    This is more an indictment of your high ranking officers than of the Trump administration.

    Look at those cowardly, servile lapdogs sitting there allowing themselves to be addressed in the Pentagon by Kid Rock.

      I’d rather announce to the room that my explosive diarrhea is preventing me from attending and embarrassing myself than actually attending.

      I haven’t seen idiocracy in a while, but do they ever talk about the world as a whole in that movie. Because it would be kind of funny if the world was thriving, while america just does idiocracy

      Hold on, the image of kid rock standing at a podium with his mouth open in front of a microphone with a bunch of soldiers sitting listening is real, but kid rock didn’t talk to them?

        Robert “Kid Rock” Ritchie participated in multiple troop touches with service members and filmed videos for Memorial Day, America’s 250th birthday, and for his Freedom 250 tour. The visit provided an opportunity for Kid Rock to thank service members […] and recognize their continued sacrifice.

        And I can’t imagine those Generals would attend that talk, except to suck up to Trump/Hegseth.

        So still looks really pathetic and bad. But Kid Rock probably didn’t give them military advice about Hormuz.

    The more time goes on, the more I’m convinced the Mayans were right and the world really did end in 2012. Everything since has been a slow decent into absurdism.

    Also Dr. Phil, a proud immigrant genocide and Autistic murder supporter.

    I wonder why they haven’t also started genociding/deporting idiots… Oh wait… yeah that’s why.

      In Idiocracy they actually valued an intelligent person and wanted him to lead them. We’re living through the prequel, we even have “ow, my balls” (jackass)

        They have reach the idiocracy years ago.

        Right now they are far beyond this line, and the humankind don’t have invented the word to describe this non existence of intelligence.

        Also, Idiocracy is Baby’s First Eugenics, with a large side dish of classist bullshit.

        Seriously, everyone who likes that movie needs to go and watch it again without the rose tinted glasses. It’s a movie about how “intelligence” (a basically unquantifiable concept) is 100% genetic, and if we let the stupid people (portrayed in the movie using visual signifiers of the working class rather than, say, wealthy idiots like the Winklevoss Twins) breed too much civilization will collapse. This is literally some Ayn Rand “the stupid poors will be helpless without smart billionaires to guide them” nonsense. It’s Atlas Shrugged for stoned teenagers.

        Do you want to know who was really, really into this idea that you needed to force more “smart” humans to have babies, for the good of civilization? Jeffery Epstein.

        Another big fan? Elon Musk. That’s why he has, like, seventeen kids, all sex selected to be male. He genuinely thinks he’s improving the gene pool with his progeny.
