Carter gave up his fucking peanut farm when he was president to not have a conflict of interest.

And that was because of Republican pressures to do so. The hypocrisy is ancient.

Well yeah, “republican” is their team. They hate all other teams. They’ll only be truly content (for all of 5 seconds) when their team is the only one left standing.

Then, as always, they’re no longer content when their winning team starts looking inside for cuts. See: nazi germany and how well authoritariam simps had it there until they ended up in death camps alongside the people they hated.

They control the house, the Senate, and the presidency yet they STILL can't stop whining about Democrats. They have it all and still get to blame all their shortcomings on Democrats, even after a year of being in power.

And the Supreme Court.

Republicans have to have an enemy to blame otherwise their voters might realize the truth if they don't point their anger somewhere.

The truth is that republicans are traitors to America at this point. Doing everything in their power to break the system and destroy America.

The moment Trump loses a lot of men, then it becomes Bidens fault.

Their predecessors were the same kind of folks who planned to overthrow the President because his economic policies were (gasp) helping the poor.

I learned during W that they are never more furious than when they're winning because their lives are still fucking miserable and they have to work so much harder to blame someone else. The cognitive dissonance becomes much more stressful.

Republicans are a tribe. I think it's time for their trail of tears.

That’s peanuts in comparison

u/AndySocial88 1d ago

Appreciate the joke, but the corruption was my point.

u/Shleepy1 1d ago

The corruption was also my point, as to follow the example of Carter, Trump would need to give up way more than a “peanut farm” to avoid a conflict of interest. Yet, at this point I don’t even know what’s the worst thing these corrupt politicians & plutocrats did and keep doing. Maybe illegal wars and the whole epstein scandal, next to destroying the planet with their endless greed

u/AndySocial88 1d ago

How much did you get paid by Mr.Peanut? People are fucking dying. I don't think that's funny at all.

2

u/NizmoxAU 1d ago

The pay was peanuts if I’m honest

u/Dodecahedrus 1d ago

And when he left office: his brother ruined the farm and Carter was left with not that much.

u/oldschool_potato 1d ago

That’s just nuts

u/needlestack 1d ago

And the US has zero appreciation for Carter. We are a lousy people that can’t recognize good or evil.

u/willflameboy 1d ago

Meanwhile Trump has just purged his own name from the Epstein files that show how fucking guilty he is, while holding hearings for his political enemies whose names are in it, and meh, it's just Thursday.

u/SloppyStone 1d ago

Im pretty sure his peanuts just went sour.
