I hate that this meme and dog has become associated with crypto, Elon Musk and Republicans.

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 53 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Digital cultural appropriation

[–] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 37 points 2 months ago

First they came for Pepe, but I didn't speak up cause I didn't post Pepe memes. Then they came for Twitter. But I didn't speak up cause I wasn't on Twitter. Then they came for my Doge, but there was no one left to speak for me.

Or some more smart joke like that.

Shiba Inus don't deserve to be associated with fascism.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 60 points 2 months ago

Just dying empire things.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 58 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I refused to believe it was real. It's real.

Jesus we're a joke

I think musk is getting off on the new throne from which to infuriate the wokerati. He's trolling. I suspect that this won't rate a blip on the list of shitte things this dept does.

Nothing more efficient than creating an entire quasi governmental branch of bureaucracy to oversee the bureaucracy

[–] sonori 4 points 2 months ago

A tripley redundant one two.

I mean you’d think he’d at least merge with Ragan’s one.

The main whitehouse.gov site removed the Constitution page from it.

[–] __nobodynowhere@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Constitution? Where we're going we don't need constitutions!

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I REALLY don't get this one. Aren't the alt right obsessed with patriotism shit? Why would they remove the constitution? Then again I'm not American so I don't know the nuances.

Have you seen the Spanish version?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/es/

Edit: nevermind they "fixed" it, it used to say Go Home

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Holy shit. Did you grab a screenshot before they changed it?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Joder.

“Go home” is even worse than

[–] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not that I don't believe you, but I checked archive.org and unfortunately it's not there so hopefully you screen capped it. For me right now it just gives a 404

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately not, I'll try and find a source for it

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Seems they changed the logo

[–] LoamImprovement 13 points 2 months ago

Gross, AI gen artwork

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

So much worse but also better to not shitstain the doggo

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

I guess using stolen AI slop for a logo is efficient

Yes. Of course. That makes total sense. /s

[–] ilost7489@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

To award the oligarchs

[–] Transtronaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

I assume it's to settle a bet with some other oligarch.

[–] LoamImprovement 7 points 2 months ago

They say history repeats itself but I don't remember hearing about Nero throwing gas on the fire between songs.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Trump government. In no way shape or form is that a US government thing

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

America wanted this, you can say what you want but America wanted this. They voted him into power twice.

He won by far, and got the popular vote.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He won by cheating as he always has. Elrod muks handed him the keys to the kingdom that he wouldn't have gotten w/o the s.a. ssmbs

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Look I also hate the guy, but it feels like a bit of a far stretch to say he cheated?

What shred of evidence is there?

[–] lena@gregtech.eu 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How did they get this approved

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

They don’t need anyone’s approval. They’re in charge. This is a flex.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

Americas citizens voted them into the highest office in the land (either directly or passively).

There is no more 'get this approved'; just 'this is what I've decided, deal with it'.
