...and yet another splice, of a splice, of a splice....

this administration is generating content, i'll give you that. 

it's quite bold to take this kind of risk for an entire country, and world market?

Pretty sure Trump hasn't even read The Art of the Deal.

Your reminder that as long as people suffer, they don’t mind suffering too.

It's a possibility. It has been confirmed to have been written by a ghostwriter.

They really killed it this week. Only letdown is no penguins, but I guess I've already seen enough penguin memes this week to last a lifetime.

I was reading a thread on Reddit that was like “yeah they definitely used ChatGPT to do this” 

Also ngl did immediately thought of the fast food chain when they said “McDonald Island” too 😆

[discolé monade]

and i've never heard of the disrespectufl little boy that walked off last week. 

i mean...i think i recall this schmuck and the n'word that about got him cancelled, but the klansfolk bought his ate his music up afterwards.

we are not going to get anything done with people woefully ignorant to the problem that is this administration.

Not that it matters.  I spent the majority of 18 years trying to get people working their first job to give a damn about it - with varying results.  These days, it's a surprise to find a counter straightened and faced.

Trump has done it.  He has unified a nation.
Not us, though.

As much as I love to shit on American cars, it's also because Japanese and European cars are smaller in their respective markets. American car companies don't bother making kei style cars suitable for towns built before the invention of the automobile. Gas isn't subsidized to the extent in other countries that it is in the US, so ain't nobody buying gas fuzzling F150s for the hell of it.

So this. I see those 'little' cars and just want the streets to be filled with those instead of the giant ass-haulers roaring around.

Warren Buffett has lost significantly less money than other billionaires after the liberation day tariffs were imposed. Before the tariffs, he had increased his stakes in several Japanese companies that were once zaibatsu, old school powerful clans, the most well-known being Mitsubishi.

He also liquidated much of his assets to prepare for this retarded tariff moment. This man is the financial genius, not fucking Trump.

Breaks for the rich. That’s what this is all about. It’s time to start considering burning shit down to the ground.  Trump is doubling down on his tariffs saying “it’s a beautiful thing to behold”

And the people basically support Trump still. Biden they wanted to hang for being a brain dead president.  everything is collapsing but we’re all just too stupid to understand Trump’s vision or something 🙄

these are comments on an article about the continuing tumbling of markets

Another 50 percent tariffs on China

I hope rednecks enjoy the sticker shock at Wally Mart. RIP dollar stores too.

I need a new phone and it’s gonna cost me $300 more because of these tariffs unless I make time I don’t have to get a phone already in stock 🫠

we’re still the 1st world, right? 😬

The head of JP Morgan again wins the “Too late now asshole!” award for speaking out against the tariffs with other banks following.
