President Camacho acknowledged Not Sure being the smartest man alive and trusted him to fix things. So reality is much worse than Idiocracy

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

I would much rather president Camacho and Not Sure instead of Trump and a bunch of celebrities.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's a difference between stupidity and wisdom. Trump and his cabinet have the former but not the latter.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Trump is still good for plants though, right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Wait, are you saying Elon Musk isn't the smartest man alive? /s

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

I'd vote President Camacho before Trump. At least the fictional one has the ability, however feeble, to understand new ideas and change.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Trump cant even hold a gun like that.

Not surprising as some will likely think this is. McMahon ran the SBA from 2017 to 2019.

Additionally, she served as a member of the Connecticut State Board of Education for about a year until a legal opinion was given that she couldn't solicit for campaign money, which apparently using your position to solicit for ~~bribes~~ er donations was just a bridge too far for her.

She's also a chair for A1P a SuperPAC that unsurprisingly gave heavily to Trump in the 2024 elections.

That said, she's absolutely getting the position as a reward and so that she can wet her beak. I would say she has zero morals or ethics, but I think that's putting way too positive a spin what she's likely going to do while in office.

She only has a BA, and essentially next to zero experience in education, minus what you cited.

Ffs, this position should be held with someone that has a doctorate at least. Don't even get me started on oz, he's a Quack capital q..

Is there an option to sleep for 4 years?? I don't mind if they over do it and i end up in a Futurama type situation. I just don't want to see what's about to happen

I know Eastern Carolina tried to revoke Vince’s degree at one point. What about hers?

It’s clowns all the way down

Is this showing filtered for anyone else?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If your instance has .ml defederated or blocked, could that filter the image?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Turns out I had them filtered in my app somehow. I don't think it was deliberate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can see the image of clowns, seems fine for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Odd... I don't have them blocked.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

You got me this time Onion.

Onion?

Hello?

I'm for this but only if teachers can powerbomb unruly students.

In fairness, she can’t be any worse than Betsy DeVoss.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Prepare to be surprised. Betsy Devo's is definitely a piece of shit, but she's nothing compared to the monster that is Linda McMahon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I Really need you to be wrong.
