Just to be clear, we pay the cost of tariffs on imports.
I just wish someone would ask Trump bluntly how tariffs work and who pays them
It's been done... The answer is something like... Tariffs, they're great aren't they? What a beautiful word, tariffs. Tariffs. It's terrible but also amazing. What they do for Americans will be great. We'll make America great again folks. And China will pay for them. China will pay the tariffs and America will be great again. Amazing. Everyone says the tariffs are great. The stock market maybe not so much for a day or two. But tariffs are great aren't they folks?
And call it whatever you want, it's a tax. It's a tax that Americans have to pay on foreign goods. A tax Republican tax.
So not only do they spend massively more than the Democrats, they also tax significantly more.
Spend and tax Republicans.
Use black plastic bag as packing materials but leave small holes for microbes to breathe!
Do not leave the holes. That way they won't know it smells bad until it gets opened
Swear on your fathers sardines.
On my father's sardines, I hope this becomes a phrase.
WE HAD A DEAL!!
Can I send a half eaten can of tuna that I left out in the sun for a week?
That's the point. Well done!
Can we not have AI slop be the normal for memes? It's not that difficult to make this.
Not difficult but takes time, whis is why most memes in history were just premade images with some text slapped on it
Stop complaining
Ofc being low effort is the way of the meme, however being snobbish about memes is peak internet culture too.
I'll be a snob. Not because it changes things but whining is cathartic. I'm not picking sides here, if you're team practical that's cool too.
Don't you have to pay for this?
Pay for what? Image generation is free (but usually limited) many places, and you can also run it for "free" (ignoring the negligible electricity cost) on your home computer if you want to

Stable diffusion is alright, but it's not very accessible, you can literally put stuff together in paint.
But this AI slop has recently started getting more prevalent (after the scam altman Ghibli trend shit) and this is most definitely the chatgpt AI slop.
I just don't want to support those corporate pieces of shit anymore than I have to.
I said it is free many places, but typically not fully featured or with a limited number of daily generations. They loose money if you use these free options so shouldn't you be advocating for their use?
There's also free tools that makes it easy to run it locally
Yes AI slop is getting more prevalent, so what? If someone can either create a meme in a minute using AI, or spend fifteen minutes making the same thing in paint, why do you think you can come and demand that they waste their time to do it the slow way?
Edit: you haven't posted a single meme on that account, open paint and be a good role model
This is at least more interesting to look at than the same comic panel with replaced text for the umpteenth time
Support consumerism, commission your memes
I mean you're the one paying the government tariff on the imported fish caught by Australian penguin.
And there's not much point dumping them into Boston harbour.
It’s a old siclian message, it means democracy sleeps with the fishes
Never heard of it, maybe it's from some old mafia movie?
So what's all this about penguin tariffs?

President Trump’s tariffs have spared almost no corner of the Earth. Even tiny, sparsely populated islands that export close to nothing.
Among the countries and territories listed on sheets of paper that were distributed to reporters in the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday were Heard Island and McDonald Islands, Australian territories near Antarctica where many penguins but no people live.
