It’s a level we Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans have loved for many years now.

Yea… This is just Jon Steward level snark that makes us chuckle and feel like we’re doing something, when in reality we’re doing jack shit.

Democrats need to be organizing and running from the local level up and let go of these clever quips. They do nothing except placate people.

I honestly believe Jon coming back did more harm than good. He’s giving leftist an outlet so they don’t actually do anything with their anger.

All these comedians are just letting us vent our energy, meaning it’s not used to organise and run for something.

You can’t tell people the country is going under, while also cracking jokes.

LAUGHING IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING ANYONE CAN EVER DO!

We all must be grim and serious because we all know that those Jon Stewart level people never achieve anything.

Other than becoming president of Ukraine.

But really, what has Zelensky accomplished?

This looks like one of those superhero movies where they ran out of ideas so they just throw in every villain they can think of.

Also it was very common in 90s beatem-ups, where the last stage was just wave after wave of the previous bosses.

Trump is literally filling his cabinet with people he things will “trigger the libs”. It’s honestly quite beautiful watching him set himself of for complete and utter failure. This was always the state of right-wing politics, now the brainrot has full control over the Government.

Like last time, I think the only campaign promise he’ll be able to keep will be cutting taxes for the rich. Outside of that, this admin is going to be a complete chaotic disaster.

They’ll tear it apart before it implodes. There won’t be some easy return to normalcy.

What are the odds he appoints enough reps and/or senators that they end up the minority in at least one half of Congress?

That would be pretty stupid even for him, but nothing is off the table anymore, so fingers crossed.

It doesn’t seem like it’s someone competent. These aren’t even good at being bad, they’re just bad.

So, by that logic, we can probably expect Ted Cruz to be the next guy in Grover 2.0’s cabinet.

The Cabinet list so far, as it was officially leaked moments ago on NudeAfrica.com:

State - Matt Gaetz

Treasury - Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino

Interior - A t-shirt cannon

Justice - DraftKings®

Agriculture - owner of that McDonald’s

Commerce - currently accepting bids

Labor - Immortan Joe

Defense - Vladimir Putin

Housing and Urban Development - it’s Trump, so probably Herschel Walker, ffs

Transportation - Elon Musk’s twitter account

Energy - V. Putin

Health and Human Services - sold off and privatized between Nestlé, Saudi Aramco, and Ticketmaster

Education - Kid Rock, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, and Lauren Boebert, and all sewn together as a human centipede

Veterans’ Affairs - Captain Morgan; under secretaries Jack Daniels and Jim Beam

Homeland Security - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, once the check clears

Satire is dead. I earnestly predict at least one more pick on this list proves actually true.

Poor Camacho gets shit for being thick, but when the world’s smartest man turned up he asked his advice gave him a job. Eventually.

That is a very valid point. He had the strength to yield. The problem with our real world Camacho is he’s too weak to do that.

Housing and urban development will probably be that guy who owns Monarch real estate investment. Large scale slumlord.
