The picture of the white house in front of the white house somehow gives me a powerful message: everything in this place is fake, nothing is well thought out.

Like he wanted to have his redneck show in front of the house and then someone told him "uh sir we can't actually see the white house from there, there's all your UFC stuff in front of it". "Oh. Meh, put a picture".

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

As a hick, please don't call this Redneck it's below even our standards on average and also tends to at least be cheap. Call it classless white trash profligacy.

We didn't need a sequel to idiocracy.

[-] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

This is more of a prequel.

[-] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago

Hold on now, this is the prequel!

Is that a picture of the white house on scaffolding?

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

No, there's a scaffold in front of the WH to support the asinine UFC fights tonight (and the stands for those). It's a temporary structure, theoretically (though of course, Dear Leader has floated the idea "as a joke" of just keeping it in place permanently "for other events".)

[-] adarza@piefed.ca 10 points 1 month ago

for other events

i can think of one or two.........

Sigh..... yes. I don't even know what's happening anymore.

[-] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

It’s a picture of the White House on meth and stupidity.

My non-american mind failed to understand why a picture of seemingly the white house is infront of the white house?

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 month ago

The view from there is currently blocked by the UFC ring they’ve been building for a couple weeks now

[-] 0ops@piefed.zip 35 points 1 month ago

Damn it nitro circus. I used to think you guys were cool when I was a kid

[-] iamerror710@feddit.online 16 points 1 month ago

That’s where I’m at. I used to play as Deegan on Freekstyle all the time. Nitro Circus is dead to me now.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Motorsport politics is like Russian Roulette with a semi-auto, unfortunately.

The guys who created Idiocracy should create a documentary style “prequel” showing how Trump leads us down the path to Idiocracy.

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

“I mean, in a way Idiocracy kind of looks optimistic right now,” Mike Judge tells The Daily Beast by phone from his Los Angeles office.

At least the president in that movie gave a shit about his people.

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Someone else mentioned that he also hired the most qualified person and provided the resources to solve an existential problem.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

Yes, we live in a world where dystopian stories from just a few decades ago are looking good.

Some countries have universal healthcare paid by their tax dollars instead of roller rink cheeto's circus.

Some countries have no homeless because their tax dollars help the citizenry instead of lining the orange criminal's pockets.

Some countries feed their children so that no child goes hungry in the midst of plenty.

Some countries don't have a fucking fascist shitbag lying and stealing and grabbing anything not nailed down.

[-] moustachio@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

To be fair, even before the orange shitbag, America didn’t address those things and instead funneled money into a few different shitbag’s & criminal’s pockets.

If anything orange shitbag is a good rep for what the U.S. be like for decades if not centuries.

We are in a fucking idiocracy. This is exactly the type of stuff that was in that movie.

When's he going to have the whole building painted gold? I mean, The Gold House would be much classier than The White House.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Just wait until he cheats the 2026 elections, and suddenly his party controls 2/3rds of everything, including the power to do just that.

In Rome, and other empires, when an Emperor was this egregiously bad, they would not only forcibly depose him, but also tear down all of his statues, works, scratch out his name from documents and dedications, and consign his memory to the garbage bin of history.

For all of their faults, they appeared to have far more courage than our current populations.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

they appeared to have far more courage than our current populations.

This.

We're going to go down in history as pathetic. That'll be our legacy through time.

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm never one to condone the death of people very much, but I wish nothing more than for Trump to die on camera like when Charlie Kirk got shot. I want the world to be able to watch, rewind, and watch again. I don't need him to die slowly in hospital, I want there to be absolutely zero chance the right could pretend 8.5 billion people didn't watch him bleed out on a sidewalk.

No panem but circensis that you have to buy tickets for.

[-] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

To be fair, this would be way more dangerous to do on a high-speed train

[-] Triumph@fedia.io 10 points 1 month ago

High speed fail.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Why not both?

Edit: To be clear I meant bike jumping not celebrating the orange pedo in any way.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Because I don't want my tax money being used to celebrate a pedophile's birthday.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I just meant the bike jumping.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I have zero issues with the bike jumping by itself. That shit is kind of rad.

OMFG this is real?! I thought the pictures were satire! Satire!!

[-] Redfox8@mander.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

We've been 'building' a high speed rail route here in the UK for over a decade now. It'll probably not be finished for another 10 years, isn't going to reach as many cities as first planned, will probably cost as much as m**k is worth by the end, tickets will likeky cost you three legs and you'll no doubt always arrive at your destination late!

I get your point, but don't get too jealous of the idea!!

[-] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

That's due to corruption, not because ~~AVEs~~ high speed rails are hard to build (and the UK is much flatter than Spain..)

[-] filcuk@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

I understood that some stupid old laws were involved too, allowing any random village to veto infrastructure like this (sounds good in theory, but doesn't really work in practice)
