I miss being surprised when rapists and pedophiles get handily rewarded for their crimes

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well when pedophiles and rapists are dealing out the rewards...

I love TV's Frank so much right now.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That sounds like Triumph the Wonder Dog level of snark.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's a level we Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans have loved for many years now.

This looks like one of those superhero movies where they ran out of ideas so they just throw in every villain they can think of.

Also it was very common in 90s beatem-ups, where the last stage was just wave after wave of the previous bosses.

[–] hyperreal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does this mean we're near the end?

The Cabinet list so far, as it was officially leaked moments ago on NudeAfrica.com:

State - Matt Gaetz

Treasury - Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino

Interior - A t-shirt cannon

Justice - DraftKings®

Agriculture - owner of that McDonald’s

Commerce - currently accepting bids

Labor - Immortan Joe

Defense - Vladimir Putin

Housing and Urban Development - it’s Trump, so probably Herschel Walker, ffs

Transportation - Elon Musk’s twitter account

Energy - V. Putin

Health and Human Services - sold off and privatized between Nestlé, Saudi Aramco, and Ticketmaster

Education - Kid Rock, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, and Lauren Boebert, and all sewn together as a human centipede

Veterans' Affairs - Captain Morgan; under secretaries Jack Daniels and Jim Beam

Homeland Security - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, once the check clears

Satire is dead. I earnestly predict at least one more pick on this list proves actually true.

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

The Onion writers: "Let's go with this one, the real picks are too over the top."

Oh great, Attorney general butthead.

Perfect, an actual trafficker of underage girls

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

a competent individual with extensive litigation experience in constitutional law would be the ideal choice here, seeing as this administration is about to face more lawsuits than any in history.. but no, donvict chooses another moronic 'yes man'

[–] whithom@discuss.online 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So I guess fucking underage kids is a thing now.

How many more are going to come out of the clown car? This is quite a performance.

And R Kelly named Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Butt-head taps underage girls, then show DOJ pictures of him doing so

Let's be real, he cleared the bar with this one.

Don't forget, the bar was set at Jeff Sessions, and it was even lowered to the doofus who ran the patent protection scam company.

Look, he's not going appoint anyone that isn't awful. The most you can hope for, the best outcome, is favourable funny > evil mix.

I'm comfortable saying that Matt Gaetz, on the grading curve necessary for Trump appointments, clears that bar. He's has at worst a 51% funny to 49% evil ratio.

[–] cdf12345@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You are clearly not an underage Florida teen.

[–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Maybe you don't remember Jeff Sessions.

Matt Gaetz could bring another dozen or so, 17 year girls across state lines, and still not reach the scale of evil contained within Trump's former OG AG Keebler.

That's my point. The best you can hope for is someone who also dipshit maxes, hard.
