    Have any of you seen The Dark Crystal?

    If you have, remember the Skeksis? Old, decrepit, decaying things wearing puffed up clothing. Underneath they look like miserable plucked carrion birds.

    The emperor, lying on his deathbed, used his last breath to proclaim “I am still Emperor!”

    Yeah…

      He looks like an 82 year old, the problem is not how they look, is how American society decides to put people in power that should be sitting at home with a warm blanket over their knees.

        I wholeheartedly agree, the retirement age in the US should apply across the board and include political positions as well.

        They’re cucks. Every last one of them. They’ll lie and say he could beat them up because they’d do anything to be in daddy’s favor even though he doesn’t know they exist.

          There is a reason they recruit from the church. Their personalities crave someone or something (god or trump) to rule over them and tell them how to live. They can not think for themselves, they can not handle blame, their leader will save them.

            Yeah I’ve been saying it for years.

            Religion primes the pump for them. They’ve got a massive group of people who they know are already more than willing to completely forgo rational thought and critical thinking.

      Lmao is this real?

      The man’s 80 years old… unless you are in very poor health this shouldn’t really be a question for you.

      I guess tactically it might be more difficult for republicans since it would be hard to win while deepthroating his boots, and they don’t seem willing to do that for any reason. So maybe that’s why they don’t think they can win.

        What are you talking about? Every picture I see on Facebook shows Trump as a massive muscular man often smoking a cigar with a bald eagle perched on his shoulder!

          Have you seen Trump? I guess maybe draw on account of failure to enter the ring by both sides should be an option.

        The problem comes when the secret service agents tackle you. That’s when it gets more difficult.

          I would say that doesn’t follow the spirit of the question, since it says between you and Trump, nobody else.

      Do I get to bring any weapons?

      Not that I’d need them, but it would be more fun, and my hands wouldn’t end up stained orange.

      That is amazing, from the 1st term I didn’t think the president could beat nancy pelosi in a fight, let alone me. It would be like jabba the hut getting choked out with pelosi. I hate pelosi just making a point a frail old woman could take him.

      These republicans, wow. Huh.

      I work in a place where there are quite a bit of older folks, and there were really classy looking folks well in their 90’s.

      Like, in modern world with that amount of power and wealth it’s absolutely a choice to look this shit in one’s 80’s.

        I absolutely do not deny that many elders can look phenomenal, this is just the perfect stereotypical image for me:

        the pants pulled up way too high, looking aloof about everything around him, looking both over- and under-nourished at the same time, the hunchback of notre dame coming from the side

        It’s just such a spectacle.

    I thought peak masculinity in 2026 was UFC fighter Josh Hokit under The Claw in front of the White House disparaging Michelle Obama.

    It is the exertion of force, against the meek, in the most grotesque manner possible.

    My own personal manhood remains renounced.

      nah, we know better in 2026, get with the times: peak masculinity is femboyism
