Shitting on it just like our Constitution.

Clown country circling the drain.

+1 for Balkanization of the United States.

What a complete fucking joke.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

When propaganda causes voters to vote 3rd party or stay home, you get to live in conservative clown reality.

When the king is a clown, the palace becomes a circuis

Building a clown arena at the circus.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 99 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

As a circus performer, I'd like to take a moment to point out that the circus is traditionally full of outcasts and artists who challenge the status quo and are often exploited by capitalism. It's also given us antifascist icons like Josephine Baker.

I know it's a common saying and I'm just pissing into the ocean here, but I'm just trying to make a small change for the better. This dumpster fire of a regime could not run a circus if they wanted to.

I tried to run a bath, but the collar kept sinking

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

They'd run a bath for the kids.

We’re plenty ashamed, don’t worry.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

About 70% of us, anyway.

This photo looks like a giant robotic insect is moments away from destroying the White House. Sadly, this is not the case.

Even President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho didn't waste money like this.

Hamburgers and circuses for the faithful.

I wonder how Fox Mews is going to spin it when the orange pedo starts drooling over the UFC fighters and starts telling them how sexy and gorgeous they are...

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm expecting them to give him a title belt they just invented.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 15 hours ago

UFC also stands for Ugly Fat Cunt.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure you need to be over 18 to qualify for ufc...

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

well he almost licked that other ufc fighter he saw the other week … maybe a 20 something is now young enough to feel like pedophilia for him

Umm yeah....things I didn't need to see for 500 Alex, material right there

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)
[–] vrek@programming.dev 3 points 13 hours ago

All good, wasn't an issue just commenting on my disgust of that

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Nah but he will go on at length about how big a man he is and everybody says he should have had a career as a great fighter more and more. Bigly.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 12 points 23 hours ago

It's going to take forever to de-stench the WH after that dumb turd finally gets flushed. Might as well demolish the whole fucking area....

[–] schwim@piefed.zip 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Just wondering when Iran is gonna have those ICBMs ready.

[–] dark@thelemmy.club -1 points 17 hours ago

Battten down the hatches! Downvotes incoming!

[–] LemmyBruceLeeMarvin@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago

~~bread~~ and circuses

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Great, there will be crowds there. Maybe overwhelmed security. Confusing lights. Good opportunity to take a shot.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Honestly, best opportunity.

Could people stop fucking this up, please‽

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's going to take soooo long to get Trump's stank out of DC..

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

He's not leaving. That's why he wants his bunker ballroom. If he's alive for the midterms, say "goodbye" to the democratic voting process entirely.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 6 hours ago

He'll die eventually.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

It’s ironic how just pictures of the building (or lack of) itself is more truthful about what’s going on than anyone in the administration.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I went to school with Justin. I hope he pulls out of the event.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’ll be continuing my tax strike

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Staunchly unemployed here!
