Let's not compare Billionaires with women fighting.

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

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 48 points 1 day 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 62 points 1 day 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.

He wasn't a billionaire before becoming president, but he certainly is now. The grifting has been blatant and enormous.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day 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 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not unlike Stalin's early supporters.

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.

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 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 6 points 1 day 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 4 points 18 hours 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 day ago (1 children)

who's the third white weirdo?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 99 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

collapsed inline media

Captain Couch-Fucker himself, or maybe pooty

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Why does Elon have Zuko's scar?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day 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.

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 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 day 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 day ago

Ask to speak to his manager, Elon.

[–] Bieren@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Stock manipulation. The same fucking thing it has been this whole time.

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

It's all kayfabe.

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just really want that election interference case to speed up but I read somewhere next court date is in September.

We’re screwed as a country if it takes that long and we come to find out that both cheated and aided Russia to fully infiltrate our government databases.

[–] regdog@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

lol if you think that court cases still matter.

There is no one left in the government that would dare to actually enforce a verdict against Trump.

[–] Sillyglow@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 6 points 1 day 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

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

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

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

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Grown fucking men who should be in prison being waterboarded until they give up everyone involved in this treason are fighting ******

[–] Buske@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

It is all for show.

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm arguing with myself to make an account on twitter just to call him a pussy.
