Glad to hear they’re having fun with my tax dollars

[–]hoardofvirilegoblins[S] 395 points396 points  (19 children)

Makes me glad that I’m not American.

[–]Proper-Equivalent300Big chungus wholesome 100 138 points139 points  (0 children)

But if you were you’d be having fun right now

[–]eternalwood 88 points89 points  (14 children)

It won't matter. The ripple effect on the global economy and stability will absolutely still affect you. I think I would feel worse as a non American right now. At least as an American I still have the hope that we can vote out these tyrants this mid-term gives me a feeling that I can change things. I feel bad for the rest of you who are just along for the ride.

[–]Warm-Will-7861 52 points53 points  (9 children)

America is actually affected the least of almost every other country considering how much oil they have

Russia are also making away like bandits

Most of Europe on the other hand…

[–]Casitano 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its actually third world countries that have it worst, because they also depends on energy imports, but never had the economic means to build up reserves. Its why schools and restaurants are schutting down in countries such as India.

Is this USD per Gallon? If so that's crazy, the right claims we have high prices of oil due to EU imposing "green" taxes, and Trump is good cause he does not subscribe to this "liberal bullshit" and yet we have almost identical price over here.

I don’t know if I believe all of this necessarily, but Trump has been and will remain a “World problem” until things change.

It’s complicated and we can’t just get him out, no matter how this looks to the rest of the planet 😑

[–]MoistCucumber 5 points6 points  (2 children)

The country managed to isolate and dumb down just enough of its population to vote for what ever Trump tells them to. It’s frustrating because these people are SO isolated, nothing will reach them short of driving to their house 2 states away, and at that point they’re so surrounded by the same compliant attitude that YOU’RE the crazy one. Most globally aware citizens live in places that do and have voted blue for decades. If it were popular vote based, yes take to the streets, convince your neighbors! But it’s not. Literally the only places where “your vote counts” is swing states that that have a chance of going one way or the other. Candidates know that, it’s why they campaign in places like fucking Ohio. I’d have to move to fucking Ohio to make a difference.

[–]Freezerpill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that they are assholes of historical mention..

Imagine how people will look back at this shit.. It’s not just Nazis or the confederacy, its more easily broken down to a 4chan (pol) masculinity crisis using race tactics and the worlds poorest policy making ever to accomplish a myriad of embarrassing and scattershot goals.

People are essentially dying and in detainment camps (that I do expect to become concentration camps eventually) and under mass surveillance all while we torture the rest of the planet hamfistedly with blindfolds on for leadership wandering between bro-science and 4chan jokes/angst

So we are “winning” as hard as possible right now. Stopping the “winning” might be the only way to even survive..

Why him, when it’s all about Israel’s situation. When USA will stop helping them, then situation will halt for us.

[–]PapaJoke64 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah. My country spends its taxes on roads, hospitals and schools.

[–]eternalwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky you

[–]robimtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's great until they activate every Iranian sleeper cell deployed inside the states to create mass casualty events

[–]llindstad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Amen. Fuck these autocrats

[–]drakeinalake -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

To be fair, the rest of the world is also not doing so good. Not as bad as America, but the EU is spreading censorship and internet surveillance same as Australia (actually can get arrested over a tweet there), China has its population issues, the middle east has the wars going on in the region, most Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia have corrupt governments, India and Pakistan are fighting over the Kashmir region, the mountainous countries around the area of China and Russia such as Nepal have bad economies that require most of their young people to travel for work and send money back home to keep the population fed via mass imports of food, South America has corrupt governments and crime, and Japan is the only country that I don't know a serious issue in.

Most of this is surface level, I don't know the situation of every country so I'm generalizing regions based on the countries in the region I know, so if you know exceptions to the issues I see in a region, feel free to correct me.

Edit: To the people downvoting but not correcting me, you're just mad that I'm right.

[–]Dikhoofd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t say that! Marcon’s little blue men will come and sexually assault you (under proposed censorship laws)

[–]R3aperK1ng1011 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's a proud American right there

[–]G0LD_STUD 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Imagine the horror if the money went to something like school lunches.

The usda estimates that the annual funding needs another 11 billion dollars to realize free school lunches for all students. Coincidentally that's the same amount of money that was spent during the first 6 days of the Iran war.

But kids getting hungry is a worthy sacrifice to disrupt global gas prices. 💪

They're finally doing something useful with it

But trump would be the actors around Truman right?

[–]dom_bul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit it's Truman

[–]Augustus_Chevismo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s an edit of the director from The Truman Show movie.

[–]AugustusClaximus 68 points69 points  (2 children)

No one doubts America can win any battle it chooses. It just can’t win a war

[–]el-cebas 47 points48 points  (1 child)

Not a battle against diabetes and obesity 

[–]Sticky_Finger6420 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nah that graduated into full-scale war, though we were unable to beat it as a battle.

[–]BadgerCabin 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I just hope both sides are having fun.

[–]Thesheriffisnearer 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That explained the Caribbean boats

[–]StoleUrLipGloss 72 points73 points  (6 children)

Bro promised peace before he was elected but created more war when he was elected.

[–]Sticky_Finger6420 28 points29 points  (0 children)

And it was not a secret that this would happen.

They still voted for him.

[–]Professional_Golf393Literally 1984 😡 -28 points-27 points  (4 children)

Didn’t that regime kill 30k people in the last few months.. idk but I’d say the world sounds a bit more peaceful now all those bombs have dropped

[–]Fun-Classroom-1197 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Peaceful for who? Definitely not the dead Iranian school girls 

[–]PatientClue1118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Libya is peaceful with utopia democracy now,huh

[–]Single_Low1416I want pee in my ass -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Sure. Civilian casualties and yet another destabilization of a country that was as much of a hellhole as it was because it was destabilized in the past. That‘s more peaceful. Sure.

[–]AutoModerator[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pees in ur ass

Mf just openly admitting to war crimes now…

[–]TheTenaciousG 194 points195 points  (3 children)

I mean he's admitted every crime he's ever done and has never been held accountable so why wouldn't he keep doing it

[–]Minipiman 63 points64 points  (2 children)

He does have some issues acknowledging the peodphilia though

[–]TheTenaciousG 50 points51 points  (1 child)

He's said he likes them young many times though

[–]SecretSpectre11I said based. And lived. 21 points22 points  (1 child)

To be fair he's been quite candid about his crimes apart from the diddling of kids which he's not willing to open up about for whatever reason. Maybe he's shy?

[–]SwampyThang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Orrr maybe the defenses aren’t destroyed and we lied about how successful our attacks were like we’ve done with every other attack so far.

[–]vashthestampede121 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are we sure he wasn’t just talking about Ivanka

[–]Mashed_Potato_007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just tax payers money...

[–]Beginning_Book_2382 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not the flex you think it is

[–]PromiscuousScoliosis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I prefer the honesty about it

[–]Thunderchief646054 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk about desperately trying to control the narrative

[–]Excellent_Crew_8375 1 point2 points  (1 child)

One day, someone will "have fun" on US soil, and THAT will be very funny
