How long before the Presidency starts hosting monster truck themed executions at the Whitehouse? It can't be much longer now.

The Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert shows will be replaced with everyone’s favourite hit, “Ow! My Balls!”

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

Go away, batin'!

[–] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago

Which is classic real conservative American humor. People getting hurt.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Japan beat us to that one like a half a dozen times by now and still have a functioning society.

Camacho was actually a fairly good president compared to your current guy. Consider:

He appointed an expert to fix a problem he couldn't and actually took his advice.

He was willing to course correct when new information was presented to him.

I don't believe that President Camacho was a disgusting pedo.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 14 points 1 month ago

Except Camacho was actually humble and driven entirely by duty. So much so that when they found someone he knew was smarter than him he was fully ready to give up his office. It was a matter of practicality and not ego for him.

This is some hick-ass shit

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Guy knows his base (if nothing else).

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This guy will do absolutely anything to distract from the fact he refuses to release the Epstein Files, which he is CLEARLY named multiple times in... Possibly hundreds of times.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Likely more than that. Didn't he task like 1,000 FBI agents to work long hours redacting his name?

Isn't he Doe174?

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Oh this was set up well before all that. UFC and Trump inked this deal back in, like, April as I remember.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ten bucks says this is all happening because, somewhere along the way, someone explained to him that an octagon has more sides than a pentagon.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Isn't Egypt building a proper octagon as their defence HQ?

[–] karashta@piefed.social 29 points 1 month ago

He is such trash

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow, now that's a not-the-onion post for sure, yikes.

Oddly, not the first time people did trashy shit on the White House lawn. Look up Andrew Jacksons fucking hillbilly BBQs--- just as racist, too!

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I came in this thread to post something like

Andrew Jackson's back

Or

Andrew Jackson, is that you?

After this, the next thing is WWE at the white house, giving the favour back to Vince McMahon

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month ago

Stay classy, America.

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

lol so trashy. Idiocracy in action.

Water? Like from a toilet?

Somebody fucking shoot him already. Jesus christ end this fucking nightmare.

[–] nnullzz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Honestly, the follow up with Vance + Thiel taking the reins scares me a whole lot more.

I was so sure that it was The Onion just by reading the headline. Well… fuck.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is it going to be two black wage slaves, trying to feed their families?

[–] Lorax@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

Trump getting into the Mandingo game...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 1 month ago

In 2056 a meme starts going around about how in 2026 JD Vance threw Donald Trump off the Hell in a Cell cage on the White House lawn, and he plummeted 16 feet through the announcer's table.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Lol.

The presidency. The White House. Medals of Freedom. Our democracy.

None of these mean anything anymore.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 10 points 1 month ago

Right after he opens a trailer park on the Mall.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 1 month ago

read this headline like four times lol

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

That almost looks like a distraction from something.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

If Trump turns the White House into a professional wrestling theme park, I'm buying shares. Just saying :)
