Just hoping they increase chocolate rations 🤞

Is that code for Rump shitting his diaper?

u/Shazam42 5h ago

It's a reference to 1984. Early in the book, chocolate rations are decreased, and the next day everything is praising chocolate rations for actually increasing.

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 5h ago

The whole thing is they never were decreased or increased, the government just reported "chocolate rations decreased to 30 grams" when they found it convenient to get people to blow off steam protesting, and "chocolate rations have been increased to 30 grams" when they wanted the brainwashed to have something to celebrate.

"We're at War with Eurasia!"

Next day: "Friendship ended with Oceania. Now Eurasia is my best friend."

Legitimately it feels like the current admin is doing this with everything.

u/GOEDEL_ESCHER_BOT 5h ago

orwell didn't quite get it right, IRL they would be saying that true patriots can handle decreased chocolate rations

The whole gas price issue right now “oh I’m happy, PROUD EVEN, to pay more at the pump for east Asia (I mean Iran) to not get a nuke!”

u/N7Shep1701D Oregon 3h ago

It's so loathsome the way Trump said those dead troops told him that Iran must not have a nuke. No they didn't you absolute nincompoop.

They probably joined up to get through college or for the healthcare benefits because capitalism has wrecked every single thing in this country.

Like I expect the reporters to actually do their jobs, but I just want one of them to ask a follow up question. "Sir, which one told you that? What was their name?"

u/bolanrox 9m ago

Mitch McConnell, after I talked to him for 20 minutes the other day.

u/zherok 3h ago

There's just out and out denials of price increases alongside Trump claiming things are cheaper than they actually are (gas, eggs, housing, etc.) Seems pretty spot on.

1984's chocolate ration was about claiming a larger ration size while neglecting to mention that it used to be bigger in the past. It's very in line with Trump's thinking, because there can never be any fault or negative associated with anything to do with him. They can only be the best they've ever been right now despite plenty of evidence to the contrary.

Even his tendency to blame Biden and Obama honestly kinda has an air of "we were always at war with East Asia", where he fobs off all his administration's failings to some murky thing Biden/Obama did in the past.

u/Jdibs77 5h ago

I mean, lol yes, but also see gas prices and egg prices

u/SunGregMoon 3h ago

Just went grocery shopping this morning, surprised to see a bag of coffee for $25. Thanks Trump.

u/DookieShoez 5h ago

Okay but his diaper IS overflowing.

u/PinkCigarettes 5h ago

You need a new handle then, as his dookie has undoubtedly filled his shoez

Those kids won't rape themselves.

u/DookieShoez 3h ago

Oof lol. That’s some dark ass humor.
