| /u/an_older_meme In elementary school they told us anyone can be president. We didn't know it was a warning. |
| /u/Which_Produce4418 Either way, looks like the ballroom isn't necessary anymore. Ufc got it covered |
| /u/moonmanchild yup lots of room for balls |
| /u/SnowyPeachh At this point the ballroom is probably getting nervous about being replaced. One more year and official government events are getting settled with walkout music and title belts. |
| /u/SnooPickles3789 i'm just imagining myself talking to some person in the year 2016 and telling them "hey, what if i told you that in exactly a decade's time the president of the united states of america is going to introduce a UFC arena on the lawn of the white house where fighters can give each other brain damage. 'who is this president?' you ask? you wanna take a guess?" |
| /u/PianoAndFish Imagine talking to someone in 2006 and saying "hey, what if I told you that guy off that reality TV show is going to be president in 20 years and build a UFC arena on the White House lawn?" They would be entirely within their rights to loudly accuse you of smoking crack. |
| /u/SoonToBeBanned24 ...and being 'whack'! |
| /u/dontmentiontrousers "Ronald Reagan? The actor?!?" |
| /u/an_older_meme "Anyone" means what it says. |
| /u/relaxd80 *a reality tv villain |
| /u/ButtersScotch7000 Abe Simpson: "We've got a whole system in place to keep people like you from ever becoming President!" |
| /u/TK_Games Homer would still make a better President than current options |
| /u/kylezillionaire Don't think Frank Grimes could handle that one |
| /u/MaximusHomerdrive Charles Manson only had 9 felonies to his credit. He would have made a better president than our current one. |
| /u/TrumpnEpstein President Trump was visiting an elementary classroom and the teacher was asking the students what they wanted to be when they grew up. A Latino student said he wanted to he president. Trump interjected "Are you stupid?!? Are you an idiot?!?" The student replied "Actually I changed my mind. I didn't realize those were requirements" |
| /u/Blockhead47 "We didn't know it was a warning." |
| /u/dontmentiontrousers Now there's a meme I've not seen in a long time. A long time. |
| /u/Automatic-Guide-4307 Barbra walters asked trump in the 90's what he would do if he lost all his money,run for president he said. |
| /u/Interesting-Day-9369 and then rip off the USA |
| /u/TwoFingersWhiskey As a kid, someone thought to ask "what if they elect someone reaaaaaally stupid?" The teacher just said something about how it's a matter of opinion, and most people want to vote for the best party (and thus leader) to meet the needs of the nation at that point in time. (Obligatory "I'm Canadian.") |
| /u/SnowyPeachh Looking back, "anyone can be president" might be the most unintentionally terrifying civics lesson ever taught. We all heard opportunity, nobody heard the disclaimer. |
| /u/Knoxius This same idea has worked its way into my views on abortion lately |
| /u/VixxSynn Every notice how the "arena" looks like one of those baby activity centers that they lay under? |
| /u/TheFeelsGoodMan Complete with a playpen in the middle. |
| /u/Turn1scoop Sounds like the perfect place for someone to take a nap and shit their diaper. |
| /u/VixxSynn Hmmmmm....who couldpossibly do that for us now? 🍊 |
| /u/shuknjive I thought the same thing too! In fact my youngest had a play center and the shape of it looked very similar. |
| /u/Dead_Inside50 To be fair, we watch dudes with permanent brain damage run the government every day. |
| /u/DutchProv Kennedy's brainworm is very upset at you. |
| /u/jolinar30659 Is he just a really stupid Goa'uld? |
| /u/Kenai-Phoenix Remember when there was an established decorum while holding the position as well as concerning the office itself, was the norm? |
| /u/SnowyPeachh That's what makes the whole "brain damage" angle such a dark joke. People keep acting like competence is the standard when half the electorate has already lowered the bar into the basement. |
| /u/acityonthemoon But plants do crave electrolytes. |
| /u/bloatedcarcasses That's what I searched the comments for. This. |
| /u/scottylm I just rewatched that movie a couple nights ago.. and it's only been 20 years not 500. |
| /u/ThrowingShaed im wondering if that was already an upswing and not the bottom. and im wondering what the bottom is... |
| /u/Macone Yup, but this is the prequel. We still need a few generations until there are no normal IQ people left. |
| /u/nomedable The remaining 400 something years of hell are how long it'll take for the moron in chief to be one that can accept they're wrong, back down and reverse their decision. Good luck everybody. |
| /u/Worldly_Bit1416 The similarities with that movie are crazy |
| /u/XminusOne Sponsored by Carls Jr. |
| /u/AlexSmithsonian Idiocracy was also supposed to be a warning, not a goal. |
| /u/Eelroots Camacho was a leader that admitted they need help and trusted a man of science. Don't be like Trump, be like Camacho Elizondo Mountain Dew. |
| /u/Extreme-Slice-1010 According to Trump it's the most beautiful documentary he watched. The attention to detail is unmatched. |
| /u/juliawithtea The writers of Idiocracy probably never expected people to use it as a political reference guide |
| /u/brunogadaleta I'd pay to see Trump on a motocross. |
| /u/thisistherevolt Picture looks straight out of Far Cry. |
| /u/pinkyywhirll It absolutely has Far Cry energy. Feels like you'd show up expecting a press conference and leave with three side quests and a hostile militia chasing you across the map. |
| /u/Beneficial-Oil-814 I hope it rains bigly with tremendous thunderstorms. |
| /u/lowercasenameofmine It's forecast to do just that. So they will have spent all that tax money on nothing |
| /u/_Ocean_Machine_ It's fine, Trump will draw on a weather map with a sharpie |
| /u/Miami_Mice2087 it's an el nino year, the weather will be terrible everywhere |
| /u/kaisadilla_ And he won't allow it to be canceled because, remember, the President is above the law. |
| /u/NorthernLights92 Sponsored by Bud Light? Interesting... They oppose the LGBTQ+ community so much yet they got Bud Light who happens to have a strong relationship with the LGBTQ+ community. Edit: I realize now that I may have been wrong about the relationship but I thought it was above average. Either way, this whole situation is fuckey |
| /u/Jerking_From_Home That's probably the company that would give Trump the biggest kickback. There's no principles or morals among them. |
| /u/NorthernLights92 That very well could be true |
| /u/DrivellingFool Create a beer and call it "I support gay marriage and gun control" The right will despise it. Now pay Turnp $10 million dollars to endorse it. He will take that money with ZERO hesitation. I'm willing to bet he'd do it for 10 grand because he's a complete whore. His cult will be 'ironically' supportive of gay marriage and gun control within the week. This is because they're so busy owning the libs to bother thinking any further. |
| /u/Dounce1 I'm not sure I'd call it a strong relationship. |
| /u/NorthernLights92 I mean, you may be right but it was a good enough relationship to recognize someone for transitioning and personalizing a can for them Edit: I'm not trying to argue. It was just a thought. Strong probably isn't the word for their relationship but it's above average |
| /u/ddplz Bud light has been doing serious "Damage control" ever since that "Incident" including firing everyone involved and then dumping tens if not hundreds of millions into rightwing events to get their main customer base back. Make no mistake, their loyalty is to the almighty dollar. |
| /u/chironomidae Bud Light never gave a shit about LGBTQ+ people, or any people for that matter. They just say what's convenient, where it's convenient. |
| /u/DetroitLionsEh I wouldn't call a company that fired literally their entire marketing team for supporting trans rights a company that supports the LGBTQ+ community |
| /u/JackSquirts UFC renewed the sponsorship with Bud Light for 2024. They've been sponsoring events since 1/1/24. |
| /u/FrostyD7 Uhh, they got in line years ago and gave the bigots almost everything they wanted. And they got on their knees to beg Trump to ask their base to back off. They fired the people responsible for the ad that sparked the controversy. They rolled back support for LGBT events and communities. And that's just for starters. Target did the same thing and they've been using these as success stories to bring countless other companies to their knees just by asking if they wanna be next. |
| /u/WerewolfSuperb6280 bro, this is the kind of political chaos i didn't sign up for. like, wtf happened to dignity? |
| /u/_Ocean_Machine_ A bunch of really stupid people got mad that everyone thought they were stupid so they doubled down because self-improvement is too hard for them |
| /u/Callidonaut Stupid people find dignity to be boring. |
| /u/Comfortable_Horse277 WE aren't "going to watch" Jack shit. Anyone tuning into this is a brain dead moron. |
| /u/benergiser i solute all who sail the high seas in protest 🫡 |
| /u/bradbull Exactly. That's true for UFC in general but especially true for this. |
| /u/Total-Dog-3580 Trump just enjoys watching sweaty, half naked musclemen grapple in a cage. |
| /u/JudeRanch I agree, but only half naked? He will be bigly disappointed 😂 |
| /u/IsolationAutomation Wait until he finds out how old they are. |
| /u/ExcessiveBulldogery Let's also not forget the drama of Obama's tan suit... |
| /u/Kenai-Phoenix A drama that lasted for weeks, mind you, damn shame as it was a mighty fine suit, he looked good. Oh the scandal of it all. |
| /u/-Shasho- That's when they decided that decorum was a thing of the past. |
| /u/RecipeFunny2154 In addition to everything else, it's shocking to me that a temporary structure like this would cost $60,000,000. I used to make jokes about how this has felt like the WWE Presidency, but this is too on the nose. How does someone grow up now and even know what government is supposed to be doing? lol |
| /u/luigi517 This shit is straight out of Idiocracy. It's like they're trying to reenact it. |
| /u/mpete76 Well there isn't anything MAGA loves more than watching half naked men rubbing up on each other. Zelensky just had too many clothes on for their tastes. |
| /u/benergiser it IS pride month after all.. they bout to set a new grindr record? |
| /u/Disco425 The Bud light part isn't a joke, their logo is literally on the railings. Talk about the pendulum effect... They might be over correcting a bit on this one |
| /u/mauwie90 As long as the fighters say thank you enough it will be fine. |
| /u/Mr__Jeff Brought to you by Carl's Jr. |
| /u/FlyRabbit Why do you keep saying that!! |
| /u/F80_Vibes How much of that money is our tax payers money? |
| /u/Kontrafantastisk In Tekken back in the day, the stages were often with iconic buildings in the background. But the fighters were also often tigers, pandas or robots... |
| /u/david13z The current occupant is already suffering from brain damage. |
| /u/JC2535 Have you even said Thank you once? |
| /u/Ok_Handle_2213 I know this is a small drop on the sea of absurdity but WHY IS MAGA SO TACKY???? |
| /u/OhHiFelicia I gave you brain damage and you didn't even say thank you. |
| /u/Used_Intention6479 Zelenskyy didn't wear a suit, and Obama wore a tan suit, which didn't suit republicans at all. |
| /u/ladyjayne81 The trashy people wanted a trashy president and that's what they got. The rest of us get to be embarrassed daily. |
| /u/EOVA94 As a long time mma fans this shit is embarassing for real Straight out of idiocracy |
| /u/Character_Bed1212 If Trump can sit in the stands and watch, I guess we don't need a ballroom for security |
| /u/Regretted_Simian Did you even say "thank you" once? |
| /u/dvishall But Hey it's got ELECTROLYTES |
| /u/conglomitall brought to you by brawndo |
| /u/RealisticIsopod1307 Idiocracy becomes more and more real |
| /u/MyFirstCarWasA_Vega A fake man loves fake fights. Sense made. |
| /u/lurkingcameranerd How the fuck did scaff cost $60m?! |
| /u/No_Cupcake7037 If it's sponsored by bud light why did it cost 60 million dollars from tax payer money? |
| /u/No-Blueberry-1823 The best part is his cult will still vote for him. Why get mad at Trump? I'm pissed off at people who will vote for tyrant just because they're racist |
| /u/ExcessiveBulldogery I don't think this angle gets enough attention. It's useful, to a point, to focus attention on one person - but they're only the figurehead. There's a vast machinery behind the scenes, and millions of culpable asshats who make this possible. |
| /u/iCCup_Spec But just a handful of billionaires drive the propaganda machine to brainwash the uneducated. |
| /u/SGTSPC It's like a precursor to Idiocracy |
| /u/ohyesiam1234 Rasslin' on the WH lawn? How undignified yet perfect for Trump. |
| /u/Early_Register_6483 If mental gymnastics was an Olympic sport, MAGA would compete with Russia for the gold medal. |
| /u/KingfishingYoMama Bread? No. Circuses? Check! |
| /u/iDoNotHaveAnIQ Wasn't Republicans MAGA protesting Bud Light for being too woke? |
| /u/Quiet_Ad_395 Didn't something like this happened in Idiocracy the movie? |
| /u/scrotumseam 60 million grift. This in no way can cost over 1 million to setup. That that's excessive. |
| /u/SocialMediaDystopian My gosh. The vibe match to pre-"Fall of Rome" is palpable. It's the Colloseum 😳 |
| /u/ILoveRegenHealth $60M (likely higher). $15M for the pool. $15M-$25M for the horse statues. $600M for the ballroom. Hundreds of millions more for the Arch De Trumpshit. Over a billion for worthless shit! Can't even get the universal healthcare! |
