You know, I think that's the most I've ever seen Trump lift.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

those boxes may be empty for all we know

[–] WHYAREWEALLCAPS@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago

Still probably more than he's ever lifted.

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

That bottle of water was heavy, though!

Bad workplace providing a pizza party instead of raises.

[–] bostonbananarama@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Don't worry, at least there are two pizzas for 50 people!

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ok but like low key, I'll smash some rootbeer float.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How do you tolerate so much acid and sugar running across your tender mucosae?

[–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 3 points 2 months ago

It never occurred to me that root beer is acidic

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I've done worse to it...

Showing up with pizza and pop

Soda wars.

[–] somtwo@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

The map is waaaay more complicated than that!

[–] livewithinyourmemes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I'm from a soda state, but I used pop with pizza simply for the alliteration :^)

Reject local names. Embrace "carbonated beverage". All will unite under the technically correct name.

[–] Alenalda@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Spicy brown sugar water.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That 14 year old with a baby.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

hey it's probably her brother.

but also probably her son too

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is that cola and whipped cream?

[–] Exslash@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

It's an a&w root beer float, just a scoop of vanilla in root beer.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Probably a root beer float, so ice cream.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not American, what ice cream flavor do you put in?

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Best we can do is diet mountain dew and awkwardly obtained 24 counts of donuts

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

To be fair, Kamala Harris is also opposed to universal healthcare. I'm not sure what her positions on the other topics are but likely better than Trump's at least.

[–] WHYAREWEALLCAPS@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago

Breads and circuses. Breads and circuses...

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm surprised he splurged on the green lantern and didn't pick up some hot 'n ready.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

He’s not paying. He’s never paying.

Of course MAGA isn't going to provide that stuff, but neither are the fucking democrats. They haven't done it yet, and they won't fucking do it in the future either. Take the state I live in, for example (California). Longtime Dem majority governance. Yes, it's better in a lot of ways than many states, but we've got some fucked up problems that are getting worse. Cost of living is skyrocketing with no credible plans to address that. On a related note, our 'uber-liberal' governor Newsom wasted zero time in seizing on the recent SCOTUS ruling to (further) criminalize homelessness. He has decreed that any cities or counties who don't clear out homeless encampments will lose state funding. The California university system was once the best value in the country, and fostered a politically engaged student body. Now the costs keep rising and student protests are met with swift police violence.
