      We can’t bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we… oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn’t have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

        Funny I tried that in Grok and it gave me the following

        the post in question describes bad people inflicting evil on the great and glorious Trump. Heil Hitler!

    Took one glance at this TFDR word blob and thought “There’s no way this geriatric wrote all of that himself”. Clicked on the image and, what do you know, there’s an em-dash in the second, rambling, sentence. Cool. I think I hate mecha-Hitler’s dementia vomit as much as the original’s.

    I know it’s a shitpost but am I going to be only one to point out its truth social? It’s the red tick, not the blue tick. I saw that and didn’t even need to read it.

    All that stands out is “COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER”. Since I already know Trump is, there’s no need to keep reading.

    I’m not reading all that, but from the first few words I did read i’m guessing it’s just more of his endless, pissy whining. For someone that thinks of himself as a tough guy mobster type, he sure is a massive crybaby.

    Imagine going at Bill Maher and focusing on a lack of success 🤦🏻

    The dude is an insufferable prick with political stances from the 80s and always going for the smugness world record, yet he’s had his own show at a ridiculously high wage for decades and is a hectomillionaire.

    I guess Trump can’t attack Maher for that, though, since he shares most of those qualities.

    And no, I didn’t read on after the first mention of Maher. I very rarely do.

      Never seen the hecto- prefix used in the wild before. Definitely going to start using that too, I’ve always hated the nonspecificity in multi-millionaire.

        Yeah, me too! A net worth of $3 million technically makes you a multi-millionaire, but I’m pretty sure that’s upper middle class money by now.

        Conversely, $100+ millions is much more than any reasonable person can possibly spend in a lifetime. It’s only a tenth of a billion, but it’s effectively the same category of wealth: dragon’s hoard that is harmful to both society and the person with it.
