Not billion?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

all for the soundbites on fox, for internal consumption.

Ah.

She's using RIAA 'piracy costs us more than the GDP of the world' style logic/math to determine that ~75% of America would have OD'd on fentanyl if not for the claimed fentanyl interception amounts.

Like by this logic, I've personally saved thousands, even tens of thousands of lives by isolating when I had Covid.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 74 points 2 days ago (3 children)

... there are only about 350M Americans. She's saying 74% have been saved.

What a goddamn fucking moron liar.

[–] krakenfury@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do you think she believes her own bullshit? I'm honestly not sure. This claim is so insane, but all of MAGA seem to have a vested interest that Trump is a Christian prophet or messiah.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The way she not only says the number, but pauses and makes sure everyone is paying attention.... I'm thinking she is just that god damned stupid.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Don't give her credit. She is head fascist propaganda operative. She's knows she's lying every time her lips move. She's as much the antichrist as Trump.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Nearly everyone in Trump's inner circle is incredibly stupid. The closest intelligent person I can think of is Peter Thiel, and he's just the handler of the backup Vice President. They're evil, to be sure, but they're usually also morons.

It would have been less but Krasnov got really fucking high on fentanyl. You hear how many million pills they were bragging he took?

He saved us by golfing instead of being even more destructive.

You know a while back someone told me that they think the world actually ended in 2012 and that we've just been living in hell ever since being tortured slowly. And every day it starts to seem a little more plausible.

Legally Blonde was made in vain.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not according to Reese Witherspoon's accountant!

And fans of the movie, I guess 🤷

Culturally, its conclusion seems to have been subverted by this prominent cut of meat covered in blonde fur who was awarded a Law degree.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She has a degree in law, not a law degree.

[–] gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She has a BA in criminal justice and a JD. Not that she's using either very well.

One day there will be a history book detailing the amount of Americans Pam has killed and how that was justification for her death sentence in Nuremberg Trials 2.

[–] AJ1@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

yeah, the alternate timeline

god I wish we were there instead

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Be the change you want to see in the world.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Need billions for that.

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Is that alternative timeline stuff a replacement for believing in god?

USAID says tens of thousands will die.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 days ago

what she meant to say is that donvict and co have stolen the equivalent of the life savings of 258 million americans.

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The daily show did a great sketch on this. wish I could find it on YouTube.

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

She's completely insane.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

When a MAGAt is speaking you know it is lies.

if trumpy ~~could count~~ has concepts of numbers, he will think this is an insult.
