I bet he's gonna teleport away some funds.

Yes, Gregg, we all know what blacking out is like.

I know some people that can help you with this.

How can you pack so many high level idiots in a single country? truly a feat.

[–] garth@sh.itjust.works 12 points 7 hours ago

Well you see, half the voters decided it would be a good idea to elect total outsiders with no relevant education or experience, whose only qualification was a willingness to say crazy shit out loud. The unqualified outsider-in-chief has now packed high-level offices with his favorite TV and podcast personalities, who also have no relevant education or experience but have made a living saying crazy shit out loud.

It's easy when you kick out all the smart ones, or render their fields of study obsolete by ceasing to pay for their research, forcing them overseas.

Anyone who was a party animal worth their reputation during their early twenties eventually ends up past midnight at a greasy spoon. Chowing down on comfort food trying to sober up and keep the contents of their stomach down. With them waking up in the morning hungover and little to no memory about what transpired over the course of the last twelve hours, give or take.

I was with my boys one time, and I was telling them I was gonna go to Waffle House and get Waffle House. And I ended up at a Waffle House

this was in Georgia

Being in Georgia, I mean.

I find Ambien gives me the same abilities he's describing.

Unfortunately the effects are only temporary.

I haven't figured out how to teleport without Ambien, yet.

Nothing is too stupid for 2026!

Where does that land on the Waffle House Index?

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

A code red on the waffle house index would imply the resturant is gone. Clearly the teleporter is still working so it cant be that bad.

There’s a reason I live in a van out in the boonies

Please tell me that there's a river nearby

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Mostly the Sacramento River

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yes! I hereby declare you the second coming of Matt Foley!

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Wow, thanks, that’s quite the honor. I hope I can live up to his legacy.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

*down by the river

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

We prefer the term- Trumpistanians. Thank you very much

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Ugh, they probably use digital clocks, too

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Next we'll have the ghost of Macho Man Randy Savage running a government agency
