Doge sees nothing wrong with this? They cut healthcare but they don't cut a boxing match in the white house?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 21 hours ago

That's not boxing, its rasslin'.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

I guess they were saving the money for this.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

I bet the cage will be gold since Trump loves gold.

What a fucking lowlife.

But how is this euro news?

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 17 hours ago

Euronews reports on events outside of Europe as well as within.

It's not, but it's damn funny. The obese orange turd officially showing the world just how classy the whitehouse is.

Is this the circuses part of “bread and circuses”?

[–] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Bread and Circuses is a tricky phrase, but no. This isn't for the People, it's for the Emperor. (The Emperor also wants to take people's bread away)

Thank you for the link!

I am surprised they did not set up a colosseum and have migrants fight to the death. Keep it tacky MAGAts.

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 22 hours ago

Oh that was floated as a reality TV show.

I've already seen it done better than they could ever put on, although I'd love to watch the lard orange attempt to enter the arena in Auntie's zipline throne.

As a son of bandits, bastards, and traitors am I allowed to say I hope the ATC fucks up resulting in the entire fucking thing going up in a grand old explosion? Assuming the US survives mind you, getting real fucked Soviet Union circa 1990 in some areas, be a right shame if the Eastern seaboard ended up being under the flag of a Neo-Continental Congress.

How much is UFC getting for this? Another giant fucking waste of money from the GOP besides being so, so tacky. I don't want to hear one fucking word ever again about how our tax money is being wasted by any Democrat. I guess these fucking assholes would rather watch some dumb apes beat the shit out of each other than feed people, sad.

Is this their colosseum? Are we going to get 100 days of holidays per year and they're going to do the thumbs up/down to decide someone's fate as a distraction from how shitty things are?

Let us never forget that wealthy "business men" can be tasteless white trash too. And pedophiles. Actually that overlap is practically a circle.

every time someone has said "this is now Idiocracy", they knew NOTHING.

He could not be the next pope, but being alike Maximus is now within reach

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I have never once in my entire life seen anyone do a thumbs-down in this weird toddlery way.

Is this an AI picture?

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago
