the giants won by kicking an oblong ball made of pig skin through a large "H". It was a most ripping victory.
Nah. They definitely lost.
“Not now!”, screamed Trump as he greedily shoveled full handfuls of lukewarm fries 🍟 into his weird little mouth, then he proceeded to lean backwards under the ice cream machine with an open mouth and pull the handle with his greasy little hand 🤚
But alas… it was broken 😞
As we all know, of course, a Trump “handful“ is just two or three fries. It’s freaky how tiny his hands are in proportion to the rest of his body.
He’s a weird looking guy.
Literally everything about that guy is extremely weird. As a New Yorker, we’ve been familiar with his asshole since the 80s. He was always horrible, but he has steadily gotten worse over the decades.

It’s the anal leakage, isn’t it.
Imagine if Democrats had increased the national minimum wage and could draw a strong contrast here.
Oh well.
They put forward a bill like every year. Republicans vote against it.
8 democrats voted against it last time they had a majority.
Who the fuck is down voting this? Can somebody better at Lemmy than me say? Edit:or prove him wrong instead of down voting
Blue MAGA. Can't call out Democrats for not delivering. They'd rather blame the voters for not voting for them instead of politicians for not delivering (stuff like the $15 minimum wage, codifying Roe vs Wade when they had a filibuster proof majority, the public option, ...).

Not mine, and I’ve been posting it a lot, but I just can’t get enough of it. This is so very perfect.
I love that one plus this one
This one too
I need to see Epstein as Ronald and Trump as the Hamberdler
Sarah Huckabee would make a fair Grimace
His expression looks like a 17 year old's first day on the job trying to figure out what everything is and does. Except he's a weird and tired 78 (almost 80) year old.
Could add “is this where they come from?”
"I absolutely support paying a minimum wage."
"No, raising the minimum wage."
"What, higher?"
The pictures are making their way to meme generator sites. https://imgflip.com/memegenerator/556562065/Trump-working-at-McDonalds
Because Trump does not care about the needs of the working class. They are a means to an end for him.
