Republicans are so fucking lame. I would love to see Trump get his ass beat by a hockey player.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 day ago (3 children)

He could get his ass beat by a curler player ..

I don't think there is a single olympian on the men or woman's teams from any country that couldn't take him in a fight.

Canadian curler can just lightly touch him with a single finger. Boop.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Women's curlers. Don't fuck with them.

Trump's moving so fast in those videos you would think the net was a 12 year old.

That my father-in-law, retired and with the mentality of a retrograde caveman does this kind of cringy videos is understandable. Unclassy, bad taste and ridiculous as hell, but understandable given his ignorance.

That a president of an "advanced" country does it... Fuck, I just realized my in-law can be POTUS...

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We have been told for many generations that anyone can be the POTUS, he's just lowering the bar to make it true.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The bar has been lowered to air bud

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's pretty generous to call anything Trump has done "dunking" at best he's dribbled all over himself.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

And yet he's the president, he can do what he wants and made himself and those around him even richer and more powerful. I'd say it all worked out pretty well for him.

NOT as bizarre as how hes not trying to personally defend or deflect accusation of him being in the files with memes and AI.(not really bizarre) only solely using distraciton, so there is definitely truth to the files.

Can't even pick up a glass of water with one hand

This is cult of personality shit. From the outside, yes it looks weird.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

Looks weird from the inside, too.

[–] NorskSud@lemmy.pt 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This alone should be more than enough to declare him senile and unfit to be president, no? There's no mechanism in the US to remove a senile president? It's literally danger to keep someone senile in power even in small countries with no nukes, in the US it's suicidal on a planetary scale. 

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

There are mechanisms. See 25th Amendment. But it's not useful: 2/3 of both houses must agree with the incompetency ruling of cabinet, which consists VP plus 50% + 1 of the cabinet. Since his cabinet is stacked by his lackeys, the only way this could occur is if Vance is performing a coup. Still need 2/3 of each house, which is harder to get than impeachment!

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

There's no mechanism in the US to remove a senile president?

There is, the 25th amendment to the Constitution. But it requires the president's cabinet to be rational human beings and have the best interests of the country in mind, instead of just being a weird cult which holds on to as much power as possible through any means possible.

Oh man I know it would never actually happen, but I would LOVE it if he tried that on an actual rink. He would get his shit rocked six ways from Sunday. And then the rest of the stadium would probably want to have a go, too.

Keep them elbows up, chaps <3
