    It’s like we as a county are playing a game of, “locate and find the worst of humanity and put them in public office “

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

      The whole administration consists of the most vile, revolting and off-putting people, he’ll fit right in.

        Carrot Top and Andy Dick have declined senior posts in the administration for fear of damaging their serious reputation. Rob Snyder is on the fence. Scott Baio is actually a liability at this point.

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

        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.

        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.

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

        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.

          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?

    There’s gonna be a fight during the White House UFC event where the winner gets a cabinet position, isn’t there?..

  • you know, I have got to hand it to trump, he’s really impressed me. I think we all owe him a bit of grudging respect. we constantly put him down, day after day, but here he is. not only consistently showing up, despite his decrepit appearance, but proving once again that he absolutely CAN do something even stupider than what he did the day before. this sort of exponential stupidity takes effort, ladies and gents.

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