IRS employee who voted for Trump doesn’t learn his lesson and is fired
That’s funny because I thought somebody who works at the IRS would have skills like reading comprehension and functional eyes.
I lost faith in the standards of our government employees after that one clerk was found to be repeatedly refusing to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples.
Kim Davis… I’m so proud she is from my state /s
It’s absurd that people think trump has any sort of “business acumen.” His business fail more often than they succeed. He’s been busted for fraud multiple times. Files for bankruptcy multiple times. Sued for failing to pay contractors hundreds of times. Banks refused to lend him money. His contemporaries call him the dumbest person they’ve ever met.
Filed for bankruptcy multiple times.
Some of these were even for his casinos. He couldn’t even get casinos right.
TV needed a star for a show and created a story that he was a great businessman. All the real successful businessman were busy, true story.
This is after borrowing millions from The Bank of Daddy. Without his parents wealth, he’d be nothing.
I would argue Trump has great business acumen for exactly the reasons you describe.
He’s a mobster who got rich off strong arming, manipulation, and fraud.
Stop assuming his incompetence at being an evil capitalist billionaire and maybe people will finally accept that he is a highly capable amoral danger to the world.
It’s absurd that people think trump has any sort of “business acumen.”
He played a successful businessman on a reality TV show. That’s it, that’s why people think he knows what he’s doing, because they evidently can’t tell the difference between fiction and reality.
That’s the thing he’s actually good at. Acting. Getting people to believe in fiction. It’s a good trait for an actor, a despicable power of conmen, and horrifying in a leader.
His contemporaries call him the dumbest person they’ve ever met.
Apparently they’ve never met his supporters.

“Government should be run as a business” means everybody has to do as you say because you’re the boss.
”Government should be run as a business” means people are getting fired just so the top can buy more yachts for themselves.

No reason?
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
Right?! My dude, bringing in a wrecking ball and ruining people’s lives is the reason. Trump isn’t a stable genius, he’s a geriatric lunatic who’s been given the keys to the asylum.
This being jpeged as fuck adds so much to this, and I fear it is not intentional.
I wish I could say I created this image, but alas, there are people more talented than me on the Internet. My head cannon says the amount of jpeg is intentional and definitely a highlight!
Well if you ever need to intentionally jpeg something there are plenty of tools available:

Business acumen? Neither the president nor trump have that
Yeah, they were both kinda born into it.
It has been said a million times, and it will be said again.
You -clap- voted -clap- for -clap- this!Aside from being brainwashed into MAGA he sounds like a solid dude. He saw a problem in his country and took it upon himself to try to fix it. Too bad he wanted leopards to eat his face
Lol, this is the best comment I’ve read all week. Thank you for giving me a good laugh, I needed it!
Though, I have realized that if you’re still a Trump supporter, you’re either ill informed or are a terrible person
I agree 100%. I kinda have to believe people like this can get better because I have good people in my family whose actions and political beliefs are entirely at odds with each other.
Same with friends. But it’s so hopeless trying to get through to them. I know their feeds are filled with “LIBERAL TEARS, IMMIGRANTS BECOMES MILLIONAIRE WITH FOOD STAMPS AND HERES WHY WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE ACTUAL VICTIMS” They see it on their YouTube. Their Twitter. Their Facebook. Their Instagram. Their FOX (self described non news “entertainment” channel) NEWS app. They’re getting hit with propaganda from everywhere, not even counting the decades of Fox that’s infected their family. They’re so incredibly misinformed and I don’t know what way to change their minds. Some times they’ll listen but it never sticks, probably the same way I do when they’re telling me how democrats actually set up any bad thing that happens.
Fox News was just full time repeating that the border was over run with Hispanic men running around and raping all the white women.
Take specific examples that they care about, prove that it is utter nonsense. Ask how they can still believe all the bullshit if all these examples are nonsense.
In the end, my receipts don’t matter. It’s fake news. The closest I can get is to make my points using FOX NEWS articles. But there’s often a shit ton of spin on those so I can’t get the really hard hitting facts across. Best example was my trumper friend saying that ICE is going after criminal immigrants and not the good, working ones. I linked the fox news article saying that the ICE commander said everyone’s on the chopping block. I was met with “No, no they can’t do that. They can’t do that. They won’t do that”. They literally live in their own made up reality where the rules are how they interpret them and not how they actually are. Even when their glorified party proves them wrong, time and time again.
God bless my buddy’s hearts. They’re good people but theyre actively getting corrupted and I’m trying at every chance I get to give them a different perspective.
This.
These people are not equipped to handle the cognitive dissonance of having their beliefs challenged. They will simply compartmentalize away any contradictions so they don’t have to think about it. If you try to force the issue they become vitriolic and refuse to engage with you any further, usually resorting to character defamation to label you as someone who is not trustworthy and can be readily disregarded.
They are usually Christians so using Bible versus right back at them and asking when they are going to divorce their spouses and cheat on them and pay for prostitutes and playing up when they decided they support authoritarian communists and where they keep their Russian flags is probably the route to go. They’ll love being labeled communiats and since when they started wanting to emulate the Chinese political system.
Facts, laws, and numbers don’t work on them. Comparing their values to the person they choose to worship is more likely to get them scrambling trying to excuse behavior that isn’t Christian like.
Fuck the Murdoch dynasty, all of them. Knowing that people I care about have spent decades watching a 4-hour evening infomercial for fascism is brutal.
The USA is literally threatening to invade most of its closest allies. Fuck anyone who’s ill informed
“I didn’t realise we were going to invade Poland :0”
“Actually you forgot Poland.”
George W. BUSH
Fine tooth comb lmao.
I remember listening to a news podcast and I don’t recall if it was an idea if GOP, heritage, musk, bolsonaro (who they’re taking cues from) but one idea was fire employees with an even ID number. Easy easy to get half the staff. I’m still expecting that kind of “fine tooth comb” because so far they’re just going after the easy starting point: asking people to resign and probationary workers.
Never dealt with any business type person who did anything “with a fine tooth comb”. It’s always “just tear it out and replace it with my thing, it’ll be fine”. It’s never fine but they’re so far above the mess that it doesn’t affect them so who gives a shit.
It‘s so weird man. They say the government needs fixing but then vote for unhinged deregulation from the guy with the catch phrase „you‘re fired“.
That‘s like saying your roof needs fixing so you call a demolition company to tear your house down. What the hell did you expect would happen?
Honestly I think so many people are too misinformed or distracted to vote. I would genuinely suggest they stay out of the democratic process for their own good and peace of mind. They will only regret it anyway.
The problem is, these people w Think they’re informed because they binge watch Fox News, which is actively lying to them. To follow your analogy, the demolition company was running commercials 24/7 saying they’re the best roof fixers in town.
Don’t get the impression that I’m defending these dumb fucks for voting the way they did. I just wanted to say we’re never getting rid of this problem when people live in their media bubbles that blatantly hide the truth from them.
Demolition company: When we’re done, you’ll never need to worry about a leaky roof again!
Every Fox News watcher: omg, amazing deal!
The issue isn’t Fox News itself or the lies they tell, it’s the viewer’s inability to process information into logical truths.
Fox News simply has no moral issue with lying to them. If you pay attention to what people complain about when it comes to the left, it’s their reluctance to lie to people.
Most people prefer comforting lies.
I would genuinely suggest they stay out of the democratic process for their own good and peace of mind.
But then what would happen with the immigrants eating people’s pets in Springfield?
Whatever happened with that anyway? Hmmm.
We have an electoral college. The entire reason they exist was to prevent an uneducated electorate from electing a tyanical demagogue. And yet here we are. Because the electoral college is made out of THE SAME UNEDUCATED MASSES. How was that supposed to work?
Why people regard Trump as good businessman? Bunch of his shit went bankrupt because he’s so “excellent”. Same as with Elon. Everyone treats him as genius. He’s a moron who hires actual smart people and then take credit for their work. And everything is always ultra late, over budget or never materialized. And now these two bozos work together to “fix” US government that has been functioning perfectly well for 300+ years.
Well, we might have a very different opinion of “perfectly well” but otherwise I agree.
I’d say the past 40 years have been set up to fail, but I don’t trust the party of Reagan to fix the mess he started.
😆
