’ve heard there’s a shortage of experienced accountants ever since you found that solution of yours but the idea of going and finding an experienced bookkeeper in the middle of a war just seems very difficult right now…….

"Dear Leader Dotard, I love everything you're doing! Fuck all these people! However, apparently a small part of this impacts me so if you could not do that part, that would be great. Thanks!"

The complete lack of self-awareness from these people is remarkable. Well, I mean it should be I guess.

My mom has a friend whose whole life has been what I’d describe as a struggle. Super sweet lady though. Kids turned out ok / pretty good. One’s a music teacher who’s husband was a pos, but she’s doing alright.

The other is doing well in coaching and education. Married. Husband’s stand up. Had kids…. AND lets her parents live in an in-law suite they built into their house.

Friend who lives with younger kid has been sick her whole life. Recently got a liver transplant in the swapping 2 pt conversions OT. Miracle.

Well, the reason why she lives with her kid is that her husband who seems like a nice guy can’t hold a job. Dude has been in and out of work as long as I was 2 years old. 

Anyhow, this guys got a maintenance gig that provides insurance for their $30k pharmaceutical yearly bill.

i just found out he was fired bc he called his supervisor an idiot during a heated argument before Christmas. And was walked out. He worked at the … checks notes… YMCA?! I mean… wow.

So they’re back to being scared bc she’s about to run out of her 3 month supply of meds she received right before he was shit canned.

i say all this bc im damn near 99% sure they voted for Trump. And I feel like they’re about to have some brutal, brutal realities beyond anything they’re ever faced come their way.

Thoughts and prayers indeed.
