Idiocracy had a president that recognized his own limitations, hired the smartest people he could find, and followed their advice to save his nation.

Idiocracy was a POSITIVE scenario compared to this

    The day before National POW/MIA Recognition Day, Jake and Logan Paul addressed troops gathered at the Pentagon.

    From the podium, Logan Paul told those gathered that touring the building was “a cool experience.”

    He added, “I don’t think there is any greater commitment to sacrifice than those who are willing to live, die and fight for their country.”

    The visit was documented in a video and images posted today to the Department of Defense page on X. With swelling music, it showed smiling service members listening intently to the brothers. It also showed the duo meeting with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

    They didn’t even get the phrase right. It’s live, fight, and die. The final thing is the most morbid, most final, most consequential of the three and thus is carrying a lot of weight.

    Reordering it deflates the tone, and shows yet another way that they’re all just role playing.

    Yeah the Paul speech was pretty heartless. It's like someone reading off random Fortune cookies

    This is just a stupid distraction for the war in Iran.
