Ugh why are the right so bad at satire? It's always the same lame jokes over and over. Plus Mysafespace? Are we living in the mid 2000s? This joke might have been kinda funny 20+ years ago but it just shows how disconnected they are. Do better Whitehouse.gov. If you're going to make fun of half the country at least put some thought into it.

Because the people they are pandering to are simple-minded. Trump loves the "poorly educated" for a reason. It's low effort to impress them.

The administration is trying to appeal the SNAP ruling to fully fund it again.. Never fear, hunger will wake up those "poorly educated" he loves so much, soon enough.

I really don’t think so. A lifetime of fox news is a hell of a sunk cost. They’ll hang on until the Dems finally fix everything so they can do it all again.

God what a fucking embarrassment.

I keep thinking we've hit peak embarrassment, and then Trump proves me wrong.

It’s called a century of humiliation for a reason

I’m amused, appalled, disappointed, confused, and unsurprised all at the same time. This may have broken my brain for the next few minutes.

The two things I want to point out are the TrumpRX ad, what a lack of any semblance of class, and one of the favorite movies being Ghostbusters(2016) (I missed the 2016 when I read it the first time and was more confused).

I can't believe this is real

Looks like a website from 90's can these dumb fucks not hire a fucking coder. Shit I am not that great but could do better then this?

[–] FilthyHands@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It is a fairly accurate parody of myspace.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The question is why are they parodying MySpace in 2025

Because they're like 105 and think Tom is the coolest motherfucker they're friends with.

Tom probably is the coolest motherfucker they're friends with. He made a fun website that made him moderately wealthy, he was happy with that and disappeared to enjoy his small fortune like a well adjusted human being and not a sociopathic dragon that treats accumulation of wealth like a video game high score. Tom's a pretty cool motherfucker.

Look I'm all for fun 90's website designs, but this one isn't fun or even good, it's just sad.
