Let's not compare Billionaires with women fighting.

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

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 53 points 1 year 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 71 points 1 year 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 year ago

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

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 year 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 23 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

Not unlike Stalin's early supporters.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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 9 points 1 year ago

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

I can't wait for Trump to deport Elon and Elon release everything he knows about how the 2024 election was stolen.

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.

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

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

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 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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 7 points 1 year ago

Haha you're too kind of a mod!

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 1 year ago (1 children)

who's the third white weirdo?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 100 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Captain Couch-Fucker himself, or maybe pooty

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why does Elon have Zuko's scar?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year 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.

This is deeply disturbing, yet I can’t tear my eyes away.

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.

so what is the diversion about this time?

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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:

They're distracting themselves from actually doing something useful.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Ask to speak to his manager, Elon.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 11 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

It's all kayfabe.

[–] Sillyglow@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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 7 points 1 year 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

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago
[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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