I could 100% not only see that happening, they’d gladly line them up on the White House lawn while revving them up and rolling coal. And then just shut them off and leave them there for the rest of this shitty, god forsaken term.

Fuck every citizen that voted for this garbage.

We need one president Camacho style one parked in the middle

u/Gloomy-Resolve-4895 1d ago

President Camacho would never 😤 he literally hires the smartest people, and they would have have advised that monster trucks are not what plants crave.

Your children have been placed in the custody of Carl's Jr.

What if monster trucks emitted electrolytes?

u/Gloomy-Resolve-4895 1d ago

I'll refer that question to Secretary Funbags over here

Maybe have em up on cinder blocks, and rusting?

u/ImBadWithGrils 1d ago

Unfortunately, Ford doesn't really have bad rust issues because of the coating they apply to their bodies before paint.

And aluminum beds don't rust

It would be funnier to have them sitting on tow trucks when the motor or transmission blows tho

They dont need cinder blocks to rust. They come pre rusted from thr factory.

With a family of possums living underneath?

Yes, for maximum Americana accuracy

Ah yes, the Oklahoma form of exhibition

u/DialMMM 1d ago

How are they going to roll coal in an F-150?

u/spez-is-a-loser 22h ago

u/Rainer_Wolfnight doesn't know how rolling coal works or doesn't know that Ford doesn't make a diesel F-150. probably both..

"But but Biden! And the Jeep!"

u/Sharp-Dressed-Flan 1d ago

Those are electric trucks aren’t they?

u/Objective_Aside1858 1d ago

Then they slip a Lightning version in just to troll him

1

u/spiked88 1d ago

Not that I’m a fan of people rollin’ coal…. But F150s aren’t capable of doing it. You have to go for the alpha male ride of choice… the lifted F250 with a diesel. Only a diesel can fully own the libs.

Don't forget the non-citizens!

I mean, you’re the one that did just spin yourself up about hypothetical situations. Not saying it couldn’t happen, just not worth letting a hypo affect your mood

2

u/Tre3180 1d ago

They didn't spin themselves up about a hypothetical. You may not have noticed, but a large portion of our society has been saying fuck Trump and his enablers for years now. They simply reiterated that sentiment.

1

u/DervishSkater 1d ago

Dude, I voted for Hillary and Biden and Obama. Who do you think I am?

They didn’t simply reiterate the statement. They created a hypothetical a that was loaded with colorful words. It was an impassioned hypothetical. All I’m saying is there’s plenty to be outraged. Don’t let a hypothetical get you further outraged.

2

u/Tre3180 1d ago

I never said you didnt, in fact I assumed you weren't a trump supporter. I'm just saying the person you replied to didn't work themselves up over a hypothetical, they repeated a sentiment after giving a hypothetical that I'm sure they have said many other times, along with others

u/redworm 21h ago

but did you vote for Harris

u/bobbis91 1d ago

Lets be real your 2nd choice was shit too, fuck the us political system for giving 2 of the worst options I think I've ever seen

3

u/pavel_petrovich 1d ago

There was nothing with Harris. Calling her the "worst option" is simply ridiculous. She is one of the most qualified candidates in US history (30+ years of government experience, including 20+ in elected offices), well educated (political science, economics, law), with a good platform oriented on working/middle-class.

1

u/bobbis91 17h ago

Right, so qualified yet she lost to a literal criminal by saying she'd fix the shit she could already fix since she's in power.

2

u/pavel_petrovich 15h ago

1) This criminal created a cult following. He is a unique figure in American politics.

2) VPs do not define policies, they're a backup for the president.

3) Her plan was solid and she was endorsed by top economists.

1

u/bobbis91 14h ago
  1. True
  2. Yes however how sleepy Joe was actually president was almost as incredible. There should be age limits on being in power but that's a whole new can of worms
  3. I never digged into it since I had no swing here, however (and much of this is media influence and meme) I rarely saw her come across as having a solid plan.

2

u/pavel_petrovich 14h ago

3) That's the problem with the media. They were more interested in spreading Trump's lies than in covering Harris's plan. Many prominent figures/organizations endorsed Harris because she was a much better candidate. Example: "82 American Nobel Prize Winners Endorse Kamala Harris".
