It’s got what plants crave.
I bet President Camacho didn’t fuck kids
President Camacho also put the smartest person he could find in charge of fixing problems.
Instead of firing all the ones he was legally allowed to (and firing many others that he was not)
" ‘I have fired the horse catcher’
- the horse"
- John Mulaney
Especially not his own daughter
Well, the one he can remember anyway
Camacho would make a far better president. He actually appointed the smartest man alive to fix things.
Camacho was a GREAT President. Actually paid attention to the fact that his people were starving / running out of burrito coverings, found someone smarter than him to fix a problem he didn’t understand, and gave that person the authority to implement a solution without micromanaging.
But there’s the other side of it too, that usually get ignored.
Camacho also showed that when someone jerks him around and wrecks the world economy, he will happily send them for ‘rehabilitation’. I think there’s a lot of people in our government and business world that could use some ‘rehabilitation’.
Sometimes a president needs to throw hands.
I’d settle for not rug sweeping people who loot the economy… Doesn’t even have to do it himself he can let the justice department do it for him.
I would even go as far as to say he was the ideal president. He brought in experts and let them do their thing and had the charisma to keep his nation together and inspire people.
To be fair Trump did the same thing. Only that for some reason he thought Musk was the smartest man alive and fixing things means something entirely different in Trumps world.
What a fucking circus. I hope he never gets funding for his stupid ballroom, and he has to spend his entire presidency looking at a giant fucking muddy hole of his own creation, like the Slumlord he knows he is at his core.
I have been thinking about this and I don’t know if he even needs funding. He just tells construction companies to do things without a worry about a budget and if the money never comes they can probably sue for damages anyway.
There is stupid, and there is trust Trump to pay you as a contractor with the backup plan to sue the federal government if it goes bad.
Trump has never knowingly paid in full for any work he’s commissioned. Anyone who takes on work he’s offering should know that in advance.
Its actually the safest time to work for him because he isn’t using his own money.
It would be a master stroke of engineering and carpentry to get it done before his presidency ends even with completely smooth sailing to the end starting today, and the next President, even if a Republican, would likely scrap it as the boondoggle it is.
It’s not going to be properly engineered. It’ll fall apart in just a few years, but sound, responsible engineering isn’t Trump’s style.
And then pocket the money! What? The last guy did it all the time? /s
He already has funding to finish it. They can’t continue construction because of the lawsuit.
As if they ever cared about laws or lawsuits, they can’t finish it cause he already spent the money
No, they literally can’t continue because of the judges order.
Yeah cause that stopped him every other time
I think this time he is just letting it play out. It looks bad on the Democrats just leaving it like it is.
That is possible, didn’t consider that
He totally trashed the place. Fitting.
This is a perfect depiction of the USA as it has been for my entire life. There’s a nice house over there, that they do things you’re not invited to. Then there’s where the rest of us live that’s torn down and worn down.
Used to think Idiocracy was dystopian. Turns out it’s the utopian version of events.
“Welcome to Costco, I love you” does sound pretty good right now.
Also a better version of Starbucks

And he genuinely cared about the country.
And he could put his ego aside for his country. Eventually.
We’re still at least 5-6 presidents from getting to Camacho.
We’re working our way there!..
Idiocracy was so much more benign. I wish it was idiocracy.
Sometimes I think Trump watched Idiocracy and thought it was an instructional video
Hey! Whoa! C’mon now! That’s totally unfair to say!!!
…trump would never take advice from a movie where a muscular black man is president.

Is his name “Bubba”?
Would you not?

Good, more for me!
Musk actually did… chainsaw and all.
Idiocy would make for a utopia compared to what we’re stuck with, which is malice. The future we’re building is much darker than the one depicted in Idiocracy.
It figures that this guy’s favorite “sport” is two people just beating the shit out of each other. He’s the American Caligula, if he could order them to fight to the death, he would.
I’m sure that’s coming
No need to disparage combat sports. They are probably the fairest type of sport there is. A soccer team you need a field, a ball, uniforms and 11 players plus another 11 for them to practice with.
In combat sorts you just need two guys and you don’t even need clothes.
With some of the comments he’s made in the past, it’s more like two nearly naked sweaty men hugging each other and rolling around on the ground together is what he’s interested in seeing…
You know all those dystopian movies that feature evil people watching the lower classes fighting in a large public ring for pure violent pleasure? We are now in all those movies merged into one badly written featureless film. Can someone find the remote and hit the off button please.
Needs more marvel style quips
I mean, Talarico responding to Paxton calling him a vegan was pretty great: “I’m an eighth generation Texan, I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.”
Director: Cue the sarcasm track in 3, 2, 1
“THUNDERDOME!”
Once they recognize that there is are problems and then find the smartest people in the world to solve them, we can compare it to Idiocracy. So far they’ve done the opposite - made problems worse, create new problems, and got rid of the smart people trying to work on it.

Give it time. The events of Idiocracy didn’t take place until the year 2500 or whatever. We still got a few years left before we get to the problem solving portion of the movie.
They blew right past idiocracy a long time ago.
Wait until they bring out the Dilldozer.
These people are shallow and depravedly hedonistic, sure, but not “simple”. They’re not mentally handicapped, they have chosen, every day of their lives, to be cunts. To be evil. To care only about themselves because it’s the core and only commandment of Western civ: no matter the consequences, get the bag/fuck you, I got mine. American society as a whole might be shockingly stupid and resemble the folks in Idiocracy, but the leaders aren’t, they’re just very very very evil people, and that’s a matter of personal choice.
I remember 30+ years ago telling my parents “Everyone at school is a moron. I’m surrounded by morons all day long!!!”
They tried telling me it was all in my head. I now realize that my parents are ALSO morons.
I mean, not the kind that voted for trump…but the simple kind. The kind that orders something from amazon, package claims delivered but it’s not, then suddenly the neighbor has the same thing they bought and is missing. Multiple times. Yet they refuse to believe that their neighbor is an asshole.
So I waited until they went on vacation, put an amazon box on their porch, which was actually a glitter stink bomb.
Neighbor stole it, got pissed off, and tried going to my parents door to complain to them about it. Except they weren’t even in the country.
NOW they believe me when I tell them the obvious, that their neighbor is a theif, and that they need porch cameras.
But again, my parents are morons. So instead of a self hosted option, they went with ring cam.
Yes. I know. I already know all about the privacy issues. They don’t believe me.
They’re not mentally handicapped
Trump’s narcissism is arguably a mental handicap. Trump is creating so many problems for himself - much of his behavior is ultimately pointlessly self destructive.
He IS also stupid and immature, he’s no Kissinger, I agree, but still.
Ideocracy: People don’t have the mental capacity to see what’s wrong. The ruling elite is just stupid.
Current timeline: People know exactly what’s wrong and are captured in a system spiraling to the bottom. The ruling elite does the wrong thing on purpose because of expected personal gains.This is not Ideocracy. It’s oligarchy.
