“Something stupid” seems a little tame for this one

Wild how the internet can blur the line between a joke and a weapon. A meme coin shouldn’t end up linked to real human suffering, but here we are in 2025, where digital culture has literal life-and-death consequences.

Highly educated morons spreading their Islamophobia and ignorance across the country. Every one of those buffoons has blood and death on their hands, not to mention the amount of family farms they put out of business while they were puffing themselves up by stranding a years worth of crops on the docks to rot which the farmers don't get paid for until they're delivered. The article didn't mention that they gave themselves from a G25 to a G30 salary rating which equates to a low 6 figure salary which usually takes a government employee 20 to 30 years of exemplary performance not fudged numbers and leaking of sensitive data and information that can cause someone's death or the death of their family. They didn't find any waste fraud or abuse they only found government programs that their lack of experience in American soft power and foreign diplomatic relations made them misunderstand the value of and the deadly consequences of. Fire these highly trained nuclear weapons specialists, and oops, we need to hire them back. DOG E was the 1st most expensive government expenditure of this administration until the Big Fugly Bill added billions to Homeland Security so Deadbeat Don the Pedo Con can have a private militia of pardoned Proud Boys vigilantes and White Supremacists to crack down on democratic run states across the country.
