[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

He announced the White House will be hosting a UFC fight next year does that count

[-] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

me personally, im just sick of unknowingly injecting migrant caravan-laced fentanyl

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah same. I need my fentanyl to be all American home grown made with gasoline, asbestos and coal ash.

You'll end up in Gator-rehab!

the new distraction seems to be UFC fight being hosted on white house grounds.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

at first it was the iran bombing, followed by the pulling out of ukraine arms, and than israels faux ceasfire. and whatever happened to the la protest and raids in the news, it was dropped like a few weeks ago. probably another ound of Tariff distraction.

the ultimate goal was to pass the bbb without much public backlash, using all the above distractions.

right now the distraction of the day is : UFC fights being hosted at the WHITE HOUSE.

We should buy Greenland incoming lol

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Who can we drop a bomb on next?

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 47 points 11 months ago

No he's not. Remember when he said the idiot who signed the trade agreement messed up, then people pointed out it was he himself who signed it, and he didn't care, and his cult didn't care, and then he did the next stupid shit and everyone stopped taking about that stupid shit? He doesn't care, he'll never care, he'll shit his pants, eat it, call it captain gravy on live TV, then say ''fake news'' and not care, and his cult won't care, and then he'll fuck a dead squirrel on live TV and everyone will stop talking about him eating shit.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 11 months ago

MSMs is totally complicit into doing this, the root of it all was the BBB, they did this the first time they did the tax cuts, distracts with the net neutrality bs, and everyone was tired of it by then, so no pushback.

[-] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 37 points 11 months ago

"savage polling", when has he ever given a shit about media coverage or public opinion. It hasn't stopped him at all.

[-] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 32 points 11 months ago

This latest disconnect is just solidifying his legacy as a Heritage Foundation puppet. He doesn't know what's in this bill and he doesn't care. He just knows his masters have told him it's good.

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago

Hope he chokes to death.

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 16 points 11 months ago

And why wouldnt he? After all, he wont be running for election again; either he doesnt manage to cancel the normal electoral process and isnt eligible, or does, and therefore doesnt actually need to run the risk of losing by making it fair enough to potentially lose. The only reason for him to care about popularity is ego, so if just insisting to himself and others that his decisions are popular is enough to convince himself of it, he will.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Somehow he seems to have gotten all too many people to believe things that fly in the face of reality, just by repeating it

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 11 months ago

also using russia firehose of falsehood.

[-] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 months ago

Like that fuck-wit cares what anyone thinks about his bullshit bill...

[-] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 11 points 11 months ago

The Orange Turd has taken a shit on the American people. People will die and hospitals will close and grandma will be sent to live on the street. Great work MAGAts.

[-] regedit@feddit.online 9 points 11 months ago

But it will take long enough to happen that the goldfish-brained MAGA voters will still swallow his and the GOP's shit like it's some newly dropped flavor. It's fucking sad and pathetic, really.

[-] Philote@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

Worse yet this bullshit will still be baring its rotten fruit through next election cycle, and the fly brained public will run right back into the same window that blasted them in the face and blame the opposition party.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Even if the shit happened immediately his followers wouldn't care.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

He's already IN. He doesn't care about polls any more. Maybe don't sit it out on smug virtue the next time.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Invasion in Chicago coming soon!

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 1 points 11 months ago

Does that mean he didn’t get the provisions allowing him to cancel elections through?

[-] lastunusedusername2@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

Does that matter?

He just does what he wants and no one stands up to him.

[-] regedit@feddit.online 3 points 11 months ago

I don't know. Most seemed so focused on the healthcare stuff that I'm really hoping it was removed entirely. Otherwise, healthcare cuts for 17-million is a pin prick of pain compared to what is coming!
