“But actually, it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever had,” he continued.

Yeah I believe that.

This may be the first true thing he’s said in his entire life.

He says so many things all the time, that it would be statistically weird if some things weren't true.

Biden needs to start putting up billboards with these Trump quotes, referring folks to his "trumpsucks.com" website, which now simply redirects to the "joebiden.com" website.

Biden admin needs to use their campaign money to pay underemployed 22-30 year olds to be meme lords to help with this campaign.

I see a headline like this and I'm fucking dying. I'm sure some kids younger than me could cook something up from this headline alone that'd connect with plenty of 17-25 year olds.

The election is shaping up to cost $10B across all races. Really a drop in the bucket within our $5T national GDP. Would be nice if some of that money went to working class folks doing productive labor. But I'm betting the lion's share of it goes to tech and media companies charging four figures an hour to make a photo of a pregnant woman with six fingers stutter out AI generated prompts on who to cheer for.

I'm just amazed he didn't say, "and if they win, they get to keep fighting and we won't deport them until they lose a fight!"

Doing the plot of "Far And Away" as domestic immigration policy.

UFC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The fact that politico humored this idea enough to actually request a comment from the UFC is fucking hilarious to me.

I like this idea. Not for immigration, but political offices. Gimme trump and biden in the octagon.

And I’d bet money he just watched Running Man….

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Now if we could just get a UFC-style debate…
