      I don’t think America counts as an experiment anymore. I have heard the average empire last 250 years, so they should be about over any day now.

      Wtf is with this american “experiment” language? Have people always been saying that? The first time I heard it was when Joe was yielding the presidency to Trump and then it just hasn’t stopped.

        America has some weird shit going on compared to other empires in history. I think the term probably started as a cope when Britain decided to stop pursuing retaining it as a colony, but that’s just speculation on my part. It’s not a dog whistle related to Joe Almighty Forgetter of Spaghetti or anyone, I promise

    He was a yuge trump supporter though and wasn’t above using his fame to promote him.

    At least it’s one less propaganda outlet.

      Terry Gene Bollea died yesterday. Hulk Hogan died in 2007 when he ousted himself as an unrepented racist, but Hulkamania will never die as it will live on in the hearts of all the not-so-little-anymore Hulkamaniacs that continue to say their prayers and eat their vitamins.
