Afroman for US President. He's just as qualified as the current one

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 131 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Even more qualified. Being a decent human being makes You more qualified. Being able to put together a coherent sentence makes You more qualified. It is, in fact, difficult to imagine someone less qualified to be president, than Trump.

Hey, don't slander Trump like that! I'm sure there are plenty of newborn babies out there whose mothers smoked crack while pregnant. At least one of them must be less qualified than him, statistically.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Incorrect. Trump is the most unqualified.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

Surely he can't be less qualified than Don Jr and Eric, though?

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Even more qualified.

That's not a high bar to clear TBH

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I was gonna clear the bar, but it was too high.

Explaining the joke always makes it funnier.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago

That was sarcasm. It was used to express that jokes become less humorous when someone tries to explain them.

Being a decent human being makes You more qualified

I thought that was grounds for disqualification?

Worth pointing out that Afroman is a dedicated Trumper and likened the raid on his home to the FBI raid on Maralago during the documents case.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Oof. This really shifts my perception of him.

[–] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

If we accept Afroman now he may just be ready in time for 2028. If we don't it's going to be another 2016.

[–] wesdym@mastodon.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

@UnspecificGravity Honestly, he strikes me as just kind of dumb and immature. "Hunter Got High". Oh, that's very clever, Joe. I bet the other kids at the food court after school found it hilarious. He's like a stoner version of John Valby.

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That is basically every Trumper I know in real life. Just really stupid and childish people who respond to memes as if they are actual information upon which to make a decision.

Mostly they are also too stupid and lazy to actually vote, so they are relatively harmless.

Until they're weaponized...

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wouldn't be opposed to him running as a Republican...

But he sure as shit shouldn't be allowed to take a spot in any election from an actual Dem.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

First snoop now this, are there no actual hoopy froods in the rap game?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Froods are rare on this planet, hoopy ones even more so.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

He’s going to need a lot more felonies.

Watched his testimony. Aftoman is intelligent, thoughtful, and well-spoken - way more qualified than the Rapist-in-Chief.
