Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

In case people forgot, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho was a porn superstar and, relevantly, five-time Ultimate Smackdown wrestling champion.

I always see this 'counter argument' but referring to Idiocracy is more about comparing the stupidness than the President.

I'm not making any arguments, I'm pointing out that wrestling specifically was involved in the plot of Idiocracy.

It doesn't seem counter at all. Trump is in several Russian porno tapes just ask him, and he was part of WWE multiple times.

So it works in stupidity and his character traits.
