This guy is popping a wheelie right off the starting line. Where in the ever loving fuck do they dig these idiots up at? How is this government? I wouldn't trust this lunatic with a book of matches and somehow he is third in line for the presidency.
Starting line? These comments were in November 2020.
He still said it. How come this is the best of the best of the best of the best to rule the country???????
Narrator: It wasn't.
Mike Judge is saying "it was just a comedy, you weren't supposed to use it as a guideline!"
Just a little light treason.
If life is survival of the fittest, US politics reflects the US waistline and its list of perscriptions.
He's the best of the worst who hadn't built up enough of a record to be hated by his own party yet, that's how he got to be second in line to the Presidency.
Just FYI. Politicians are supposed to serve, not rule.
Yes. And this is why I’m not one.
Was referring more to just the inundation of current and past wild shit coming out about him since he got voted in. I should have been more clear.
Totally fair. I was also thinking about "Hey, why didn't we hear about all this until after he was elected?" Oh yeah, they kind of hustled him through - so fast, in fact, that his own family couldn't get flights in time to join him in Washington for his swearing in. Research takes time.
The American Fascist Party didn't want anyone to have all this shit assembled in one place until it was too late.
Second, technically. Biden IS president, not in line. So it's Harris then this fuckbag.
An excellent point. That feels worse when you say it like that.
When you consider that a major part of the Republican platform is “government is bad and can’t be trusted to do things” I think it makes more sense.
Plus the people funding the republicans could be happy to see the party being a spectacle in various ways that make people think of things other than taxes and industry regulations.
