>large wonderbread sticker on the hood
This is so retarded that I'm convinced you're telling the truth.

@bigtiddyoneesan
I think it might’ve been a magnet but it’s still retarded regardless.

Anyways, Autism Speaks and it loves busty blonde women who drive Hummers, engage in deforestation and purchase Wonder Bread as their grain of choice.

Don't diss wonderbread, it makes a good semi adhesive paste.

 

[readingsit]

in other news screw kathleen cassidy or whatever her name is for lighting the starwars franchise aflame because the fans dont like her social justice crap. just watched a video on how she was the reason for gina's firing

Instead of bombing the Middle East (“Thanks” Biden), why can’t we sic the international community on the Communist Terrorists and Abu Sayyaf in and around the Philippines? It’d be like a smaller, hopefully simpler and easier Vietnam with a few “Jihadists” thrown in for good measure.

I feel like there may be an obvious answer, but I haven’t got the time to brush up on Filipino politics with all the nonsense going on here in America.

 

[Hornyturtle]

They aren't bombing the middle east because they hate terrorists, hell America is one of the largest funders of terrorism.

And that's just scratching the surface, so now you have to ask, why are they bombing the middle east? @cyanhide

Depending on whether or not our very own cherokee princess (which is weird because not only is princess a gendered term for women, yet she claims to be non-binary and not only were cherokee royalty not really a thing as Chiefs were more advisers, but also "Cherokee princess" arose from a misconception rather than actual royalty.) has blocked us all yet, we'll have to see.

If she mentions wonderbread, we'll know she reads our comments.

@Hornyturtle

The war with syria is an excuse basically to get an oil pipeline to Europe so Russia doesn't have such a big monopoly. Fucking oil.

 

[readingsit]

his decision to shut down the keystone pipeline will cause gas prices to soar so high the democrat party will have no chance in the upcoming elections so biden has to go after the middle east to take enough oil to offset his stupid ideologies policy effects

 

[CyanHide]

@Hornyturtle I’ll give those YouTube links a click later, but you remind me of something that aged poorly in a movie
>This film is dedicated to the brave Mujahideen fighters of Afghanistan

Of course, I’m willing to make a guess at the answer to the last question you pose. May it perhaps have something to do with profiting off of the military industrial complex through the perpetuation of armed conflict?

@wowfucktron
First, what the fuck?

@richman
It was a random thread on r/4chan. Murrlogic used to post his paranoid ramblings on r/4chan but eventually he just wouldn’t shut up and got banned from there.

 

[Halo]

@Tamerlane

I expect him to have about ~20% approval by March.

Well, there's always next March. ファイト！

 

[pandascepter]

@Halo
ファイト! While eating some chips.

 

[Halo]

@pandascepter I'm extremely enthusiastic.

Trump was ultimately a populist someone who promised things that he couldn’t possibly deliver in fact he has actively made things worse pandemic aside which I blame on him being skeptical about masks and attempting to act as a secondary expert on it. Before the 4th year of his term he hadn’t even gotten a gdp growth of 3 percent much less 4 percent each year. Unemployment had risen already 2 percent before the pandemic. He got us high speed internet by reclassifying it to only be 4g thereby meaning everyone already had high speed internet. We didn’t need to make stuff up trump was simply that bad that we all refused to believe it half was true. Also you know that fund for his defense team? Yeah read the fine print you aren’t helping him defend himself legally your just giving him money.

 

[readingsit]

@immortalartisan
while trump is a bloviating fool his original claim was

"I believe it's time to establish a national goal of reaching 4% economic growth,"

if he said that he would achieve it every year that thats an example of him being a bloviating fool. but his original claim was achieved despite everyone insisting it was impossible.
impossible example with quote:

oops he succeeded:

before the pandemic the unimployment was at a low of 3.6 and a high of 4.0 which is the lowest in the last 19 years:

https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm

and after an easy search i found the trump admin dumped million upon millions getting high speed internet into and i quote "unserved and underserved" areas Jan 08 16M, Oct 23 37M, Oct 07 11.8M, Oct 21 20M, Jan 07 4.6M. in my opinion this was an enormous waste of taxpayer dollars but your claiming that all he did was reclassify high speed internet? thats doesnt seem to be the case

 

[Tamerlane]

@immortalartisan

That's not true, at least on the economic front. I'll check the other claims later.

Trump saw the lowest unemployment rate across the nation before the pandemic hit.

For comparison, the natural rate of employment (structural unemployment and frictional unemployment) is 4-6%, whereas Trump had an unemployment of 3.5% as of Feburary of last year, with unemployment rising in March of last year at 4.4%, meaning that it was entirely within the natural rate of employment, and Trump actually oversaw a little bit of overemployment.

https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm

As for GDP growth, Trump oversaw about an average amount of GDP growth compared to the other years with it about 2-3%. (Compare: Obama's previous term had an average of 2.825 after a first term of 0.975, Trump had an average pre-covid growth of 2.5, so it very similar to what Obama oversaw, though neither can really take credit for it because of how decentralized the system is.)

@Halo

Mate, he just bombed Syria. His approval rating consistently is decreasing over time and all I see from people who voted for Biden is regret. He has about 33% who strongly support him.

I was wrong about my expectations, don't get me wrong, but he's already doing an atrocious job and expect us to go back to the Bush Era in all but name.

[Halo]

@Tamerlane Yeah, but do you think his approval will drop to 20% by next March?

 

[wowfucktron]

@halo
I don’t think he’ll go lower than Carter (28%).
He’ll hover around low 30% but the spin on Biden’s approval will be unbearable.

“Do we really need approval ratings?”
“Math is racist and you are too if you think Biden’s numbers are real.”
“Using this newly asspulled method, we can clearly see that this makes orange man bad.”
