There's gonna be a fight during the White House UFC event where the winner gets a cabinet position, isn't there?...
The new ballroom doubles as a ring.
another classic example of qualified political leadership who came from the disney-channel-child-actor=to-us-political-official pipeline
The paul brothers came from the disney channel?
Damn. I thought they started as youtube vloggers that pissed on a japanese grave or some shit.
Pretty sure Logan uploaded a video showing a dead body in the suicide forest
Of course he would, he only picks the best of the scum of the USA. He's proven that point over and over again.
Odd that the Paul brothers like hanging out with child fuckers, traffickers and molesters amongst other people with the Republican Party.
Guess they just enjoy the like minded company …
It turns out "idiocracy" is actually a documentary.
I would vote for this man over Trump in a heartbeat!
Camacho definitely understood there was a problem, sought after someone much smarter to help solve it. Can't say any politician today would be humbled to do something like that.
I'd honestly prefer that scenario to our current one. At least they were just stupid and not cartoonishly evil.
It's been said many times, but to say it a different way: the government and Camacho in Idiocracy were much much better, since they immediately elevated the smartest person they could find to a cabinet-level post and accepted help rather than just lied about the problem.
Don't Look Up is more fitting as a documentary of our times. In lots of ways.
Fucking infuriating movie. Not because it's bad, but because it is so fucking spot on about every single political issue in USA (and to a lesser extend, but still fitting, the rest of the world). I know it's a metaphor for climate change, but every single political issue in USA is dealt with just as moronically as climate change.
What a competent man trump is. He'll rape your daughter and then endorse Paul in the same day. I think trump should enter the ring against Anthony Joshua just like Paul did and every non-abusing father should get a front row seat.
The kakistocracy continues to worsen.
Never interrupt your enemy when he's making mistakes.
Thank you comrade Trump
The whole administration consists of the most vile, revolting and off-putting people, he'll fit right in.
Senator Jake Paul. America would be a hell of a lot more funny if it wasn't taking us all down with it.
I guess the bribe arrived.
So much for not liking losers. I guess if you're fascist enough pedo Trump will make an exception.
Of course he would.
Jake Paul will be 35 in 2032, which i guess means he could run for president that year. Mr. Beast won't be able to run till 2036.
Both of these are nightmare options
Shit, beast is going to restart USAID just to create the most morbid possible humanitarian effort (televised on CBS, of course).
Malnourished kids are going to fight in a pit over chicken bones.
You need to be a certain age to run for president in America? I understand minors but I’m talking about adults.
I need horrible things to happen to these people.
Conservatism is a mental disorder.
It’s like we as a county are playing a game of, “locate and find the worst of humanity and put them in public office “
that makes sense the USA frequently elects clowns with no political experience
well done to jake paul 2028 president of america!
There's not necessarily anything wrong with electing people without political experience. If everyone didn't have an equal shot we might as well be a monarchy. The problem is we never elect anyone good.

I'm sorry - what? Of course there is. It's a job that affects the lives of thousands to millions. Having experience with the systems, the laws, and seeing the results of legislation and the like is critical to being able to govern and legislate effectively.
Electing a legislator is not electing a dictator. The system was designed to give people with good ideas a chance to lead, not just professional politicians. Your attitude is borderline elitist and leads to the "ok it's my turn now" phenominon that's made the Democrats so ineffective in the last couple of decades. The only time anyone's gotten excited for them in recent memory was Obama, who had been a politician for a whole 4 years before becoming president.
Electing a legislator is not electing a dictator.
No shit. But you presumably still want qualified people doing the job?
Crypto scams for everybodyyyyyyy!
Put them in a ring together!
TOTAL RATINGS DISASTER
Idiots tend to support one another.
Trump will make him king of Puerto Rico
