I had a Mexican-American coworker who would pretend to work at his computer but was actually watching like 480p or worse streams of DBZ muted with subtitles on. We had a silent mutual agreement that I never talk about the DBZ playing all day and he never talk about how I oddly angled my own monitor so that I could recline my chair and lean back at the perfect angle to hide my face and sleep while appearing to be doing something at my desk.

So maybe Biden is on to something here.

Base form Goku would mop the floor with any of the other candidates easily. He MIGHT have to use kaiyoken if Klobuchar is running.

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 26 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He wouldn't get that far, Goku's already proven vulnerable to the heart attack gun.

[–] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Future Trunks would come, slice Biden and Kamala in half, and then give Goku the anti-heart attack gun pills.

But what if Hillary gets the dragon balls and wishes to run for president as the Democratic candidate again?

[–] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

Shenron can only revive something once, and hilldawg already had two dead campaigns.

We all know she used a wish in 2016 to get ahead of Bernie.

hillgasm: "Mighty Shenron, make me President of the United States!"

🐲: "THAT IS BEYOND MY POWER. FAREWELL"

[–] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

That would be the most Hillary thing to do. Don’t wish to improve the world. Don’t wish to win. Just wish to run.

"And I said to Goku: "How would your hair fair in a spirit bomb, Mr Savior of Earth?"" chuckles nervously

Shortly before Ms. Klobuchar declared her own presidential bid earlier this year, Abigail Bessler, her 24-year-old daughter, an amateur stand-up comic herself, somewhat sheepishly reminded her mother about the senior thesis Ms. Bessler wrote at Yale. The topic: the use of humor in presidential politics and the “Path to Power Through One-Liners, Talk Shows and Tweets.”

“Should an orator want to stir up laughter?” Ms. Bessler asked in her thesis. “The answer is a fairly resounding yes.”

Additional gems from the paper, written to complete a degree in political science, include:

“Humor can be used as a political weapon: to attack opponents, inoculate oneself from criticism, establish one’s good humor and more. Through comedy and wit, a politician can reduce audience scrutiny of arguments by appealing to their emotions and allowing them to discount any messages they might disagree with as ‘just a joke.’

If I were a billionaire, perhaps I'd hire a team of people to follow me around and cite things like this any time I do or say anything. It could be like the modern version of a slave whispering in Caesar's ear that he's mortal.

Like my personal chef brings my breakfast out and right behind him is a guy with an iPad who starts reading a recent write up on how modern livestock raising techniques are sure to doom the entire world to disease. Or whatever. Not like in an accusatory way, just as a neutral reminder. "Let me read this article about avian flu mutations while you chomp those eggs down"

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lol

I was just posting cos shes so lame but sure

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I'm just joking around.

It did feel like a slight stab to the heart like "oh no... I'm empowering that dumbass..."

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 44 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As a black person, I can speak for the entire black American community and say that this also guarantees 100% of the black vote.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

When he declares Asuka as his running mate every other candidate will forfeit on the spot

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

Trump is gonna cast a gengitsu tho

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 41 points 7 months ago (1 children)

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 34 points 7 months ago

Hello NYT writer, please include this post in your expose on foreign election interference. I want my handle to be famous.

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 40 points 7 months ago (1 children)

unelectable is the polite way of saying "HATED" "UNPOPULAR" "LESS CHARISMA THAN A SHOE"

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

Alternatively that they want to improve things for anyone below the top 10% (being generous here).

[–] edge@hexbear.net 36 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Article is three years old btw. It talks about making Harris a SCOTUS justice and Biden picking a better VP, who then might take his place in 2024.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago

this is how warren-snake-green can still win

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 35 points 7 months ago

I'd give Goku my energy. 👐

[–] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 32 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Do you think muslim Goku would still get the Latino vote?

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago

Mashallah his shawarma taco is muy delicioso

Remember that until Kamala becomes president you are not allowed to cum.

...er I've just been informed by the volcel police that you won't be allowed afterwards either, but still, it's the principle of the thing.

Kamala 2024

What's the nuclear option, blasting Biden with gamma particles and hoping he gets super powers?

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

Starting nuclear war with Russia

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

"Vote blue no matter who" is really the lib equivalent of people giving their energy to a spirit bomb, isn't it?

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 16 points 7 months ago

Woah! Woah! The spirit bomb actually accomplishes something.

[–] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

I don't remember Goku using the spirit bomb to murder Palestinian children...

[–] Red_Sunshine_Over_Florida@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I'm guessing the Biden- Goku team up is somehow a sequel to this.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

There is no precedent for a sitting vice president being nominated to the Supreme Court. However, Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the University of California at Berkeley School of Law, said: "I do not see any impediment to a sitting vice president being nominated for the Supreme Court."

If the unlikely theory were to play out Ms Harris would need to be confirmed to the court by a simple majority in the Senate, which is split 50-50, and where she herself currently holds the casting vote as Vice President.

Holy shit. Isn't Kamala incredibly unqualified to be on the Supreme Court? And she would get to effectively nominate herself to it? Lmao what the fuck. Talk about failing upwards.

Who tf else are they gonna run in place of Biden? pete-eat This mf? Get the fuck outta here lol.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

This is about voting for Goku

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago

hillary It's her turn

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

Pete has saibaman energy

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What would Goku's politics be? More funding for physical education/youth sports? Challenge other countries to a 1v1 instead of going to war? Senzu bean-based healthcare for all?

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 1 points 7 months ago

Give China all the nukes to make them stronger so he can fight them in a friendly match
