If we gotta vote for a corpse, might as well vote for the best corpse.

I don't want a president beholden to Big Peanut.

[–] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 84 points 4 months ago

You see, unlike his predecessor he did divest himself of his personal businesses before taking office.

Habitat for Humanity is the real deep state

Why do their houses have so few and such small windows? They're stockpiling the glass to build a huge lens that will focus the sun's rays to destroy the moon. The resulting storm of superheated asteroids pelting the Earth will destroy many homes, allowing them to swoop in and build new ones for everyone.

You heard it here first.

[–] BearGun@ttrpg.network 4 points 4 months ago

I did hear it here first, you are absolutely correct about that part.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago

It's hilarious that he sold his peanut farm so people wouldn't worry he was self dealing as President. Which is funny because HW Bush just changed the laws so he COULD self deal without divesting in actual wealth.

Everyone else get the fuck away from me, this is the best joke I can stand to hear all day.

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Peanuts? Aren't they related to ACORN?

[–] mxcory@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

When I was a child my parents called me Acorn. They even named their dry cleaner after me.

Leave Jimmy alone 😭 he's suffered enough from the American political complex.

It’s depressingly funny that this isn’t necessarily a far-fetched possibility

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 10 points 4 months ago

It's not a bad one

My first thought...

(I'm sorry)

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Happens to us all if you live long enough.

The next presidential debate is September 10th. We won't find out until then whether this was just some unlucky fluke or if Biden should truly be moved to a residential care home for his own good.

By then it'll be far too late to field another candidate...

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 19 points 4 months ago

That photo looks like an action shot of a Dementor sucking out his life force

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 months ago (47 children)

How about shut up about this until elections are over? Yes, you're all right about this, Biden is an old fart that should not be president. President should not be older than 65, period.

But there is Trump, and that, well, trumps all. Trump CANNOT become president afian, period

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (3 children)

You cannot will away reality. No amount of willful ignorance will make undecided people vote for Biden.

[–] pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 months ago (4 children)

But looking at Trump's plans will.

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're assuming people are going to do that well, or at all.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago

You got a point there.

Yes, Caligula's horse would be a preferable vote to cast over Trump.

That doesn't mean a wise opposition to Trump would choose to run Caligula's horse.

The question of "who to vote against in the general election" and "who is the best candidate to put forward as nominee in the general election" are very different questions.

Woody Guthrie at the height of his ALS would be a better choice than Trump (TBH, with his attitude towards fascism, he would probably have been a better choice than Biden too).

Like I've said before, all we need is someone to make it over the finish line before dropping dead

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 36 points 4 months ago (1 children)

(Sorry I swear I don’t want 45 to be convicted felon 47)

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nah this is pretty funny even in the context of the crisis

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

It would be funny if it wasn't a recycled 2016 meme

Same shit, different election year.

[–] Napain@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

George bush jr is only in his 70s

[–] authorinthedark@lemmy.sdf.org 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry to remind you of this but George Bush jr served two terms

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Which is where we first learned that a campaign consisting only of "Vote for me, I'm not that other guy" is doomed to fail.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

It worked in 2020.

Nah, I think we should give it to President Brandon.

Who has a better story than Bran the Broken?

[–] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Dianne Feinstein for VP, LFG!

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Can we find a candidate that's a little less maggot ridden?

He'll be 100 by Nov. 2nd, so he's only 24% older than Biden. I like those odds! Maybe his running mate can be Buzz Aldrin

[–] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

Next in line

[–] ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lol 7 points 4 months ago

Peanut farm man good-ish. Orange man bad.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

Bring back Billy Beer

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

I don't want a president who's afraid of rabbits.

[–] rsuri@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

He would probably do better than Biden at debating Trump too.

Trump: "And what I did is I put three great Supreme Court justices on the court, and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade and moving it back to the states. This is something that everybody wanted. "
Carter: "Eh....cought...wheeze"
Audience: "Yup Carter won that round"
