In a firefight they couldn't run 1/2 a block if they needed to relo their positions...but tough guys locked & loaded for a BigMac..just like their Orange Clown leader....LOL
It may be but its certainly not a real picture. It doesn't make sense. The menus are in the wrong places, customers are behind the counters, the quality is low...
I always assumed it was hunting season opening day and they didn't want to leave their guns in the car. Seeing folks w rifles isn't uncommon in public places in rural areas, especially on the first day of deer season. Don't want your guns to "walk off".
You're not going to drive a sedan out to the field. It's probably a pickup or jeep, both of which are absent a trunk. Good thought, but not realistic. Imagine hauling a carcass on the hood of your escort.
Trunk or not, responsible gun storage matters. If your setup lacks secure storage, adapt accordinglyāsafety shouldnāt be optional just because you drive a pickup.
for those debating whether or not it's AI or not,
look at the menu.
Each section of the menu only shows 4 sandwiches, no fries, nuggets, sides, wraps, salads, deals, whatever the fuck.
And If you look really closely, even though the words are blurry, they are nonsensical.
Its shit like this that makes me feel like I could sell a scam product. I give people more credit when it comes to making decisions because I assume they have a normal level of intelligence and perception. But lo' and fucking behold, it feels like you can make people believe anything.
Some of us actually have more important things to do with our time. We survived the first Trump administration, made it through the last 4 years of whatever that was under Biden (or whoever was in charge), we will survive the 2nd Trump admin. Take a breath, relax and live a littleā¦i
If you study our national debt and financial markets, here is what I think they are trying to do. This year, the government must refinance $9.2 trillion in maturing debt, approximately 2/3rds of that is due in June. Each basis point (1/100-hundredth of a percent) drop in interest rates equals as savings of ~one billion annually. Since tariffs announcement, the 10-year treasury yields have dropped by 30 basis points, with equals a savings of $30 billion annually. By introducing tariffs, it is creating economic uncertainty, driving investors to low risk investments like the 10-year treasury bonds. The increase in demand produces smaller yields and thus lower interest rates on the debt resulting in savings. DODG, although very unpopular, primarily on how they are going about it, has the potential to save a trillion dollars by the end of 2025 if the cuts are ratified by Congress. The third activity is growth and tariffs are the ignition to allow domestic industry to become viable again long enough to build capacity. Tariffs also will generate ~$700 billion+ revenue. Will there be some pain, yes. Will prices go up for a period of time, yes. Will it work, guess we will find out but your guess is as good as mine. Buckle upā¦lol
We live in a world where it's cheaper to ship things multiple times across the world because the labour is just that much cheaper in India/China/Southeast Asia.
So not only would companies have to invest the enormous capital to acquire new land and build new plants, but the people on our shores would demand higher wages as well. There's also the time and money needed to train that new workforce.
If anything, the tariffs might actually need to be higher before I see CEOs making that jump.
Provided they don't just make it all automated so it only creates like 12 jobs instead of 200.
What we are doing is far beyond acceptable leeway for how you treat an ally. The tariffs Trump is levying are unreasonable and very damaging to the nations theyāre on.
Seeing as how we havenāt had the infrastructure or the labor force to produce even half the products we need in-house for consumers in decadesā¦.yea we need our Allies.
Our military industrial complex also relies heavily on imports. So go ahead support cutting all that off also and see how well it works. SMDH
Little brain on you? He's urging them to buy the items needed to guarantee their own security because we don't want to be responsible for it. God you people could probably manage to put a wild spin on your necks if they weren't firmly secured up your ass.
Thatās not true, but letās imagine your little fantasy world is true for a second
You think they want to be dependent on a country who wants to take advantage of them? Why would they stick around as opposed to making deals with china or other trade partners? Or just pursuing self sufficiency and abandoning our world order?
or seeking 3rd term, very fucking clearly saying the constitution doesn't matter. Morons saying because cars aren't exploding that everything is fine is some real 1984 shit
I mean sure, things are fine now. But things could get a lot worse, and probably will. But honestly we never know and donāt have the power to change it anyway, so might as well live your life normally. But buy as little as you can right now and save on money to avoid tariffs, but also to get ready when shit hits the fan
I would set a reminder for ~12 months as we will know by then. However, my personal outlook and mode of operation will remain unchanged as you canāt worry about what you cannot control. Enjoy life, itās way to short to worry about this stuff.
Equating the second trump administration to the first is like comparing spoiled milk to regular old milk. The first time around, he was only like kind of joking about being a dictator. 2020 he got a taste of 'real' power after his little revolt against the 'rigged deep state' now he's full on ego tripping. On top of that his cult like base is foaming at the mouth, but it seems like a lot of them are waking up. His grounds for actually pulling off a third term are pretty weak, they're just kind of throwing spaghetti at the wall with the unitary executive theory, but with the precedent that's being set we will soon be due for a breaking point where. Right now, it seems like the most likely break will be with Judge Boasberg, but we cant really say for sure where its gonna go. Either the administration yields to court orders or we enter the territory of contempt of court, which will involve arrests, and we really have no idea what that is going to look like. I don't think we're in for a full on civil war but to act like we will make it through this administration without some major consequences is incredibly tone deaf, at best the people have to remove trump from office themselves, and at worst military force is used to prevent that from happening. From the looks of it GOP and Project 2025 don't plan on backing down, this is basically the culmination of the Republican parties mission for the last 50 years, and it's probably gonna be ugly.
From the looks of it? Biden. As he did the thing good presidents do:put experts in position and listened to them. Weird concept but it was a positive for our country so I hope one day we try it again.
Based on his debate performance and other obvious signs, somebody else was making the decisions as his deductive reasoning was gone. More is coming out from folks that served in his administration to that fact. Realize that Trump scares folks but I am just as disturbed by the gaslighting/dishonesty that occurred under the previous administration.
Look if he wasnāt then do an investigation and let the American people know.
Doesnāt negate Iād rather have him not ruining the country then Trump running this country into the ground while also actively losing his god damn mind. Itās insane to even think Trump is fit
Couldn't be any more accurate. Real Americans have many more important things to deal with than these cosplay losers and the activist class. Maybe if they had actual hardship in their lives, they would get it. But no, the activist class sits on the latest $1200 I phone to organize their protest, and the wana be militia dude wants to blame everyone else for his problems. Meanwhile, the rest of us go about our daily lives
Actually making sure people keep their rights and freedom is actually very very important. People are literally being ripped off the streets if they oppose this administration. Yea no you donāt have more important things to do.
Agree to disagree, break the law and actions have consequences in the real world..I do have more important things to do..what freedoms and rights have been taken away from law abiding citizens?
This administration is currently trying to establish its ability to ignore all legal protections and immediately punish anyone they accuse of wrongdoing. Did you miss the whole thing where they "accidentally" deported a protected resident to a labor camp in El Salvedor without any due process? And they're refusing to get him back because they claim he's MS13? There is no argument they can make to justify that does not take away the rights of ALL us citizens.
In March 2025, over 130 Venezuelan men were deported under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, citing alleged ties to the Tren de Aragua gang. This action included individuals with protected status and was executed rapidly, leading to legal challenges and debates over due process. ļæ¼
Freezing of Teacher-Training Grants
The administration temporarily halted $65 million in grants aimed at promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in teacher training. This decision disrupted educational programs and led to layoffs, prompting legal challenges from several states. ļæ¼
Rescission of Executive Order 11246
In January 2025, Executive Order 11246, which prohibited federal contractors from engaging in employment discrimination and mandated affirmative action programs, was rescinded. This move was part of a broader effort to eliminate DEI programs within the federal government. ļæ¼
Implementation of Executive Order 14151
This executive order led to the dissolution of DEI offices across federal agencies, termination of related employees, and removal of DEI content from federal websites. It also initiated investigations into universities for alleged racial discrimination. ļæ¼ ļæ¼
Targeting of Transgender Protections
The administration issued executive orders that rolled back protections for transgender individuals, affecting areas such as military service and access to healthcare. These actions have been viewed as discriminatory by civil rights organizations. ļæ¼
These policies have sparked widespread protests and legal challenges, reflecting significant concerns about the impact on civil liberties and human rights in the United States.
We already have federal and state regulations preventing discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, etc., protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens. DEI was a duplicate and, in actuality, was being utilized as a quota type system as consideration if the individual was actually qualified for said positions never enters the discussion (at least as I watch it being implemented in my company). So I donāt necessarily have a problem with these actions. I am not even going to touch the transgender topic as we will have to agree to disagree on that topic. Appreciate the civil conversation by the way as our country would be a better place if folks would talk with each other versus at each other.
The point is people are using the logic that "well most people are still just living life!" means there's no risk of catastrophe when we almost watched a president get murdered on camera and an election with two candidates noone had actually voted for.
If Trump had been assassinated in July of 24, he would not have been succeeded by Vance. The republican candidate would have been determined at the convention, and you would have had a dead president and a presidential election where neither candidate had been elected.
That would have been very bad for the country. We're talking major loss of confidence in government.
I assure you; the assassination of any sitting American president would not be good for anyone in this country. It probably wouldn't be great for the world at large either.
I don't know if Op has looked but customer spending in all sectors is down. It's almost like everyone regardless of their politics has no certainty in the future and isn't spending or doing anything.
Personally, I love what Trump is doing because I have succumbed to full accelerationism. The faster and harder Trump can break the economy in the country the easier it will be to radicalize liberals and show them that the left was right the whole time
I believe another one came out more recently that has democrats dropping even more to the lowest ever recorded but Iām to lazy to go digging for that one (msnbc I think).
Thatās fair. Rassmussen has 49%. Either way he is miles ahead of most political opponents and parties. The Reuters I had seemed to be from a prior date than that one.
We arenāt headed for a civil war, weāre headed for mild to moderate civil unrest and a political insurgency within the Republican Party to break Trumps control over it, as soon as Trump canāt be Republican Party primary election kingmaker he looses his power to do the really stupid shit and we can start cleaning up the mess.
This is how you explain it to yourself? That's hilarious. Maybe go to one. You don't need to carry a sign or chant. Just go and find out that it's your neighbor, a family member, people you work with.
...you've never heard of the story of the battle "First Manassas"? The first battle of the civil war people brought picnic baskets. We are going towards a civil war.
Nah, in the real world, people struggle to afford rent, struggle to afford having kids, going out and doing things costs more than it used to so people do less of it.. The fact is, money doesn't go as far as it used to, and it's impacting people's happiness, and it's only a matter of time until people are pushed too far.
Elon Musk, savior of conservatives, anointed Civil War talk a full year before our elections. I've lost respect for Conservatives for not seeing an obviously laid out plan.
I think that is a great question and not sure anybody honestly knows. Believe we are slowly moving away from the globalist mindset back to a regional based supply chain model. Also think that COVID exposed the weakness of globalization in that a lot of key manufacturing like pharmaceuticals, chips, etc. conducted outside of the US is a national security risk. Agree, corporate greed drove manufacturing overseas due to cheaper labor and less regulatory requirements resulting in greater profits. China sort of depends on our consumerism to drive their economy and this hurts them as much as it hurts us. China is also facing a major demographic crunch in the next 10-15 years, due to their one child policy, as they are running short of workers. This is partly why they have been making a push to move the global currency based on the dollar to the Yuan to maintain some sort of control. Believe part of the tariff play is to pinch the profits of these corporations as the US is the largest consumer in the world. Automation will probably play a role but will not be the total answer for everything- will still need humans to maintain and service the automation. Believe we are witnessing a complete rework of the global order.
wrong protests are happening all around the country, this pic is inaccurate
1st one should be people burning telslas
2nd one should be mass protests
3rd one can stay because reguardless of circumstance there will always be people drinking
You must not go outside much. Are there cars on fire? Yes, in some places but itās isolated and limited. Mass protests? Buddy there arenāt that many marching around in the states. There are protest but not much more than a couple dozen attendees on average. Had bigger protests bouncing around when Bush was in office.
Civil war? lol. Not a chance. Aside from minor events here and there things are pretty damned peaceful most places. Hyperbole much?
Civil war was more likely before Trump got elected. Now that heās removed checks and balances and has expanded executive powers and controls the military and FBI weāre just headed towards fascist take over. Our chance to prevent that has passed.
