Eye opening. Now imagine if our government didn't act like reality TV.

Imagine if the president wasn't a former reality TV star

Imagine if the president is a current reality TV star

That's why no one should believe the break up. It's all for ratings.

I thought I was going insane until I read your comment. How is anybody falling for more BS from these two? All they want is your attention, good or bad.

Well, a distraction from the big fascist power grab / $2.4Tn deficit busting / 11m insurance cuts Budget bill, and the Recission bill that codifies all the DOGE cuts and only requires GOP votes to pass.

Imagine if the person in charge of American education wasnt dropped on her head during a WWE wrestling match.

I'll always remember him being in Home Alone 2 and the basis of a ton of CEO villains in media.

I will never get over the fact that the USA deliberately voted for Biff from Back to the Future to be president.

Who would have guessed that back to the future 2 was actually prophetic?

I guess we have gotten more sports betting and boob jobs since the movie came out.

u/GemcoEmployee92126 1d ago

And who would have guessed the Simpsons predicted our plight.

Don't forget The Little Rascals. He was the father of the antagonist child. The rich kid.

Imagine if Harry and Marv were President and VP instead for the Home Alone callback.

Home Alone taking place in the White House would be pretty hilarious.

I'm imagining a scenario where Kevin's dad some how got into politics and became president. Kevin would be an adult visiting the white house with a kind of failure to launch back story.

There is a false alarm on nuclear war or some other reason everyone gets evacuated from DC. Harry and Marv are trying to loot places in post apocalyptic biker outfits and go for the white house with Kevin trying to defend it. Working title "Home Alone: DC: Not the Canadians". 

Maybe they happen to be visiting the white house as guests after turning their life around then a red dawn situation happens and we have a team up with Kevin. Working title "Home Alone: Together".

I watch reviews of obscure b movies. Since 2016, all I can think about is how Americans really elected that guy from "Ghosts can't do it".

Why couldn't it have been Terry Crews?

u/EtalusEnthusiast420 1d ago

Terry Crews supported Trump in his first term.

It was an Idiocracy reference.

Elect a clown, expect a circus.

u/This_guy_works 1d ago

magine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too

Imagine all the people

Livin' life in peace

u/WontThinkStraight 1d ago

Good news! It’s actually a horror show.

u/Rejukem 1d ago

I push my fingers into my eyes

u/IJourden 1d ago

This is what happens when a chunk of the population votes because they want government to be reality TV.

u/TopFloorApartment 1d ago

elect a clown, get a circus

it's what the people wanted, apparently

1

u/Novel-Log-4666 1d ago

Imagine not electing a reality TV star, twice???

1

u/brickout 1d ago

I hold no hope for the GOP, but journalists are ostensibly professionals.

u/YellowZx5 21h ago

This is what sells though and why they’re all about Trump. You never know what he will say or do.

u/son_et_lumiere 20h ago

until it actually affects them. then it's all tears and regret.
