He's gonna be Trump's VP, isn't he?

And just like that there's a plausible scenario where The Undertaker comes out of nowhere and saves Democracy by choke-slamming them both through a podium.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 37 points 7 months ago

I wouldn’t count on Taker for that, hes big on Trump, good ole Stone Cold might have a stunner or two left in him though

The past decade has shared too many similarities with a hell in the cell…

Republican Mayor Kane comes out, tombstones the undertaker and is declared the new secretary of state.

Yeah, I'm more-than-tired of having an ongoing circus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Coolidge

During his presidency, he restored public confidence in the White House after the many scandals of the Harding administration. 

As president, Coolidge's reputation as a quiet man continued. "The words of a President have an enormous weight," he would later write, "and ought not to be used indiscriminately." Coolidge was aware of his stiff reputation; indeed, he cultivated it. "I think the American people want a solemn ass as a President," he once told Ethel Barrymore, "and I think I will go along with them." Some historians suggest that Coolidge's image was created deliberately as a campaign tactic, while others believe his withdrawn and quiet behavior to be natural, deepening after the death of his son in 1924. Dorothy Parker, upon learning that Coolidge had died, reportedly remarked, "How can they tell?"

I'd kind of like things to look a bit more like that for a while.

Off-topic, but once a woman said to Silent Cal, "I bet I can make you say three words."

He replied, "you lose."
