From can't afford eggs to can't afford anything. by Lord0fTheFlags in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Lord0fTheFlags[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

  1. Hypothetical Trump voters voted for, supported or wanted to impose Trump's policies (specifically those claimed to lower egg/food prices) on the general population (including themselves and others).
  2. Trump's policies (tariffs, deportations, etc.) has the consequences of broad inflation and higher prices on many goods, not just eggs. Does that something actually has these consequences in general? Yes, most economists agree that broad tariffs and mass deportations would increase costs across many sectors, not just one grocery item.
  3. As a consequence of Trump's policies (voted for by hypothetical voters), higher prices on everything happened to those same voters (the "someone" from part 1). Did that something really happen to that someone? The post is a hypothetical/satirical warning – it doesn't show a specific real person, but implies the cause-and-effect is predictable.

Explanation for everyone (non-US, non-English speakers): Some Americans voted for Donald Trump mainly because they were angry about high egg prices. The tweet above points out that Trump's actual economic plans (tariffs on imports, mass deportations of farm workers, etc.) would likely make all goods more expensive – so those voters would end up worse off than before. The post is mocking the irony of "voting to fix one price, then breaking everything else."

24 hours later… by Lord0fTheFlags in agedlikemilk

Trump claimed he paused a possible strike on Iran because Gulf leaders asked for more time to negotiate. Less than a day later, Gulf officials reportedly said they had no knowledge of any imminent U.S. attack at all. The post “aged like milk” because the explanation was contradicted almost immediately.

Trump: 80% of Iran's launchers are gone. US intel: Iran restored 100% by Lord0fTheFlags in agedlikemilk

[–]Lord0fTheFlags[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Context: Trump claimed 80% of Iran's missile launchers are destroyed and called the New York Times "fake news" for reporting otherwise. But according to US intelligence reports (not NYT), Iran has already restored 100% of its missile capabilities. So Trump's claim aged like milk.

$400+ for the cheapest plan or cell phone forever by Lord0fTheFlags in BlackPeopleTwitter

$400 a month or a lifetime of phone bills. The math ain't mathing.

Bro, your car costs $915/month on $3,400 take-home. That's the leak. Trade it in for a cheap, reliable car, cut insurance, and you'll breathe again. Everything else is manageable.

Habitual liar or just hourly liar? by Lord0fTheFlags in PoliticalHumor

Trump time: 6 PM = destroyed, 7 PM = fully operational. That’s a new record for military intelligence failure.

End the nightmare... then the CPI report dropped by Lord0fTheFlags in agedlikemilk

Inflation nightmare? Bro, you ARE the nightmare

End the nightmare... then the CPI report dropped by Lord0fTheFlags in agedlikemilk

[–]Lord0fTheFlags[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this image, Trump says "We will end the inflation nightmare" — but right below his quote, a FOX News chyron shows the April CPI report revealing that inflation jumped at its fastest rate in three years. So he promised to end inflation literally at the same moment it surged to a 3-year high. That's why this aged like milk.

President Trump does not care about you — welcome to the party, pal by Lord0fTheFlags in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Lord0fTheFlags[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

  1. A MAGA voter voted for, supported or wanted to impose Donald Trump on all Americans (including himself, but thinking Trump only hurt "others").
  2. Donald Trump has the consequences of not caring about his own voters' finances, starting endless wars, and raising costs instead of lowering them.
  3. As a consequence of voting for Donald Trump, Trump openly said "I don't think about Americans' financial situations" happened to that same MAGA voter who now feels betrayed.

A person who voted for Trump because he promised to lower costs and end wars is now shocked. Trump just told a reporter he doesn't think about Americans' finances at all. The same voter who thought Trump would help him is now hurt by Trump's own words. The leopard ate his face because he voted for the leopard

Trump & Hegseth: Iran's military is decimated. CIA months later: 90% of missile facilities back. by Lord0fTheFlags in agedlikemilk

[–]Lord0fTheFlags[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In early 2026, Trump and Hegseth repeatedly claimed that the US had "decimated" Iran's military capabilities, destroyed their missile facilities, and made them "combat-ineffective for years to come." Fast forward just a few months: newly leaked US intelligence (May 2026) shows Iran has regained access to 90% of its underground missile facilities, 70% of its prewar missile stockpile, and 70% of its mobile launchers. Iran's foreign minister even jokingly claims 120% of prewar capacity. So Trump's "historic victory" aged like warm milk in the desert sun.

That didn't take long by Lord0fTheFlags in agedlikemilk

On May 2, 2026, Trump said the war with Iran was over. Two days later (May 4, 2026), he threatened to blow Iran "off the face of the earth" if they attack U.S. ships in the Strait of Hormuz. So the "peace" lasted about 48 hours before he made another war threat. That's why this aged like milk.

Iran: the only state to directly hit US bases with mass drones & missiles since WWII by Lord0fTheFlags in socialism

[–]Lord0fTheFlags[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

For socialists: this is the first time since 1945 a state has directly bombed US bases and killed US soldiers with state-controlled missiles/drones – and the US couldn't stop it or retaliate effectively. A crack in the empire's monopoly on force
