  • Honestly yeah. My hopes are at this point our electoral process does exactly what it just did. It’s clear a lot of people went out and voted for him. Not a small group but a ton. And my resignment has just been “Okay, this is what you asked for, buckle up”.

    It’s gonna suck ass and I really hope they don’t start some bullshit that makes them squeak out of the mess they’re about to step in. (They’ll definitely try to) But let’s give the American people exactly what they asked for and just try to stop the house from catching on fire while they realize what a bad idea it was.



  • Pretty sure they’re joking. Not sure how much, but that seems to be the tone they’re giving. “Oh yeah let’s do the thing they said we would haha”. It’s not very funny but it’s like someone getting a gun and saying “Time to shoot up a school hurr hurr”

    Not that that makes it any better, but still. Something important to keep in mind, you go blasting this around with “look he said it!” And they’re just going to laugh at you for believing getting upset.

    Edit: I’m not saying that this is okay at all but the guy in the article definitely has the tone of “oh yeah let’s tell them we are gonna start up the murder machine out front” I understand that there are a lot of people that do stick to this rhetoric. But I pretty much guarantee that in the context of this article it’s bait to get people to go “he said he’s gonna start up his murder machine!” And then they’ll go on some rant about liberals or whatever else.

    The guy is still probably an absolute shithole but you need to be able to recognize when they are setting people up for a punchline that furthers their agenda.

    It’s just like the church guys who stand outside with the old “god hates (slur)” signs. They believe it, but fighting them or screaming about it just pushes their agenda. Condemn them, call them out, but hysteria just gives them ammunition.


















  • Technically they don’t gain money no, but they get:

    1. To move or dispose of product, making sales look better
    2. Free marketing, both in people having the drinks and to say “look we did a charity”
    3. To pay their taxes with effectively free money, because they take the product that they made for pennies, and count it as a “donation” at full price. Meaning that all the “profit” they would have made on markup goes straight to paying the taxes instead of making the money and paying taxes on the money they already made.

    It’s why a company donating their product is always better for them than a regular person donating cash. They are effectively still making money it’s just this time they are making money specifically to pay off their taxes.
