• 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.

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

    Odd that the Paul brothers like hanging out with child fuckers, traffickers and molesters amongst other people with the Republican Party.

    Guess they just enjoy the like minded company …

    Of course he would, he only picks the best of the scum of the USA. He’s proven that point over and over again.

        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.

      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.

        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?

    What a competent man trump is. He’ll rape your daughter and then endorse Paul in the same day. I think trump should enter the ring against Anthony Joshua just like Paul did and every non-abusing father should get a front row seat.

    Jake Paul will be 35 in 2032, which i guess means he could run for president that year. Mr. Beast won’t be able to run till 2036.

    Both of these are nightmare options

      Shit, beast is going to restart USAID just to create the most morbid possible humanitarian effort (televised on CBS, of course).

      You need to be a certain age to run for president in America? I understand minors but I’m talking about adults.

          Is there a reason for this? Is it experience?

          Because if so surely there should be an max age limit too? You shouldn’t be able to run if you are nearly 80 with dementia…

            I don’t really know the reason why 35 specifically. It’s been that way since the Constitution was written. Maybe they felt anyone under 35 couldn’t have had enough life experience to properly carry out the duties of office? As for why no max age limit, no clue there either
