WHUT? I thought Trump was just going to kick out all the illegals and fuck over China! No one told me there would be DOMESTIC consequences!! Why didn't anyone warn me? At all his rallies he said the next 4 years would be awesome. Now I'm starting to think I was misled!
nooo trump will definitely make the country great again, you see, but just like every great empire, so does this one require slaves/victims. otherwise if you're not winning against someone, what is the point in greatness?

If DOGE doesn't touch US Military spending (they won't), it's more bullshit than the TSA
What's going to happen is DOGE will cut $5 trillion from the programs, and then there will be a $4 trillion in tax cuts that impact only the rich in someway or another, and an additional $1 trilion for the military.
0 money is actually going to be saved from this. Realistically it'll be negative and cost money, not even 0.
well i guess it's a good thing nobody really needed that Social Security anyways /s
i'm impressed over and over again what kind of mental flexibility allows people to call themselves "followers of jesus" and then implement such regulations.
Not to come off as a raging cynic, but I for one am not.
All one needs to do is work retail or food service on Sundays. Moral licensing is absolutely a thing, and it's awful. Such interactions can leave one with the impression that there's a huge mob of people out there that are more concerned with narrowly avoiding hell than ensuring their place in heaven. Nevermind trying to be good people.
Yet if there is any discussion on increasing taxes on these fucks all of a sudden it's government overreach on the "job creators"
Bahahahahaha.
This is what happens when you've never ridden on the subway.
Someone needs to share this news with @BigMacHole@lemm.ee
You do realize that's satire account, right?
Yeah that's why we need him
Friendly reminder that Social Security is a separate government program that funds itself.
What Musk is talking about is stealing from Social Security in order to cut taxes elsewhere (namely cutting taxes for people like Musk).
Wow! Who woulda guessed they would immediately reneg on a campaign "promise" and immediately attack the side of the population that most reliably votes for them?
Remember, we fucking paid for social security. It’s not government pork. It’s ours.
Don't worry, you'll continue to pay for it. You'll probably even pay more.
The cuts are just for the people receiving it. They'll lose money. Which means you'll lose even more in the future.
A majority of young people agree on what the right course of action is here. Remember to leave your phone at home. Don't talk to the police.
Don't worry, you'll continue to pay for it. You'll probably even pay more.
You know what? Im already this fucking close anyway:
Spins up my semi-industrial mushroom and weed farm again
Time to make some untracked moolah I guess
I would like to purchase a stake in your industrial botanical operation. What people will do with weeds I have no idea but mushrooms are always popular at the farmers market.
Its shockingly easy to produce pounds of mushrooms, btw
Clear 10Gal bin from Walmart (I use 4 for diff stages and always having some growing) - $12/ea
Pack of wide mouth bell jars - $30
Jar lids for mycology: pack of 6 for $12
Coco coir - I got 12 bricks for $50 years ago and still going strong with over half my supply
Brown rice flour - $4 a bag at my local store
Perlite: varies depending on the time of year. Got a huge bag for like 60 bucks last winter
Water spray bottle: $2
Thermometer and hydrometer combo: $8
Enough spores for 6 jars of in ovulation: $12-15 and will be shipped to your door
Hardest part is innoculation without cross contamination, if you get that far and remember to spray 3x a day you're basically guaranteed 2-3 fruiting cycles with a good 1/8 to 1/4 per cycle per jar, ime
Up, it has a surplus. Government 'borrows' from the pool to pay for stuff. When they say they're making cuts, what they mean is they don't intend to pay the debt.
No, it's theirs. They're going to take it and we're just going to let them because we are cowards.
You, me, the next guy that posts a meme, complete and total cowards who are going to bend over and let him fuck us.
Y'all let it get this far, are you waiting on something? Bend over, then.
‘Member when Dark Brandon called republicans out on this in his state of the union address, and they all booed and denied it?
Pepperidge Farm ‘members
Too bad "dark" Brandon couldn't appoint a competent attorney general. Or stand up to the Israeli genocide. It so any of the important things that could have prevented voters not caring to turn out, having felt abandoned and ignored... But at least he said some things
Wonder if voters will realize how much they fucked up after a few years of this.
But Kamala just wasn’t inspiring enough. So…
Yes, they want to roll back the entire New Deal and have corporate serfdom again. They have been saying it for years and now they have their chance.
