I’m not sure how satire outlets can write headlines anymore tbh.
"Trump's new tax on the wealthy will help million of low income families"
That's honestly the only Onion title I would fact check at this point.
Idiocracy, here we come.
Well, as they say, if you put a clown on the throne, he does not become king. The palace becomes a circus.
fucking of course.
Are we finally gonna get the Musk vs Zuckerberg showdown?
musk's MOM gave him a hallpass to excuse him from it. doubt he can fight an ANDROID like zuckerberg also knowing BJJ.
The White House lawn will be turned into a monster truck track next.
Why not? Honestly why not? I would at least be entertained.
Biff Tannen has become president.
Idiocracy is now a fucking documentary.
How much you want to wager, the "mainstream" media will be sporting a boner over this gala event?
I really wish people would stop saying Idiocracy is a documentary, it's not. President Camacho was able to see his shortcomings and hired the smartest man in the world to fix things, that's not happening in real life.
Idiocracy is something for us to aspire to.
But we did hire the smartest man in the world:
Elon Musk
/s
Office space is still a documentary right?
Fuckin A.
Been saying this for a year now
This is some hick-ass shit.
For context, his Big Idiot Bill passed, but polling on it has been horrendous. This is another distraction.

Of course it's a distraction "panem et circenses" for the people! It's so close to old Rome you might throw in a Roman salute here and there.
This feels really psychotic. All of this really makes me want to question reality. Are we in a simulation? Are we an experiment by an advanced alien race, and they're tweaking parameters to study us?
Trump is like a grade school bully, in a lord of the flies scenario. He's got all this power and he's bringing in his bully friends and they're doing shit grade school bullies would do with all this power.
And all the people who voted for him...
None of this makes any sense. The end is nigh?
I think the mistake we (myself included) tend to make is assuming people have any intelligence on average.
Trump VS Obama? I’d fucking watch that.
it would be quite difficult for trump to even walk, especially like a centaur, and his pants is full of shit.
Musk v Zuck
Celebrity Deathmatch.
I'll allow it!
…
This is how we get real life to look like a video game. Imagine page boys and interns in their little suits hooting for martial violence like the background of Street Fighter. What a time to be alive.
Can we please stop getting sidetracked by "trump might eat green cheese 2026" please?
Idiocracy achieved. Mike Judge is a time traveler disguised as a comedic writer and tried to warn us.
And we thought he was joking
You can't even make fun of this shit anymore. Imagine a movie in 2016 where the president of the us is an obese idiot who sells beas from the oval office. Americans would be like: c'mon, what the fuck? We're not that stupid.
"Nobody will ever wear these" Costume designer
They’re actually not horrible.
That's the only thing he got wrong... Now it's "Welcome to Amazon, we absolutely hate you and you have no other choice."
Rehabilitation!
I hope it's as successful as his birthday party
Based on Musk's black eye, I would say that Trump's White House has allready seen at least one fight
And in 2030 he'll be having immigrants fight to the death for their freedom.
Plot twist, death is their only freedom
Didn't Stephen King write a novela about that?
They are not winning freedom. Winner gets a pillow for 1 night in Alligator Auschwitz.
Probably a MyPillow too
never undersestimate crack strength.
I feel like a more realistic timeline for that is 2027 at the very latest
It wouldn't surprise me if it happened next week.
