    Several Republicans in the Senate admitted they had concerns about Dr Lector’s suitability for the job but approved the nomination anyway because the President promised not to publicly call them thunderous dickheads.

    The president went on to publicly call them thunderous dickheads.

    “There’s probably a lesson to be learnt here,” said moderate Republican Simon Williams.

    “Not really sure what that is though.”

    This is too real. But might be a stretch for a Republican senator to have even a millisecond of doubt.

    This is a bit off topic but Mads Mikkelsen > Anthony Hopkins

    Hopkins portrayal is unnerving and gross, which is a bit too on the nose for my taste.

    Mikkelsen is charming and calculated, a stealth predator, playing 4D chess in a world of toddlers. He is a fucking demon.

    Pretty sure fictional Lector has a lower body count than RFK. RFK killed like 80 children via anti-measles vaccine propagandizing. The Trumpists are obsessed with those sad and troubling movies because they portray caricatured trans people and cops are portrayed heroically.

    I find it frustrating at times that culture on North America is not up to the task of making light of political troubles on the continent.

    He said he doesn’t eat people though and wants to make america better. Who are you gonna believe? The millions of people that called out his cannibalism and murder and psychopath behavior? Or the guy who clearly said he doesn’t eat people?

      Yeah, eating people was clearly trolling for the lulz. He’s certainly not on a eating-people platform. That would be silly. Okay he might still eat a few people but surely not me. As far as I’m concerned I’m trusting the guy.

    I forgot how much comedy goes down hill when trump becomes president. All the sudden shouting “Orange man bad” and “fuck trump” is considered peak comedy. I’m not a funny person and I could write these headlines and get a job I guess.

    “Darth Vader appointed head of youngling education”

    “OJ Simpson appointed head of domestic violence policy”

    “Joker appointed head of mental health”

    “Epstein appointed head of taking down human trafficking”

    “Sauron appointed head of magical ring making”
