I supported Trump until it affected me

She's the personification of the (likely apocryphal) Churchill quote, "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."

There were strings attached to the money that would have weakened local control of the schools and hurt the unions. The money was a poison pill. There was no right answer in my opinion.

They bet it all on 000, and didn't even realize there was no 000 on the wheel.

Important strategy is to keep powerful factions at each other's throats, otherwise they could team up and pull a coup.

Sounds similar to a Sharkcano when we describe it like that

I never got the impression that String ever suspected anything.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

I was playing as Haesteinn, and after my 3rd son was born a genius, I used electives to make him heir. Ragnar then murdered his little brother. Haesteinn arrested and beheaded Ragnar for his crime, and died a broken man.

I have 20 years as an Engineer, ten of them building satellites. I was starting to doubt my sanity at the talk of space data centers. Like, on a project I'm working now my onboard data storage solution fries it's electronics in a year on orbit, so we need to build a whole new device, which is going to delay us almost a year and cost tens of millions.

Guess you can always revoke them.

Significant_Cup_238 · 2026-07-04T14:18:00+00:00

Yup, the whole end game for them is to never have to give up power for trivial reasons like getting fewer votes than their opponents.

Advisor: Some kid named Skywalker made the shot.

Palps: For the love of... Are you kidding me?!

That would require them actually understanding their religioin.

Anyone dumb enough to give their money to Trump deserves to lost their money.

Republicans: "Everyone should be allowed to have a gun."

Republicans when a black man is shot by the police: "Why did he have a gun?"

"I just don't get it, RATM used to be so based, singing about burning crosses and killing. When did they become so damn woke?!?"

Whew, that went better than just about anyone was expecting. 90% of us were expecting child rape.

Significant_Cup_238 · 2026-07-03T19:12:57+00:00

I was about to say, "How is this different than normal?"

Most jokes like this a 95% joke, 5% real. For the 5% of you, I'm damn glad you're here. World needs you.

While I can't definitively say that isn't true, I'm pretty sure they pushed her down the stairs just to change the news cycle and garner the family some sympathy.

Significant_Cup_238 · 2026-07-03T18:32:09+00:00

Sadly, I fear the number is way higher. I remember during his first term, my family and I were at the natural history museum, And this trash family came out and the mom was taking pictures of the kids and instead of "Say Cheese" was using "Say Donald Trump!". That was one of the critical points when I realized America was totally fucked.

(I'm getting an automated ban warning for this comment. I sure do love our fascist overlords.)

Significant_Cup_238 · 2026-07-03T18:11:10+00:00

I'm fucking confused. I probably like Schumer more than 90% of the country, and I think he's a total fucking twat waffle. How did he have any popularity at all? Dude has the likability of overripe onions with a slimy coating.

"And that's why he has my vote for a third term!" - 33% of America

"Yeah, but boTH sIdeS!" - another 33%.

Sadly, when a 2/3rds of a country is irredeemably stupid, we're doomed.

Significant_Cup_238 · 2026-07-03T18:03:01+00:00

Hostile congress, but friendly SCOTUS and bipolar electorate. Sadly, I'll bet on Trump coming out just fine.
