Which is appropriately worded as not a “slam dunk obviously illegal bribe”. Technically, in the absence of a direct offer to a specific group or individual, such a promise may count. But what does count is the continued insult to your intelligence. After all the non existent payouts for wild promises in recent history (tariff checks, DOGE checks), you should be wary that the possibility that suddenly this time it’s serious seems dubious to the point of having about a zero % chance of happening. If the head cheerleader runs for class president and gave everyone a cupcake, regardless of school policies everyone got a cupcake. So there’s that. If only a select group got cupcakes, at least some people got a cupcake. If some people got cupcakes and not others after everyone got promised cupcakes, those without cupcakes are left with a better chance of feeling resentful that they were lied to.
And no one gets cupcakes, only the most boot licking of the cheerleader’s inner circle don’t care. The peasants just get to waste their vote and hopefully realize that they should be wary.
And the next time you were offered a cupcake for loyalty - think about it. In the big picture a $5,000 payment is not going to help much when it can easily be recouped by a tax law change a couple years down the road. It’s not a multi-million dollar lottery windfall. It’s an economic cupcake. And when you factor in the present value of cupcakes correctly adjusted for prior market performance of cupcakes you should expect that the real cupcake economists who follow the cupcake commodities charts laugh at how this plays out.
Let’s add some context about object permanence.
As infants develop they learn object permanence. Once the stuffed unicorn leaves sight does not mean it’s gone forever. Trump’s brain is moving in the opposite direction. Previously he was a corrupt, bigoted mentally ill sufferer of NPD. Now he’s added short term memory loss (dementia) to that list. The “thought” may come from the mouth, but the permanence it was ever uttered has left the building.
Adding further context let’s talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome. Originally added to the lingo as a slur against liberals. Other countries have grown 🥱 of U.S.bullying tactics. They were never burdened with U.S. nationalism. Many have different religions. Many have the “wrong” skin color. The only thing that held them in check was the U.S. lock on funding fossil fuel transactions - the Petrodollar. Having managed to antagonize about 200% of the 100% of other countries, U.S. alliances are gone. Trading partners are gone. Soft power goodwill is gone. And gas prices are still going up. TDS was the psychological projection equivalent of, “I’m not crazy, you are”, with no sources cited to back it up. Mathematically, if being deranged for hating Trump is a real thing there are literally billions of people with TDS.
But don’t worry, you won’t get a cupcake. You’ll get more vague promises of cupcakes.
In the old days as gematria decoding working its way towards propaganda and beyond its openly boosted format of sports betting, the Attaboy!TM was born. I sarcastically called these “winning a cookie”. (Oh if only I had said cupcakes instead.) As the years wore on, Hubbard kept going to the well over and over and over. Cookies were won for finding Pi (not pie), 666, 113 and other meme numbers. Patreon subscriptions were given, sucking money instead of just joy from people’s lives. No verifiable success stories were presented. Promises were broken. In the big picture, not really worth too much attention anymore, unless you are interested in how the Alt Right pipeline works.
Here’s the most recent Sports Gematria YouTube account video of Zachnanigans.
The usual good stuff. Zach acting like a demogogue wannabe younger version of Trump with a still functioning prefrontal cortex. Going to the well with the same lies to this day despite knowing that someone is paying attention and keeping track of- a sort of investigative journalist. And around the 41 minute mark, the same going to the well sad, overwork excuse. An accusation of Zach Derangement Syndrome. You must be mentally ill to deny that my psychopathic greed is anything but a good thing. The projection throughout the 45 minutes of Zachnanigans is staggering. It’s difficult to imagine a better example of not learning from your mistakes and correcting course. But that’s part and parcel of making content for money instead of content for being right about stuff. Well know it’s finally over when the offer of cookies, cupcakes, and pies are all that’s left.
