GOP hard at work on those egg prices.

That's gotta be the dumbest thing I've seen today or maybe even the last week.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Are you sure? There’s so much…

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah... There is no way this is more dumb than saying "T bills might not be worth anything"

You won't be surprised to learn that he's a Republican representing Georgia.

[-] hansolo@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

His name is Earl, but he goes by "Buddy."

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I honestly don't know which is worse.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

I would be so fucking embarrassed to have him as my representative.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 months ago

So would his constituents, if they could read.

Idiocracy was never more prophetic than it is in our timeline. All it's missing are the stasis coffins.

I wish you guys could have President Camacho. He at least cared about things enough to trust running the country to the smartest man on earth

[-] HorreC@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I mean... beyond the utmost stupidity of the US renaming everything internally. We're basically setting up for everything to work like our measurements system.

There's the solution. we won't actually anex any other countries... but internally in america we'll just call them all "eagleton" and "America's Hat" and "Dirty land where everyones trying to get into america from".

So, is this something that one throws together while sitting on the potty, or are the taxpayers paying someone to put in a fair amount of time and effort to come up with this waste? Just asking.
