I really hope this won't become some sort of tradition now

A propaganda boy, and in more than one sense.

The next four years are going to be very interesting to watch. If the first try was disastrous, the second is poised to be even worst.

America, you were once a country that could muster respect.

I'm a "no, Pepsi isn't ok" guy, but I'm never drinking Coke again. Because from now on it tastes like kissing Trump's ass.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, gave up Pepsi over their continued involvement in Russia, now I'm giving up Coke over their involvement with a Russian stooge.

I'm at RC right now.

Do yourself a favor and drink water instead. Your teeth and testicles will thank you

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 5 hours ago

I second this.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 24 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Wow he looks bad. Did he lose a bunch of weight? He looks frail. And a lot older.

Celebratory cocaine

I hope he's ok for 2-3ish years. Vance having a real chance at 10 years as POTUS is terrifying

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 13 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

I was about to say "Vance is such a weak personality he could never be elected" and then i remembered how useless the Dems are so who fucking knows.

He's guaranteed because the Republican-led states will make sure he gets their EC votes regardless of how the populace actually votes. There will be nothing to stop them any more.

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I think the country is fucked as well, but I don't think the gop can deliver the cuop de grace to democracy in the US in a single presidential term.

Personally I think it's a matter of time before there is an uprising from the citizens, it won't matter who runs the government when capitalism finally catches up to the majority of the population, you can't believe in bootstraps when every person you know is living paycheck to paycheck.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 17 hours ago

Vance doesn't have any charisma, though.

Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm gonna piss on his grave.

I'll do rhyming later.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I'm gonna piss on his grave

I guarantee that it's true

That one's free.

[–] DanVctr@sh.itjust.works 3 points 15 hours ago

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I'll piss on his grave

And make sure it comes true

Free edit for you as well ✌️

Lol morons paying this dude a million and Coke comes in with a 5 dollar commemorative.

[–] Etterra 12 points 19 hours ago

Marketing rule #1, know your market. Note that you don't need to actually need to have taken marketing classes to know this. So congratulations on doing what anyone with more than two brain cells could figure out, ya rich CEO jackass.

Diet Coke tastes like shit

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 78 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It was a lot of people's jobs for months now creating some special bottle and box for this PR moment... none of this should exist. It reminds me of stories about the Middle Ages, where people would come before the king and shower them with gifts to make sure they are appeased.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 17 hours ago

Apparently Coke does this shit for every presidential elecrion and governors too but this is the only time it was diet and hand delivered by the ceo.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

A graphic designer could whip that up after lunch.

Everyone is lining up to kiss his puckered arsehole.

He has the most insincere smile ever. It would be hard to make a real person appear more cartoonishly evil.

[–] quafeinum@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)
[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Good point, although he looks more creepy than full-blown evil.

[–] quafeinum@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Idk man.. his lifeless eyes and his fake grin knowing full well that he’s full of shit and exploits children for profit sounds fucking evil tbh

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 9 points 22 hours ago

That's a real smile for once, it looks weird because he has wooden teeth.

[–] Matthew_Gasoline@lemmy.world 105 points 1 day ago (3 children)

He'll need a NASCAR type jacket, featuring all of his sponsors. I just can't keep up anymore.

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 1 day ago (6 children)

We need that for all the politicians. Only a tiny handful would have blank jackets.

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

This would be a good use case for AR—just slip on your glasses and see all their sponsors’ logos adjusted to scale according to the size of their ~~bribe~~ donations

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 hours ago

If the plebes have to wear a uniform to their minimum wage drug tested job so should our elites

It's pathetic watching these bootlickers

[–] harrybo93@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Never seen him looking so fucking old and wrinkled

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago (5 children)

To be fair, he is older than ever before.

Actually I think some of it is the weight he's lost recently.

But I am looking forward to him being dead, yes.

I bet the back of the bottle says only people with very large hands and a big a-brain can possess it

President Donald John Coca-Cola Trump.

Just wait until he gets his inaugural Big Mac.

[–] slickgoat@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Let me get this right. He's winning a paper commercial label with gum on it?
