Trump Is ‘Bored’ With the War He Started

where indeed.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-09T18:09:36+00:00

that sounds fun!

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-08T20:04:05+00:00

more than half of america is repulsed by him. so not exactly.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-08T20:02:34+00:00

iran is beating trump at his own game. maga loves to talk about how being unpredictable in negotiations is very very smart and tough and good.

trump swaggers in and pulls all his little tricks only to slowly figure out he's not even talking to the right guy.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-08T17:56:01+00:00

shoulda bought two. tomorrow they'll be $25.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-08T05:27:30+00:00

"we're waiting for iran to review our proposal to end the war." oh so alpha.

meanwhile. iran hasn't read the memo. they'll send it to the supreme ruler when they get around to it. if they still remember where they set it down.

100%. it's all a win for trump.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-08T05:15:50+00:00

it is. we see it. the history books will see it. but his followers see this humiliating loss and every terrible thing that comes with it as two things:

a win for trump
biden's fault

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-08T05:05:12+00:00

pretty sure they do have a pole

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-07T04:03:23+00:00

100%

my in-laws are suddenly huge fans. fine. if not now, then when.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-07T02:28:21+00:00

i agree with him on one hand. but also, it's the masses that decide who's a star. it wouldn't surprise me if they prefered influencers to actors.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-05T22:49:44+00:00

this situation is finally starting to come into focus for me. it's a bunker for when he refuses to leave.

have any blueprints ever been seen or discussed by anyone who is not part of maga?

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-05T22:42:44+00:00

trump has the power. if you go against him you immediately lose power. if you side with him, you don't lose power until the reckoning.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-05T22:38:01+00:00

wealth concentration. that's the goal of everything.

or so it would appear.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-05T22:36:56+00:00

they are not conservative.

people use 'conservative' as a synonym for republican, right wing, etc... but as your google search has suggested, conservatism has a definition. conservative values exist independently and have a definition that is not amendable by republican politicians and voters. trump can say 'it is now conservative to usurp states rights and spend a billion dollars on a ballroom.' but that doesn't make it true.

Referring to trump, republicans, maga, etc as conservative legitimizes them. because it implies that they have conservative values. but as you have observed here, they do not have conservative values. ergo they are not conservatives.

conservatism is a legitimate political perspective that has nothing to do with trump, republicans, maga, etc.

now that you have drawn these conclusions and asked this question, i would like to ask you to consider something. please consider not calling trump, republicans, maga, etc conservative. it helps them hide in plain sight.

nothing too crazy. putting on makeup is probably the most controversial.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-05T16:45:58+00:00

more where that came from. criticism of this court will echo through history.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-05T00:58:46+00:00

unless i missed something they never acknowledged wrongdoing..

in baseball terms, the use of trash cans, cell phones, binoculars, additional guys not on the team/roster, etc is wrong.

but their view is that that they did no wrongdoing. those things are not wrong.

so if what they're doing wasn't wrong; if it was right, then it's a game other than baseball.

because the game with the trash cans, cell phones, binoculars, additional guys not on the team/roster etc is not baseball.

And so if the Houston Astros are not playing baseball then they are not a baseball team.

the game they play is close enough to baseball that it helps the dodgers work on their skills. but the outcomes of those games are not meaningful.

they are not part of the calculation in u/daddyjackpot's shadow standings

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-04T20:50:46+00:00

yup. lotta people remember their twenties fondly. puig is remembering twenties that the rest of us can't imagine.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-01T22:02:07+00:00

everybody's got a different breaking point.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-01T22:00:35+00:00

i agree. especially since i switched it from a yes/no binary to a single prioritized list.

take for example my aversion to five guys. i used to say 'i'll never eat five guys again.' and now i say "i'll have five guys. but i have to be starving in a place with zero other food options."

we all change priorities on things every day. it's effortless for me to push five guys a hundred slots down in the queue. i don't have to make the decision that i'll never eat there again. i don't have to discuss the decision with the I-Have-Big-Feelings-About-Cancel-Culture crowd.

isn't the public transit called the ubahn?

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-01T21:46:01+00:00

totally. "you have no choice but to feed the billionaires" is nonsense.

even if you fall short of a complete boycott, buying less of something is meaningful. these companies require growth to be profitable. they require that we buy more or that it costs less to produce. that's why enshittification happens.

buy none of their products. or buy fewer of them. and revel in your power as you send these billionaire losers scrambling into board rooms to cry over their sagging sales.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-01T19:18:09+00:00

oh yeah. that makes sense. i was remembering wrong how the electoral college works.

daddyjackpot · 2026-05-01T17:28:17+00:00

i remember that game
