This is so weird. Why is the dude displaying his fries like he's proud of them?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago

what, are you saying that a douchebag isn't allowed to be proud of his fries? I'm sorry, I thought this was America

This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸'Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.

[–] ME5SENGER_24 16 points 8 hours ago

The first time I flew out of the US after Trump became president I was so embarrassed of being American because of all the questions about his crazy ass. When I landed back in the US and saw his portrait on the wall in the airport, I stared at it perplexingly trying to understand what the fuck his stupid face was doing there….then it hit me that it’s there cause he was the president. Trump is a laughing stock and him at the helm of the US makes all Americans laughing stock for allowing this country to elect an orange makeup-caked, lying, shyster.

So glad we get to do it again!!

Nahhh... we're pretty fucking disappointed... Least everyone I know with half a brain.

[–] WaxiestSteam69 28 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (4 children)

I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren't Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.

Time to start beating your wife, she’s actively asking for it. If she’s your ex make sure to remind her that project 2025 wants to make her existence illegal.

[–] SLVRDRGN 11 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (2 children)

I think it's revealing that apparently as long as gas and eggs are okay, the country falling completely apart is secondary (to the voting majority).

Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you're living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.

It's so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would've never seen all this coming...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

The thing is we had Obama and dem control of the legislature and we still didn’t get universal healthcare, or even basic shit like minimum wage indexed to inflation. It’s no wonder low-information voters think democrats suck at “the economy”.

Unfortunately, all this is pretty much a backlash to that event.

What will they think when those things don't happen? Some conspiracy shit?

[–] WaxiestSteam69 13 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Cognitive dissonance - They'll find some way to blame it on Biden/Harris/Newsom/Pelosi.

Biden will be taking the blame for all the problems over the next couple of years.

It’s those brown people in Iran! We better start another 20 year invasion!

[–] Invertedouroboros 17 points 12 hours ago

Honestly, in my social circle we're all kinda treating it like this... strange, self-inflicted, natural disaster. Like we can't even really joke about it, still. It's like we all know it's gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it's going to be. There's a lot I'm hoping is over-reaction, but honestly that's a pretty shitty thing to hope for and a hard hope to maintain all things considered.

Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin' scary, speaking as a foreigner.

Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

then I remember that trump... what? I'm also "a foreigner" (meaning I don't live in the shithole known as the US), but that's an incomplete sentence

I wanted to buy a Cybertruck (don't judge me, my kid loves it). We also love McDonald's.

I no longer want anything Tesla or even want to eat at McDonald's anymore.

[–] almar_quigley 18 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

Why would you want to buy a vehicle just because your kid likes it?

[–] WhiteOakBayou 6 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

If he has to get a vehicle why not one his kid likes? What vehicle choice criteria do you find acceptable?

The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD's and KFC for 4 years.

[–] Stovetop 107 points 15 hours ago (9 children)

I hope so. Less cost to the taxpayer, and the high calorie and sodium count will send Trump to an early grave.

[–] EvacuateSoul 51 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

The taxpayer doesn't pay for his meals, actually. Came as a surprise to the Obamas they said once.

Didn't look to hard for the Obama quote, but Nancy Reagan's reaction is in that one.

I gave you an upvote because it is on point. I want to down vote you because I don't want to live on that planet and its looking more and more like we will be that planet.

Saving this picture, in case I ever eat something poisonous i can use it to throw up immediately.

Strap the fuck in, American people of the Fediverse. This table of lunatics is about to make your lives much harder and more dangerous.

[–] WhatsHerBucket 79 points 16 hours ago (5 children)

Hate to say it, but the US isn’t the only country that is fucked. The impact is going to be felt worldwide and in a harsh way.

We’ll see how long places like Ukraine and Taiwan will last.

Ugh, the more I think about it the more I realize how bad it’s going to be.

I mean, at least there’s a bunch of fries available.

Not a single sauce opened, no bites taken, nothing removed from an annoying tray lip and placed on the table like a real person. No sign whatsoever that they are actually eating this junk. The half eaten fries are staged as eating without the ketchup that is right there on the tray is quite unlikely.

This is a staged ad. It is meant to be a message to others in corporate America, and for marketing to convenient idiots to quote the Russian term.
