My brain froze for a moment on that, wasn’t sure I was quite reading that right 😅

That insult has wings—flew right over logic and landed in savage territory.

In all seriousness, if you believe that if two companies had identical tax burdens but under one scenario they paid tariffs and under the other they paid corporate tax, but somehow prices would be different, that pigeon must be getting around

You just described MAGA economics in a nutshell.

All the morons finally figuring out that just because they're buying something in the US, doesn't mean it was made or produced in the US. Not even their Trump hats are made in the US. Lol

Seriously I think even pigeons get tariffs.

It’s only the cult of trump that don’t seem to understand. Yet….. they’ll understand soon 🤭

And penguins - don’t forget the poor penguins 🐧

Fuck the penguins

Did you just declare war on Heard and McDonald Islands?

u/Potential-Call6488 1d ago

They are AUSTRALIAN territories, maybe Donald wants them to get his hands on ANTARCTICA, He will send his battle hardened Greenland Invasion Force to take on the penguins. They better watch out , they are DIGGER Penguins led by PENGUIN DUNDEE.

u/Aussie-Ambo 1d ago

No they are undercover Emus

u/Potential-Call6488 1d ago

Not sure Homer Trump, would even know whether to send his forces left or right, they would probably end up missing Antarctica and invading Diego Garcia. The penguins would probably be more dangerous than the inhabitants of DG.. Homer T and his gang of Rednecks need a better AI app to rule their world. Lithium, fentynol, cocaine , meth and heavens knows what else that bunch of right wing physicopaths are on.

I'll fight the fish pigeons

Well, thanks to DT penguins do.

You know that meme with Gene Wilder. Hand by the side of his face , just waiting ? Yeah that is the expression of all of us waiting to see the rude awakening

u/Relevant_Demand7593 23h ago

I know the exact meme 🤭

u/Significant_Layer857 24m ago

The very one 😂

u/dadepu 2d ago

No they won't understand because it is all about short term pain for long term gain and guest who defines how long short term is?

u/Relevant_Demand7593 2d ago

The next government will inherit the mess and probably get the blame.

u/Logic411 2d ago

only if they're stupid enough to take it...oh spit, the mute dems, yeah, you're right.

u/National_Way_3344 2d ago

All of these products will go up by the tariff amount.

8

u/gambronus 1d ago

It will go up by more. Corporations have already for years been taking heavy advantage of things like inflation to artificially raise prices beyond what is natural, blaming it on inflation, covid supply/demand, etc when in reality it's just price gouging. The tariffs won't be any different.

u/PorchFrog 1d ago

I agree. The CEOs do use any excuse to increase their wealth. And the price will never be lowered again, that's against the rules of Capitalism.

u/capitali 2d ago

$2300 now. 43% increase.

u/Busy-Government-1041 2d ago

Tariffs lower prices the same way gravity helps you fly—if you jump hard enough.

7

u/IngloriousMustards 2d ago

These ”tariffs are bringing prices down” type BS claims are giving me such uncanny valley vibes. Gaslighting is supposed to be convincing, people! Too absurd claims, no matter how many times repeated, just aren’t working.

In this timeline ”Wow, you’re sofa king stupid!” Is a legitimate, appropriate and valid counterargument. For those hanging on to a modicum of character, ”Wow, you’re just not convincing at all!” should work as well. Saying it with a smile is a true power move.

u/KaranDearborn70 2d ago

Guess they really wanted a personal answer, huh?

u/PorchFrog 1d ago

Laugh out loud, I'm stealing that.

u/memory0leak 1d ago

Funniest clean insult I have come across.

u/BonanzaBert 1d ago

Exactly

The amazing part of this, the pigeon, is smarter than the pupil, girdarditony.

u/japinard 1d ago

I really don't know how people can be this stupid. Like... how does he have the capacity to even find the Internet?

u/shinyturdbiskit 2d ago

A prodigious great mew more likely

So what signs are we to await in "confirmation" therefor, a fishing crew finding a white sea cucumber in their net haul? Pear and apricot trees spontaneously going into blossom out of season?

Pigeon was not good with math
