Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I think Corky Thatcher would make a p good president.

He was starting to lose it like 1 year into his presidency and knew while he was running he would be suffering from mental deterioration. There has to be some medical thresh hold were you are forced to step down, fucker didn't know the difference between movies and actual history.

Longest serving president was in a wheelchair and no offense to the Republican Party but they've made it clear the last few elections that they do not want an intellectual as their candidate and would rather someone close to the common man in intelligence. So as long as that downs guy is really into god and hates brown people he's a shoe in for the republican ticket.

Bush wasn't that dumb, to be fair. Somewhat above average, I'd say. He was too uninformed to be President and he didn't care about sounding smart, that's all.

Watching his debates while running for Governor make it pretty apparent the guy wasn't a complete moron. In fact he was shockingly coherent and articulate. I heard (true or not) that people felt alienated by him in Texas and one of his criticisms was that he was a Yankee from the North (Yale educated, MBA, etc.) so his campaign managers had him purposely dumb down his speech to be more approachable.

Now, it is also possible that as he got older he was obviously starting to deteriorate, possibly due to heavy drug/alcohol abuse for so long. He sits around painting all day. He's basically in a nursing home.

I've always hoped that someday we will show our displeasure with our broken political system by electing ridiculous celebrities.

I first thought I would just boycott national elections. My vote for President doesn't mean jack poo poo as I live in a Blue state that isn't going to swing Red. My vote for Congressmen doesn't matter because of gerrymandering. My vote for Senator doesn't matter because they don't give a poo poo what we want. Figured I'd just vote for local folks (mayor, council, gov)

Now my plan is to use my vote to fuel the fire. The more criminal politicians working only in the interests of their top sponsors we have, the faster the populous will finally have that "oh poo poo" moment and storm the castles, knock out a few of these fucks, and maybe we'll do a little bit of a rewrite to strengthen the checks & balances, and prevent "do nothing government" hostage situations.

I mean for gently caress's sake, I finally actually find myself wishing we had a Parliamentary system. Government (PM) can't get votes/support to do anything? General Election to find someone who CAN get the votes. Our system is so polarized at this point, we're only going to get worse if we don't fix how the system is run.

I mean, poo poo, some type of cultural civil war is the only other eventuality at this point if something isn't done.

...serioustalk endoftimes bs in a thread about having literal retards run for president. gently caress me
