Anything to distract Americans from serious issues. And it somehow works every time...

If they all get to use Crack for the gladiator fight, id watch it.

Rome is back baby.

Otherwise all those nepo babies are useless.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It’s like Bum Fights but with value. I do hope Hunter has his laptop hidden under the ring and starts going to town with it like a steel chair.

You win the internet today.

Don jr, sure, but Eric? Come on now he has the IQ of a turnip. I'm not saying dont do it, but I feel a little bad about it.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

They both have the intellect of a root vegetable. So Jr is a rutabaga, he isn't any more intelligent that that turnip.

And frankly, Hunter is a yam, at best.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I think root veg level Intel is a prereq for anyone to participate in a cage match

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 11 hours ago

That's the entire MAGA world.

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

An evening spent beating up each other is an evening not beating up on us, so sure.

Really, if we're going to be having a Nepo-Baby tournament, let's start filling out brackets. And don't forget to have a Women's Division, lots of dipshit Nepo-Baby women, too.

While Hunter and the Trumps are having it out to open the tournament, let's get the Women's Division started with the Kardashians.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to say, primary rule is that all battles are to the death. Two go in, one comes out.

This wasn't on my 2026 bingo card.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Twas on mine! Almost there!

[–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Now I need to see the rest of the card!

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

I hate this timeline so much

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 108 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And we're SURE this is real life? Really??? THIS is real life????

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 5 points 17 hours ago

Turns out this is just what happens under capitalism eventually.

Give all the money to generation after generation of dumbshit nepo babies and this is what we get.

OOH in the name of LOVE

What a stupid fucking timeline this is.

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Andrew Callaghan isn't conservative

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago
[–] Glifted@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know it isn't the story but how the fuck is Andrew Callaghan a "conservative commentator"?

[–] mbp@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah dude WTF. I had to check if the kid that did All Gas, No Breaks was a maga asshole now.

It seems he is not, just doing the hear out both parts kinda thing. Worth having a whole discussion over the details, really.

But he does have SA allegations so that's not great.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

When you hear out both sides in ways that they don't like, then each side refers to you as their slur for the other side.

[–] bugieman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Nah he's a genuinely good, journalist. He may be left-leaning but only in the context of our massively shifted overton window.

[–] Glifted@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

I wasn't aware of SA allegations. I thought he was called out for being pushy with someone, apologized, and then went to rehab because he realized he had a drinking problem. I may not know the full story

[–] Soulg@ani.social 7 points 1 day ago

No that's the story.

Who even knows anymore

Bwah god! That’s CM Pope’s music!! And he’s going right after Pete Heg!!!

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Seems unfair. Two versus one?

I vote for Cornpop to be allowed to fight on Biden's side.

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

2v1 is the only way this fight could be fair. If hunter is ripping lines off a hookers ass he could take the entire family on at once.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I want to see him walk on stage, rip off his aviators in a dramatic fashion revealing another pair of aviators underneath, at which point he reaches into his suit jacket to pull out an entire brick of cocaine, which he proceeds to rip in half over his head with his bare hands.

At that point, he would shove his fists into each half of the cocaine brick and begin pummeling the ever living fuck out of both the other ass hats with his newly dusted knuckles.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That's true, the other two are never snowed to the gills

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

WTF, does the winner get to be crowned next King President?

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Every time I go to fact check this stuff because it has to be a joke it turns out to be true. I think I must be in the upside down.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Unfortunately you're in the timeline where you're a speck on a rock in a cauldron of fire within an interminable void. You know, the only timeline.

They can all afford legit healthcare, so IDGAF. Unless him winning gets Trump out of office and into a jail cell, IDGAF.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

That would be awesome actually

I bet it never happens.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 3 points 1 day ago

They can all go to prison for their crimes and they can then have cage matches every day.

[–] SparkyBauer44@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I heard there's some kind of event happening at the white house. Maybe they will be so gracious as to add them their event.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

No, it was the Waffle House.
