Don, Jr.: My dad put these fries in the box himself! hurr durr
Are they celebrating bring your kid to work day?
This is so weird. Why is the dude displaying his fries like he's proud of them?
You gotta emphasize how normal and approachable you are. A true one of the people
what, are you saying that a douchebag isn't allowed to be proud of his fries? I'm sorry, I thought this was America
Never has more divorce been captured in a single photograph
I wanted to buy a Cybertruck (don't judge me, my kid loves it). We also love McDonald's.
I no longer want anything Tesla or even want to eat at McDonald's anymore.
Your kids love it because it looks like something they could have drawn themselves.
Why would you want to buy a vehicle just because your kid likes it?
My life revolves around my kid. So ya. If it makes him happy to be in a car he loves and it fits the families needs, then why wouldn't I?
If he has to get a vehicle why not one his kid likes? What vehicle choice criteria do you find acceptable?
Probably utility and price?
Safety, efficiency, and price.
Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin' scary, speaking as a foreigner.
Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.
Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.
then I remember that trump... what? I'm also "a foreigner" (meaning I don't live in the shithole known as the US), but that's an incomplete sentence
Probably meant that's, or at least I read it that way
This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸'Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.
It's always projection with conservatives.
What is actually embarrassing is that the US elected Reagan, twice, then G.W Bush, twice, and now Donald Trump, twice.
As the great scholar Bush once said:
There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again
The first time I flew out of the US after Trump became president I was so embarrassed of being American because of all the questions about his crazy ass. When I landed back in the US and saw his portrait on the wall in the airport, I stared at it perplexingly trying to understand what the fuck his stupid face was doing there….then it hit me that it’s there cause he was the president. Trump is a laughing stock and him at the helm of the US makes all Americans laughing stock for allowing this country to elect an orange makeup-caked, lying, shyster.
So glad we get to do it again!!
Nahhh... we're pretty fucking disappointed... Least everyone I know with half a brain.
I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren't Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.
Time to start beating your wife, she’s actively asking for it. If she’s your ex make sure to remind her that project 2025 wants to make her existence illegal.
I think it's revealing that apparently as long as gas and eggs are okay, the country falling completely apart is secondary (to the voting majority).

Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you're living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.
It's so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would've never seen all this coming...
The thing is we had Obama and dem control of the legislature and we still didn’t get universal healthcare, or even basic shit like minimum wage indexed to inflation. It’s no wonder low-information voters think democrats suck at “the economy”.

Unfortunately, all this is pretty much a backlash to that event.

Honestly, in my social circle we're all kinda treating it like this... strange, self-inflicted, natural disaster. Like we can't even really joke about it, still. It's like we all know it's gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it's going to be. There's a lot I'm hoping is over-reaction, but honestly that's a pretty shitty thing to hope for and a hard hope to maintain all things considered.

Welcome to Walmart. I love you.
I gave you an upvote because it is on point. I want to down vote you because I don't want to live on that planet and its looking more and more like we will be that planet.
Saving this picture, in case I ever eat something poisonous i can use it to throw up immediately.
