Plot twist. It doesn't take effort. It just comes natural.
when your a star, they just let you do it
My new brain canon is now that he somehow said the wrong "your" because that seems on brand
The guy once stated that he doesn’t really feel his personality has changed since the first grade. This was probably one of his more honest statements.
It’s not effort or work you are seeing. It’s a child’s guile wrapped in an adult’s body.
Keep that statement saved. You'll need it again soon.
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.
Camacho actually cared about his people and did his best to help.
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.
Yeah, I mean it was most overtly a commentary on climate change, but to a great extent it really was about the problems with current politics.
I'm right there with you, it was infuriating, and absolutely right, and great, so now what do I do?
Prophecy
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.
And when Trumby finally keels over, Logan will be right there with a camera to make a video about it, it's perfect
That's the only time I'd ever be willing to watch his content.
Carrot Top and Andy Dick have declined senior posts in the administration for fear of damaging their serious reputation. Rob Snyder is on the fence. Scott Baio is actually a liability at this point.
Well I'm kinda hoping someone would interrupt him by cutting of his head.
I mean metaphorically, ofc
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.
Of course he would.
So much for not liking losers. I guess if you're fascist enough pedo Trump will make an exception.
Morcheeba dropped a banger about this phenomenon some years ago
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're saying we get to watch this free or we have to pay?
Unfortunately it's going to come out of our tax dollars. So a little of both.
You need to be a certain age to run for president in America? I understand minors but I’m talking about adults.
Yes, you have to be 35.
Is there a reason for this? Is it experience?
Because if so surely there should be an max age limit too? You shouldn’t be able to run if you are nearly 80 with dementia…
I don't really know the reason why 35 specifically. It's been that way since the Constitution was written. Maybe they felt anyone under 35 couldn't have had enough life experience to properly carry out the duties of office? As for why no max age limit, no clue there either
The reason is simply that the Constitution says so since the beginning.
Old people set the ages for office and for some reason they always forget the ceiling.
There are many countries where that is the case for various political offices... the two houses of Congress in the US also have (somewhat lower) age requirements.
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.
No shit. But you presumably still want qualified people doing the job?
As far as I'm concerned "makes good decisions" is a better qualification than "made a career out of running for office"
And how does one typically get good enough at a job to "make good decisions"? And how would you know if they would "make good decisions" in that job?
Not being so power hungry as to choose politics as a career thereby losing touch with the rest of society is a damn good start
Idk maybe they could spend a few months telling us their ideas, and then the people could go and pick the candidate they like the most, like some sort of election
aoc
What about her?
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
Very serious country.
PAUL BROTHERS TOUCHED
These honestly just keep getting funnier. Who will he think of next?!
And that dumbass would be better than the rest of the dipshits in the Trump cabinet.
I'm really not convinced he would... He's just as much a piece of shit as anyone in the cabinet.
