He would taste so foul probably not.

"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries!!"

😄

I laughed far too long and hard at this. Thank you for the much needed levity.

I'd be thrilled

And his father smelled of elderberries

A reminder that not only was Bill Ackman beaten by Herbalife, he let a documentary crew follow him around while he lost a billion dollars. Do you know how shitty someone has to be for me to root against them when the other party is a notorious MLM?

This insult is so good, it almost made me cry.

Yep. I loathe him. He is no guru.

if you ever had the desire to leave whatever career you currently have now and make a go as an insult comic, you have got the juice

LET US BE ABUNDANTLY CLEAR IF THIS IS THE ENERGY I CAN BRING TO 2025 THEN I WILL DO SO WITH A SONG IN MY HEART

It’s a shit on Ackman thread

My thoughts: bsky.app/profile/andr...

He is really not "smart as hell". Really.

He and Musk in the “my daughter disappointed me so I must destroy the world” club.

#TeamBillAckmansHypotheticalHamsterMom

And still, and STILL, he thinks it’s the Democrats fault. He’s disappointed in the democrats. Well, I am disappointed in him.

📌

What a douche

The self delusion, the denial, the rationalization. Amazing watching him play out his insecurities and lack of awareness online, from his attacks on higher-ed, to his wife, to his support for Trump. "I didn't think". The last refuge of a weak mind.

"My bad" incredible

Good lord where to start... Hey Bill- He bankrupted multi businesses. He is a felon. He is a liar. He is so unprincipled I don't think that there is a word for it. Bill is a whiney little b!&^%. His constant drumbeat of "Elon is this true?" "Joe is too old" blah blah blah. He is such a jerk.

Oh, well then. Nevertheless

“MY BAD”????? Are you KIDDING ME? Just goes to show that some very wealthy powerful people are not very smart

I don't think it was foreseeable!! Even though it's all Trump talked about.

I can't count how many times in the last decade conservatives have told me something wasn't predictable only to disappear when I have receipts predicting that exact thing.

love this for her and him

Goddam it you beat me to this prime comment

isn't he a hamster? I've always thought so

Holy shit. Dude, you can’t just murder someone so publicly

Oh my god I need this in my vocabulary

Was this a Monty Python reference? (“Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.”)

In a good way lmao

and this works even if Bill's mom was still a human..

This belongs on r/rareinsults

But we voted for it to be GOOD and something we'd ENJOY

Don’t blame Biden or Harris for Trump’s election lol @chriscillizza.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Yes.

He voted for more dead Palestinians.

Except white South Africans and a couple of his wives.

And what about the last week gives Ackman any confidence in their ability to negotiate all these bilateral deals? It's sheer fucking billionaire brain cope. They have 50% rates on Vietnam and they're unflinching about the rates on penguins, Diego Garcia, and Narnia!

I don't know what's worse, the assholes who insist this isn't what they voted for, or the assholes who insist that burning down the country is good, actually.

Yup — just hopped on that hellscape of a site to berate Ackman for having the nerve to claim to be surprised by the outcome of his advocacy.

Be sorry for everyone who voted against him. Everyone who voted for him didn’t vote at all but did in 2020 or cast a protest vote wears a dog cone from here on out until they repent and make amends.

Yep!

Trump talked about protectionism ALL THE TIME and about Norquist-esque govt austerity virtually not at all, but the tycoons deluded themselves that he was Paul Ryan

and now Leonard Leo and Koch backed the NCLA who is suing Trump to stop China tariffs. Filed in FL on Friday.

They dont even have to impeach him. Congress could just take away his tariff powers, reset tariffs to December levels, end the whole crash today. But they won't.

Sure, sure. I'm saying, if Ackman claims that all he had to go on was Trump's word and Trump said he was going to usher in a new epoch of prosperity so how could Ackman have known that Trump was going to destroy the economy, I'm thinking dude you are too gullible for your opinions to carry weight.

It literally is exactly what they voted for

Trumpist delusion is an inherently redundant phrase.

Perennial contender for whiniest MF in the country.

Tariff pushback this weekend from Bill Ackman and Elon Musk, who were so busy axing people with DOGE that they forgot to short the market

Ackman - "INVESTED" - in this, by endorsing and funding trump, being the genius master-of-the-universe that he is. 🤡 "I assure you that I have made this decision carefully, rationally, and by relying on as much empirical data as possible." DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT YOU FUCKING MORON.

These people literally discount any information that is not prepared for them privately. Newspapers, tv, press releases etc are all for rubes. Private meetings, country club talk, conference panels get them hard. Turns out they were the rubes all along.

My mom (and I assume father) was 100% convinced he wouldn't do tariffs or mass deportations and she thought I was buying into liberal media spin for believing that he would do it.

I think he means he didn't think it would affect him

I think the money and power actually make them stupid. Like, why should they bother to think? But at least Marie Antoinette *looked* great.

Yup. Guy is trying to rewrite history (which happened couple months ago ). Ackman just isn’t any good at this

Apparently Wall Street *wanted* Trump to inflict mass suffering They *wanted* economic ruin...for labor (i.e., a return to the Gilded Age) So they backed a doltish lunatic & told him "40% unemployment" And never thought the macroeconomics would touch them

And to Bill Ackman say and ask: You're bad. You're actually literally bad. Don't sugar coat it by saying "wrong" Did you misjudge his racist overtones Did you misjudge his sophic terrorism against Taylor Swift Did you misjudge his fascistic intent Did you misjudge his mishandling of Covid 19

Dems: Trump lies all the time, so I don’t believe anything he says. Rs: Trump lies all the time, so I can ignore what he says and go with the vibes.

Trump has repeatedly pointed out -- correctly! -- that he's been talking about tariffs for forty years.

Why didn’t you vote for Harris?

Exactly. They get rich because they have start up capital, connections, and are greedy AF. I would also like to point out that folks like Ackman add no value to society. They don’t build or create things, they don’t sell goods; they get rich playing with other people’s assets and charging fees.

Is he saying focus more on the racism and xenophobia Trump also talked about?

📌

Or a clear crystallization that Ackman is an idiot?

Of course she did

Are you telling me the dude who doubled down on Valeant Pharmaceuticals… made a bad bet through his own lack of research????

And lest we forget, his wife plagiarized when writing her doctoral dissertation. This buffoon argued that Wikipedia is in the creative commons and doesn't require citations.

So, he's not part of that "100% of America" that he wrote is behind Trump's tariffs? 🤔

bsky.app/profile/carl...

Not the sharpest Ack in the pack

Like all MAGAts, he didn't believe trump would actually go through with it. So many people have laughed and said that he won't do all the things he said he would once he's in office. Well, you got what you wanted.

Further evidence that possessing billions has no relation to intelligence, but to a system that places no value on merit.

They were too busy listening for the racist dog whistles.

To lots of conservatives, it's like if Honey Boo Boo showed up at their house and nut punched them. They just wanted an "own the libs" circus. It miraculously didn't cross their mind that handing over control of the executive branch to a racist emotional toddler would do anything but entertain them.

Ackman not only voted for it, he wrote some fat checks to help swing the election. Jerk.

he's just not honest enough to say this bsky.app/profile/mumb...

It’s infuriating.

For years!

And THIS is why I asked @kairyssdal.bsky.social and @planetmoney.bsky.social and @felixsalmon.com to pose this question to every wall street fat cat who sits down at their microphone for the next 12 months bsky.app/profile/adre...

That’s debatable. I, on the other hand will have had a good laugh or seven.

Oligarchs can’t control dictators. Who knew???

Sow the wind.

"Economic prosperity for me, racism/sexism/homophobia for others!" Republican.

And he IS freaking out …

True that.

They voted for a leopard and everyone was screaming ‘it’s a leopard’. They have no excuses.

On April 6th he wrote: “May cooler heads prevail”. Sorry Bill, no such think is this administration

Many people are saying! bsky.app/profile/tft....

Ian, so true!

he's copying someone else's work.

3x lemmings voters now has buyers remorse. Bill may need to attend further deprogramming classes.

But they voted for it! You can go back to 2018, when Trump was talking about tariffs. The IMF had clear positions back then on what this nonsense would mean.

oh yikes i had memory-holed that for my own survival, i think

Imagine if Biden had done that !!!

they either voted for this or the racism, those were the only two planks of his platform!

Bill Ackman is a dick bag
