Are you fucking kidding me? The US is ruled by memes now. How long until they reach out to Scumbag Steve or Success Kid?
Not The Onion
Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!
I'm glad that I took vector calculus in college, so I can accurately model this fucking parabola of the country going straight into the ground.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
We're living in the Idiocracy. It's not the future, its now.
"But I didn't get no Big Ass Fries!"
Let me blurt it out here, people: you are looking at your next president. And I am aware that, currently, by law, a non american can not be elected for office.
yet
By law, neither can an insurrectionist, but here we are.
You are.
I'm outside the lines watching the circus burn, keeping my hopes up the audience notices it and get out while there is time.
They sewed the tent shut long ago.
Pocket knives can do miracles.
Not sure what you're trying to say here. I'm supporting your point that rules will be broken; they already have been.
Just trying to (more or less) clearly state, that although not being american, I am aware things are getting very bad over there and have the potential to get even worst, but I hope the people realize it in time to do something to turn it around.
Oh right, well I’m not American either. But I reckon this could have global implications and we’re all stuck on this little rock together (whatever Elon thinks about Mars).
Laws mean nothing any more. Both houses of Congress are Republican and the Supreme Court has several Trump supporters on it. No one with any power will stop him.
Next up. We're renaming dollars to x-coin.
X-bucks, it scans better. Sorry not sorry.
No x-bucks is alimony
Just gonna be years and years of crypto scams headed up by the Federal Govt.
We're gonna do an Argentina.
Creating a second department to do something there already is a department for so you can have funni name is peak efficiency.
Nah, this one's OFFFICIALLY non-governmental and just makes "suggestions". Because you can't just create new departments, nor get rid of them, without Congressional approval.
Congratulations America. You put the reins of power in the hands of toddlers coming up with cool names for made up comic book superheroes.
The drug adled guy who caused Twitter to lose 85% of its value and to become a racist hate filled Russian propaganda machine?
This should be good.
Unrelated, but can I block keywords on the desktop site, too? The less I see of this fucker the better
Just bulldoze the whitehouse and erect a circus tent
...and slash regulations. I know this has always been their goal but damn. He doesn't even need anything more, he has almost everything money can buy, and he thought, "ok, I have to try to buy the government".
This is beginning to sound a lot like Cyberpunk. Corporations act like governments while NUSA takes a backseat.
When you have this much money, the life is just a game
DEPORT HIM, FFS!!!!
Bureaucracy is good at one thing; making sure nothing slips by.
Elon wants deniability.
I feel like I fell in a parallel universe with the dumbest possible timeline sometime in the mid 2010s
I'm old school. I felt it happen with Bush v Gore.
Being in a functional union was nice while it lasted.
50+% America, you'll get what you wanted. Also those who didn't vote will get what they deserve.
