Building a clown arena at the circus.

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

They'd run a bath for the kids.

We’re plenty ashamed, don’t worry.

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

About 70% of us, anyway.

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

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

LOL first thing I thought of.

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

What a complete fucking joke.

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

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

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day 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 18 hours 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.

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

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days 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 27 points 2 days ago

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

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

UFC also stands for Ugly Fat Cunt.

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

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

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days 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

[-] vrek@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

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

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

Just wondering when Iran is gonna have those ICBMs ready.

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

Hamburgers and circuses for the faithful.

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

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

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

Honestly, best opportunity.

Could people stop fucking this up, please‽

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

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

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days 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.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

That's not soon enough!

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days 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....

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

~~bread~~ and circuses

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Shitting on it just like our Constitution.

Clown country circling the drain.

+1 for Balkanization of the United States.

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

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

[-] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago

I’ll be continuing my tax strike

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago
