its not really deception when hes made the things hes gonna do clear
"We're appalled, shocked even, that the face eating leopards, which have advertised themselves clearly as face-eating leopards for the last several years, have begun eating our faces!"
These are the times when reality hits you over the head, regardless of if you live in reality or not.
The next one may very well be when veterans loose their benefits and the checks stop coming. Can't really hide from that in your alternate reality.
if only he had openly expressed disdain for veterans, maybe they would've known he doesn't give a shit about them.
oh wait. he did.
for all the lies he told, he didn't deceive you. you're likely not wealthy so you didn't vote for him for that reason. so that leaves only the possibility that you're just a price is shit racist and/or sexist asshole. so fuck you, i hope every single day for his entire administration will be worse than the day before.
Oh my god they're so fucking stupid. They actually thought he'd do things that benefitted them?
Aaahahahaha, we are so fucked, this is almost back around to being fun to watch.
Let me get this straight. Team Trump's thing is to always pick the worst for the job. And not just the worst, we are talking polar opposite black mirror picks. It is designed to make a mockery of the establishments. Like going into court and finding out your judge is literally bozo the clown.
So his team farts out another pick. Someone who is an unqualified shitstain. Color me surprised!
I would not be surprised if this guy couldn't swim and is afraid of the water. He is probably an anti-oceaner who thinks we should drain the ocean to prevent drownings.

This response should be the preamble of the Lemmurist Manifesto.

He just happens to know these nice out of town people with fusion reactors that can float in the air and suck it all up for us to keep us safe.
Yes, they really are that gullible.
I hate myself for laughing so hard at these type of news, but it is what it is. The next 4 years will have so many articles with similar titles. I will keep crying and laughing all the same!
No one is immune from propaganda.
What fans said that? Seriously, all these articles and posts seem like the most pathetic form of copium.
"Oh boy, his supporters must really be feeling bad now right? Right?!" Wrong. His supporters are not having second thoughts. They're not regretting their choices. They aren't feeling betrayed. They are overjoyed, and the constant attempts to reframe that as some Leopards-eating-faces schadenfreude is the stupidest thing I've seen all year, and I watched the run up to the election.
All these fucking posts are either based around like 1-2 tweets from no-name people, obviously fake accounts, or the worst; obviously made-up anecdotal stories from leftists, desperate to feel good about themselves, about how some right-winger in their life suddenly regrets all their choices. "Oh my racist uncle is a farmer and he's really feeling betrayed by Trump now. He's sooooo mad and-" Fuck off. No he's not. You haven't talked to your estranged uncle in years and have no idea what he's feeling if he even exists.
Miserable leftists desperately pretending that right-wingers are regretting their vote and secretly feeling as miserable as them. Grow the fuck up. They aren't regretting things. They won, and they're happier than pigs in shit about it.
The thing these articles are doing (which sensationalist articles always do) is taking a few people's opinions and spreading it across the entire blanket "they" of whatever opposite side the article references. It appeals to people because its easier for people to generalize the whole group than to point to a niche section.
This one in particular takes a few people who are interested in the secretary of the Navy and says they're upset at the choice, which they might be, and spins it into "They're all upset at what their leader did."
You can find this rhetoric all over the political spectrum, whether it's copium or relishing. Take it with a grain of salt.
You are not immune to propaganda.
The irony of making fun of "leftists" for believing this shit is not lost on "leftists". Most of us don't believe it. However, most Trump supporters absolutely HAVE to believe this kind of bullshit, because Trump wouldn't appeal to you WITHOUT this exact kind of dishonest media.
I think what's happening is people are angry that they have been consistently correct about their fear of Trump, yet Trumpers pretend we were wrong even when the reality is right in front of you now. Like, literally, all of the reasons we have warned about Trump are coming true.
Every single argument against Trump goes the same way. Trump supporters deny the claim. Then, when it looks like its coming true, they re-frame it with desperate speculation until it actually comes true. Then they pretend that's what they all wanted in the first place.
"Haha...the libs are angry about it...we won!...lets keep marching towards the spinning blades patriots!"
I mean, seriously. The lies! So many lies. So many PROVEN right in front of you lies? So many incoherent rants. Threats of violence. Multiple different "genres" of crimes. Venomous hatred against minorities and other human fucking beings. Is it supposed to be some kind of tacitcal political genius against people who don't get it? Why? Why don't any of you ever explain why? Wouldn't it make sense to be comprehensible to liberals too?
"I will deliberately make people think I'm terrible using hateful bigotry and childish insults and nicknames but my supporters will know otherwise because only they will have the key to my secrets...and that's why liberals are stupid and my supporters are so smart"
Not much of a tactic is it?
Emporer Palpatine was not the hero. Right?
Around my mega family now, They have zero regrets and love every choice is making. But to them Trump is a smart business man and can do no wrong.
Yep, my family regards him as a diety, chosen by God to lead America. He can do no wrong as he is God's vessel on Earth and acts only with divine will. So even if he makes what appears to be a mistake, it's actually all part of God's plan. Like God he is infallible.
next 4 years are gonna be made much more tolerable from watching all the conservative bleating and handwringing about "HE WASNT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HURT THE NOT-MES!"

Some expressed feelings of betrayal, accusing Trump of abandoning their values and making decisions that harm the nation.
Like every single one of his moves this time?
Even the efficency and cost cutting are being done too harshly to maintain service levels. But denyong services is priority 1b.
I'm reading this as a hedge fund is going to buy out the navy and shut it down.
They'll award contracts that will weaken the military without cutting spending. Like what already happened to Russia.
Lease it to China so the invasion of Taiwan makes a profit instead costs American lives and treasure.

If only someone could have predicted this and warned them, over and over, for years...
If only the person they voted for had said he intended to do this exact thing LOUDLY, REPEATEDLY AND PUBLICLY for the last 4 years...
If only... Oh well, I guess we'll never know what that would have been like...
Good god, Trump voters never disappoint. Or always, I'm not sure
It feels a bit like when a company has been taken over by a VC firm.
And you start finding out how they're going to suck the juice out, while all the management involved in the decision pretend it's all rosy.
The difference is that with a VC takeover, it is not something the employees voted for.
John Phelan? Was he named by J K Rowling?
John Phelan young girls body parts.
(Legal: wordplay joke. No basis for pedo allegations.)
Oh is it pronounced "Feelin'" not "Felon"? My bad

Those are "their" values, not his. And for a rubble he'll get new values.
