Even President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho didn't waste money like this.

Building a clown arena at the circus.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 43 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

As a circus performer, I'd like to take a moment to point out that the circus is traditionally full of outcasts and artists who challenge the status quo and are often exploited by capitalism. It's also given us antifascist icons like Josephine Baker.

I know it's a common saying and I'm just pissing into the ocean here, but I'm just trying to make a small change for the better. This dumpster fire of a regime could not run a circus if they wanted to.

I wonder how Fox Mews is going to spin it when the orange pedo starts drooling over the UFC fighters and starts telling them how sexy and gorgeous they are...

I'm pretty sure you need to be over 18 to qualify for ufc...

I'm expecting them to give him a title belt they just invented.

Nah but he will go on at length about how big a man he is and everybody says he should have had a career as a great fighter more and more. Bigly.

Just wondering when Iran is gonna have those ICBMs ready.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

It’s ironic how just pictures of the building (or lack of) itself is more truthful about what’s going on than anyone in the administration.

Great, there will be crowds there. Maybe overwhelmed security. Confusing lights. Good opportunity to take a shot.
