In the red corner, hailing from Colorado and standing at five foot six, louder than a 12-gauge, dumber than a whole box of Facebook marketplace rifle suppressors masquerading as fuel filters; she’ll knock your socks off just so her husband can sniff your feet (but only if you’re under 16); the undeniably uneducated; universally unloved… Lauren “Ppppppplaaaaan B” Booooooooooebert.

In the other red corner, all the way from god-knows-where-and-we-wish-she’d-go-back-already; she’s got on more makeup than a dumpster full of Sephora customer returns; she’s been evicted from every trailer park in the greater Dalton metro area; the immortal god-Queen of the international association of Karens; Marjorie Taylor “White Trash Barbie” Grrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeen!

Which one is most likely to use a steel chair first? And can this please be a Hell in a Cell match

[–] UnforgettableName@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My money is on Marge for the first chair strike. Boebert looks like a a hair puller.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

For some reason I see her in Ultimate Warrior makeup screaming nonsense about launching a rocket to destroy the Jewish space lasers. I’m tempted to call Boebert Shawn Michaels but she’s not in the same galaxy of talent or ability in anything as HBK in the ring

The Green-Boebert match is sponsored by Monster Energy Drinks, Fan Duel, and Crypto /s

Brought to you by Carl's Jr. Home of the EXTRA BIGASS FRIES!!

Unfortunately, there's a whole sub-section of Republican men who would love nothing more than to see that. And it would make them support them even more.

[–] MostlyBirds@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not a republican, but I staunchly support anything that potentially ends with christian nationalists putting each other in the hospital. Let them fight.

[–] thepianistfroggollum@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, they were talking about people who would be turned on by the cat fight.

[–] Gooseface@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More time spent beating off at work is less time spent legislating. Still cool.

That's why I was 100% fine with Trump playing as much golf as possible while president.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We need a reboot of celebrity death match, now more than ever.

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

But this time, make it live action rather than claymation.

[–] DigitalWanderer@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

we keeping on trucking to the idiocracy timeline, i see.

[–] paper_clip@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

To note, President Comacho was far, far kinder, wiser and more humble than any MAGA politician.

Idiocracy was a documentary from the future

I mean, Marge would win no question. She's built like a brick shit house.

[–] literallyacat@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Hard agree. She got a Neanderthal brow and club-hefting arms. Plus, meth strength.

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

With a personality to match

[–] Thatpilotguy89@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Will this be before or after the Musk Zuck fight?

Which one is the main event?

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That one got cancelled because Elron's mommy said he couldn't.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What’re the odds one of them pulls a gun mid fight?

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boebert shoots like a Star Wars Stromtrooper and can't hot the broadside of a barn.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I don’t think she’ll kill Greene, but I do think she might hit a colleague or at the very least get extremely arrested.

[–] stephfinitely@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I mean YouTubers are boxing each other so why not politicians.

[–] HelixDab@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think we should give them both Bowie knives and tell them to go at it, and may the most reprehensible person lose/win.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm going to add that they need to be tied together a la Smooth Criminal.

[–] ZombieZookeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Poison daggers, a la Dune.

[–] ZombieZookeeper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

(popcorn crunching noises)

[–] multicolorKnight@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

One can only hope for a long and brutal fight, much damage. Mutual annihilation would be great. Pass the popcorn.

[–] Auduras@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Celebrity death match!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They're going to have to start charging pay-per-view on C-Span.

[–] KlugeMaster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Making popcorn...

[–] Kagami@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Let them fight~ Let them fight~

[–] FluffyCrunchy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ding Dong vs Ho Ho.
