Conservatism is a mental disorder.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 13 points 12 hours ago

The kakistocracy continues to worsen.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

So much for not liking losers. I guess if you're fascist enough pedo Trump will make an exception.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

Morcheeba dropped a banger about this phenomenon some years ago

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 points 13 hours ago

I guess the bribe arrived.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 5 points 12 hours ago

Put them in a ring together!

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 240 points 1 day ago (4 children)

you know, I have got to hand it to trump, he's really impressed me. I think we all owe him a bit of grudging respect. we constantly put him down, day after day, but here he is. not only consistently showing up, despite his decrepit appearance, but proving once again that he absolutely CAN do something even stupider than what he did the day before. this sort of exponential stupidity takes effort, ladies and gents.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 43 points 22 hours ago

The guy once stated that he doesn’t really feel his personality has changed since the first grade. This was probably one of his more honest statements.

It’s not effort or work you are seeing. It’s a child’s guile wrapped in an adult’s body.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 70 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Plot twist. It doesn't take effort. It just comes natural.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

when your a star, they just let you do it

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 8 points 21 hours ago

My new brain canon is now that he somehow said the wrong "your" because that seems on brand

Never interrupt your enemy when he's making mistakes.
Thank you comrade Trump

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

The whole administration consists of the most vile, revolting and off-putting people, he'll fit right in.

[–] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Carrot Top and Andy Dick have declined senior posts in the administration for fear of damaging their serious reputation. Rob Snyder is on the fence. Scott Baio is actually a liability at this point.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

And when Trumby finally keels over, Logan will be right there with a camera to make a video about it, it's perfect

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

That's the only time I'd ever be willing to watch his content.

There's gonna be a fight during the White House UFC event where the winner gets a cabinet position, isn't there?...

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

The new ballroom doubles as a ring.

TOTAL RATINGS DISASTER

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 18 points 21 hours ago

What a competent man trump is. He'll rape your daughter and then endorse Paul in the same day. I think trump should enter the ring against Anthony Joshua just like Paul did and every non-abusing father should get a front row seat.

[–] eddie@feddit.online 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

another classic example of qualified political leadership who came from the disney-channel-child-actor=to-us-political-official pipeline

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The paul brothers came from the disney channel?

Damn. I thought they started as youtube vloggers that pissed on a japanese grave or some shit.

[–] brosaph@lemmy.world 14 points 23 hours ago

Pretty sure Logan uploaded a video showing a dead body in the suicide forest

[–] digitalFatteh@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago

Odd that the Paul brothers like hanging out with child fuckers, traffickers and molesters amongst other people with the Republican Party.

Guess they just enjoy the like minded company …

[–] gary215@thelemmy.club 27 points 1 day ago

Of course he would, he only picks the best of the scum of the USA. He's proven that point over and over again.

[–] xerxes@piefed.social 20 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It turns out "idiocracy" is actually a documentary.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 32 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

President Camacho

I would vote for this man over Trump in a heartbeat!

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Camacho definitely understood there was a problem, sought after someone much smarter to help solve it. Can't say any politician today would be humbled to do something like that.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago

Camacho actually cared about his people and did his best to help.

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 15 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'd honestly prefer that scenario to our current one. At least they were just stupid and not cartoonishly evil.

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 20 points 22 hours ago

It's been said many times, but to say it a different way: the government and Camacho in Idiocracy were much much better, since they immediately elevated the smartest person they could find to a cabinet-level post and accepted help rather than just lied about the problem.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Don't Look Up is more fitting as a documentary of our times. In lots of ways.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Fucking infuriating movie. Not because it's bad, but because it is so fucking spot on about every single political issue in USA (and to a lesser extend, but still fitting, the rest of the world). I know it's a metaphor for climate change, but every single political issue in USA is dealt with just as moronically as climate change.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, I mean it was most overtly a commentary on climate change, but to a great extent it really was about the problems with current politics.

I'm right there with you, it was infuriating, and absolutely right, and great, so now what do I do?

PAUL BROTHERS TOUCHED

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago

Senator Jake Paul. America would be a hell of a lot more funny if it wasn't taking us all down with it.
