    Notice how even when potentially becoming self aware they still say it’s having a negative effect on “conservative Canadians” as if they’re the only demographic that would be pissed about a hostile foreign power threatening to take their sovereignty.

    Even if Biden had been as “out to lunch” as they all claimed (which was so crazy it hurt to see), even if he was worse, then at least the people around him knew what they were doing.

    We’re instead now surrounded by people like the crazy drunk fox news weekend host Hegseth and "one of the victors re-writing history Patel.

    These aren’t even serious enough people to have a conversation with. I legit think they would devolve immediately into literally saying “hurr durrr” if asked about their behavior for more than a couple minutes.

      Too bad every news outlet is so terrified of losing access that they never fucking do

    “He’s a businessman”.

    No, he’s a nepo baby hustler who thinks winning is the only thing that matters, and winning is when you rip off and take advantage of people.

    Lol what morons. They deserved to be fleeced for all they’re worth - they’re still goddamn idiotic enough to believe Trump is a business man or that he doesn’t explicitly want the “company” tanked.

      Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do and the obvious outcome happens, but they still don’t see through his bullshit not matter how many times it bites them in the ass.

        Well, except the things that would have been nice. Like bringing down prices, ending wars, not being a little bitch in the white house.

          He promised that he would bring down prices by putting tariffs on everything. So you can check that one off the list. The tariffs are in place. And he promised to end the war in Ukraine by bullying them into surrendering to Russia, and finishing the genocide in Palestine, so you can check off ending wars as well.

          The only one he didn’t promise was to not be a little bitch in the White House, because we all knew that’s exactly what he was gonna be. We had historical evidence of that.

        Even past that, the market has been on a historic bull run. The NASDAQ is up around 150% over five years. Unprecedented gains, even with the COVID dip.

        What kind of whiny bullshit is this about a 15% decline? You’re holding equity with a 100+ p/e. You took a bunch of leveraged risk and came out ahead, but you’re still not happy because… you’re not a trillionaire like Daddy Musk yet? Take your fucking profits and back away from the roulette wheel, you degenerates.

      Right? Fuck around and find out. Damn them all for setting us on this path of this hellscape they set us all upon. If you’re MAGA or didn’t vote at all I don’t have the sympathy or empathy left to give a shit what happens. The leopards are going to eat so many faces the next four years they’re going to die of obesity.

    You needn’t look further than ‘Conservative Environmentalist’. Obviously, he has no clue what his party actually does.

      I’ve known a few of those. “Environmentalism” to them only goes as far as making sure they have some fields around them stocked with deer and pheasant to hunt, and maybe a lake they can tool around in their bass boat.

      Like is he just ignoring the “Drill baby drill” shit? Or the fact that in his first term Trump reduced the size of national parks for the sake of oil operations?

    He’s a TV businessman as in he’s as much a business man as any actor. Conservatives seem to repeatedly make the mistake that actors actually do the things for real

    What I love is how many of them talk about, “he’s just trolling,” and it’s like, even if he was, is that seriously what you want in a president? Now it’s, “even if he is just trolling, this is a bad idea,” as if there’s ever a time that the fucking president treating international relations like a shitpost would be a good idea. These people are so, so stupid.

      I am guessing a lot of them will blame this on Biden, citing the normal truth that presidents usually don’t make immediately apparent noticeable impacts on the economy. It normally takes months or years for most policy to make a big difference. In this case, the tariffs are so stupid on their face that no honest person could deny they would have drastic effects. Compare stock market graphs to the timeline of trump announcements… but they will deny it and pretend this is business as usual, and because it’s only a month in, it’s obviously Biden. Nevermind that they would never normally believe that shit if it’s inconvenient to their case.
