I was hoping to see Justin Trudeau box djt one day.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

He's too busy bangin Katy Perry's box.

The Orange Shitstain vs the Lunatic Ayatollah would be better.

Kropp on the other hand is a thinker. He proposes that a declaration of war should be a kind of popular festival with entrance-tickets and bands, like a bull-fight. Then in the arena the ministers and generals of the two countries, dressed in bathing-drawers and armed with clubs, can have it out among themselves.

That's the same picture

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Okay but I want to be on that fight card. I have challenged Stephen Miller dozens, maybe even hundreds, of times at this point.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure in a fair fight I could take RFK and Kid Rock together.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

RFK and Kid Rock would unironically make a hilarious comedy duo as villains in a Jackie Chan movie

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago

Let’s go!

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Promise to also give him a wedgie and a wet willy for me. For the good old times sake.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago

I’m gonna make him cry and eat dirt.

We really are living in the Idiocracy timeline.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's way worse, Idiocracy had good faith leaders, our are pieces of shit.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

they only had good faith leaders long after the pieces of shit had set the world up in a way where everything would be shit unless someone had some sort of cold storage device for humans that would wake them up 500 years later

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Where can we sign up to be put into cold storage?

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

first you gotta join the army, then be the most average person possible, and also have no drive to do anything. good luck

[–] DaGreenGobbo@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm halfway there! But somehow I'm the second half of the way there.

would be the first cage fight i ever watched

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 45 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Ironically, I actually saw the cage fight where The Undertaker took out Mankind. I was visiting someone who was a big WWF fan and they had it playing.

Non-scripted fighting? Can’t say I’ve ever watched that.

[–] OS2Warp@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

I miss ShittyMorph.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Widely regarded as one of the best wrestling matches of all time.

If you look into that event, its not entirely as scripted as you think, which is partly why it was such a shocking event. Mankind did take a huge risk and I'd argue he very easily could have died.

We were supposed to see Zuckerberg and musk, but then musks mom said he couldn’t play. Then we were all sad.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

We all knew Musk would bitch out.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is our regularly scheduled reminder that we absolutely need celebrity death match to be brought back.

Someone just rip the idea off if the rights are unattainable.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Now a fight to the death, that I could get behind. I'm thinking we give hunter a net and trident, and don jr idk. Gladiator game, nationally televised. Fuck yeah, let's do it.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago

I'm in! Any situation where trumps get punched in the face is ok by me.

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

I absolutely hate this timeline 🙄

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Watch Junior try to spin this as a threat on his life and get Hunter gulag-ed. Wouldn't put it past those thin-skinned crybullies.

I want to see Hunter smash the shit out of stephen miller.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I'd like to see anyone clobber PeeWee Himmler, but I'd prefer it to be a minority, and/or a woman. I'd LOVE to see an Abuela beat him into a sobbing fetal position with a chancla.

I'd watch that.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

There is no yield, only death is the test of it....

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Let's fucking go. Should be a monthly fight.

I mean the vulgarity of the event is obvious. And the mental image of Hunter bitchslapping Jr is enticing.

However this kind of exchange in itself is so far of the classy scale, more in the trailer park terms of conversation.

It’ll never happen. They are bullies. Push comes to shove — cowards.
