Is this showing filtered for anyone else?

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 hours ago

I can see the image of clowns, seems fine for me.

Do you want ?

Because thats how we get .

I'd vote President Camacho before Trump. At least the fictional one has the ability, however feeble, to understand new ideas and change.

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

President Camacho acknowledged Not Sure being the smartest man alive and trusted him to fix things. So reality is much worse than Idiocracy

Wait, are you saying Elon Musk isn't the smartest man alive? /s

[–] 1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee 18 points 6 hours ago

I would much rather president Camacho and Not Sure instead of Trump and a bunch of celebrities.

Trump cant even hold a gun like that.

We already had Jessie Ventura for Governor here, it was entertaining as a kid, but now this...

I'm just done with this toon town administration, and it hasn't even started yet.

In fairness, she can’t be any worse than Betsy DeVoss.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 hours ago

Prepare to be surprised. Betsy Devo's is definitely a piece of shit, but she's nothing compared to the monster that is Linda McMahon.

[–] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 12 points 6 hours ago

Not surprising as some will likely think this is. McMahon ran the SBA from 2017 to 2019.

Additionally, she served as a member of the Connecticut State Board of Education for about a year until a legal opinion was given that she couldn't solicit for campaign money, which apparently using your position to solicit for ~~bribes~~ er donations was just a bridge too far for her.

She's also a chair for A1P a SuperPAC that unsurprisingly gave heavily to Trump in the 2024 elections.

That said, she's absolutely getting the position as a reward and so that she can wet her beak. I would say she has zero morals or ethics, but I think that's putting way too positive a spin what she's likely going to do while in office.

I'm for this but only if teachers can powerbomb unruly students.
