5. THAT WASN'T "BOXING"...
Mon Jun 15, 2026, 01:18 PM
22 hrs ago
It was a "macho" wet dream of masculinity.


To quote today's column Jeff Tiedrich:

Remember the 2006 movie Idiocracy? Its premise was ‘what if everyone in America was a fucking moron — and what if the biggest fucking moron of all was the president?’

Within the world of the movie, it took hundreds of years for the United States to devolve into a state of permanent, unending stupidity.

In real life, it only took ten.

Lucky us.

I’ll bet if old Ben Franklin could have seen this, he would have been all “I said ‘it’s a republic, if you can keep it.’ I didn’t say anything about a pedo president shitting his vulgar aesthetic all over the People’s House. What the fuck is wrong with you?”
