His response is a fucking sentence fragment with no meaning without a bending of English syntax and heavy context.

[–] Nobody@anarchist.nexus 49 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That’s “The Weave.” It’s what the PR people came up with for word salad from an addled mind.

They concoct some idiotic explanation for why Trump acts the way he acts, and it goes straight into the zeitgeist as true through the unquestioning corporate media.

Christ, and i thought they were talking about his hair 😅

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

A weave is attached to remnants of real hair. There's no fucking way there's any real hair coming out of that head unless it's his eyebrows, ears or nose.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

He knows if he speaks like he's on meth he'll identify with conservative voters.

Why start grammar checking him now? He's never been able to speak. That was his last three brain cells firing wildly into a sea of soup.

Kinda wish this was back when medical reasearchers robbed graves for cadavars cause I doubt his brain will be volentarily donated to science.

Still waiting in that DOGE check. Wasn't that supposed be a few thousand as well?

They did send out tariff checks, to massive corporations who made record profits

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And the 2nd covid check.

Well, not me personally, I live in a somewhat more functioning country.

[–] Papazoo@piefed.ca 1 points 4 days ago

So do I, but they asked for my covid cheque back. Seems I went back to work too quickly. All the while I thought I was applying for employment insurance.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not versed in US law, so this is mostly rambling. Couldn't ypu intepret the promise of DOGE checks to be a promise of a gift meaning a legally binding transfer of ownership? If so, how about you sue POTUS for the Doge checks? And while you are at it how about you make it a class action?

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Politicians make worthless promises all the time. Nothing canbe done about it.

[–] FluorideMind@lemmy.world 40 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Literally bribing the poor and stupid for votes. Can we get rid of this clown already?

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is it a bribe if he never pays out? 🤔

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 11 points 4 days ago

He has concepts of a bribe.

[–] Fawkes@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Honestly? No, probably not without...

They're already planning to rig every election, so even if they lose it's unlikely they'll leave. And even if some one did the deed Vance isn't any better, and the entire admin is stocked with lunatics.

You guys are kinda fucked tbh.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah, even if they ever had a normal executive branch again (which i doubt - the US is currently speedrunning the process Russia went through after the USSR collapsed. On paper, Russia is a country with democratic institutions and free votes too), the supreme court is still stacked with bribeable republican stooges with questionable morals.

[–] Ricaz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

Even in Denmark, the least corrupt country in the world, the government did something similar for votes.

It was a much lower amount and masked as a supplement for increasing food prices, but still principally the same.

[–] Z745812939054@lemmy.zip 33 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

of course it's a problem that he's lying, but the infinitely bigger problem is that millions of people will 100% believe it and bank their entire family's (not to mention everyone else's family's) future on it

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 22 points 4 days ago

I’m afraid so many people are going to buy into this bullshit.

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No one is talking about the math. 5k per tax payer, approx 200M tax payers, is 1 trillion more debt

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Remember when conservatives still pretended to be fiscally conservative?

[–] h_ramus@piefed.social 19 points 4 days ago

But those are gubberment handouts, THAT'S SOCIALISM!! [unintelligible screeching of maga brains]

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The ~~Pickleman~~ Orangeman tricked me again...

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

He's leaning into a winning strategy for himself: lie about something that obviously you aren't going to do, and then lie some about something else you'll definitely do 😉 to distract from the fact that you didn't deliver on the last thing (or really anything).

It's a sign of very stupid times that Elon Musk basically runs the exact same conman mechanism and has used it to great business success, while Trump was a loser in business that didn't really make serious money until he started presidenting.

People just don't keep track of all of the broken promises...and I can't blame all of them, some of us have jobs.

This guy has "promised" about doing hundreds or thousands of things for "America" and delivered on single digits of those "promises".

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Trump wants to start with UBI! /s

Universal Basic Bribe

[–] QueenHawlSera@piefed.social 11 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I worry the centrists will believe it and vote accordingly

[–] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Upvoted purely for vim knowledge.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago

centrists dont watch fox, its for the pleb, conservatives boomers voters

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 10 points 4 days ago

Definitely not a bribe ..

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

$2,500 now, $2,500 if you win. Surely no problem.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago

faux news losing to outlets like newsmax, and oan, so they have to seem like they are both sides.

[–] openchan@piefed.social 9 points 4 days ago

I hope that stupid nazi bitch is smart enough to realize she fucked up right then and there

(but she won't because that requires introspection and shame)

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

He won't make the checks and then he will say he just saved a trillion dollar that can now be use for taxe cuts for the rich. Art of the dealing with a population of undereducated, my friends.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I need a poorly drawn dump truck full of "fell for it again awards"

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

"He fooled us 6 times..then..we got smart"

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

In a way you did get checks, just not the kind of monetary value.

easy. there's no executive order~ he can't do it~

[–] oyzmo@piefed.social -2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Inflation - dollar vale will do a rather nasty crash
