Wow. Just, fucking hell.

This is exactly what your founding fathers wanted for the country's future when they caused that huge ruckus 250 years ago!! Yeah, they deffo wanted a bunch of roided up buffoons punching each other to distract from narcissistic mushy brained idiots decades of child rape. Well done, well fucking done.

President Camacho delivers again. Can’t wait for Brawndo taps around the place.

Yeah everyone knows Idiocracy was the better timeline. They were stupid but they weren't hateful or mean and appreciated intelligence in the end.

He ran in 2024. In character. Obviously didn't go far.

Wait, really? Tbh if he goes again in 28, I’d seriously think about it.

Where did Congress approve the funds for this?

[–] Watermark710@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

TIL that congress has to approve what the UFC spends their money on. The UFC is footing the entire 60 million dollar cost.

Im convinced 2012 pulled the planet into the warp and the chaos gods are just trying to see how subtle they can be turning the planet into a demon world for fun.

And one day you grow up and realize you've watched your last ufc fight.

Sorry to break it to you: this is what it’s been the whole time.
