For anyone like me whose bullshit detector calibration is off from the past 10 years of crazy, this is indeed a real tweet from the official White House Twitter account.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 113 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This timeline is fucked and I'm done with it.

[–] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My guy. The crazy shit hasn't started yet. This will be the darkest decade of your life. So much unnecessary suffering..

Me too Morty, let's get out of here

For anyone who would prefer the original link, here’s the direct link to Twit——

I mean it's so wild, no one would make it up

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why did they let a kid tweet by the White House account?

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

There's no way they woulda let Musk's head hobbit exist there for so long without earning his keep somehow. Poor little kid is just repeating the same shit he's hearing the adult-shaped ugly children around him saying.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

yeah I was hoping it was photoshop

[–] werty@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is it a real quote from the movie? I've seen it but I don't remember what all the signs said.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

It's not. But it's disturbingly apt.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Now print it out and poster it around town.

We really should be seriously considering economic sanctions against America, not just reciprocal tariffs. Bullies always reveal themselves to be cowards when you stand up to them.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They are kind of sanctioning themselves to be fair.

[–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

No reason not to help them along...

Australia is just a us military base with kangaroos

I feel so sorry for the onion.

Classic movie! It was commenting on the Regan era trickle-down, job exporting, tax-cutting agenda and the people behind it

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago

Here's a link to the song "Pet" by A Perfect Circle.

Don't know why your comment made me want to add this.

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

"The left is sniff so mean!"

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

This reminds me of Hydra's "Compliance will be rewarded"

[–] MisterMoo@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

“We need you to not retaliate because we’re not serious to begin with.”

Doubt humanity

Stay asleep

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

That's... fucking horrifying

[–] vfreire85@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

perhaps the greatest achievement (?) of trump and his cronies is making "they live" an obsolete movie. they're saying in people's faces now everything every past 'murican government (and their pervasive elites) tried to embelish and coat in self-righteousness. for anyone who lived outside the country, especially those outside global north, this is some sort of twisted vindication.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

They've created a "The Complainer is wrong, unless he's a total fucking Karen"

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Which movie was this again?

[–] drcabbage@lemmy.ml 9 points 11 months ago

They Live

Great movie

Americans will really get on their knees and say “thank you” as the gun is pressed against their heads, fully believing they’ll enter paradise once the trigger is pulled.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

They'll call it the "Pat on the Head Bill"

Rewarded with what? I can go to heaven in the afterlife?
