LOL, go for it, spoiler-boy.

He'd have trouble spoiling meat sitting in the sun. He out-crazied MAGA, no one wants anything to do with him.

[–] grue 30 points 3 months ago

He out-crazied MAGA, no one wants anything to do with him.

I'm not yet convinced such a thing is possible.

[–] Everythingispenguins 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

No, his scamming was just second class, and we know how much the GOP feels about people being bad at scamming.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Great observation! MAGA likes to be blindfolded when they're being fucked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

And having class

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

He out-crazied MAGA

No, he fits perfectly within the MAGA crazy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Mad Margie would take issue with that statement.

[–] DeepThought42 42 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

If this weren't real life that it'd make a great premise for a comedy show.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I hate the guy, but he was hilarious.

Where did you get that baby, George? Whose baby was that?

Stupid autocorrect. I swear, it’s getting worse, correcting words that are spelled correctly. It’s driving me crazy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I went and disabled it. Still annoying but easier to see my mistakes thanks to the red squiggles.

[–] tills13 33 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This isn't what we meant when we asked for a three or more party system.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

If this is how we get ranked choice voting and more than 2 options… fuck it, I’ll take it!

[–] Everythingispenguins 8 points 3 months ago

But it is what he thought you said, and really that is all that matters to him.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hey it’s that one drag queen!

[–] jeffw 40 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Don’t be mean to drag queens! His defining feature is “criminal and scam artist”

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's such a shame that we are making fun of a WW2 veteran instead of providing him the mental help he needs

[–] jeffw 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Probably the trauma of losing his mother in 9/11 that really did him in

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

As a qualified doctor ans psychiatrist, you’d think he would have recognised the signs.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

True it’s not fair to the drag queens to be in the same group as this bozo

[–] meco03211 6 points 3 months ago

OP simply fell victim to autocorrect. He meant to say dead queen as he is in fact the late Queen Elizabeth.

[–] TheJims 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Being a criminal fraud and scam artist is what makes him appealing to maga republicans. Wearing pretty dresses and makeup makes him unacceptable to republicans.

[–] MataVatnik 4 points 3 months ago

They don't seem to care as long as he acts like a piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This guy may be one of the few people I'd trust the Republican party over when they start pointing accusationary fingers at each other claiming the other is a fraud and a lier.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I’d trust him to pull some hilarious stunt, like run down the main corridors of the Capitol building carrying a tiger cub, screaming, “NO COMMENT! NO COMMENT!” then run into an elevator, dodging shocked reporters, or something crazy-ass shit like that, lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You mean to tell me he didn't do that already?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

He did it with a human baby. Whose baby remains unknown.

[–] FuglyDuck 14 points 3 months ago

Is he growing out that neck beard to look the part?

[–] Rakonat 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I for one think we should support our three time hackeysack world champion who also invented biscuits and gravy.

[–] HootinNHollerin 1 points 3 months ago

Don’t forget world champion underwater basket weaver

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Watch him be the one that starts the electoral schism of the Republican party

[–] RunningInRVA 6 points 3 months ago

Isn’t he going to be too busy defending himself against the Feds? I’m pretty sure he will be in Federal pound me in the ass prison before long.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

So when the election results come in, we’ll get detailed, specific numbers on exactly how much people don’t like him. Cool.
