Sadly telling someone with baby brain that they are stupid and have a baby brain isn’t going to help them change. Baby’s don’t learn like that. We need to sing them songs and make learning fun until they have a leap and want to learn more all by themselves. Also cutting their screen time to zero until their brains develop well into toddler brain is supposed to be super beneficial.
Yes, but I’m tired of babysitting.
Yeah but the baby’s don’t go away because the adults CBF, kinda how we got into this mess …
Noooo not my screen time :( Gonna miss pig-family!
Look, you can watch tv when you get your toddler brain … and then only 30 mins a day, also I don’t think it’s nice to call the Trumps that …
Or, maybe Kristi Noem had a point…
These old dogs are too hard to train and need to be put down.
I don’t know if we should trust the opinion of someone who hasn’t advanced past playing dress ups …
*Babies. So stupid
I prefer the term baby brained thank you very much.
These people are incapable of making that leap, that’s why they’re still baby brain idiots
Don’t worry, many of them will just be dieing sooner than expected, as a result of the policies they voted for resulting in cuts to social security, increases in property taxes and home insurance, skyrocketing healthcare costs, and thier 401ks and pensions poofing out of existence, again due to the people they keep voting for.
Whole lotta farmers are already pre-empting that!
What, am I supposed to have sympathy for these genocidal apocalyptic death cultists?
Fuck em.
Hope they die horribly, soon, quickly, alone, miserable, and confused.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Of all the bad things that social media has brought us, the worst is making stupid people feel intelligent because other stupid people agree with them.
EDIT: I have seen your positive votes, thank you, I feel validated and it is clear that I am very intelligent
Hey now, Boomers didn’t invent anti-intellectualism, they just think they did. Because they’re stupid. Then social media put those views out there for other idiots with baby brains to see and identify with.

Behold, the smartest person on the internet.
May as well rant about it here.
Whenever someone say about trump “But he’s a good businessman!” As some sort of defense, I get immediately annoyed. He is an absolute garbage businessman. He has failed or run so many businesses into the ground. He made a casino go broke, you know the business that thrives on basically just letting people come in and throw their money at you and leave?
What he is good at is lining his own pockets. He goes into anything and lies, cheats, and schemes, then shovels as much money into his pockets as he can before someone notices and the bills come due. He makes deals with contractors, then refuses to pay, then drags them through courts until they give up and claims he got a discount. That’s not “good business” that’s theft. It’s despicable and gross.
Every allegory we have for a corrupt, lying, thieving businessman is embodied in Trump. He is not good for business. He’s good for himself until the business fails then he moves on to the next persons pile of money to steal.
And that’s what he is doing as president. He is selling the country piece by piece to line his own pockets, then once everything goes belly up he’ll take his money and walk away.
Fuck Trump.
This is all really the fault of The Apprentice, who made him seem as if he were some kind of business genius.
Trump was decent at making himself seem like he was a good businessman. But, all his self-promotion had to compete with all his failures. Eventually he would have run out of money to self-promote.
Then the people behind The Apprentice came along and did everything in their power to make him seem like he was the best businessman in the world, and idiots bought it. People watched a fictional reality TV show where contestants had to do silly “businessey” things, and somehow they concluded that the guy at the boardroom table set was actually good at business, rather than competent at acting.
This barely competent idiot who had inherited / stolen half a billion from his father and was slowly burning through it with his various failures had worked his entire life to try to create a myth that he was a genius businessman. That attempt had almost failed as he ran out of money. Then the guy who made Survivor came along and made his dreams come true. Finally, he was on TV all the time playing the character of a shrewd businessman, and somehow getting paid for it. This show lasted a decade, and by the end of it, idiots were convinced that Trump was a business genius, and the rest is history.
Oh, and incidentally, Mark Burnett, the guy who created The Apprentice, is now “United States Special Envoy for the United Kingdom”, appointed on Trump’s inauguration day in 2025.
I mean, Berlusconi got rich thanks to his mafia connection, so it kinda seems like making lots of money somehow involves utter disregard for human life.
I swear reality TV was a poison to society. The most annoying thing is that YouTube shows that folks just doing things is a completely viable form of entertainment and I’m not even talking about vloggers.
There’s two major types of businessmen: Those that are good at business, and those that are good at scamming. MAGA cannot discern between the two. That’s why a lot of his influencers peddle in obvious scam bait. And ever since meme stocks became a thing through social network engagement cults-on-demand, it doesn’t matter how much they get scammed out and lose as long as they can do so communally on a communal circlejerk while claiming someone else is the real loser. Trump is the materialization of all the efforts to manipulate and profit from society that led up to him
Realistically, there is no difference between being good at business and being good at scamming. Both involve stealing, businessmen just steal from their employees instead of their customers.
Or scamming your subsidiaries, Scamming your investors, scamming the government etc
Scamming your investors
This being the only scam where the wealthy actually get prosecuted.
Long before Trump was in politics, the thing most people knew him for was not his business acumen, but that he was essentially the physical avatar of avarice and greed and everything wrong with capitalism. He was not an aspirational role model, he was a caricature of the negative stereotypes embodied by the average American businessmen, everything dialed up to 11, including his contempt for the common laborer.
He was well hated before getting into politics, and it had nothing to do with his political opinions at the time.
His casinos were just a money laundering operation for the Russians.
Worse: I distinctly recall the countless people who - in response to being called stupid and told they were about to do a stupid thing - voted for Trump in a fit of contrarian infantilism.
Sounds quite deplorable
More than the system that created the conditions? So it’s the victim’s fault. I see.
Hating brown people is not the fault of the system.
It… Kinda is though? Obviously xenophobia is baked into human biology, true, but why people are not xenophobic is because they’ve been exposed to lots of different things/people by their parents/society. The reason you’re not and I’m not is because we came in contact with lots of foreign things/people, so “our system” (meaning the immediate people around us that had the most impact on us) contributed to removing our natural xenophobia.
So essentially, other people, who did not learn to reduce their xenophobia, were “failed by the system”. Because the system allowed their parents, neighbors, friends to not reduce their xenophobia, like it should have happened.
That doesn’t absolve them of responsibility and make them a victim though
It can be the fault of the system and people can be individually responsible as well. They’re not mutually exclusive.
So the victims, in this case, are the people who voted for Trump?
Yeah, nah.
Well, the leopards ate their faces too!
They’re not just stupid but also evil. They knew perfectly well that Trump was going to cause suffering to a lot of people and they voted for him because that is exactly what they wanted.
“he’s not hurting the right people”
Ditto to Stein’s Greens and and else who thought that helping Trump would help Palestine.
And the Hillbots and Khive Kritters who keep insisting that “not as bad as the fascist criminal but to the right of Reagan” is a good enough campaign strategy in a country with extreme voter suppression and right wing media gaslighting being many times more common than truthful political reporting 🙄
And the Hillbots and Khive Kritters
Bro, touch grass
Yeah, you said it, both sides are bad. The Democrats are bad for supporting Israel even if it causes the nation to fall into fascism, and the neutral voters are bad for opposing the Democrats even if it causes the nation to fall into fascism. I hate both sides, they’re both enabling fascism.
One side ARE THE FASCISTS.
Could you hate them a tiny bit more, please?
They’re both fascists. Democrats and neutral voters are both letting the Republican Neo-nazi party win with their stupid game of fascism chicken. They’re both plunging us into fascism. I hate Republicans most of all, but I hate Democrats and neutral voters equally.
Aren’t the ‘cubans’ a special case, seeing as they’re the people who fled because they couldn’t practice modern day slavery with money, have been living in america for more than a generation, and hate cuba?
If those people could read they’d be very upset.
If undereducation was a natural resource the usa would be the world’s top provider.
Not just USA, it’s everywhere. I blame social media and the lack of literacy.
Like, social media developped by american gafam?
As bad as this country is you really think that? Truly? There are countries that don’t have proper plumbing and don’t give a fuck about having that “luxury”. Countries that chop clits off babies so they will never enjoy what life has to offer. These kinds of comments make you people seem stupid and racist.
Typical american who never left his country comment lol.
Your country:
- run by literal nazi pedophiles,
- 3 americans alone owns 800+ billions while 50% of the population owns less then 86 b.
- life expectancy in the US ranks 60, under countries like Kuwait, Albania, Slovenia
- no universal healthcare
- gun violence is the leading cause of child death
So you might want to rethink " they will never enjoy what life has to offer" , while most of your citizens don’t have the “luxury” to not die before 79. And btw, “stupid and racist” is litteraly the first thing that comes to mind to anyone when thinking about “you people”.
Wtf? What’s wrong with Slovenia? It’s a perfectly civilized European country in a beautiful part of the continent. Why should it be a shame to have lower life expectancy than them?
And if I was given a choice of cutting my clitoris or living a bit shorter but with my clit intact, I’d chose keeping my clit - I’m not sure you got the “what life has to offer” thing quite right.
I kinda get what you mean and the US has a lot of deep problems, but there are definitely better ways of illustrating it.
I have nothing against Slovania. I could have picked any of 60 countries that ranks higher than the US.
Excision is an absolutely disgusting practice and I’m sure that if any of the countries were it is practice had large reserves of oil, the US would love to bring them american freedom. With that said, if you asked me to pick between one country were excision is tolerated and one were pedophiles and rape is, I honestly wouldn’t know know which to pick. I guess that’s the difference between you and me.
So, because there are less economically developed places that somehow negates the idea that the U.S.is undereducated, how? It’s still a huge fucking problem, even if there are other entirely independent problems in the world. Fuck this whataboutism.
I’ve heard that he will soon release his taxes! It’s under audit, you see. Give it two weeks
But that’s when they will release the beautiful health plan!
They’ve just been busy working on that healthcare plan, it’s coming any day now, two weeks at the most.
Ooh so that means forty more years of “two weeks” and then we get to bomb the taxes! Awesome!
I know several Trump voters this probably applies to.
During the run up to the last presidential election, they made comments along the lines of “I know who my life was better under” in the same conversation where I had to prove to them that Biden wasn’t the president in 2020 – a fact that I had to prove to them by showing them on “Google”.
Attempts to draw the line from Republicans’ and Trump’s disastrous policies, such as the record setting deficit spending PRIOR to the COVID era, and state of the country as the Biden administration took over were met with the equivalent of “Golly Gee that’s way over my head”. Same thing with discussions about how the Trump administration’s policies (for this term) would/could be a disaster for future generations (i.e. your grandchildren). It was met with statements like “it’s too complicated for me to understand, all I can do is vote for what’s best for me right now.”
Mike birnigglia is a top tier shitpost name
Oh, it’s that stand-up comic I like, Mike Birbig-- Oh. Uhh…
Nobody “believed” these things. They PRETENDED TO BELIEVE THEM because “fuck you, you can’t prove I don’t.”
I didn’t believe he would actually release the files. I can give him that.
Unfortunately the release of the files doesn’t matter. No one will face justice.
The files aren’t released. There are thousands of pages held back.
Millions.
And videos.
Maybe not in full, but he released more than I anticipated. I believed he wouldn’t release anything at all.
A murderer will still give you his fingerprints, but he won’t show you where the body is buried. The “release” is purely a distraction tactic, he’s already claiming he’s “fully exonerated” even though nobody has said that and the files aren’t fully released. He’s covering his ass and he knows it.
He didn’t release anything
He didn’t release the files, please don’t fall for their strategy to obfuscate this. They released a fraction of the files, and then removed many of the files they just released. The majority of files are still unreleased, and they are all about Trump.
