"look I know groceries and gas are expensive right now, and that's affecting 99% of you poors negatively. But you can fuck off, poors. If Democrats get into power we will have to accept trans people, which affects none of you negatively. Surely you can understand why you must starve."

Yeah, you shouldn't worry about the little things like food, shelter, transportation, and healthcare. We have bigger issues to tackle as a nation, like one trans kid being on a highschool sports team; you know, the big "purpose of government" stuff.
he admits his own administration needs more time
You know what? If I was very generous and very naive, I might just buy this narrative.
But here's the thing: his boss promised to lower prices from day one, and that was one of the many hard promises he made that even the most mentally incompetent MAGAt knows full well were flat-out lies by now - if they needed convincing before the election.
Fool me once...
Fool me twice… you cant get fooled again.
W can die in a fire but I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t rather listen to audio of all the stupid shit he ever said on repeat for a year than hear another sentence come out of trumps stupid fucking face again
Dubya was supposed to be the dumbest president ever. Trump is so much worse, and happened so quickly after W’s term. It’s a bit shocking until you realize who actually wields the levers of power in American government: the rich/corporations. They control it all, including for whom we get to “vote” in the first place. POTUS being a useful idiot is quite beneficial for them.
At least dubya’s stupid was kinda funny and he did much more entertaining shit, the shoe dodge is something even at my most vitriolic I can’t take away from him. That shit was hilarious
the dipshit may be a stupid motha' but he's got some not-so-stupid, and even more greedy, power hungry, and evil people whispering in his ear, dangling the big mac, and pulling strings when needed, to achieve their goals.
They keep getting stupider. Maybe with the exception of Poppy Bush. Ronnie Raygun was a dipshit, too. Then W was dumber. And donnie is dumber than that.
That was the dumb fascism era. We're at the pedophile fascism stage now.
that even the most mentally incompetent MAGAt knows full well were flat-out lies by now
That's putting a LOT of confidence in them that they haven't earned
Vance tells Americans not to ‘gripe about all the little things’ as prices soar…
he admits his own administration needs more time
more time behind bars!
If the MAGA crowd critically evaluated his promises he never would have been President, certainly not a second time.
"needs more time" to complete the total fascist takeover of the government, complete the upward transfer of wealth leaving the masses with nothing but debt, complete the establishment of the surveillance state, finish shredding of what remains of any rights people have.....
What is especially stupid is that in a lot of cases, it is rather hard to point at something an admin has done to raise the cost of everything and make an honest case for that. Though Republicans and reactionary centrists will do it all the time for Democrats.
In the case of this administration they seem to be doing everything possible to do that and it's working.
Rich tell poor to suck it up. This ain't news, it's the way of life for the world ever since factories were invented.

Le secret des grandes fortunes sans cause apparente est un crime oublié, parce qu’il a été proprement fait.
The secret of great fortunes with no apparent cause is a forgotten crime, because it was neatly committed.

"...the little things..."

Damn we got Diesel No. 2 before Mambo No. 6
Vance claimed that his opponents wanted to block Republicans from ever winning elections again and “transform” America, citing such issues as acceptance of transgender Americans.
Oh noes not FREEDOM anything but that
Gaslight
Obstruct
Projection
It really is the same thing every time with these corrupt losers, isn't is? Yes, it's everyone else obsessed with trans people and what's in their pants, not Republicans. It's certainly not Conservatives persecuting immigrants and LGBTQ folks, instead of addressing actual issues. Couldn't be the Grand Old Party chasing AI dollars by building environment-destroying data centers to suck up all our water and personal info. How could it have been Republicans that started a pointless war and drove up prices on gas and food for everyone!? Who's actually focused on the "little things" of culture war bullshit while workers suffer??
Meanwhile, the President is obsessed with vanity projects like ballrooms, arches, and national monuments, while illegally enriching himself and his billionaire friends... The corruption is on full display with these incompetent fools.
You know. The little things. Like gas prices. Grocery prices. Housing prices. Trump is a pedophile. Trump is named more in the Epstein files than god in the bible. Trump is a rapist. Trump is a convicted felon. Kash is down with beastiality. Vance is a drunken moron. You know, just the little things.
Little things like the escalating costs of food, clothing & shelter, the basic necessities of life, those little things?
What an irredeemable piece of shit. Let them eat cake indeed. Fuck this guy.
Forgive me, but I'm just gonna be vulgar for a moment. My partner and I are well off. I don't usually like to mention it, but I will in this context. We were discussing our ability to absorb the price increases pretty easily and how we feel not a shred of compassion for the maga shitheads who experience financial precarity because of how they voted. Fuck 'em.
On the other hand, I feel bad for their children who didn't choose to have groceries become less accessible, their education shat upon, and the same with every other way those kids get hurt by their stupid parents' bad politics.
And that's saying nothing of all the good people who didn't invite this upon themselves and tried to prevent it from happening but suffer just the same. I hope for the least harm to be visited upon people who didn't do this to themselves. And the most for those that cheered for it. (I normally only want good things for people, but I take this moment to give in to my anger a bit.)
The only price increase that I can't absorb is computing right now. I bought a server when I started college after the military, expecting to be on some kind of refresh cycle; ECC DDR5 is unobtanium for me on my pay. Hard drives are also so expensive I have to put NAS plans on hold.
How big is the kid fucking and treason?
"The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all."
Though GK Chesterton was himself a conservative and a bit of a tool, once again he's the man for the quote. Vance and his handlers fear the bill for their crimes. I have little faith they'll pay it, but they're desperate to prevent that risk entirely.
"JD Vance, Vice President to President Trump, man who incessantly gripes about every minor slight, real or imagined, tells americans to not gripe about legitimate issues"
None of you in this thread get it. Did any of you even say thank you?
Wait, isn't this the guy who couldn't gripe about the little things well, and screwed it up?
Yes, yes it is.
Vance claimed that his opponents wanted to block Republicans from ever winning elections again
So basically what the reds are trying to do to the Democrats very literally right now?
Exactly. Statements like that give them the rationalization to do anything they want, because they're just leveling the playing field after Democratic cheating, even if there's no evidence of Democratic cheating.
The sociopaths have made thier Vision Board, now they just wait for The Secret effect to kick in.
It's either okay to cheat or not okay. You can't "the other guy did it" and expect to be taken seriously. In the real world at least. In fantasy land amerikkka, it's just par for the course.
The “you, not me” attack being normalized will be the downfall of civilization.
People who value the truth and experience empathy and instinctively do critical thinking cannot tolerate life under these conditions indefinitely.
Everything will break down.
Vance can suck a shitty but hair
They must be very confident in their plans to retain power.
It's pretty stunning how during the campaign they were like, "OMGWTF eggs cost a dollar more! Fucking revolution now!" And now they're like, "Fuck you wimps for complaining about five dollar gas, you ungrateful little shits."
What about all the big things? Things like the fact that Trump is a pedophile?
Why does Vance have a voice? He should be attending book clubs and funerals in his role as VP. Is he griping about us complaining about his useless, no good, degenerate boss?
How strict are we on the Lemmy.world instance in terms of what we can say?
Because I'm gonna express what I'm thinking in one way or another, it's just a matter of how bluntly I can say it on a regular basis.
I think it is against policy and morally wrong to suggest Vance should choose to staple his scrote to a wooden structure and self immolate, if that's what your asking.
Vote the fucking MAGA weasels out of office. Release the damn Epstein Files and end the stupid war against Iran.
He's RIGHT! It's a SMALL Price to Pay!
-People with KAMALA = HIGH PRICES signs in Their Yard!
It certainly feels like we’re treated as peasants like they are in those movies where the king and royalty just treat everyone beneath them like shit. We’re just rabble to be mocked, fodder for the peerage’s disposal. Except you know, unlike real life, in the movie the bad guys get it in the end.
Americans dying of a thousand paper cuts.
JD: "Quit whining. They're just tiny cuts. You haven't even said thank you for the paper. No, you can't have a bandaid."
Trouble is, almost zero of those successes are for the benefit of the public, and almmost all only benefit Trump and his class.
"The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose." - James Baldwin
These idiots really believe they have power. Can't wait for the tipping point.
When was the last time that JD Vance went hungry because he couldn't afford food?
The White House’s great communicator? Lol.
lets not gripe and kick all of them out and jail them no pardons allowed in fact lets remove that power completely.
Cool. Now if the Murc's Law Media would just take up things like this and endlessly repeat them.
What "JD" here is doing is deeply tone-deaf, for real. The moral scolds of the Murc's Law Media kept getting the vapors anytime anyone even thought to be associated with the Biden administration would point out the good aspects of the economy in 2024...I guess we'll see if the tone police talk about the Republicans nearly as much as they did for Democrats.
