That's... fucking horrifying

[–] CaptainPedantic@lemmy.world 301 points 4 days ago (8 children)

For anyone like me whose bullshit detector calibration is off from the past 10 years of crazy, this is indeed a real tweet from the official White House Twitter account.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 112 points 4 days ago (2 children)

This timeline is fucked and I'm done with it.

[–] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (1 children)

My guy. The crazy shit hasn't started yet. This will be the darkest decade of your life. So much unnecessary suffering..

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Me too Morty, let's get out of here

"I told you, we can only do this three or four more times, and you fucked with SQUIRRELS?!?"

For anyone who would prefer the original link, here’s the direct link to Twit——

just kidding

Thanks

Now print it out and poster it around town.

I mean it's so wild, no one would make it up

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why did they let a kid tweet by the White House account?

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

There's no way they woulda let Musk's head hobbit exist there for so long without earning his keep somehow. Poor little kid is just repeating the same shit he's hearing the adult-shaped ugly children around him saying.

Is it a real quote from the movie? I've seen it but I don't remember what all the signs said.

It's not. But it's disturbingly apt.

perhaps the greatest achievement (?) of trump and his cronies is making "they live" an obsolete movie. they're saying in people's faces now everything every past 'murican government (and their pervasive elites) tried to embelish and coat in self-righteousness. for anyone who lived outside the country, especially those outside global north, this is some sort of twisted vindication.

They've created a "The Complainer is wrong, unless he's a total fucking Karen"

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Which movie was this again?

[–] drcabbage@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago

They Live

Great movie

We really should be seriously considering economic sanctions against America, not just reciprocal tariffs. Bullies always reveal themselves to be cowards when you stand up to them.

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

Australia is just a us military base with kangaroos

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They are kind of sanctioning themselves to be fair.

[–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

No reason not to help them along...

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 67 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I feel so sorry for the onion.

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago

Americans will really get on their knees and say “thank you” as the gun is pressed against their heads, fully believing they’ll enter paradise once the trigger is pulled.

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 53 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Classic movie! It was commenting on the Regan era trickle-down, job exporting, tax-cutting agenda and the people behind it

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 days ago

Here's a link to the song "Pet" by A Perfect Circle.

Don't know why your comment made me want to add this.

"The left is sniff so mean!"

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

This reminds me of Hydra's "Compliance will be rewarded"

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Rewarded with what? I can go to heaven in the afterlife?

[–] MisterMoo@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

“We need you to not retaliate because we’re not serious to begin with.”

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Doubt humanity

Stay asleep

They'll call it the "Pat on the Head Bill"
