    A few minutes ago I made a joke about Hulk Hogan heading the FBI. If that happens - I better stop making jokes about Trump. I’m not even trying to use the lathe.

      I’m getting really sick of the idiocracy comparisons they’ve been wrong for a while but at this point the movie is borderline idyllic.

      They have a problem so they ask smart people who to solve it and they tell a giant corporation to fuck off and address a climate crisis.

      If idiocracy was real life half the country would call the main character a cuck for saying plants need water and then they’d appoint the ceo of brawndo to come up with a solution. The solution would be for the government to buy all the brawndo and start an irrigation program. When that doesn’t work they woukd say it was because they let gay people get married so they have to start executing them to caue the rapture.

      I’m retired and I’d bet my entire life savings that the Trump administration is going to have a clearly insane grift based on vouchers or something*. Trump will say “We’re gonna end the Department of Education and that’s good 'cause people can use vouchers to go to better schools.” And McMahon win be deeply in on it somehow. Maybe she’ll call her org WWEducation.

      -–

      Edit

      Cummunism made an excellent point.

      not even republicans like school vouchers

      They’ll have to come up with a new system or maybe just different branding. My hunch is that it will be effectively vouchers but they’ll give it another name like SchoolChoice or FreedomEducation something.

            “school choice” is already the current euphemism, they’d have to either come up with something else or just hope slapping trump’s name on it pushes it over the line

      Also I love how even if you did hold your nose and vote for kamala (couldn’t be me) you still get fucked over AND blamed because she ate shit so hard, because we were all right (again) and she was totally unelectable.

      Turns out that running a dogshit candidate and telling people you don’t need their vote is a bad strategy.

    Lol kids should start protesting going to school saying they’re already objectively smarter than the secretary of education.

    Have “are you smarter than a 5th grader” except whatever level she fails at is the level that’s considered completing your education.
