POUR some SUGAR on MEEEEEEEE!

OOH in the name of LOVE

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days 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.

What a stupid fucking timeline this is.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

I hate this timeline so much

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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 2 days 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.

This wasn't on my 2026 bingo card.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Twas on mine! Almost there!

Now I need to see the rest of the card!

Andrew Callaghan isn't conservative

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah that's some bs lol. I feel like he can be a little too 'centrist' a lot, but def not a conservative. Fwiw I saw him live and he was explicitly calling out right wing/fash "influencers".

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Centrist? If youre talking about the fact he doesnt criticize conservative people to their face, thats because he takes his job seriously, which is to report neutrally. Probably just seems strange because we live in a world where 99% of media coverage has a clear intention of steering peoples opinions.

Outside of his interviews, he is clearly left-leaning.

Who even knows anymore

[–] Glifted@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days 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 3 days 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 2 days 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 2 days 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 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 3 days ago

No that's the story.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days 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 2 days ago

That's the entire MAGA world.

Seems unfair. Two versus one?

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

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days 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 2 days 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.

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

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 2 days 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.

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

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

That would be awesome actually

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago

I bet it never happens.

[–] SparkyBauer44@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days 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 3 days ago

No, it was the Waffle House.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

All that once or one at a time. (Bruce Lee quotes from a movie.)
