Literally everyone warned you. Everyone.
But you wanted to "own the libs" so those leopards you let brainwash and manipulate you are now feasting on faces.
No more DEI, no more LGBTQ. You losing your business was totally worth it right? Thats what you voted for.
oh wow billionaires worshipping money and power only supports big brands? I am completely shocked I must say
Well he can get an exemption if he pays a $10 million consulting fee to Ballard Partners. I assume he's okay with that, because that's what he voted for.
This is not a battle between good and evil.
This a battle between stupid and evil. And stupid is scoring home run after home run!
Aww, thoughts and prayers...idiot.
Seems more like a self own.
i love this comm but its sad that most of these people will probably do mental gymnastics to stay a far right nazi.
These are like Herman Cain awards and I'm as here for it as I was for those.
Note to self: Face-eating leopards nearly always arrive hungry.
paying the taxes
LMAO, swing and a miss...
I mean, they will pay them. And then charge more for product to cover the additional cost. It's a lot easier to tolerate that in the short term if you're bigger.
I find it amusing they though they'd be safe from the increased tariffs under a de minimis limit. That's a thing that could have happened, but that tends to benefit small purchasers over large ones which is the opposite of GOP thinking and is also no something Trump et al had ever mentioned, so I don't know why they would expect it?
For anyone that doesn't know, de minimis is a tariff exception for small purchases, basically that it's not worth the administrative cost of levying the tariff for fiddling small change, so if it's a small enough shipment they won't bother.
I actually really like seeing these.
You dumbs fucks did this to yourselves, the unfortunate part is that they were not smart enough to understand what was really happening and what was going to happen.
The unfortunate part is all the misery they will cause for the good people (and I don't mean one political party or another).
The enshittification of the world (which has been happening for a while) is picking up speed because of these dumb fucks.
Yea fuck this man sideways.
I didn't vote for this
Didn't you know what you were voting for?
Yes.
Well, he's a liar, an idiot, or both. I'm going with both.
Rofl he doubled down????
Hey the important thing is that there isn't a trans kid playing soccer!
They have to. Their world view is so fragile that accepting they're wrong about even the smallest thing risks shattering the whole.
These idiots really don't understand how it works, do they? "trans the kids"
nobody was transing the kids, idiot Austin. That's not how anything worked.
Haha what a sad hateful bitter fuck. May he find out more
Oh no Trump took away my buisness with his economic policies. At least I can rest easy knowing that we're legislating child genitals
Austin Wade Petersen (born February 19, 1981) is an American writer, political activist, commentator, and broadcaster. He is the host of the Wake Up America show daily newscast. He was the runner-up for the Libertarian Party's nomination for President of the United States in 2016,[1] finishing second place to Gary Johnson with 21.9% of the vote.[2][3]
People like this are dumb as fuck and deserve their misfortune.
Notice that they voted for "Trump" but that it's "government" that damaged their business. Curious.
You get exactly what you fucking deserve you stain on humanity. I pray you starve to death in the streets so everyone can see what your malicious selfishness has earned you.
Edit: downvote all you want, these monsters only understand empathy as applied to them, their continued living does nothing for humanity - their messy, miserable, self inflicted death for all to see might actually teach some people something.
From another post, in case you think my initial assessment too harsh -
Memeseteal-ception
The de minimus exemption was never meant to be used as a loophole by any business, big or small. He's basically admitting tax fraud. "I bought lots of sub $800 orders to avoid paying taxes and it's the only thing that kept me profitable!"
Thats not it at all. Theres a big difference between 15% import taxes and 200%
that is what the de minimis loophole is though, and it is ideologically consistent with tariffs and trumps economic view so it is what he voted for
Look, he voted for Trump too. Clearly the guy doesn't think anything through or even have good ideas.
That's sounds roughly equivalent to "structuring" in the money laundering industry.
"I didn't vote for this"
Yes... you literally did vote for this.
And I bet they'll do it again in ten years when the next swindler comes along telling them lies.
Lol, you think we're gonna still have elections.
Gotta own them libs!
it'll never cease to be hilariously ironic that conservatives love to call others naïve, as they themselves fail to realize that people will tell blatant lies in order to get votes
At least there's enough brain power there to call them taxes
I will never get tired of seeing posts here
Well it's safe to say someone got owned
It’s safe to say he’s not owning any business anymore
You're not part of the club, dumbass.
people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare. now they get neither
people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare.
Let's not pretend that either human rights or healthcare were on the ballot in 2024.
The republicans came within a vote of defunding Obamacare in 2018 and have talked about kicking out immigrants for a generation. To say that neither of those things were on the ballot is incredibly naive.
They got wealth, just for a distinct group of people
It's a genuine mistake (/s), they thought that pro-business/anti-regulations would help their small business.
As with everything, they lied. It's about billionaires making more billions, at the expense of EVERYONE else - workers, but also other businesses. I'm convinced that all the rest, including the racism, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and overall bigotry are just tools to convince people to act against their own interests.
They didn't even lie. They said this is what they were going to do. He chose to believe that plan would only hurt people he disliked.
But he owned the libs, right?
I'm afraid with his business going down, the best he can do is rent the libs.
Owned himself to own the libs. Good work, buddy, you sure showed 'em. 🙄
Clearly he was a lib as well
I hope Steffi leaves him for a better man (although there's a good chance she voted Trump too, in that case I hope the better man dump her)
Ah yes. The serotonin hit I just received from resding this was divine. This is one of the most satisfying FAFO's I've seen recently
FAFO, dipshit!
I feel thoroughly owned. Well done.
He's so close to making that connection
Is he though
These make me really happy
What comes around, goes around. They are pretending that they didn't wish ill will against others first.
