Sadly the account is already suspended.

I thought Twitter was all about freeze peach.

Not only that but I thought comedy was explicitly ok as well! It's so confusing, you have to ban so many accounts before you get free speech apparently.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago

🥶🍑!
But no, that peach has been thoroughly thawed.

And about impregnating Taylor

Eh wasn't this one like over a year ago?

[–] MimicJar 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh you're right. I saw the 9/11 and missed the year, 2022.

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

I also failed to look at the year, I went by the fact that I'd seen it long ago lol

Verified, so that’s clearly him. Ask him why his dad was in Dallas when JFK was shot.

Its true. He claims he was "somewhere in Texas" during the assassination. Its one of those events where everybody remembers where they were when they heard the news, but he does not.

[–] jaybone 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait, they’re saying George HW Bush was involved in JFKs assassination now?

[–] Fedizen 7 points 3 months ago

Its one of the dangling threads from around that time. Likely the truth is fully lost to history

I was told by a highly trustworthy source that it was, in fact, Ted Cruz's dad.

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

Yes, it was.

BUT THERE'S A TWIST

The first bit of pay to win verification and impersonation was the most hilarious part of Elon’s Twitter.

Deleted my account after that.

We should listen to George W Bushs

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He finally threw his shoe into the ring.

"The decision of one man, to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean, of Ukraine. Iraq too. Anyway...[I'm] 75." – George W. Bush

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

He definitely didn't say "Iraq too". I've heard the clip and seen the video. He said something like "heh, Iraq..." And continues on. As much as people want to make this slip up into some full blown admission of guilt it's simply not what happened. The most I'm willing to accept is that it was a Freudian slip.

Edit: After re listening to the clip, I can see why people say he says "Iraq too," it's not as clear cut as I remember. Given the way he jokes about his age afterwards I wouldn't see it as a confession though, worst case just a joke in poor taste about a slip of the tongue.

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

Ah, yeah that does make a big difference, and it also makes a lot more sense.

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

And here's another beauty

"That's what I mean. There— it's— you know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror." – George W. Bush

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

You can't get fooled again.

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

Thanks for this pearl

I guess this is one thing social media is good for: exposing narcissists to the public as what they are.
