Ahem, ONE dipshit billionaire. One poser.

[–] danc4498 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Lots of dipshit billionaires are at work here

One billionaire, two posers.

"We ShOulDnT sEnD OnE MoRe ReD CeNt To FoRiEgN CoUnTrIeS uNtIl tHe DaMaGe FrOm HuRrIcAnE HeLeNe Is FuLlY RePaIrEd."

Posted on Facebook by a relative who: A.) Has exactly zero understanding of how the federal government functions. B.) Would gladly tell the people whose homes were destroyed by flooding to go fuck themselves if it meant showering Israel with financial support for their "special military operation". C.) Is painfully oblivious to irony.

The FEMA “bankrupted itself to give ‘illegals’ money while denying citizens’ valid requests” bullshit is penetrating. It’s obviously bullshit, but it needs to be countered.

And Trump did it in 2019 lmao

He actually diverted the money

My aunt somehow managed to wedge Kamala and North Carolina into a conversation about my grandmother.

She said, it's not doing anything and I wanted to tell her, as the vp, the vice president shouldn't be doing anything other than directing other people to do things.

But you can't argue with crazy, you can't feed the trolls, so I just told her I don't pay attention to the news because all anyone wants to do on the news is tell you the most horrible things they can imagine so that you'll keep listening to the news and that got her off that topic to Armageddon or something.

It's probably more complicated, but I wonder how much their opinions would change if they didn't have cable or Facebook. Like a Netflix & Disney sub were the only things on their TV, you'd be hearing about Paul & Prue instead.

Many of them don't and they get their news from Facebook, YouTube and similar sources. Those are the least informed ones.

I guess part of it also comes from wanting to be important.

Like, sure your life may have sucked but if your life ended at the rapture and then branched off into eternal Paradise because you were one of the good ones then it was all worth it right?

That's sort of what I think is going on for people that are over 60 right now. They know that life sucks, they just are hoping for a way out because there isn't any solution to the current suckage that the elders are going through.

C'mon, two billionaire dipshits is a little light. Let's not understate the dipshittery. The others are buying the supreme court judges for Jesus or something.

Suggesting Democrats are doing "everything possible" on an issue like healthcare is absolutely wild.

The last time we heard Dems talk about healthcare was when Bernie pressured candidate Biden into "supporting" a public option. Then once elected, with control of congress, Dems didn't even broach the subject.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

True, but to be a little fair to them, the republicans have the power and use it to completely block all objectively good attempts at progress at all. Nothing good can happen in america without a supermajority or a complete change of the system.

[–] BaldManGoomba 17 points 1 month ago

It isn't everything possible.

They did negotiate lower prices on 10 of the most expensive drugs that of a certain age old

[–] BetaBlake 19 points 1 month ago

No you had it right the first time just 1 billionaire and one guy who has never been a billionaire.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

It's not that wild when you consider the Republican strategy "Government doesn't work! Elect me and I'll prove it!" Especially when the government is currently "run" by a Democrat, that's when they really love to make it not work.

If people don't believe the government can help, politicians can eliminate the service without anyone complaining

I just got off of a rotation at a medical shelter in Asheville. Politicians and pundits are playing the blame game. The victims and volunteers are rolling their sleeves up and doing the work. The clown show taking place around them is the furthest thing from their minds right now and they're better for it

[–] yokonzo 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait which dipshits are being HURRICANE deniers?!?

[–] rhadamanth_nemes 7 points 1 month ago

They (Rs) voted to slash FEMA funding like a couple of weeks ago...

Fox news / Onan (what ever that channel is) mostly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Onan Brien or the Arbarian?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

isn't "making others believe their product would be worth a multiple of too expensive by numerous lies" one of the very few reasons why billionaires even exist? and whoever can manipulate you to believe such, could possibly also use these skills to manipulate you to believe someone else would be a demon. maybe thats why that is. 🤷

This far, Vance is only a dipshit millionaire (estimated ~10M).

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks.
