    Nick Adams’ social media is so absurd that many have speculated he’s a performance artist. The president thinks he should be a diplomat

          He had the important (and, admittedly unrealistic) important capability of recognising that someone was smarter than himself.

          I honestly think this is the major plot hole in Idiocracy: The first thing to go would be peoples ability to recognise expertise. Thus, nobody would be willing or able to recognise that a stranger knew how to solve a problem they had no clue how to deal with. This is the real-world Idiocracy we’re seeing today.

      This is my favorite. I ride motorcycles and as a whole the people I’ve met who ride are pretty accepting except for a couple of very old or very young dickheads. But trying to ride that fucker side saddle would get you laughed at by even the most accepting riders.

        He didn’t say he “rides” the motorcycle, that’s just how he sits on a Harley. He sits on it as if someone else owns it and he asked if he could have his picture taken with it.

        My best guess is that he’s actually a hardcore MAGA grifter, but part of that is being an attention removed, so he’s happy to put out tweets where people dunk on him as long as it results in more attention.

    Hooters stayed bussin' through the Iraq war and Barack Hussein Obama's recession.  If 9/11 couldn't bring Hooters down, there's not a chance in hell Joe Biden can, no cap.  Alpha males stan Hooters.

    Anyone who refers to themselves as an alpha male is in fact a complete removed.

        I always assumed this was a parody account because of this post. Recent developments suggest otherwise. Is this guy, in fact, not a parody?

    Y’all. Never heard of this guy before now. Read through all those screenshots from merc and the quotes from the article, and… this guy is most definitely performing for us. And I mean all of us, captivating the callously cultish right and aggravating reasonable lefties alike. Impressive!

    There really is a nuance to his apparent lack of any self-awareness that simply cannot be dismissed. To ride such a fine line, to rustle the jimmies of so many, and then manage to be tapped for such a position, one with such exquisitely mediocre amounts of power…

    It’s not the onion. Dude is the onion.

    Hopefully the onion to my guacamole.

    I, for one, would love to see a taco replaced with a tomahawk any Tuesday. Any Tuesday now…
