Goddammit. These jackasses have made our country a fucking joke. Only, the joke on us

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

Someone watched house of cards and got a bit carried away I see

Why is an unelected person whose only claim to fame is being a baby chute for a pedophile representing us at the UN?

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 20 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Is the UN failing citizens as well? Why was she even allowed to preside?

To have the peace you must suck, suck, then you fuck, fuck and you get bukkake-peace.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago

Because a country can assign whoever they want to be their representative, even if it makes a farce of the whole thing.

I think they're doing a reality TV series next, because this is what we deserve.

In Rome, Caligula made his horse a senator. In America, this happened.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

Bubba was unavailable

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 13 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Scholars argue this didnt happen and was written as comedic insult by one of his detractors.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Scholars argue a lot of things. Though it's true that a lot of the work of Roman historians is really one faction slandering another. But the behavior of some of the emperors was so grotesquely evil that it's hard to separate the truth from the lies.

Both the greeks and romans and their forebearers all practiced just obvious bias in their writing. About a rival they might describe him as the most famous pederast of the land.

Loose? In a hospital?

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 27 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Horse? I thought you said whores

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 17 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Fine. Then I'll take the whores.

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 24 points 22 hours ago (2 children)
[–] DirtPuddleMisfortune@feddit.org 3 points 4 hours ago

He said whore, not cunt.

[–] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 16 hours ago

They said whores, not horse.

[–] sol6_vi@lemmy.makearmy.io 14 points 23 hours ago

With blackjack! And hookers!

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 15 points 1 day ago

Made his whore a senator?

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 20 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

That's why the Russian eagle has two heads.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

What is the image superimposed over the eagle there?

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Oh thanks for the reply I never knew that was even part of their flag. It looks like the dude is spearing that eagle, not a very big dragon.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Well, it's not on the flag, thankfully. The flag is just a tricolor. Putting coats of arms on flags is a bad idea.

Gatdamn that goes hard

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 87 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Her only qualification for this is what, catching loads from a child-raping traitor?

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I've seen a few passages of this, the required qualifications definitely not include "ability to read".

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

Ooh bad day to be literate

[–] LMurch@thelemmy.club 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Doing jobs Americans won't."

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Performing.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

She might have taken loads from other UN dignitaries or the leaders of their countries as well.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 97 points 1 day ago (4 children)

[–] mattyroses@lemmy.today 2 points 7 hours ago

UMMMM OVER 49000

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Second Elephant in the room: trump.

Nothing specific about him. Just calling him an elephant.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 4 hours ago

Don't insult elephants like that.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Don't tell junior about the elephant.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 4 hours ago

Or do tell him.

Such an annoying moving picture in your name, have a little respect for yourself man.

[–] Alenalda@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Peanut butter jelly and a baseball bat.
