At this point I think we should start looking into missing cats and dogs around Mar a lago. He's probably eating them

[–] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nah, he's cooking up orphans in that compund.

Correct, he is definitely fucking lizards as well.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can understand eating children, but not pegging the lizards D:

[–] SpermHowitzer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Well, I don’t make any statement regarding which side is doing, and which side is receiving, the pegging.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 57 points 3 days ago

I know we all get by now that it's always projection, but this really is getting ridiculous.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 34 points 3 days ago

I don't think Harris would intentionally harm this country and its alliances for a hostile Russian oligarch.

Unlike the actual guy this meme is based on, yes.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

He wanted to be the one to do it.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You don’t understand this is the first step of the plan.

You’ve got to trust the plan.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Isn't the plan to profit billionaires?

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Which a stock market crash does in the long term. They are better positioned to weather a recession then anyone else and during a recession there is ample opportunities to buy property and ownership from those that couldn't weather it, further centralized wealth among the billionaires. In another way, think of covid, did you see many huge corporations go out of business? No, but i know a ton of small businesses that couldn't weather the storm and went out of business, guess who gets to replace them when consumers look for their wares.

The risk they don't seem to imagine is that their ownership and precious property rights are still conditional.

If you impoverish everyone so much that they no longer have a stake in preserving absolute property rights, it becomes a lot easier to sell "nationalise their assets" and "hang them from a petrol station canopy."

You might be able to find a few bodyguards you can bribe to protect a compound, but you're not going to be able to guard everything once society no longer sees value in recognizing your claims to ownership.

Even the "robber barons" of the past-- the Carnegies and Rockefellers-- at least knew that public gestures and restraint would help push that day back, but does Musk or Bezos have that level of understanfing?

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Unless you can get the masses to be resigned to it, like Russia or China.

[–] HKPiax@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Well, he didn't crash it instantly did he? Checkmate leftards.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Less than 5% into his term seems pretty instant.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Op was being /s

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

He said he'd bring peace to Ukraine in his first 24 hours. So Trump crashed the market instantly in Trump Time.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 9 points 3 days ago

You know shit has hit the fan when the meme demand warrants whipping out Scumbag Donald in 2025 😅

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 9 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Whether through the legislature or 2nd amendment, we keep going at this trajectory and I’d be shocked if he stayed in office for 4 years, let alone 2

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I imagine even if he dies during the term republican leadership will Weekend at Bernies him for the remainder of the term to continue to use him as a scapegoat for all the evil shit they want to do.

I feel like they'll probably invent some plot by "Marxists" and start cracking down hard on anyone even slightly left of center in the name of combating terrorism. Like, even harder than they are already.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I've thought of this too, and absolutely they'll try that. I just don't think they can pull it off, everyone else has anti-charisma.

[–] griff@lemmings.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

it’s so hard to find anyone else in the GOP with the charisma of a rabid badger comedian these days

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

Dude uses hypnosis techniques and it works. He also somehow fakes sincerity. It obviously doesn't work on you, but some people are more susceptible to hypnosis than others.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm rooting for team arteriosclerosis.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

The ironic one would be weakend food safety leading to a few bad hamburgers and he ends up dying from like salmonella or something else entirely preventable if someone cares to notice.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

I would have been shocked so many times by now, I won't be shocked even if he's there the next 42 years

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I for one, am enjoying the come back of the old memes.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago

The classics are classics for a reason.

[–] valaramech@fedia.io 5 points 3 days ago

Every accusation is an admission.
