    Camacho would make a far better president. He actually appointed the smartest man alive to fix things.

      I would even go as far as to say he was the ideal president. He brought in experts and let them do their thing and had the charisma to keep his nation together and inspire people.

      Camacho was a GREAT President. Actually paid attention to the fact that his people were starving / running out of burrito coverings, found someone smarter than him to fix a problem he didn’t understand, and gave that person the authority to implement a solution without micromanaging.

      But there’s the other side of it too, that usually get ignored.

      Camacho also showed that when someone jerks him around and wrecks the world economy, he will happily send them for ‘rehabilitation’. I think there’s a lot of people in our government and business world that could use some ‘rehabilitation’.

      To be fair Trump did the same thing. Only that for some reason he thought Musk was the smartest man alive and fixing things means something entirely different in Trumps world.

    Ideocracy: People don’t have the mental capacity to see what’s wrong. The ruling elite is just stupid.
    Current timeline: People know exactly what’s wrong and are captured in a system spiraling to the bottom. The ruling elite does the wrong thing on purpose because of expected personal gains.

    This is not Ideocracy. It’s oligarchy.

      The guy gets a beautiful home to live in rent-free, and he trashes it. I hope he never gets funding for that stupid ballroom, and he has to spend his entire presidency staring out at a giant muddy hole of his own making, like the ghetto slumlord he is at his core.

      What a fucking circus. I hope he never gets funding for his stupid ballroom, and he has to spend his entire presidency looking at a giant fucking muddy hole of his own creation, like the Slumlord he knows he is at his core.

        It would be a master stroke of engineering and carpentry to get it done before his presidency ends even with completely smooth sailing to the end starting today, and the next President, even if a Republican, would likely scrap it as the boondoggle it is.

        I have been thinking about this and I don’t know if he even needs funding. He just tells construction companies to do things without a worry about a budget and if the money never comes they can probably sue for damages anyway.

          There is stupid, and there is trust Trump to pay you as a contractor with the backup plan to sue the federal government if it goes bad.

            Trump has never knowingly paid in full for any work he’s commissioned. Anyone who takes on work he’s offering should know that in advance.

        He already has funding to finish it. They can’t continue construction because of the lawsuit.

      This is a perfect depiction of the USA as it has been for my entire life. There’s a nice house over there, that they do things you’re not invited to. Then there’s where the rest of us live that’s torn down and worn down.

      I’m not really sure how many people know or don’t know what an octagon is, but it reads like some religios weirdos talking about video games or something. This “controller” is used for the demon to enter the body.

    It figures that this guy’s favorite “sport” is two people just beating the shit out of each other. He’s the American Caligula, if he could order them to fight to the death, he would.

      No need to disparage combat sports. They are probably the fairest type of sport there is. A soccer team you need a field, a ball, uniforms and 11 players plus another 11 for them to practice with.

      In combat sorts you just need two guys and you don’t even need clothes.

      With some of the comments he’s made in the past, it’s more like two nearly naked sweaty men hugging each other and rolling around on the ground together is what he’s interested in seeing…

    Idiocy would make for a utopia compared to what we’re stuck with, which is malice. The future we’re building is much darker than the one depicted in Idiocracy.

    As usual, they will do whatever they feel like in the moment, regardless of reason or hypocrisy or morals. You know the type.
