Also it was very common in 90s beatem-ups, where the last stage was just wave after wave of the previous bosses. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 29 points 2 years ago (4 children) Trump is literally filling his cabinet with people he things will "trigger the libs". It's honestly quite beautiful watching him set himself of for complete and utter failure. This was always the state of right-wing politics, now the brainrot has full control over the Government. Like last time, I think the only campaign promise he'll be able to keep will be cutting taxes for the rich. Outside of that, this admin is going to be a complete chaotic disaster. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago They'll tear it apart before it implodes.
