Is it strange to say I think Mike is the highest threat in this picture? I think he stands to do the most damage wielding a republican trifecta.

Sure trmpf is president and all but, he isn't as smart as Mike.

Don, Jr.: My dad put these fries in the box himself! hurr durr

[–] [email protected] 56 points 20 hours ago (9 children)

This is so weird. Why is the dude displaying his fries like he's proud of them?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You gotta emphasize how normal and approachable you are. A true one of the people

This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸'Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 18 hours ago

The first time I flew out of the US after Trump became president I was so embarrassed of being American because of all the questions about his crazy ass. When I landed back in the US and saw his portrait on the wall in the airport, I stared at it perplexingly trying to understand what the fuck his stupid face was doing there….then it hit me that it’s there cause he was the president. Trump is a laughing stock and him at the helm of the US makes all Americans laughing stock for allowing this country to elect an orange makeup-caked, lying, shyster.

So glad we get to do it again!!

Nahhh... we're pretty fucking disappointed... Least everyone I know with half a brain.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (14 children)

I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren't Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.

Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you're living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.

It's so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would've never seen all this coming...

Unfortunately, all this is pretty much a backlash to that event.

Musk is buying whether or not he knows it

[–] [email protected] 96 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (4 children)

Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin' scary, speaking as a foreigner.

Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.

The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD's and KFC for 4 years.

The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world,

And that's why they are not going to eat any fast food, they are making ads

Wait. Why would you think that? It’s a mildly prestigious post. Sure, it’s honorable, but it’s certainly not something that anybody with any type of creative flair would ever aspire to. It’s a labor of 24/8 type love.

I hope so. Less cost to the taxpayer, and the high calorie and sodium count will send Trump to an early grave.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

The taxpayer doesn't pay for his meals, actually. Came as a surprise to the Obamas they said once.

Didn't look to hard for the Obama quote, but Nancy Reagan's reaction is in that one.

Strap the fuck in, American people of the Fediverse. This table of lunatics is about to make your lives much harder and more dangerous.

[–] [email protected] 93 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Hate to say it, but the US isn’t the only country that is fucked. The impact is going to be felt worldwide and in a harsh way.

We’ll see how long places like Ukraine and Taiwan will last.

Ugh, the more I think about it the more I realize how bad it’s going to be.

Last before what?

I wanted to buy a Cybertruck (don't judge me, my kid loves it). We also love McDonald's.

I no longer want anything Tesla or even want to eat at McDonald's anymore.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 19 hours ago (8 children)

Why would you want to buy a vehicle just because your kid likes it?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

My life revolves around my kid. So ya. If it makes him happy to be in a car he loves and it fits the families needs, then why wouldn't I?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (3 children)

...because you're an adult who sees the bigger picture and don't have the lens of an 8 year old, but the focus of a man who's lived a few odd but hopefully even years?

Not a single sauce opened, no bites taken, nothing removed from an annoying tray lip and placed on the table like a real person. No sign whatsoever that they are actually eating this junk. The half eaten fries are staged as eating without the ketchup that is right there on the tray is quite unlikely.

This is a staged ad. It is meant to be a message to others in corporate America, and for marketing to convenient idiots to quote the Russian term.
