Building a clown arena at the circus.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 102 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

As a circus performer, I'd like to take a moment to point out that the circus is traditionally full of outcasts and artists who challenge the status quo and are often exploited by capitalism. It's also given us antifascist icons like Josephine Baker.

I know it's a common saying and I'm just pissing into the ocean here, but I'm just trying to make a small change for the better. This dumpster fire of a regime could not run a circus if they wanted to.

I tried to run a bath, but the collar kept sinking

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

They'd run a bath for the kids.

We’re plenty ashamed, don’t worry.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

About 70% of us, anyway.

[-] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 62 points 2 months ago

Even President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho didn't waste money like this.

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago

I wonder how Fox Mews is going to spin it when the orange pedo starts drooling over the UFC fighters and starts telling them how sexy and gorgeous they are...

[-] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 26 points 2 months ago

I'm expecting them to give him a title belt they just invented.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

UFC also stands for Ugly Fat Cunt.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Nah but he will go on at length about how big a man he is and everybody says he should have had a career as a great fighter more and more. Bigly.

[-] vrek@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure you need to be over 18 to qualify for ufc...

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

well he almost licked that other ufc fighter he saw the other week … maybe a 20 something is now young enough to feel like pedophilia for him

Umm yeah....things I didn't need to see for 500 Alex, material right there

All good, wasn't an issue just commenting on my disgust of that

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 30 points 2 months ago

This photo looks like a giant robotic insect is moments away from destroying the White House. Sadly, this is not the case.

[-] schwim@piefed.zip 28 points 2 months ago

Just wondering when Iran is gonna have those ICBMs ready.

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

What a complete fucking joke.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

When the king is a clown, the palace becomes a circuis

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

When propaganda causes voters to vote 3rd party or stay home, you get to live in conservative clown reality.

[-] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

The candidates are what drove people to sit out or vote 3rd party. Trump or Dick Cheney's favorite genocidal candidate isn't a choice worth making. The longer people like yourself refuse to face reality, the longer it'll be before we dig ourselves out of this deep hole.

LOL first thing I thought of.

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 17 points 2 months ago

Great, there will be crowds there. Maybe overwhelmed security. Confusing lights. Good opportunity to take a shot.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Honestly, best opportunity.

Could people stop fucking this up, please‽

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

It's going to take soooo long to get Trump's stank out of DC..

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He's not leaving. That's why he wants his bunker ballroom. If he's alive for the midterms, say "goodbye" to the democratic voting process entirely.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago
[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That's not soon enough!

[-] LemmyBruceLeeMarvin@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

~~bread~~ and circuses

[-] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Hamburgers and circuses for the faithful.

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

It's going to take forever to de-stench the WH after that dumb turd finally gets flushed. Might as well demolish the whole fucking area....

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

It’s ironic how just pictures of the building (or lack of) itself is more truthful about what’s going on than anyone in the administration.

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I went to school with Justin. I hope he pulls out of the event.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Shitting on it just like our Constitution.

Clown country circling the drain.

+1 for Balkanization of the United States.
