Remember that time when we elected a literal idiot to be president and a million Americans died because of how fucking stupid he was?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not So Fun fact:

Bird flu has killed 50% of the humans it's infected so far, and that same idiot is going to be back in charge.

And this time, our soon to be Secretary of Health has part of his brain eaten away by a worm.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Only the best people, folks!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

If you're speaking for the worm then I agree. I only enjoy the fattiest, juicy meat myself.

And then we prosecuted him for crimes, convicted him, and then sentenced him to live in government housing for the next 4 years?

Shhh, everything I said is true don't ruin it for me with facts.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wrong kind of government housing, unfortunately 😓

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

He won't even live there, just like last time. He'll live in his hotel and cost us tax payers a million dollars per day, that goes straight into his pocket.

We were averaging one 9/11 every three days during Trump's pandemic. And that's just counting the deaths directly attributed to COVID, with the CDC and a shitload of states playing "don't test, don't tell" plus the delayed deaths due to cardiac injury I'm betting the death numbers were closer to 5x reported.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's why this time the plan is to get rid of a health ministery before the next pandemic hits.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Can't have high pandemic casualties if the pandemic is fake news and you've dismantled the agency responsible for coordinating testing!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

And yet people never even talk about it now. No memorial, no day of remembrance, no lessons learned, just right back into the arms of the seditious traitor who killed more Americans than all of our wars combined.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah but it's not like we could bomb the virus so what are we gonna do? We're Americans, after all, the only thing we can do is wage war. War on drugs, war on crime, war on poverty, war for independence, war to end slavery, war on Mexico, war on Spain.

Hey let's do it again! I'll call 10 million of my fellow Democrats and tell them not to bother showing up to vote. It'll be fun!!!

The early bird flu gets the brain worm

Am I the only one who found a message of “hope” in Idiocracy? We start at a future dystopia approaching human extinction caused by following some of the worst trends in current society. Then a savior appears, and they’re smart enough to actually follow him? They’re able to overcome some of their worst natures and start on the road to recovery.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

That's how you could tell it was fiction.

Silly Hollywood always insists on a happy ending.

[–] captain_aggravated 6 points 2 months ago

They were moments away from killing him.

RFK will replace vaccines with electrolytes, it's what plants crave.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But...but I'm not a plant... I'm pretty sure anyway.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

That's exactly what an FBI plant would say!

stupidiest timeline

i'm waiting for MTG's nomination and we should be good to go

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Wow, I wasn't even paying attention to her. Looks like she and Lauren Bobblehead both kept their seats. I really think this election confirms that we're in a simulation, and a drunk grad student just fucked with it.

She probably won't get one since she called out Laura Loomer for ~~saying the quiet part out loud~~ being too racist

Camacho did try to kill him, to be accurate.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I keep trying to tell people. We do not live in Idiocracy, Idiocracy is a fucking utopia compared to what our situation is

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah stupid people wishing they had real solutions is a way better outcome than stupid people cheering for the worst outcomes thinking they are solutions

Yeah, we don't masturbate nearly as much and the news anchors aren't hot

[–] captain_aggravated 4 points 2 months ago

And they don't make Ow My Balls anymore.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

We fortunately already have vaccines for bird flu

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good to know. Also a point of info: RFK Jr. is against "big pharma vaccines".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Well, as long as you have the money to pay for it yourself, you're golden. This could decimate the Republican voting base forever though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Well, as long as we fly out an antivaxxer in change of the only department that can ban existing vaccines, that should be fine.

[–] Dwayne_Elizondo_Mountain_Dew_Camacho 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Shit.

I know shit's bad right now with all that starvin' bullshit. And the dust storms. And we runnin' out of French Fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.

[–] TheRealLinga 2 points 2 months ago

Oh snap it's the man himself! I love you el presidente!

Here we are, "Idiocracy .001", folks. We are at the point where they haven't even realized that they need a person with an actual brain. It will get worse, much worse. Maybe they will pick a pedophile for attorney general. Oh, wait.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

My favorite dichotomy is found on things like hurricane Helene posts. The same people who say humans aren't affecting the climate say the gov is manipulating the weather.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Welcome to the kakistocracy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Nah the stupidest timeline is simulation 28 where Elon Musk was able to capture the FDA and 30% of the US population was left mentally disabled by malfunctioning brain implants. Compared to those guys you're doing just fine simulation 19.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Dude, that's just what will happen in a couple years. There's no maybe about it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

the connection between the two might be more subtle than you think. bird flu has already jumped to cows and non infectious virus particles were identified in supermarket pasteurised milk. RFK endorses raw milk and is anti vaxx. Go figure.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Also, some lab monkeys escaped in Florida recently. So, it looks like we'll be starting another trump presidency with another pandemic. It'll probably wait until he eliminates the pandemic response team again before it hits.
