Plot twist. It doesn't take effort. It just comes natural.

My new brain canon is now that he somehow said the wrong "your" because that seems on brand

[-] Zephorah@discuss.online 42 points 2 months ago

The guy once stated that he doesn’t really feel his personality has changed since the first grade. This was probably one of his more honest statements.

It’s not effort or work you are seeing. It’s a child’s guile wrapped in an adult’s body.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Keep that statement saved. You'll need it again soon.

another classic example of qualified political leadership who came from the disney-channel-child-actor=to-us-political-official pipeline

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

The paul brothers came from the disney channel?

Damn. I thought they started as youtube vloggers that pissed on a japanese grave or some shit.

[-] brosaph@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure Logan uploaded a video showing a dead body in the suicide forest

[-] gary215@thelemmy.club 26 points 2 months ago

Of course he would, he only picks the best of the scum of the USA. He's proven that point over and over again.

[-] digitalFatteh@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 months ago

Odd that the Paul brothers like hanging out with child fuckers, traffickers and molesters amongst other people with the Republican Party.

Guess they just enjoy the like minded company …

It turns out "idiocracy" is actually a documentary.

President Camacho

I would vote for this man over Trump in a heartbeat!

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 15 points 2 months ago

Camacho definitely understood there was a problem, sought after someone much smarter to help solve it. Can't say any politician today would be humbled to do something like that.

[-] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Camacho actually cared about his people and did his best to help.

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

I'd honestly prefer that scenario to our current one. At least they were just stupid and not cartoonishly evil.

[-] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

It's been said many times, but to say it a different way: the government and Camacho in Idiocracy were much much better, since they immediately elevated the smartest person they could find to a cabinet-level post and accepted help rather than just lied about the problem.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 11 points 2 months ago

Don't Look Up is more fitting as a documentary of our times. In lots of ways.

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 6 points 2 months ago

Fucking infuriating movie. Not because it's bad, but because it is so fucking spot on about every single political issue in USA (and to a lesser extend, but still fitting, the rest of the world). I know it's a metaphor for climate change, but every single political issue in USA is dealt with just as moronically as climate change.

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I mean it was most overtly a commentary on climate change, but to a great extent it really was about the problems with current politics.

I'm right there with you, it was infuriating, and absolutely right, and great, so now what do I do?

[-] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago

What a competent man trump is. He'll rape your daughter and then endorse Paul in the same day. I think trump should enter the ring against Anthony Joshua just like Paul did and every non-abusing father should get a front row seat.

Senator Jake Paul. America would be a hell of a lot more funny if it wasn't taking us all down with it.

[-] rem26_art@fedia.io 8 points 2 months ago

Jake Paul will be 35 in 2032, which i guess means he could run for president that year. Mr. Beast won't be able to run till 2036.

Both of these are nightmare options

[-] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Shit, beast is going to restart USAID just to create the most morbid possible humanitarian effort (televised on CBS, of course).

Malnourished kids are going to fight in a pit over chicken bones.

You need to be a certain age to run for president in America? I understand minors but I’m talking about adults.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Yes, you have to be 35.

[-] Link@rentadrunk.org 1 points 2 months ago

Is there a reason for this? Is it experience?

Because if so surely there should be an max age limit too? You shouldn’t be able to run if you are nearly 80 with dementia…

[-] rem26_art@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

I don't really know the reason why 35 specifically. It's been that way since the Constitution was written. Maybe they felt anyone under 35 couldn't have had enough life experience to properly carry out the duties of office? As for why no max age limit, no clue there either

[-] baronvonj@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

The reason is simply that the Constitution says so since the beginning.

[-] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Old people set the ages for office and for some reason they always forget the ceiling.

[-] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

So much for not liking losers. I guess if you're fascist enough pedo Trump will make an exception.

And that dumbass would be better than the rest of the dipshits in the Trump cabinet.

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 2 points 2 months ago

I'm really not convinced he would... He's just as much a piece of shit as anyone in the cabinet.
