Bruh, I watched the movies recently, and this is literally my first throught
The Running Man.
It'll be funny and poetic until we all get to watch a contestant die for the first time during a prime time live event .... and the crowd roars and the ratings go through the roof as everyone realizes ... the gladiatorial games to the death have returned .... and this time we can stream it!!!!
Trumpflix, but that show is pay per view with the premium plus $199 a month plan. $399 pay per view of course.
The other show available is a live feed of the torture at gitmo and El Salvador
I'd pirate it and not watch it just on principle
We have the Millionaire CTE Scramble already.
You know. Football. Handegg.
Ew, but yes.
Ew.
May the odds be ever in your favor...
What the actual...
We need to DEPORT OUR IMMIGRANTS! UNLESS they Win at a TV Show THEN we can Let them Stay and I see NOTHING Wrong with That! Or they're WHITE!
-Literally EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN VOTER!
That is not true. Any immigrants that can spend $5 million are free to buy a fresh, hot, and newly minted social security card!
But that doesn’t buy you tolerance in the society. That’s extra on a subscription basis
The more I watch Andor, the more I feel like a need a gun.
Coincidence, really.
I literally did a triple-take thinking I ate the onion and then realized it's not fake. Holy SHIT. Time for the 2A.
And they called me a fool for having Hunger Games on my bingo card.
Executions will be televised one day.
I know that I will have grim satisfaction while watching.
This article sounds like bs.
"According to the Daily Mail..."
My bs senses are tingling on this one, too. I think I'll be watching for confirmation from elsewhere before I give this much energy.
Edit: it's insane that it's even remotely believable, though. And it is believable. Like, easily believable.
those five words from an unknown third-party source should be enough to raise flags, i hope..
The Daily Mail is nit an unknown source. They are the most awful British tabloid. I give them negative trust.
The Daily Mail is nit an unknown source.
lol 'nit' indeed :P
Then they deport the winner anyway, because citizenship doesn't matter to Trump.
There are really people out there who support this shit who think they deserve to be regarded as good people just because they're friendly on an interpersonal level.
That's all they really know anyways, reality TV. Bit of a misnomer really.
So MAGA wants to take away birthright citizenship and institute game show winner citizenship. This is the same government we're relying on to do the right thing in a nuclear confrontation.
I am more frightened of the Trump Regime than Stalin's in this regard. Both are evil, but one completely is completely void of sanity.
It is my hope that foreign governments are taking actions to take away the nuclear button from Trump. Maybe a deal with Qatar to activate the self-destruct if Trump attempts to give the order for a nuclear dawn?

Of course the admin supports dehumanizing people for entertainment. How about reducing prices on something. Like bread.
Rename country to Panem?
I mean, this is a clownshow, might as well go full Bread and Circus.
FOREIGNERS OUT! SCHLINGENSIEFS CONTAINER
Satirising reality TV shows, "Big Brother" especially, a dozen asylum seekers were surveilled by a multitude of cameras, could be fed and watched by passer-by's and two were thrown out of the country through web-voting. The way fascism looks in the 21st century: Bright. Sensational. Interactive. Funny - and frightening.
The odds of Mr. Beast being the ringleader for this particular circus is high.
20th century fascism was characterized by a thick layer of self importance and respectability to hide a vulgar core.
21st century fascism is just vulgar through and through.
God damn, being true... I consider myself quite the imaginative and creative person, but these folks have me beat.
Still, props to these people - if they applied all this creativity and effort for good instead of evil, we'd already be living in an utopia, there wouldn't be hunger or poverty in the world, I dare say. Instead we're gliding down into dystopia.
these are people not entertainment
sigh
May the odds be ever in your favor.
I have the outline of a plot where Kristi Noem gets spit roasted by Mike Lee and Mike Johnson.
You mean like... Over a fire?

Scenes envisaged include one in San Francisco, where the immigrants are sent down a mine to collect the most gold
In Cape Canaveral, Florida, the hub of NASA, contestants would rush to build and launch a rocket.
In Hayward, Wisconsin, they'd struggle to keep their balance on logs.
I thought you were being facetious
Just adding some relevant facts. Not the onion.
Squick Game
This is like a really shitty version of The Running Man.
I miss when my country wasn't parodying itself
