In September they wanted to send Joe Brandon to the Hague because a Denny's Grand Slam was going to cost an extra dollar and now right wing influencers are like "the pursuit of filthy lucre will never make you happy"

Only a matter of time before these guys open little Potemkin “factories” propped up with right wing cash to produce absolute garbage with sales that don’t even cover the cost of their sexual harassment settlements
I read an article today that said Ben Shapiro’s episode on Thursday or Friday was actually filled with economic common sense like, this is the worst idea in the world.
so even though Ben can’t get his wife aroused, he at least has the right idea abt tariffs.
like him and his pile of money (and his accurate analysis of the situation gives a shit what his comment section/twitter feed says.
he’s gonna lose money on this too, that’s what he cares abt, it’s deeply unpopular, and he has a large platform to air his grievances. this impacts him directly.
It’s going to be interesting to see how the various grifters navigate Trump materially hurting their audience in a way that can’t be ignored. Get out in front of it or double down and hope it turns around? It’ll be interesting to watch. Sike! it’ll just continue to suck shit regardless but whatevs
1. Serve self first
2. Are other big creators saying anything
3. Check the pulse of the audience. Is there an influx of anger and frustration? Is that becoming consistent?
4. Is any of that being directed towards me like i’m “out of touch”? If so, see # 1.
I see we’ve shifted away from the gospel of prosperity or is that just the gospel of prosperity for me and the rest of you should be grateful because you are closer to God - because you’re poor?
The good think is that for those who voted for him in rural areas, they could be successfully lied to about "destroyed cities" (which they don't visit) and "immigrant invasions" which couldn't be happening anywhere near them. But everyone has to buy groceries. Can't lie about what eggs cost.
There are guys way up in that ecosystem now who got their starts by making tens of thousands of hours of youtube content demanding more visible cleavage in video games who are now trying to say "buying things is weakness"
I don't even understand what they're getting at. Larry Kudlow does not mow his lawn. He pays someone to do it. Is there some moral imperative for him to do that for himself? What are they even talking about?
Only someone with no personality (but what is handed to them) or someone with a superpower (like Morph from the X-Men) could change core stances so quickly without batting an eye
Like routine year-long meltdowns over stuff like the latest $70 PlayStation game not letting you look up the main character's skirt. And in the last 48 hours they've become complete ascetics
Not a single one of my relatives on FB that whined and complained all during Biden's turn about their 401k, the price of gas, the price of eggs suddenly have nothing to say. So weird.
Yeah, man. Trump was always a natural ascetic trapped in a fat rich man's body. Look how hard he leaned into losing money and fucking up every business he ever ran.
And now he's gonna perform the same purification on the entire economy.
Someone got stabbed to death over a fucking Popeyes sandwich last November, the fact that we aren't already seeing the sacking of Rome - excuse me, DC - is frankly befuddling
Yeah, I just called my sister and she told me that “the Day Traders” just needed to settle down and recognize the “buying opportunity” & How Are Things On The Border” and yeah, it was a quick call.
These guys have no idea how long us olds have lasted without (Johnny) Cash, (Steve) Jobs, OR (Bob) Hope, they simply aren't ready. Odds also significantly worse that they lose (Kevin) Bacon.

Every single thing is a rotating set of mental gymnastics to preserve their social acceptance and advance their racism.

Dollar Tree directly imports a significant portion of its products, with a large percentage coming from China.
