    Some countries have universal healthcare paid by their tax dollars instead of roller rink cheeto’s circus.

    Some countries have no homeless because their tax dollars help the citizenry instead of lining the orange criminal’s pockets.

    Some countries feed their children so that no child goes hungry in the midst of plenty.

    Some countries don’t have a fucking fascist shitbag lying and stealing and grabbing anything not nailed down.

    At the risk of sounding like Theodor Adorno, I’ve been saying that a classless society is uncomfortably close to a society without class.

    Does this kind of crudity, cage-matches and motorcycle stunts on the closest thing a secular state has to sacred ground, actually work for anyone?

    I mean I get it. The US is under the thrall of a cult and an oligarchy, and so this caters to an audience of one. But is there someone else in the US that actually enjoys this?

    The picture of the white house in front of the white house somehow gives me a powerful message: everything in this place is fake, nothing is well thought out.

    Like he wanted to have his redneck show in front of the house and then someone told him “uh sir we can’t actually see the white house from there, there’s all your UFC stuff in front of it”. “Oh. Meh, put a picture”.

          He is fundamentally incapable of understanding any breed of redneck culture, with maybe the sole exception of the ones who go yuppie and develop a complete lack of taste. But who am I kidding few if any of my kin have even the mildest respect for themselves.

        Camacho understood there was a problem, he found the most competent person to solve that problem, promoted him and gave him the resources to solve the problem, and managed to solve that existantial problem this way. Sounds nothing like what the Trump administration would ever do.

    Retarded is a word we cannot use anymore according to reddit and lemmy admins. I don’t understand why because I always used it to mean this sort of thing and not to refer to anyone’s particular mental or genetic issues. But you can call this stupid. It just doesn’t feel the same.

          SouthPark made some lead way with changing the “F aye Gee” word to mean inconsiderate insecure people who drive loud motorcycles around. I think it stuck a bit for a while.

          I still hear people making that joke sometimes.

          It’s the only time you can call someone a fg. And that’s fine. We really did need a word for them and why not repurpose an outdated one. ?

          Maybe SouthPark could help with “retard”.

      No, there’s a scaffold in front of the WH to support the asinine UFC fights tonight (and the stands for those). It’s a temporary structure, theoretically (though of course, Dear Leader has floated the idea “as a joke” of just keeping it in place permanently “for other events”.)
