I literally laughed out loud!
Currupt. The word you're looking for is curruption not STUPID. All of this is very much 1000% intentional and I wish we would stop framing these thieves as idiots. They are robbing the US treasury boldly in front of our eyes and framing it as "oops we are so dumb and incompetent" but they absolutely are not. Every single bit of this is planned and meticulously thought out with the goal of stealing from you, me, and our future.
Yes yes yes! They are not stupid, they are malicious. Act accordingly.
And they probably marvel everyday at the fact that some people enthusiastically support their theft.
There's no corruption in a corrupt system that was literally concocted by enslavers to violently enforce their disgusting privilege. This is just how the system has always worked.

people voted for this fucking muppet, thinking he was going to do something to improve things
the great american experiment is a failure. nice not knowing you all
I remember someone on reddit said after he won, "now just sit back, relax, and your wallet will thank you" all smugly, like the economy was going to make us all rich.
I hope that fuck is struggling with his car payments and can't afford gas.
My ex best friend ate the whole thing hook line and sinker by both trump and musk, now he trying to make an AI startup after quitting his well paying IT job. He isn't even American
Now that's what I call a 'self-own' 👀

The fash version of improving things is attacking minorities, defunding necessary services, invading and robbing other countries, ending democracy, etc.
From that perspective things have improved!
thinking he was going to do something to improve things
A very common mistake was in failing to understand the causes & benefits of FDR-style democracy, and the ~four decade age of prosperity that grew out of it. That and thinking that democracy was a birthright.
Such American voters were always going to be ripe for the grift.
The US Bought Iranian Oil from Russia
Let's say it again:
📣 The diesel that Trump bought from Russia is diesel that Russia bought from Iran. $6.4B of US taxpayer money to fund two enemies killing our guys.
To anyone who still supports this guy: Come on... He's screwing you, stabbing friends in the back, stealing as much as he can for himself. Are you done yet?

Empire would rather steal the oil directly. But that hasn't been working for a few decades. That's part of why they attacked Iran, murdered those school girls, etc.
This is what you get when you elect a literal traitor as president
All Republicans are traitors at this point. You lend your power to someone who in turn lends it to a traitor, therefore you're a traitor. The last ten years have shown that Socrates was right, the average person is too dumb to vote for their own self interest and will elect demagogues.
Trump is 100% loyal to this system.
He’s not loyal, he’s profiting.
I think this implies too much that these people somehow care for their respective nation states when all they do is shovel money into their friends bank accounts while bleeding social welfare dry.
It's only stupid if you're stupid enough to think that these people give a fuck about the planet or human life.
But the real slap in the face to the US is Canada's unfair trade practices in Christmas trees and maple syrup!
This is definitely something Americans have been really worried about for a long time. It's not that it's a cult or anything that adopts ridiculous ideas according to the whims of its leader.
Since Helsinki 2018, I am no longer surprised by the MAGA fucknuts and their stupid decisions. The Muscovites have Krasnov by his balls. "I know, I know," he does not have any, but what else could I type to describe the f'ed up situation.
Got him by his mushroom?
The only thing that would make this meme better is if Trump was doing his double handy circle jerk dance jerking those other jackasses off.
While he naps and shits in his nappies on live TV
Big brain high IQ efficiency at its finest.
Shart of the deal!
it's smart for business (if that business is manufacturing weapons of war).
just another grift to throw in the griftfire.
Yeah, it makes perfect sense when framed as a war between the ultra-wealthy and everyone else rather nation against nation.
"Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia."
Russia and Russia's hired POTUS are funding a war on the US
If you're anti-US Trump is like the best person for the job
Should one of the main aim of the war to feed weapons makers with public money (and avoid to let public money available for social welfare) it would be totally logical to prevent the war ends too fast.
I'm not super knowledgeable in the field but maybe Trump wants to bring the gas prices down for the upcoming election, without caring about how.
Also a prolonged war means defence contractors, who have always been US friends get more business as a result.
The tiny amount of diesel he bought will not have a measurable impact. If that was his plan he's either stupid or stupid and desperate.
That tracks.
I wonder if Trump (and all Republicans) went to Putin, begging for help for the election and Putin said, "sure but you need to cripple Ukraine further. Throttle interceptors."
Then Trump/Republicans (we should never separate the two) really blew his gasket when Zelenskyy hit the botfarms who were working overtime for Trump.
For once, we kind of got a pleasant October Surprise.
Insanity…
and it's far from the first time...
