The guy once stated that he doesn’t really feel his personality has changed since the first grade. This was probably one of his more honest statements.
It’s not effort or work you are seeing. It’s a child’s guile wrapped in an adult’s body.
Camacho definitely understood there was a problem, sought after someone much smarter to help solve it. Can't say any politician today would be humbled to do something like that.
It's been said many times, but to say it a different way: the government and Camacho in Idiocracy were much much better, since they immediately elevated the smartest person they could find to a cabinet-level post and accepted help rather than just lied about the problem.
Fucking infuriating movie. Not because it's bad, but because it is so fucking spot on about every single political issue in USA (and to a lesser extend, but still fitting, the rest of the world). I know it's a metaphor for climate change, but every single political issue in USA is dealt with just as moronically as climate change.
What a competent man trump is. He'll rape your daughter and then endorse Paul in the same day. I think trump
should enter the ring against Anthony Joshua just like Paul did and every non-abusing father should get a front row seat.
Carrot Top and Andy Dick have declined senior posts in the administration for fear of damaging their serious reputation. Rob Snyder is on the fence. Scott Baio is actually a liability at this point.
I don't really know the reason why 35 specifically. It's been that way since the Constitution was written. Maybe they felt anyone under 35 couldn't have had enough life experience to properly carry out the duties of office? As for why no max age limit, no clue there either
There are many countries where that is the case for various political offices... the two houses of Congress in the US also have (somewhat lower) age requirements.
There's not necessarily anything wrong with electing people without political experience. If everyone didn't have an equal shot we might as well be a monarchy. The problem is we never elect anyone good.
There’s not necessarily anything wrong with electing people without political experience.
I'm sorry - what? Of course there is. It's a job that affects the lives of thousands to millions. Having experience with the systems, the laws, and seeing the results of legislation and the like is critical to being able to govern and legislate effectively.
Electing a legislator is not electing a dictator. The system was designed to give people with good ideas a chance to lead, not just professional politicians. Your attitude is borderline elitist and leads to the "ok it's my turn now" phenominon that's made the Democrats so ineffective in the last couple of decades. The only time anyone's gotten excited for them in recent memory was Obama, who had been a politician for a whole 4 years before becoming president.
And how does one typically get good enough at a job to "make good decisions"?
Not being so power hungry as to choose politics as a career thereby losing touch with the rest of society is a damn good start
And how would you know if they would "make good decisions" in that job?
Idk maybe they could spend a few months telling us their ideas, and then the people could go and pick the candidate they like the most, like some sort of election

Odd that the Paul brothers like hanging out with child fuckers, traffickers and molesters amongst other people with the Republican Party.

Yeah, I mean it was most overtly a commentary on climate change, but to a great extent it really was about the problems with current politics.

Jake Paul will be 35 in 2032, which i guess means he could run for president that year. Mr. Beast won't be able to run till 2036.
Both of these are nightmare options
