I'm sure he expects exactly the same punishment for himself.
This is true Leopards Ate My Face territory.
Not quite lol Leopards Ate My Face is more Turkeys Voting for Christmas, where someone aligns with someone else in spite of the person they're aligning with clearly not having their interests at heart. Like the vast majority of Trump supporters, or LGBTQ hexbear users supporting Putin.
This is just plain hypocrisy, like "the only moral abortion is my abortion".
Turkeys Voting For Thanksgiving*
(Christmas isn't the turkey holiday, FYI. In fact, it's been a goose, historically.)
In other parts of the world "turkeys voting for Christmas" is a common saying.
Cursory search shows it's exclusively a UK idiom, to be accurate. So, "other part" singular being a small island where turkeys are not, nor have ever been, indigenous. That tracks.
That's right, the UK has peacocks in its trees instead of turkeys.
Henry VIII imported them, smartass.
As someone who's never eaten a goose in his life (though I would happily try it, those rude honking bastards), I've had turkey on Christmas Eve at relatives. Though it's often ham.
I hate it when turkey is ham. Stay in your lane, meat products!
Surely he's ideologically consistent
/s if anyone really needs that
Seems like a Perfect setup for a judge to sentence him with. It won't happen, but it should.
