Political Memes

It all sounds well and good but I have a hard time swallowing any Billionaire advocating for ethics.

God I hate the circle jerking of Cuban. There is no “good one.” His PR team is working OT to paint this completely BS image. Fuck him.

See, I, like millions upon tens of millions of others, were not fooled for even one nanosecond by that Orange Fuck's obvious horseshit so, you're kind of undercutting your own credibility there, champ.

The only way to become a billionaire is to solely work in your own best interest, and steal the value produced by the labour of your employees.

Fuck off, cuban. youre one of them

Bro is just now getting around to critical thinking? MANY people were of this mindset 8 years ago...

I could vaguely understand the allure of Trump the first time around (outside of the racist anti-immigrant stuff). There was actually something slightly refreshing in the first Primary debate he had against other Republicans that year (~2016), when he was still just a joke. He was saying things that politicians in general don't normally say, he wasn't following "the script". It only took him opening his mouth and his stupid policies after that though for that feeling to turn to disgust, but for a brief shining moment it seemed like he might've been a semi-positive influence that could've shaken up US politics for the better. Instead, he's just shown himself to be the absolute worst person possible for the position.

All of the conservatives who are coming out against Trump now are just bad liars. Everyone knew, at least for the last decade, how bad of a human being the man was and is.

I understand that sometimes you have to make tactical alliances for politics, but to come along later and say that you don't know a certified scumbag is in fact a scumbag, that's just unbelievable. I would prefer if they come up with a plausible lie. For example, they could say that they knew he was bad personally but they thought his policies were constructive, or they believed that he would try to clean up the swamp, or they thought Hillary was going to be a disaster so they needed to oppose her by any means necessary, or anything that might have a grain of truth to it. Those things might also be lies, but at least give us something. Show some decency.

Yeah so here is a question...

We knew all that BEFORE he was elected the first time, yet you -aparently- voted for him anyway. You knew he was dumb, that was obvious. You knew he was a self centered serial liar, that was pretty much his call sign. You knew he was a disaster of a human being, that he was petty, unstable, narcissistic and a sociopath. Yet you voted for him.

Why?

It's so past time for a wealth tax.

Friends with Mike Pence? That guy is a corpse's idea of a human.

we should stop giving a shit what billionaires say. if they have anything important to say they should save it for the inevitable guillotines as their last defense.

This is literally not a meme

Mark Cuban has definitely made a life of getting his end over others (through his long career in business). Like any billionaire he made his riches off the backs of others. The Yahoo deal is Mark receiving the fruit of the labour of the workers at Yahoo, with Yahoo management squandering it to him and his crew for cheap.

I still can say Cuban is a bit different than the bunch of billionaires who inherited generational wealth or political power and above-average opportunity (Trump, Musk, Gates, Jobs, etc.). He might have the capability of understanding what it's like to be a lower to middle class person even if he is insulated from it now.

Like him or not, even the worst person you know can make a thoughful quip once in a blue moon.

You want somebody that has hired

In other words - a capitalist

You want somebody who's first inclination is not to do what's in their own best personal interest.

In other words - not a capitalist.

Can't have both, and we know which one we have.

Would you hire somebody that has a long history of stealing from people - of being unethical?

So - a capitalist, just like you (Cuban).

This is the kind of bullshit billionaires say to try and legitimise their existence to us, but mostly to themselves. He really believes he is an ultra ethical person who looks out for the interests of others before his own, because he works hard at telling himself he is. Harder than at most things I would wager.

Aren't all billionaires conservative? I don't think about them for my own sanity's sake, but I cannot imagine a progressive billionaire.

Doesn’t matter what a scumbag the president is as long as he doesn’t steal money from this guy or his friends and keeps making them money.

That’s pretty much what he seems concerned with. “Dude stole money from my friend, presidents are supposed to be smart and make us money with a good economy, I don’t want a president that isn’t using money how I think they should.”

This snippet just makes this look like another billionaire protecting his money whith no other concern.

Is this the dumberest fuck ever?

I wish conservatives billionaires would say less. I don't care if they're anti-Trump. Being anti Trump is below the bare minimum. Stopped clock behavior
