You haven’t done one fucking positive thing.
Edit: …on purpose
If the world is lucky he might do one soon.
Die?
The Trump The
No one who speaks like a complete fucking idiot could be an evil man
Thank you, Mr Worf.
Eat any good books lately?
The high gas prices are making EVs appealing, even without subsidies.
OK but he hasn’t done a positive thing on purpose. 😂
I've got a nice etrike. I haven't tried to get it on the train yet, but if I can I will be able to access most of Northern California, instead of the 30 mile radius around me
Honestly I only use the car like once a week, and it's for a rehearsal I could probably take the train to
Just avoid taking that on during commute time. Those things don’t fit compactly into the bike rack, and they piss everyone off during commute hours.
The fact that I exist pisses a lot of people off so honestly if they can't make that small an accommodation, it's on them
I guess is depends on how busy your train system is. In my city we’re packed in like sardines during commute hours, and during those busy times those things create situations where people can’t get in and out and properly.
Technically the train conductor and police are supposed to keep an eye out for that shit and make sure bikes don’t block aisles and doors, but they don’t and the wide and long bikes often block mobility when trains are packed.
I commute with something pretty slim that easily tucks into the train racks.
That's not quite true.. he did have the flags lowered to half mast for a week when Dolly Parton passed. Besides that one thing, yes.. you are correct.
I highly doubt that was done on his order. More likely, everyone was going to do it anyway and he just took credit. Because that's all he ever does. Fucking useless trash. JUST DIE ALREADY YOU OLD FUCK!
I think he also passed an executive order that made abuse of an animal a felony. So like... 2 positive things and 100,000 negative things. Pretty much equal.
yeah, but his FBI is now gonna be staffed by animal rapists, so . . .
Once is a coincidence. Twice? Basically Gandhi.
...he shares a few proclivities with Gandhi, in fact.
Whats his angle?
It wasn’t kinky enough, had to make it illegal.
he was only doing that because of his own image and the negative press and backlash had he not done so.
C'mon, don't be so pessimistic.
He increased the price of oil significantly and (fingers crossed) permanently.
This lead to the biggest push towards renewable energy powdered consumer devices than any president before him.
I would love for a reporter to respond that way to him, dead-pan style.
If outlets are gonna get banned anyway they might as well go for it and say it.
He thinks stealing their oil is an accomplishment
Their dirty oil that we can’t even use
Nah he can sell it and put it in an account in a qatari bank that the government may or may not control. That counts as we right?
he got COVID that one time...that was decent day
And then there was that time he "mysteriously" disappeared for a weekend or two weeks or something
Seeing that helicopter haul him away filled me with hope.
Should ask what good does he think he has done. Let the man dig his own grave.
his mind lives in a fantasy world, he thinks he's the best person to ever lived in the history of the world
"he made the white house beautiful again" didn't you hear?
There's already enough material out there that he's dug to the other side of the globe.
That's just not true. What about the times he got nearly assassinated?
The "nearly" thing is the problem
