Rep. David Joyce on Trump saying girls should have fewer dolls: "The idea that the Christmas trade is already starting to slow down and there might be less around, I get it. I think the American people will understand that because the American people understand shared sacrifice."

We reacted to doordash being a little expensive by voting to allow Elon Musk and his cabal of hooting nazis to blow up NOAA. We decided HHS needed to be run by an insane animal necrophile who thinks germ theory is gay

Hes right, I could think of quite a few people, you know, maybe about 10-20 or so, that should be Sacrificed for the greater good. We, as the American people, united, should step up and facilitate this with our shared understanding. Surely thats what hes saying.

Why is anyone sacrificing? The economy was good and getting better under Biden and now an Orange Idiot has let MusKKK fire thousands of people, but benefits to those who need it the most, and put outrageous tariff taxes on poor people. Meanwhile he’s filling his pockets with a fake coin scam.

So we've gone from the strongest economy in the world to "shared sacrifice" and these spineless cowards have fuck all to say about it? Vote him out or recall him, tar and feather him on his way to the unemployment line. Enough of this shit.

trump has FOREVER been out of touch. He lives in the billionaire bubble and now has the United States Treasury as his slush fund. unlimited travel, unlimited KFC and big Macs, unlimited waste, fraud, and abuse. Damn good gig if you can get it and he got it.

The entire point of capitalism is that there is no limit on the material wealth you can have. American culture is built on our obsession with buying and having more things. In no world would the American people sacrifice that for any reason. That, during Covid, caused all of this in the first place.

That's the actual goal. But the reality is actually more absurd. All those billionaires who attended Trump's inauguration? Their companies' stock prices are down > 10% since then. So sure, they can get their 4% tax break, and meanwhile our entire economy is getting weaker + destroying wealth.

"shared sacrifice" Shared sacrifice, huh what? Is trump gonna only gulf 2 times a month instead of 20 times a month. Is Musk going to take only 20 billion of our tax dollars instead of 200 billion of our tax dollars to build his little penis rockets. MAGA might be as dumb as a bag of rocks. not us!

I've heard a LOT of discussion of sacrifice and "shared sacrifice" recently. Ask yourself -- for what are you sacrificing your prosperity? That's what it boils down to. The new economic policies will make us all poorer. And what's it for? So the USA can be more white? So all can work in factories?

Shared sacrifice for what? Pristine, fully staffed national parks? Best-in-the-world public education? Top-notch colleges & universities? Cutting edge science & medical research? Shared sacrifice so you can shutter the US and sell it for cheap to billionaire bros is what you losers want. Not today.

The poor, middle class, and small business owners will do the sacrificing while corporations and the rich will increase their profits and get additional tax breaks. How are these people real? Some people can't even afford ONE toy with these fucking tariffs.

Every minute that passes, potential solutions are dying. History proves that is how this works. It's also the ONLY solution that the fascists ever allow or respond to...almost as if it's a dare...and they remove all other possibilities while the public dithers and hopes something saves them.

So confused why the American people need to sacrifice when our "leaders" and people with extreme wealth don't have to endure anything. Maybe it's because they are just doing this to hurt and destroy the average American right back into legit serfdom. 🤦 #welcometotheidiocracy

The crazy thing is that even the billionaires are deluding themselves. For years the Heritage Foundation + billionaires ranted about Democrats pursuing a wealth tax. Well, Trump's New Economic Policy will raise prices + borrowing costs, weaken the $ + corp earnings. The effect is A WEALTH TAX.

Even if the value of the billions they have goes down (unlikely as they will move away from US bonds and US markets), it still means they have more than enough capital to weather any financial storms. We need to move to hyper local trade to cut them out of some of our commerce.

I understand "shared sacrifice". What I don't understand is why Congress, the Administration, SCOTUS, and most curiously their patrons, are insulated from sharing in that sacrifice. They get richer, we get poorer, they get more comfortable, we get more opportunities to sacrifice.

As I am stuck being one of this blowhole's constituents - we have a wonderful nickname around here for "Just Dave" since he got to Congress and that is "Do Nothing Dave". He is also one of those who hides from his constituents and even before all this was about as useful as tits on a bull.

Why????? Why are we being asked to sacrifice????For what? 911? No. Some catastrophe? No. Personally, I am offended that I'm being forced to run around looking for necessities because a billionaire decided he wants the world to beg him for mercy??

What, exactly, are we sacrificing for? So billionaires don’t have to pay taxes? I love they are using this rhetoric, like they did during WW2. The difference is during WW2 our country pulled together because we saw ourselves as “one nation”. Now it is us against them. I hate all these people.

"...the American people understand shared sacrifice." The same American people who flipped out when they couldn't get their $2 Margaritas at Applebee's during the Pandemic? Those American people?

The people that have to say this in public have no souls left. Democrats call things a gaffe and eat their own. These people say it’s the new “on message” and keep shoveling. Wow.

I had just finished sacrificing so that I could pay my taxes. Now it’s time I do my part for the ultra-wealthy. Don’t worry Elon, I’m sacrificing for you now. Just 5 pencils for me 245 for you

He's waging economic warfare on "your" behalf. Supposedly. That's the way we see things in Canada. We are sacrificing nothing. It's our American cousins, such as yourself, who are suffering.😒

OMG! Americans sacrificed a shit-ton during WWII... they had to ration sugar, gasoline, a bunch of other stuff. My parents and grandparents told me how tough it was! NO! We are not sacrificing for this orange shitgibbon's wet dream of fascism right now!!
