Let's not compare Billionaires with women fighting.

This is billionaires fighting. Notice how pathetic they both are.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 54 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Lol, Trump is only a billionaire because he has the US Treasury. Without that, he's very likely broke.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 71 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The Trump family has made a billion dollars every month he’s been in office

They are reaping money from the poor.

Do not discount how much wealth they are gaining from being in power, regardless of the treasury. They are sweeping property acquisitions among all their other methods of making money.

He wasn't a billionaire before becoming president, but he certainly is now. The grifting has been blatant and enormous.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 weeks ago

I picked up a phrase today, "the grotesquely wealthy." How pathetic the squabbles of the grotesquely wealthy.

How crazy would it be if EM ended up in CECOT or some ICE concentration camp

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not unlike Stalin's early supporters.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or almost like a shambolic Sturmabteilung. I was honestly surprised the J6 crowd was pardoned, figured they were no longer necessary and headed straight under the nearest bus.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

They're still needed for the next jan 6th.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 56 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I can't wait for Trump to deport Elon and Elon release everything he knows about how the 2024 election was stolen.

Plus Epstein.

Edit: what I mean by this is that while his hackers were doing their work, you don't think they managed to get those files while having basically unlimited access?

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

That would be insane from separation of power perspective (which admittedly doesn't look great, but we're not at that point yet).

Because it's so many victims, Epstein was federal, and this means it's in the hands of the FBI, although they would probably have a dedicated team just for this.

But the FBI only interfaces with the DOJ in that regard afaik, so the president should have no say in this. And another agency most definitely does not unless this interjects government processes of those agencies, which it does not.

Because of all the shenanigans going on we can never be 100% sure but this has layers of separation from DOGE.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

And nothing would happen.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 50 points 2 weeks ago

And this is why women are too emotional to be president.

Hey Bytes, I'm getting reports on the title. I don't think it's take down worthy, but it would be great for the community if you changed the title to something else. Downvote me if you want it to stay as is.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 23 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's a quote from AOC. Fair enough. Not everyone is into the political memes of it all.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks Bytes, I forgot about that. We've been getting a lot of trolls testing shit too. I apologize, but it's on that line and I really don't know what I'm doing, lol.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 7 points 2 weeks ago

Haha you're too kind of a mod!

WW3 isn't going to be between countries with nukes.

It's going to be between these two and the WW stands for White Weirdos instead of World War.

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

who's the third white weirdo?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 100 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Captain Couch-Fucker himself, or maybe pooty

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Why does Elon have Zuko's scar?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Black eye from "his kid punching him after he dared him to".

Likely actually from falling and smacking his face during a K-hole.

Escalate in this case means engaging in the fight and adding fuel to the fire, not appealing to a higher authority.

Like when a cop shows up to a littering call and pulls their gun out.

so what is the diversion about this time?

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Probably the "Big ~~Beautiful~~ Ugly Bill", which is very unpopular, so they are trying to ram it through the house as quickly as possible.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

With plenty of money going to Trump's personal gang of thugs:

ICE’s current annual budget is around $10 billion. Under the version of the bill that passed the Senate, the agency would receive an infusion of more than $100 billion through 2029:

They're distracting themselves from actually doing something useful.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Ask to speak to his manager, Elon.

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I just really want that election interference case to speed up but I read somewhere next court date is in September.

We’re screwed as a country if it takes that long and we come to find out that both cheated and aided Russia to fully infiltrate our government databases.

[–] regdog@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

lol if you think that court cases still matter.

There is no one left in the government that would dare to actually enforce a verdict against Trump.

conveniently occurs right as they passed the BBB, its nothing more than a distraction to the disastourous bill.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's all kayfabe.

[–] Sillyglow@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

He’s only refraining for now cuz what he has would jail him for being a part of it. He’s waiting til there’s no hope left but to go to jail.

Which just means things will get a lot worse now that they passed the bill.

[–] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

I mean… he could also just take a private jet out of the US and do all his evil mastermind schemes over a Zoom call

No. Grown fucking men who should be doing this in private are fighting.

Isn't dogedesigner one of Elon's many alt accounts?

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm arguing with myself to make an account on twitter just to call him a pussy.
