My disappointment isn’t with Trump. Loser has been a very public loser all his life.
My disappointment is with all the dipshits in this country that believed this garbage.
He’s a scorpion and his supporters are frogs.
The Scorpion and the Frog is an animal fable which teaches that vicious people cannot resist hurting others even when it is not in their own interests and therefore should never be trusted. This fable seems to have emerged in Russia in the early 20th century.
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: “I am sorry, but I couldn’t help myself. It’s my character.”
You can be disappointed in both.
Excellent work by Zapiro. Probably South Africa’s best political cartoonist.
It’s chaotic evil, but on the whole I prefer the backpedaling to any of his forward progress. Considering where the road leads.
It’s almost like we were telling you just how disastrous he was going to be. But noooooo you fucking brainlets didn’t think a women could do a good job. Have the day you voted for republicans, enjoy watching the nation collapse
enjoy watching the nation collapse
These dipshits have no clue what’s going on around them at any given time. That’s how they became Trump supporters. They aren’t going to notice the nation collapsing around them. Many of them live in Republican controlled deep red areas that are already akin to 3rd world countries. Not much is going to change for a lot of them. And we know they are Olympic gymnasts when it comes to avoiding accountability, so any signs of collapse that do present themselves to them, they’ll just contort themselves even further out of reality.
What’s the point of saying " I told you so" here?
I think some humans are so ignorant that they don’t know we are collapsing.
Edit: missed a word think
By latest polls, that would be about half of Republicans, about 10% of Dems, about 20% of independents.
So uh… yeah thats roughly 60 million people.
AmURHiCah!
And they won’t know it until they personally suffer (worse than just inflation) tangibly. Probably will somehow be Democrats fault even then
Ye, 'em dems ruining our economy forcing trump to use tariffs.
/s
Gos what’s fucked up is that they almost certainly will use a version of that
I’ve already heard the rationalization: It was the ineptitude of previous administrations that allowed trade with China to get so out of hand, forcing HitlerPig to make the hard decisions that will hurt now, but America will be better off for it in a few years, when full manufacturing has returned to America. Of course, that will mean a crippling Economic Depression until that happens.
People believing that think that the new manufacturing landscape is going to return wonderful, high paying jobs to workers who could barely achieve a high school diploma. They couldn’t be more wrong.
If Sociopathic Oligarchs and Corporations have the chance to rebuild the manufacturing sector, why would they emulate the model that got manufacturing sent to China in the first place? The new factories will be mostly automated, and jobs that rely on humans will be more like Asian sweatshops - non-union, no mnimum wage, no benefits, no health/ safety/ environmental regulations, forced overtime with no overtime pay, teen labor, etc.
In the meantime, they are allowing workers’ imaginations to run wild with fantasies of easy $50 an hour manufacturing jobs, without correcting them about their real intentions.
Which is frustrating because the Democrats were actually using the right mean to walk back on some of the globalism issues by pushing the government to buy local.
President fixed genocide unlike Genocide Joe
I mean that’s my assumption, haven’t read a single piece of news since inauguration day though
Thank you to everyone* who kept Genocide Joe out of office and saved Palestine - infant-saving heroes
* (some percentage of you were Russian language models, wish we knew the scale of that problem, oh well we can assume it’ll be a majority someday)
It’s almost as if the well known lying liar that lies about everything lied to get his way.
Nah, it’s the
childrenmedia that are wrong.I’m sure his supporters have pivoted quickly to saying all these reversals are actually good. Because people in cults do that.
“We have to suffer before things get better.” - MAGAts
Do we though? Do we actually need to suffer before things get better? Is that a scientific fact? A law of nature? Or are they in a cult?
They probably would conveniently adopt a Christian metaphor in this case
But yes, cult.
It’s backpedaling the likes of which has never been seen before.
I thought back pedalling just applied the brakes on some bikes?
Some bikes, I think children’s bikes or a certain type do. Usually the pedals will just spin backwards and make a neat sound, it won’t actually pedal in reverse. Bikes usually have brake levers on the handle bars that control brake pads on the front and back tires; right lever for back tire, left for front, in my experience.
The only bikes I can think of that will actually go backwards from pedaling backwards are toddler bikes like a tricycle or toy bikes. That might be why the image has him sitting backwards, because generally it’d either stop the bike or just spin the pedals doing nothing.
You’ve got to let him finish cooking you don’t know that plan.
Love you, this is the stupidest thing you’ve ever said
Also is that flesh I smell in the oven? …mmmm! Now I see what you mean, not going to criticize before I have a taste
So far there’s a pile of turds on the counter next to a pan for the oven. I have no clue what he’s making but I’m sure what flavor it’s going to be.
So far there’s a pile of turds on the counter
Get out of @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world’s house
Let he with great bowel control cast the first kidney stone
Nah they put the empty pan in the oven like sending empty mail trucks out for ‘efficiency’. They’re playing house.
I read this in John Stewart’s voice when he’s mocking tRump lmao
