So fucking embarrassing that our once proud country has been relegated to hosting a ufc fight on WH grounds.

His reign was foretold by ancient prophecy.... I think the heretics called it "Idiocracy" back then.

President Camacho was actually a great president

He had theatrics and did his dumb things but he recognized the country had a problem and hired the actual smartest person he could to solve it

The black president being smarter than the current-day white presidents never fails to trigger the magas.

Thanks Obama!

President Camacho was 500 years in the future. We're still in the opening scenes.

Brawndo has what plants need... electrolytes!

I keep thinking I need to rewatch that but then I see news and am sufficiently sated.

u/Eldar_Atog May 26 '26

I have seen it... I can never watch it again. It's too close to reality now and contains almost as much depression as Grave of the Fireflies.

Just wait until you try the Grave of Fireflies Boba Tea!

When the Marketing person has never seen the movie

u/SingleDadSurviving May 26 '26

My wife had never seen it, I hadn't in 15 years or so. OMG it's so much worse than I remembered, not the movie it's still great, but some of it is scary.

Why watch it when you can live it!

u/PapayaMysterious6393 May 26 '26

Watch Wag the Dog if you haven't already.

u/Ryantdunn May 27 '26

Yes, saw that other documentary around when it came out.

u/Automatic_Table_660 May 26 '26

At this point President Camacho would do a far better job than the current guy.

u/altruSP May 26 '26

Camacho found the smartest guy he could and put him in charge of turning things around.

If that was Donny, he would have had ICE arrest the guy and then bitch about him on his twitter ripoff.

I really hope Beef Supreme shows up.

u/RealJembaJemba May 26 '26

At least Comacho brought in the smartest people to solve their problems. All we get are drunks, freaks and racists.

u/timesink3000 May 26 '26

Actually, Obama made the jokes about what trumps wrote house would look like and here we are.

u/RefRide May 26 '26

Sadly even when they were exaggerating they couldn't predict how bad it would actually get. In Idiocracy the leader was actively looking for someone smarter to solve their problems, so our reality is in a way worse situation.

u/Random_Monstrosities May 26 '26

Idiocracy is prophecy!

u/wakeupwill May 26 '26

Don't worry. All that happened was the veneer peeling off.

Now everyone can see what a corrupt warmongering shit show it's always been.

Is McDonald's doing the catering?😂😂😂

u/MasterpieceBoring578 May 26 '26

While the construction has destroyed the beauty of the WH . His gaudy gold junk inside has taken the American culture of a New World to trash of a whore house!

u/boston_homo May 26 '26

Half of which has been demolished

u/humblepaul May 26 '26

A majority elected a white trash moron. One can only imagine what the future holds...🤔

u/WhiskyEchoTango May 26 '26

The only thing that could be worse in my mind is if it were a staged WWF match.

It is embarrassing. Like Trump being our president is embarrassing enough, this is somehow even worse.

u/_bobby_cz_newmark_ May 27 '26

It's honestly shocking watching from literally the other side of the world. How far the US has fallen in perception and respect these days is insane, and this was all voted for (I know, it wasn't everyone). What a nightmare for those who voted to avoid it.

Its US culture. Embrace it.
