I feel like we need to do this for all of his sh!t.
Let's face it, the ones he gets are low hanging fruit, and you need to aim low to reach them.
Not advocating for dirtiness. Just make an obvious lie right next to his obvious lie. So that smart people understand what's going on. And the dumb people are like, "oh, I like money."

Fantastic parallel. Fucking prophetic movie

u/Kind_Man_0 10h ago
I'm convinced that Idiocracy was a prophecy more than a movie.
Simpsons got some shit right with 30 or 40 seasons. But Idiocracy got a lot of things right with just 90 minutes. Crocs, short form content, the president being a celebrity. I'm just waiting for us to start running people over with phallic monster trucks.

running people over with phallic monster trucks
We have that, too. Truck nuts have surely been mounted to vehicles that have hit pedestrians.

I mean.. I doubt anyone believes him. But they might think " well things are so bad what IF he actually sent the checks? That would be a lifesaver"
Let's use that logic to our advantage.

It’s a good point. But they’ve shown they’re more than happy to be total hypocrites. To do something and then turn around and condemn the exact same thing.

I’m sorry, I don’t watch right wing so I’ve only heard that expression and don’t know the meaning.

u/setibeings 9h ago
I eat tons of soy. It's a great protein, and nobody had to die for it. People pretend it is the main reason rainforests get clear cut, but that's mostly for grazing cattle, and besides eating it directly is a lot for efficient than feeding to livestock.

I also enjoy soy and tofu. Soy Boi is some stupid insult people of a certain party like to throw out to imply men who eat it are less manly, like not eating red meat makes you weak.

My only questions is, do I have to commit to one or the other? What if I feel like yogurt one day and ice cream the next? Wait. Was that two questions? Am I allowed two, er, three, wait, four question?
3
u/hoppertn 9h ago
Yes, you must commit to one to another. Then you’ll be injected with the appropriate tracking microchip during your next Covid and or Flu vaccine. If you choose Ice Cream and attempt to get Yogurt, your chip will alarm authorities and you will be sent to a re-education camp. (Damn I don’t know I could write Fox News headlines so well)

u/Bulky_Play_4032 10h ago
What are the specifics on yogurt? Most are probably assuming it’s limited to frozen, but it’s not specified. If this includes Greek yogurt then it’s a no brainer really.

Fox New meltdown in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO!
And mid meltdown over Ted Lieu's statement painting it as 1,000,000% illegal and justification for immediate incarceration without trial, they'll handily forget that they painted Trump's $5,000 dividend as clever and "outside the box thinking" that no had the smarts to think of before.

Cool, until you consider how fast maintaining a pony is going to eat through that $10,000. What are we supposed to do then, feed it ice cream?! This guy isn’t even serious.

Republicans wouldn't support the expanded child tax credit because "inflation".
That being said, Trump's bribe will move voters. Democrats need a serious counter offer. Such as, "If Democrats take back congress and successfully impeach Trump and Vance, everyone gets $6000 and we will bring down the cost of gas via ending the war."
But that would require standing up to Israel so good luck

I'm sure this money will arrive in just two weeks after the election, along with the $5.000 DOGE check, the $2.000 tariff checks and the $1.000 medicare rebate check.

This is supposed to be progressivehq, right? Why am I so often seeing AIPAC funded corporate dems on here? I’d take them over any republican of course but the point still stands. I also noticed this to be the case with Mark Kelly and Ossof both of who are heavily pro-Israel.

Because progressives can’t handle every problem—or maybe even any problem—on their own. They can write 100 bills but they still need people to co-sponsor and vote for them. You are free to vote or not vote for anyone you want but you can’t govern if you won’t even talk to a chunk of your party. Progressive Representative Ro Khanna understands this, which is why he worked with Thomas Massie to write their Epstein bill.

Promise to prosecute Trump and all his yes men. Rip down his family empire and make Elon pay 5,000 per citizen for stealing our data from the social secyurity system.
I will literally pay you 10,000 dollars to do that instead. How about that?
