I was hoping to see Justin Trudeau box djt one day.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The Orange Shitstain vs the Lunatic Ayatollah would be better.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

That's the same picture

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 13 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Okay but I want to be on that fight card. I have challenged Stephen Miller dozens, maybe even hundreds, of times at this point.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure in a fair fight I could take RFK and Kid Rock together.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

RFK and Kid Rock would unironically make a hilarious comedy duo as villains in a Jackie Chan movie

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

Let’s go!

Promise to also give him a wedgie and a wet willy for me. For the good old times sake.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

I’m gonna make him cry and eat dirt.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 61 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We really are living in the Idiocracy timeline.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's way worse, Idiocracy had good faith leaders, our are pieces of shit.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

they only had good faith leaders long after the pieces of shit had set the world up in a way where everything would be shit unless someone had some sort of cold storage device for humans that would wake them up 500 years later

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Where can we sign up to be put into cold storage?

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

first you gotta join the army, then be the most average person possible, and also have no drive to do anything. good luck

[–] DaGreenGobbo@feddit.uk 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I'm halfway there! But somehow I'm the second half of the way there.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

well its pretty easy to join the army. just have a pulse and dont be a sleepwalker

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

I'm in! Any situation where trumps get punched in the face is ok by me.

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

I absolutely hate this timeline 🙄

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is our regularly scheduled reminder that we absolutely need celebrity death match to be brought back.

Someone just rip the idea off if the rights are unattainable.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Now a fight to the death, that I could get behind. I'm thinking we give hunter a net and trident, and don jr idk. Gladiator game, nationally televised. Fuck yeah, let's do it.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We were supposed to see Zuckerberg and musk, but then musks mom said he couldn’t play. Then we were all sad.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

We all knew Musk would bitch out.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 95 points 1 day ago (1 children)

would be the first cage fight i ever watched

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Ironically, I actually saw the cage fight where The Undertaker took out Mankind. I was visiting someone who was a big WWF fan and they had it playing.

Non-scripted fighting? Can’t say I’ve ever watched that.

[–] OS2Warp@lemmy.zip 5 points 15 hours ago

I miss ShittyMorph.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

If you look into that event, its not entirely as scripted as you think, which is partly why it was such a shocking event. Mankind did take a huge risk and I'd argue he very easily could have died.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Widely regarded as one of the best wrestling matches of all time.

I want to see Hunter smash the shit out of stephen miller.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I'd like to see anyone clobber PeeWee Himmler, but I'd prefer it to be a minority, and/or a woman. I'd LOVE to see an Abuela beat him into a sobbing fetal position with a chancla.

I'd watch that.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Watch Junior try to spin this as a threat on his life and get Hunter gulag-ed. Wouldn't put it past those thin-skinned crybullies.

There is no yield, only death is the test of it....

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Let's fucking go. Should be a monthly fight.

I mean the vulgarity of the event is obvious. And the mental image of Hunter bitchslapping Jr is enticing.

However this kind of exchange in itself is so far of the classy scale, more in the trailer park terms of conversation.

We should give them a couple of pistols and let them shoot each other instead far more civilized. I'm not even joking, though I'll add that I'd swap jrs ammo for blanks.
