Well, at least Trump’s making bank. Big time.
Maybe y’all should just work harder.
/s!!!
Enjoy the day you voted for…
“ To hear nature in a sawmill instead of machines… for any lumberman, that’s unnatural. I don’t want to sound overly dramatic, but it’s as unsettling as watching a loved one take their final breath.”
This guy is blubbering over the fact that he can hear the birds in his shop. He thinks that’s akin to someone in his family dying. Were it coming from any other person it would be “snowflake soy boy” behavior.
Though since his family is just as important as his shop, if he brings one of the younger girls to trump, he might be able to do a little tradie-poo with him.
It’s all enormously pathetic.
What does a lumber mill import so much of that tariffs causes it to shut down? -If they’re importing raw wood, then that just seemed irresponsible to start with.
Yeah. That’s eastern NC for you. Where this place is at, not a lot of job opportunities either. The paper mill is about it.
This is also in an area where the local restaurants have nothing but newsmax on the tvs.
Should I care, because I don’t.
That’s a shame. ANYWAY . . .
You think Democrats are any different? Lmao.
They’re the same team my guy, billionaires.
Fuck right off with the “both sides” BS. Yes, they have some awful similarities, but only one side has tRump selling the country for personal profit.
One is complaining, one is complaining about something they did to themselves. Lmao
Right wing ideology is literally killing America
I think the megabrained “both sides are the same” take is just a form of “centrism by action”. Only a handful of republicans signed the discharge petition on epstein, for instance.
If 95% of one party wants to protect things everybody recognizes as crimes and the other is 100% against them then idk what to tell you except one side is willing to violate every law and constitutional amendment to fuck you over.
The other will make rich people panic so hard they’ll spend tens of billions of dollars buying up media companies to posture them against even a milktoast democrat. Media companies aren’t directly profitable.
One side is owned fully by billionaires.
The other side is just owned enough to not be able to make a difference, but seem like they are trying.
And you don’t see how ‘seem like they are trying’ while the other team builds up facism means they are working together?
If you are okay with one Nazi in the room, there are two Nazis in the room.
Of course they are, but its only the bribed ones at the top.
At least the democratic party has people who are actually trying to fight for the people.
but when so much of the republican party is owned, they unfortunately only need to own a very small percentage of the democratic party to control everything.
True but democrats pretend there’s nothing they can do they don’t actively make our lives worse.
Clinton gutted welfare and his administration also oversaw the repeal of the Glass-Steagull act. Obama and Biden built the cages that house many of the immigrants currently. Biden was the self-declared tough-on-crime senator that gave harsh sentences for drug violations while also being one of the architects of the current student debt situation. Democrats pretend, but all too often that’s all they do.
Pretending they can do nothing while they watch you get fucked is actively making your life worse.
You realize the takeaway form this is people know he’s a rapist and still support their king right?
40% approval rating btw
It gets worae, they supoort him raping their daughters
“What if a liberal raped your daughters?”
conservatives will overlook rapist/SA/Child abuse if it gets thier rocks off on culture war issues, plus many supporters are often the above mentioned themselves, or have predilections towards the deviancies.
“The government you elect, is the government you deserve.”
People suck. I’ve always said this.

It’s kind of annoying that 51 people lost their jobs to tariffs and they only write an article about the rich guy at the top of the family empire. But I’m sure that the 50 other families’ quests for food and shelter and medicine were pretty boring compared with the breakage of the boss’s money-generating machine he inherited.
Granted, he is the one who most deserves the leopardsatemyface recognition.
They probably mostly voted for Trump too. But yeah, the rich guy gets the article.
he says his decision was knuckle-based. and he'd do it again
“I voted for Trump all three times. Yep. I did,” he admits. “But I literally was in the voting booth. And I rapped my knuckles and the Trump one hurt more, and that was the one that I voted for. Because it was just, it was so disgusting and, and I hate to say that, but that’s literally how I made that choice.”
Even after losing his business to Trump’s policies, he stands by his vote: “Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would’ve voted for President Trump again.”
His bottom statement is more relevant. He gave zero shits about policy, party, or politics, he was just focused on the people running.
One a black woman former prosecutor. One a corrupt white male felon.
He said he was always going to vote for the latter.Serves the dumb cunt right.
Wild. That’s fucking wild. I’m out here putting thought into my vote and this cunt is rattling his knuckles. We are cooked as a species.
Great filter here we come
Bet that guy has a big family and is well on his way to having great grandchildren from at least one wife
At yet, somehow, this guy’s vote is still Kamala’s fault. 🙄
Hungarian here, my mother’s boyfriend is still a Fidesz supporter after losing his business due to losing some tax exemptions. Long story short: it’s cheaper to run a single person LLC than to be self-employed, because our politicians in the nineties totally ate the propaganda, that “CEOs once were very hard working workers, just got promoted for their hard work to be CEOs”. He however did not had the money to save up for an LLC.
The biggest problem with voting is that each voter’s own choice has a huge externality relative to average personal consequences. So selfish people have an incentive to vote with their tribe and not put any further thought into it.
You’re being “irrationally” altruistic by actually considering multiple candidates. As bad as losing his business is, this schmuck was more afraid of being ostracized by his fascist peers.
Maybe not everyone does deserve and equal vote in a democracy actually. Or in the case of America his is literally worth more than mine because of where he lives -_-.
Even after losing his business to Trump’s policies, he stands by his vote: “Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would’ve voted for President Trump again.”
His brother Stephen agrees: “I don’t think I had a choice to vote any other direction.”>
This got me. I would put money on that he would vote for Trump again.
Jeebus! Even cockroaches learn over time. Magats truly are morons!
Yeah the logic always stuns me.
“If I vote for a Democrat they’ll probably take some of my money through taxes and I’ll be poor”
Trump wins and ruins their business, they lose all of their money.
“At least I’m not poor because of evil Democrat taxes”
They have truly been brainwashed. Whatever bad shit republicans do they still believe the Democrats must be worse, because the republicans told them so. Even though the republicans have provably been lying to them for years.
Many Trump supporters would like to consider themselves to be “devoutly religious” (the way the treat others says otherwise, but that’s beside the point). People who are “devoutly religious” have a tendency to take things they are told as gospel (pun definitely intended), regardless of how utterly illogical and detached from reality it may be. If the “right” person comes along, 100% of what is said will be believed 100% of the time. It’s something that RepubliCons have taken advantage of for years, and it’s something that is second nature to con artists like Trump and that Nigerian prince that won’t stop sending me gods damned emails.
Meh. So long as they say sorry to Magical Sky Mummy every Sunday, they can do whatever they fucking want to. Don’t look to the religious for examples of humanity and decency.
Yeah the logic always stuns me.
It shouldn’t. It’s very common on both sides of the aisle. Never heard “vote blue no matter who”? That term was coined and used by large swaths of non-Republicans who agreed to vote for someone they don’t agree with about everything. The fact is that it’s extremely rare for any voter to be 100% aligned with the views of the person they vote for.
Actually, if you think about it, isn’t it more selfish to change who you vote for based on how you personally are affected by their policies?
Yeah, but you don’t vote for Hitler unless you’re a cunt yourself!
Legitimately the point of democracy. Vote for your best interests. If the turn out is good and the majority vote for their own best interests, you end up with more good being done for the majority rather than a small subset of the population (Billionares)
Legitimately the point of democracy. Vote for your best interests.
I personally don’t disagree, but I’m just making the point that from what I’ve seen, it seems like the above virtue only exists for most people up until the moment the Other Person’s best interests don’t align with theirs, at which point they’re instantly considered scum for voting for their own interests.
…And the Left does the same thing.
Back in the day, a lot of folks couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Jimmy Carter because he wouldn’t take a strong stand on South African apartheid. We got ronald reagan who embraced embrace South Africa.
That’s not at all how that played out.
One, John Anderson ran as an independent in 1980, after losing the Republican primary. He had been a Republican until then. Early in that primary, he was a viable candidate for the nomination. He was initially likely to take more votes from Reagan than Carter.
Anderson supported the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), as well as an extension to the time for it to be ratified. The Republican party did not. Carter refused to debate Anderson; Reagan did not. On top of all that, at the time, the conventional wisdom was that Carter was a weak president, partially because of the still-imprisoned diplomats in Tehran, and a failed attempt to extricate them - which Carter took full responsibility for. This set of later circumstances probably took more votes from Carter. All that said, Reagan swept the popular vote by almost nine points, and took the electoral college handily.
Source: I was there.
If you’re going to put words in my mouth, please order a side of chips and salsa.
Show me where I said that was the only reason Carter lost.
Show me where I said you said that.
SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! 🤣
A human head weighs eight pounds.
He would have voted for Trump again, even if HE KNEW his business would go under?! Wtf are these people thinking? That’s some royal hate
It’s just good old brainwashing. They believe that voting for democrats will ruin their life so they vote for republicans and if republicans ruin their life then it’s bad luck.
Republicans don’t know how to think. All they know is what daddy tells them. lol
Idiots.
The “blind faith” demanded by religion has conditioned them to be the perfect marks for a con artist like Trump.
Yeah because they won’t lose a lumber mill this time.
Right?!
“I wish more of my bones were broken”
That’s the amazing part. No, not them saying they’d still vote for Trump. The fact that they can still talk with half their face gnawed off. I just wonder - was it because of the “any Democrat/leftist bad” mentality, was it because she was a woman, or what it because she was black? He said it wasn’t anything said on the campaign, so it wasn’t how badly they tanked her run. Maybe a combo?
If you’re going to pull that dead end thinking, then how about trying to change the Republican party to help the American public? (I initially said “better”, but we’re starting at zero)
He committed member of the Pedophile Protection Team (PPT), aka, Guardians Of Pedophiles (GOP).
50 jobs is not an empire.
“My empire of dirt” ? :)
Fucking moron.
