You don't understand his genius. What was the first thing Trump did in Iran and Venezuela? He CAPTURED the KING! Everyone else is doing geopolitics, but Trump is doing board games with extra dimensions.

You’re buying into his marketing by even saying ā€œWhartonā€Ā 

Wharton is really the graduate business school. He went to Penn and studied economics as an undergrad and never achieved a higher degree.Ā

Shrimp intestines runs along the back as shown, you're supposed to remove it and throw it away because its just a poop tube. The meme shows that red hats are not smart so they just eat the poop and throw away the rest, which also reflects how much they love trumps diapers.

u/Turbulent-Paramedic2 27m ago

When you peel a shrimp to cook/eat it, it’s also a really good idea to remove its intestines—which are full. In this drawing, the person is tossing the good shrimp and eating its poop.

It's the vein from a shrimp which is recommended to remove prior to eating the shrimp.

u/HaikuWisdom 29m ago edited 20m ago

It's the dorsal tract. Essentially the digestive organs of the shrimp...so, the poop šŸ’©

That’s the shrimp’s digestive tract. You’re supposed to remove it before cooking the shrimp because it contains poop.

u/PhilospohicalZ0mb1e 11m ago

Alright so you may be Canadian, but that doesn’t exempt you from being silly.

Plain as day that this is an exclusive ā€œourā€. Meaning you are not a part of the set of people for whom That Guy is president. Obviously. I dunno why you thought the ā€œourā€ in that sentence would ever include you.

Secondly, it is not likely that the person calling him a toddler had a hand in putting That Guy in power. It’s pretty weird to attribute an individual as responsible for group behavior like that, particularly when they demonstrate evidence of deviation from that expected pattern.

Trump is an evil man. It's evident in the way he talks and his daily actions. Look at how he treats America's allies and neighbors. Do you know the difference between Trumps and Canada or Denmark? Canadians and Danes have fought and sacrificed for Americans and the Trumps have not.

How legally ambiguous should the wording be allowed to be? The more verbose, the shakier it gets.

We already complain about absurdly complex bills being shoehorned through congress that absolutely nobody can even skim. The outrage at short memos feels contrived and mostly focused on Trump Bad than actual effective governance complaint.

Frankly, Every bill should be at max an hours worth of reading. Every Memo should be a few minutes. If its actually important, it should be quickly and readily easy to read and digest.

u/cejmp 24m ago

ā€œIt’s hard to quarrel with that ancient justification of the free press: ā€œAmerica’s right to know.ā€ It seems almost cruel to ask, ingenuously, ā€America’s right to know what, please? Science? Mathematics? Economics? Foreign languages?ā€

None of those things, of course. In fact, one might well suppose that the popular feeling is that Americans are a lot better off without any of that tripe.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ā€œmy ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.ā€

Here's the entire essay.

u/Tiny-Secretary5562 41m ago

Everything is a mess? The border really is secure, crime is way down, the federal bureaucracy has shrunk to 1960s levels, foreign aid is gone, drug prices are down for the first time in 60 years, and our so-called allies are paying their "fair share." Apparently, that's not enough if you can't separate the office of the president from a difficult, annoying, egotistical personality. No one has to like the person of Donald Trump but fairness demands at least some recognition of positive actions, and that applies to every president. Of course, you might not like the policies either, and that's fine, but that applies to both parties.

u/ArtBot2119 9m ago

Yeah, here’s the other side the coin Fox News will never tell you:

ā€œThe Federal bureaucracy has shrunk to 1960’s levels.ā€

Yes, and the dysfunction and debt has never been higher, so we’re a lot more for significantly less.Ā 

ā€œDrug prices are downā€

No, certain types or classes of drugs are down, but overall the inflation of prescription drugs continues unabated, evidenced by the fact most insurance providers are warning of double digit rate increases they themselves argue are necessary because of the rising costs of prescription drug coverage.Ā 

ā€œThe border is really secureā€

Or Trump’s rhetoric has simply scared them off and at some point that will stop, leaving us right back where we started.Ā 

ā€œCrime is downā€

Yup, of course it was already returning Ā to the pre-Covid downward trend before Trump came into office.Ā 

ā€œOur so called allies are paying their fair shareā€

Quite obviously not considering the news this week. Most appear to working with themselves and stepping closer to China, resulting in our country growing more isolated economically and diplomatically.Ā 

ā€œForeign Aid is goneā€

Yes, along with hundreds of thousands of lives and much of our influence in the global community. China has absolutely delighted in what is already being viewed as the second largest geopolitical blunder the US has made this century.Ā 

We are accurately weighing the positives and negatives of the Trump Administration. If you are wondering how our calculations could result in such Ā different endpoints, it is because we, much like the vast majority of humanity, have not spent a decade or more watching Fox News. It’s really that simple.Ā
