This is fluffy shit and a complete distraction from:

  • Trump is in the Epstein files. Musk said so and Patel said so.
  • The economy is tanking fast and trump is actually being blamed.
  • They are taking away medicaid from millions in their "big beautiful ( 🤮) bill
  • They caused this shutdown so that the subsidies for our healthcare aren't renewed.
  • They are invading American cities.

... So in the sublemmy about stupid things that are true, we shouldn't discuss the stupid things?

Yep, sorry. I thought I was in a politics community.

No no. It's all true what you said. It needs to be said literally everywhere.

I would argue this is a politics community. Sure, it's focus is on absurd stories, but it's still political. Just saying some stories are absurd is political.

Is this small government?

Fuck Charlie Kirk, and fuck everyone who looks like Charlie Kirk.

I'd rather not.

That's what they should name the roads.

Drop Out Lane

Dunning-Kruger Circle

Bad Faith Blvd

Fascist Road

I think the idea has legs.

Chucky is even more annoying now than when he was alive.

And that's a fucking ACHIEVEMENT!

Do it. Side benefit: campuses now have a designated vandalism zone, possibility containing damage that may otherwise have been done elsewhere. Line it with public toilets and dumpsters and terminate at a ROTC shooting range. Award bonus points for a neck shot on a humanoid target from the 130 meter line.

No problem! I've already renamed my driveway Charlie Kirk Had Penis Breath Blvd. There's lots more available though.
