President Trump says he plans to host UFC fight at the White House
(edition.cnn.com)
Bread and circuses. But trashier.
Burgers and clowns.
Freedom fries and ho-downs
Yeah but it's meant to be bread and circuses to distract from government. In this case, it's bread and circuses, from the very top down.
All the downsides of Comancho with absolutely none of the redeming qualities.
Quotable line there for any time someone uses the "we're in Idiocracy now". We're in the first draft version of the movie, where they realized no one was going to watch such a depressing dystopia.
I'm beginning to think Matrix was right in some scope. We are in a simulation, only we are AGI in that world (all or maybe some of us only) and the creators are messing around with variables to see how much can be taken or modified from a realism setting before we break. And they're finding that we're very resistant to breaking, accepting the most ludicrous scenarios.
Dear Americans, Idiocracy was not meant as a manual.
Now, onto the presidential rifle!
Ok THIS is the most idiocracy thing so far.
The guy is just non stop onion headlines.
This administration…
You're right I stand corrected.
This is just a distraction so that people don't talk about the spending bill. Move along.
Fucking Nero filling the coliseum to distract the masses while Rome burns. Trump truly is pathetic and weak
"...Elon Musk will absolutely fight Mark Zuckerberg, if his mom lets him this time."
Wow, what a distracting distraction.
Comes from the guy that told world leaders that it’s disrespectful to not wear a suit…. Crazy.
Gotta get Joe Rogan back on the team.
Only if Trump gets beaten with a folding chair.
I'll only be on board with this if Trump fights Jake Paul.
I hope he's the guy who gets the crap kicked out of him.
I think the US may recover from this, but it's going to be long, rocky uphill.
This guy and his Maga cult redefine the depth of rock bottom daily
We will only recover from this one day if China lets us.
Was this Zuck's idea?
I hope every Muslim fighter mercs every maggot. But I doubt there will be any Muslims on the card. So hopefully it's just hours of lay and pray.
Sad thing is there is nothing wrong with hosting a sporting event at the white house. Its every thing around it that's wrong
OK so he had the you're fired department. Now the UFC department. When is the home alone cameo department?
Maybe also throw a barbeque on the white house lawn and sell those Trump steaks fresh out of the grill
Happy 4th of July, guys!
