In Rome, Caligula made his horse a senator. In America, this happened.

Horse? I thought you said whores

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fine. Then I'll take the whores.

They said whores, not horse.

[–] DirtPuddleMisfortune@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

He said whore, not cunt.

With blackjack! And hookers!

Made his whore a senator?

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Scholars argue this didnt happen and was written as comedic insult by one of his detractors.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Scholars argue a lot of things. Though it's true that a lot of the work of Roman historians is really one faction slandering another. But the behavior of some of the emperors was so grotesquely evil that it's hard to separate the truth from the lies.

Both the greeks and romans and their forebearers all practiced just obvious bias in their writing. About a rival they might describe him as the most famous pederast of the land.

We've advanced so much since then! We've put a pedophile in power, yet allow him to bury the evidence so nobody calls him that.

Second Elephant in the room: trump.

Nothing specific about him. Just calling him an elephant.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 1 month ago

Don't insult elephants like that.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't tell junior about the elephant.

BIDENFLATION

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 76 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Her only qualification for this is what, catching loads from a child-raping traitor?

[–] LMurch@thelemmy.club 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Doing jobs Americans won't."

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Performing.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

She might have taken loads from other UN dignitaries or the leaders of their countries as well.

I think they're doing a reality TV series next, because this is what we deserve.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Is the UN failing citizens as well? Why was she even allowed to preside?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Because a country can assign whoever they want to be their representative, even if it makes a farce of the whole thing.

To have the peace you must suck, suck, then you fuck, fuck and you get bukkake-peace. All over me face.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Trump is trying to undermine the UN because he wants to replace it with the “Board of peace” or genocide cover up committee

[–] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 14 points 1 month ago

wow they really don't care, do you?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why is an unelected person whose only claim to fame is being a baby chute for a pedophile representing us at the UN?

Can we please appoint literally any other hooker on earth?

[–] PedroMaldonado@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Goddammit. These jackasses have made our country a fucking joke. Only, the joke on us

[–] DokiDokiCT@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Truly the most qualified of all potential candidates. This is an absolute joke.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Honestly, I see the news, but no one has said yet just how and why the fuck the first lady presided over the fucking UN Security Council?

WTF? Why was this even a thing? The fuck is wrong with the UN?

Honestly, this is the moment where it feels hopeless. If this fucking asshole can put his hooker wife in front of the world, and the world capitulates... There's no one coming to help us, the epstien class has won, they have all the power and are rubbing our noses in it.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The US is a permanent member of the security council and can choose their delegation.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 1 points 1 month ago

It doesn't make it any less insane. they are just rolling over to this madman.
