Let's not compare Billionaires with women fighting.

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

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 54 points 1 month ago

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

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 71 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

My comment was literally saying that the only wealth he has was because he's in power.

[-] breecher@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 month ago

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 1 month ago

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

Thank you for the link.

The full page, and explanation at the bottom captures the thinking. (I don't expect perfection from humans. I would like us to work on improving.)

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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

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 6 points 1 month ago

Haha you're too kind of a mod!

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

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

Not unlike Stalin's early supporters.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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 1 month ago

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

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 55 points 1 month ago

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

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 1 month 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 9 points 1 month ago

And nothing would happen.

[-] Fourth@mander.xyz 50 points 1 month ago

Don't insult girls.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 48 points 1 month ago

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

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.

[-] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Haha! I need a vacation...

so what is the diversion about this time?

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 6 points 1 month 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:

The Onerous Bloated Billionaire Boondoggle

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago

They're distracting themselves from actually doing something useful.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

It's all kayfabe.

[-] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

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 1 month ago

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.

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 5 points 1 month 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

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

What does this have to do with girls? Of course the person posting to the racist community “whitepeopletwitter” is also a sexist pig.

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

Misdirection

[-] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

If the catpcha was not annoying I would. I'd tell him he chicked out of fighting of zuck too.

[-] Buske@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It is all for show.

[-] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

mama and papa are fighting again

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Wasn't their last spat just a distraction from larger news?

Wonder what they're "look at the birdy-ing" about now.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

His bill that shall not be named.
