Put them in a ring together!

The kakistocracy continues to worsen.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 2 hours ago

I guess the bribe arrived.

PAUL BROTHERS TOUCHED

TOTAL RATINGS DISASTER

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 2 points 3 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 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 206 points 13 hours ago (3 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 31 points 11 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 61 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 28 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

when your a star, they just let you do it

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Keep that statement saved. You'll need it again soon.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 5 points 11 hours ago

yeah, like tomorrow

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.

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 13 hours ago

The new ballroom doubles as a ring.

[–] xerxes@piefed.social 21 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

It turns out "idiocracy" is actually a documentary.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 28 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

President Camacho

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

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 14 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 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 19 points 11 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 10 points 11 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 5 hours ago

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.

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 17 points 13 hours 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 12 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] digitalFatteh@lemmy.ca 22 points 13 hours 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 13 hours 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.

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 11 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 8 points 13 hours ago

Of course he would.

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

It’s like we as a county are playing a game of, “locate and find the worst of humanity and put them in public office “

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 5 points 12 hours ago (7 children)

Jake Paul will be 35 in 2032, which i guess means he could run for president that year. Mr. Beast won't be able to run till 2036.

Both of these are nightmare options

Shit, beast is going to restart USAID just to create the most morbid possible humanitarian effort (televised on CBS, of course).

Malnourished kids are going to fight in a pit over chicken bones.
