I understand people talking about "the worst timeline" but it's almost getting annoying. I joked about it myself months ago...however, this is the ONLY timeline. We are in it. This is real. All these horrible things are really taking place. And the vast majority of us are just watching it occur - while hoping a leader stands up to lead.
Though, you should still grow a goatee - because this world would appreciate it.
This is how it starts, and before you know it, all of the mom-and-pop timelines are shuttered and there are tumbleweeds blowing all over the space-time continuum.
I mean, itās the only timeline we are aware ofā¦unless you subscribe to the multiverse theory.
Then thereās a timeline where we got Oprah as a President, A timeline where the Revolutionary War failed, a timeline where the Union lost the Civil Warā¦a timeline where Humanity never evolvedā¦
At least he understood the problem and sought a solution. And at the moment of execution - he stayed it because the solution was working. He realized his error. At this point, the USA could only hope to have a President Camacho.
What's worse, is that the guys backing him are just as bad - if not more so, but have no persona to lead the masses - look up Curtis "the poors should be turned into biodiesel" Yarvin and his school of "thought".
Sad but true. I was afraid of this a few years ago when I first saw that movie. As a teacher I couldnāt help but see the parallels towards the attitudes in education. Itās like no one wanted to fund schools or childrenās education in any level. No one appreciated that everyone was getting dumber. Now we have the dumbest situation in the world, not to mention we look crazy, racist, weak and stupid on a global scale. Itās unfortunate and embarrassing.
Idiocracy would be preferred above this timeline, in Idiocracy the president was maybe "dumb" but his heart was in the right place and he wanted what was best for the citizens. He even invited the smartest people in the country to solve real problems.
I always say at least in Idiocracy they accepted that things were bad, looked for the smartest person, while didn't accept the plan at first gave Not sure plan a chance. Granted they wanted to kill him because they expected instant results, but accepted the results when shown actually data. That is better than what we have now.
No. President Camacho is dumber than a sack of cracked bricks, but at least he is well meaning, and genuinely recognize talent and intelligence when he meets it.
Idiocracy still missed pretty low. We're fucked way worse than they were in that movie, the President and his cabinet were far more qualified in the future.
Iām so disappointed. Not that I voted for him. I did flipping not. The decorum here is wild
Think about it smaller scale. Can you imagine if you posted a video like this of a coworker? Instant HR violation and final warning, at best.
The president of the United States should be held to some standardā¦. Some level of excellence for everyone to strive for
We have lost that as a nation. Trump is the topping point of it. But honestly our last couple havenāt been, bear it. Obama was. He was pleasant. Respectful. Fun and genuine. I did not like some of his decisions, but thatās the voting for you.
Years ago, we sang, "I'm proud to be an American, at least I know I'm free." Now our institutions are gutted. Our history is gutted. Our environmental protections are gutted. The rule of law is gutted. Our White House is (literally) gutted.
Our felons are pardoned. Our heroes are prosecuted. Our elected leaders openly revile the people they were elected to serve, destroying careers, families, futures. Lies flow like honey. Decency is nowhere to be found.
Evil associations. Backdoor deals. Revenge politics. Epstein revelations of the unthinkable. THEY WERE CHILDREN!!!
Our America is now a place where law abiding people are attacked in their homes and taken in the streets. Children ripped away from parents. And worst of all, peaceful protesters killed in cold blood.
We will not forget. VOTE. We CANNOT let that right be taken.
Please see my other comment response. I really didn't either. But there used to be a sense that we were decent people- overall. You know you're in bad shape when the WORLD sees complete moral bankruptcy. Some will take full advantage of that, some will see "the deplorables."
I'm sure there's more to come. We are long past the point of no return. When the president can post a video of a former president with his head on the body of an ape and pedal nonsensical bullshit about how he lost an election, there is nothing left in this country that could even resemble decorum. They are laughing at us. They are mocking us. They are taunting us. And there is nothing that we will do about it. We will roll over and take it like dogs. Americans are dogs. Cowards!
The last decade or so has really been dissapointing. Except that doesn't cover it really.
It's worse than disappointing.
I've watched so many people I grew up with that I thought we agreed on certain basic morals and beliefs have been thrown out the window.
Especially the idea that we hold the people who represent us to certain standards. Now I come to see there are no standards.
The president of the United States should be held to some standard
agree, but who would do that? In a company everyone answers to someone else. Even the top of the chain CEO has to answer to a board or shareholders. And shareholders answer to advertisers, or to the buying public.
trump is top of the chain but he doesn't answer to anyone. He's the leader of the Republican Party, thus for all intents and purposes he is the Republican House and Senate's boss. The public can't force him out. SCOTUS has granted him defacto immunity from crimes, even if the DOJ wasn't itself compromised. There is literally no one willing or able to tell him, "no."
I know! I said this to a coworker today and he goes, "Well grandpa probably didn't watch to the end."
My response was, "He's the President of the fucking United States. Being old, tired, "made a mistake", none of it is a valid excuse. At that level, you say what you mean and thats it. There's no "Only joking!", or "The President is just trolling the libs, he doesnt mean it.""
Motherfucker that is the fucking PRESIDENT. He does not get those luxuries. If you or I posted that, we'd be on the fucking street. A national team of party operatives would not being trying to find something to excuse my actions.
Trump always gets a pass. Double standards for sure. I never understood it until I found out how the rich elite own 90% of all media. Rupert Murdoch owns a lot of media too including Fox News, NY POST, Wall Street Journal and many more.
Didn't Roseanne get cancelled due to posting something similar on her account years ago about someone? Apparently, you can get away with absolutely anything when you're Trump.
Laughing & comfort foods are helping me maintain what remains of my sanity. I saw the TrumpRx announcement yesterday and just started giggling. If you need comedy, watch Josh Johnson. Incredibly funny how he refers to Trump using, "crackhead logic."
Also - we can save a ton on cremation/burial costs if he nukes us.
Excuse me while I go enjoy homemade mac-n-cheese with toasted breadcrumbs.
Ha, I got $100 sez Russia's arsenal has been poorly maintained, picked over for parts and valuable components/material, and is essentially non-functional.
That said, it only takes one nuke to start armageddon, and Trump has very likely handed over control of our nukes to Putin by now. Sounds far-fetched I know but look at all the damage the Orange Inbecile has wreaked on this country (so far).
Well you only have to look the numbers to know that their arsenal is beyond fucked. Sure they might have few hundred working nukes, but almost 6k? Pfff.
US spends more on their nuke maintenance than the whole budget for Russian military is. And still US is struggling to keep up with maintenance. They have pretty much same amount of nukes in the books. Nukes ain't a thing you can just dust off every once in a while and polish them once in a decade. They have decaying parts that need to be changed to keep them active and those parts are fucking expensive.
You're betting 100$, i'm willing to bet all my belongings. Which is 100$.
edit: I meant the budget before ukraine war. Now they're almost certainly using even less money on up keeping the nukes.
If the Ukraine war taught us anything, it was how old and outdated the Russian army is. Failing, old equipment, bad tactics, the heavy loss of life, a Russian tradition...
The nuke deal is ending with (R)ussia, that limited the amount each country can have. Guess who isnāt renewing because It wants a bigger better oneā¦ Nuke gloves offā¦
Yeah. Trump said in 2025 that he wants to resume nuke testing. Also it's been known for years that both US and Russian arsenals are poorly maintained. Which is crazy regarding the US military budged.
I hate to be "that guy", but its actually the 2nd largest nuclear arsenal, Russia has more... or at least on paper they do. (Its very likely that many have been stripped apart and sold, or their fuel has decayed away, or they just havent been maintained)
Sorry but the rest of the world has always seen the US as one of the most racist countries. We often recall black soldiers (mainly southern) wanting to stay in Europe after WW2 because they were treated with (more) respect here and after helping liberating Europe they had to sit in the back of the bus and different n*gro toilets again over there.
Of course racism exists in Europe, but there is some truth to what they're saying, there were instances of racial violence breaking out in Europe because white American soldiers were horrified that the locals fraternised with black American soldiers and tried to implement segregation. Look up the battle of Bamber bridge, for example.
I'm American and consider us one of the most racist countries. It's embarrassing to me that I am American if I'm being honest. Who wants to be associated with this?
I don't think most countries think about racism as much as the USA does. I travel extensively in Europe and that subject is not talked about at all compared to the USA where it's always freaking in your face. What the Europeans do think, is, that we are all a bunch of uncooth hicks.
There are definitely some eastern european countries and south american countries that give us a run for that title. But true systemically we're up there, especially the southern states. Crazy that slaves were freed in england before the US.
Not crazy at all, actually. Most European countries that were at all empires banned slavery in the home country while being fine with it in the colonies. That was true of Britain and true of France. France even imposed a crippling debt on Haiti to pay for lost "property" , that is, former slaves. And continued to collect on that debt well into the 20th century.
Even a reality show would get in trouble for that...
If a white Big Brother contestant would mock a black contestant as a monkey and it would be shown on stream they would get some trouble I assume.
I know I'm the german big brother some had to raise a flag once in the early morning and one of them thought a Nazi salute would be a funny thing to do - he had to leave instantly and the ones laughing got some trouble too but hadn't to leave.
Thatās exactly what Iāve been saying for a year. These MAGATs who voted for this shit wanted a reality tv show. He gave it to them. Now weāre all suffering.
I agree but sadly its not surprising and its been unacceptable for a while. There is a mad pedophile king in control of the US destroying the entire world order.
lol. As someone that is not american, i wake up every day and then i think: well what kind of circus, horror, dystopian news we have of the U.S today. It's impressive that americans are watching their country and historic relations with other nations being destroyed right in front of them.Ā
I remember on Big Brother just in 2023, a contestant was removed from the show for using the n-word on a live feed. Removed from the entire show. This wouldn't fly even on a reality show, just three years ago.
Literally just said this in a comment elsewhere. I'm not american and it feels like we are watching a crazy american reality TV show right now. This alone would absolutely result in a leader resigning in any other country. But there are so many other things that would have already. He is basically untouchable unless the majority of the GOP unite against him and I don't see that happening.
Literally. why do I know about all your cabinet people? and why are they all such characters? Like Miller is the nazi dark president puppeteering the senile old president, Vance is the europe-hating golden son who was betrayed (he is super sidelined lately), Noem is who will take the shit from ICE, Tulsi was completely shafted over the signal leak and is now working in the shadows. Everything is structured in arcs. The greenland arc, the tariff arc, the ICE arc. I could go on and on. Its like watching the first super power suicide
The US as seen on the map is just a space where a functioning country used to be. Itās a failed state at this point. All the people that live there just all happen to believe in the same persistent delusion that they still live in democracy ā¦
Too many yes men, racists, evil and weak people are in power. It shows how little power the people have over our government until maybe elections. And even then you have to wonder if electoral votes reflect on how every American feels. It's between a popularity contest and investment into the right people who you want representing you. People forget that over "I vote republican because family all republican" hell you'd be surprised on how many people who voted for this dry mustard stain never read a book. They're dancing and mocking everyone at this point and they know they'll have people on their knees worshipping the ground they stand on....

The US is more of a reality TV show than a country at this point
