Picture needs to include ‘gambling on every possible aspect of existence’
Like a parody of posters about building a better future. It calls out some visible suffering but then instead of asking for a donation or something to help the situation, it asks readers to place bets on whether it will be better, the same, or worse in x time. Big smiling face on the bottom with the quote, "I won $235 because I guessed the day one of the homeless locals would die correctly!"
"I won $235 because I guessed the day one of the homeless locals would die correctly!"
Oh my God. That would do so well. Worst part is you'd get people betting on themselves.
What a miserable, awful life :/ It's quite sad to see this image.
"You'd look prettier if you smiled more."
Damn, this is real. I was working Dollar General during this 4th and literally every person working there was personally and negatively impacted by Trumpistan but we still had to sell that crap. My boss was pissed (he is a gay man who lost his trans sister to violence associated with MAGA). This wasnt just 250 4th of july shit, it was straight MAGA.
That is fucking dark, dude. I don't know what else to say.
"AND YOU DESERVE IT THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT YOU DID THIS YOU WANTED THIS YOU'RE ALL THE SAME I HOPE YOU SUFFER YOU MADE THIS HAPPEN WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT"

Turns out, the rest of the world is not sympathetic towards yankees when their chickens come home to roost.
Those kids in cages didn't deserve to be put in cages. They're also Americans.
The people being shot in the street are Americans.
The people trying to stop this insanity and getting arrested for it are Americans.
You want to throw the baby out with the bath water? Then you're in favor of what Trump does. You're in favor of ICE.
There's people who had no hand in this happening who don't deserve the reprocussions for other people's greed and evil.
"If this was in my country, I'd be goddamn John Wick right now!"
and they would be right.
But no need to do something.
On the contrary, glad to see them go down the shitter.
Given how many countries the US has victimized, it's at least a little comforting to know they're getting some of it turned back on them.
They had a chance to make things better, unlike so many other countries. They had it good for decades, only to blow it all up for some narcissistic, billionaire pedophile. Fuck em.
The libs were perfectly happy to live in their american bubble of 'democracy' getting the crumbs of the empire's looting and murdering.
As long as it happened far away they could turn a blind eye.

No liquor? I thought this was America.
Right there, next to the toy trucks and fireworks.
I was sitting with my mom this past Independence Day and asked her if this one felt different from the bicentennial and she started crying.
What's EBT?
Electronic benefit transfer is an electronic system used in the United States that allows state welfare departments to issue benefits via a magnetically encoded payment card.
There is a HUGE amount of EBT funds being stolen before people even have a chance to use the funds. States are not refunding it either
food stamps
This is sad...ly accurate.
