I couldn't make this up even if I were tripping. like, 90s, 3 hits of acid, lost in Prospect Park tripping

Even their propaganda is stupid...

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’d be hilarious if he weren’t president.

Great satire.

The problem is, it’s not satire and he is president.

worst fake prez ever

I think part of the brilliance of it is that it still gets a lot of traction because of how absurd and entertaining it is

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think it's entertaining at all bud.

This guy is literally responsible for the direct slaughter of thousands.

The President of the United States is a monster

The DOJ closed the Epstein files so we could focus on pressing issues this.

There's been such a string of madness coming the us in... the last two days, it had to be topped with something right out of a movie with Lloyd Bridges

[–] homes@piefed.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Lloyd Bridges had talent while being genuinely funny and entertaining.

Trump is insane, whose incompetence at destroying the world is only - occasionally - entertaining but I never thought that the world might end because Lloyd Bridges sniffed some glue and fell out of a window.

Well, I’m glad you get it, but a shockingly large amount of others don’t

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just didn't want to compare Trump to anybody even remotely nice, it's just... the absurdity of it all... it could have been a comedy is what I'm saying. In another timeline

[–] homes@piefed.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

in another timeline, they'd have set it on fire and run away screaming

there's nothing funny about any of this

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 1 day ago

I'm not following, set what on fire ?

lol, it's not treason if the government is fascist :)

[–] quack@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

Does anyone actually buy this kind of thing? Like I know his base is irredeemably stupid, but still.

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

He's just marketing to the lowest form of sucker.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Only because it's such a massive demographic, and the only one that will buy his bullshit. It's been working magnificently for him.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

He's ~~just marketing to~~ the lowest form of [Bubba] sucker.

Fixed that for you. 😝

Our dementia grandfather is running the country.

[–] homes@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I already have to take medications, plus a weed prescription for an anxiety disorder. I don't need you reminding me of that bullshit.

I'm here aren't I?

Lol he's probably hurting McDonald's business. Like a shit Midas

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I've been boycotting them since 2024 when he did that stupid drive thru stunt and McDs corporate was silent about it.

I don't miss it. It's barely classified as food anyway, not to mention getting more expensive... Bye Felicia

If I were flippin that day, I be spittin that day.

[–] homes@piefed.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

no idea what that means, but I'm willing to learn!

[–] MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If I cooked his burger, I’d spit in it. Might even swap that pee for an h.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Hey. Question.

What would it take to get him an all -he-he-can-eat subscription to more burgers and fires?

Don’t look at me like that. Cholesterol is a bitch and I don’t think we can get blamed for that.

[–] homes@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago

ah, got it. :P

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Real missed opportunity there, Doordash driver.

[–] hitstun@feddit.online 3 points 1 day ago

Indeed, she could've been a national hero.
