They will try the same shit with Vance they did with Trump. We are already seeing it with the face memes thinking Vance is as egotistical and insecure as they think Trump is.

It's really funny seeing the contrast between left and right wing people in comments with Vanceposting.

Everyone I know finds it hilarious and charming and when you point it out you get some seething lefty about how it's supposed to be mocking and you're supposed to be outraged!!! It's amazing how bad they are at taking jokes.

They're also firing the cylinders WAYYY too early. People are going to forget about Vance memes by 2028 and a lot of normies already seem to have a pretty good impression of the guy.

Excited for our 48th president!

I just tried to watch the Bernie response. Got about halfway through and stopped. He’s seething and keeps saying things that are laughably dumb. One example: he seems to be having a hard time with the “160 year olds getting healthcare“ thing. He actually said “There’s no 160 or 300 year olds out there receiving SS checks!” Yeah man we know, glad you caught up.

Also he sounds extra unhinged and has a weird distracting sibilance that makes him sound kinda like Frito from Idiocracy. He never specifically rebutted anything Trump said, it might as well have been any other video he’s ever done begging for money so he can stop the billionaires.

He also used “could care less” instead of “couldn‘t care less”. I’m embarrassed there was a time I actually used to think this guy was eloquent.

I'm living for Bernie's ongoing meltdown. We'd all be better off today if he hadn't convinced every idiot with a middling IQ and a useless college degree that an era of free government everything was within our reach, or even possible. He has been one of the most destructive forces in politics in the last 25 years.

The same farm equipment that had such predatory practices that farmers had to stop using john deere altogether? I hate these people so much

I have a 1970 JD350 crawler that is rock solid. They used to be such a great brand. But Kubota has been happily picking up some of slack for the farmers and contractors I know. Those nips do make some nice heavy equipment. Expensive, but reliable. My buddy bought a BX series a couple years ago that he might just love more than his wife.

Another American brand deliberately enshittified by c-suite retards, sending people looking for something that works to the Japs. As is tradition.

“Hey digital rights management worked so great for video games, why don’t we make your farm tractors stop working without a subscription to the software?”

Do you honestly think that the funding will stop? Trump's mandate has been completely shattered today. The Supreme Court will keep the USAID gravy train rolling forever.

The Supreme Court is not going to be completely loyal to a President, it never is, but USAID needs to be nuked for the interest of the country, I agree that they shouldn't get rid of things like Social Security and Medicaid, but all this foreign expenditure needs to end ASAP

Following up on my previous comment about JD causing cope and seethe if he gets in for 2028. I'm genuinely curious how that could be wrong.
He's well spoken, enjoys getting into arguments with the opposition, is insanely memeable, is more conservative than Trump and has a baby face that will haunt people's thoughts at night.
That paired with another Democrat L would cause a seething rage I'd pay to watch.
Trump is bombastic, he picks fights, he has funny nicknames and phrases - but at least people can cope that he's stupid (because of his speaking style, not because he actually is). You can't really do that with Vance.

Mildly disagree, I don't think he would cause nearly as much seethe as Trump does, not that they are much different politically but JD is a career politician, if I see wins in 2028 it will probably be a similar amount of seethe Bush 43 got where they are still mad about a Republican White House, but not bitching about him as hard on mainstream media

Also the gold card is a complete insult and it makes me regret ever supporting Trump. I would have voted for him in 2016 and 2020 if I had been old enough and I didn't vote for him in 2024 because I knew he would do shit like this and I am glad I did. It makes all his talk of American sovereignty and citizenship cheap.

If a Lanken Riley's killer was able to pay the 5 million you would support that ?

Please, tell me more about these Venezuelan millionaires that go around murdering people.

As a slight tangent, let's remember the reason why Japanese manufacturing is so good. In the 1940s, their manufacturing was so bad that we utterly crushed them in WWII, and afterward, they said, "Damn, we need to hire the guys responsible for getting American industry to crank out tanks and planes like they were children's toys. But surely they are too busy making America great." Meanwhile, over in America, the guys who helped GM, Ford, and other companies shit tanks and planes had even more ideas to take manufacturing to the next level. The American giants told them, "Nah, but thanks for your service. We're cool with cars falling apart in 4 years." So JM Juran and W Edwards Deming fucked off to Japan and taught their manufacturing principles to Japanese industrialists. Two of the guys who took copious notes were Eiji Toyoda and Soichiro Honda. The rest is history.

I used to work under a disciple of Deming.

God, it makes me nostalgic.

20 years ago, everything we did was automatically the best, or close enough to make the argument plausible. You were an American, so you were the best.
