“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.
“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.
“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”
“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”
“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.
The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.
Going to the midwest sounds like going to the zoo.
Lived in Iowa for a few years, nothing but idiots.
I know some very smart people from Iowa. They left.
So many heads up so many asses.
I hope they rip each other apart trying to justify their own ignorance and his madness.
Unfortunately their disproportionately overvalued federal representation and votes due to the electoral college they are dragging the rest of us down with them
Finishing lunch with two friends at a diner in Osage, Dixie Bowman, 88, a retired welder, said she liked what Trump was doing. Her two friends, when asked, said they preferred not to speak of it.
Dixie Bowman: Trump is “a very kind, very generous person”
Here, let me translate for you:
Dixie Bowman, 88, a retired welder, said she liked what Trump was doing.
“I like how he’s getting rid of all the brown people.”
Dixie Bowman: Trump is “a very kind, very generous person”
“He’s doing things I like. That means he’s a good person. Good people are kind and generous.”
It’s the same concept as when Nazis do Nazi things and claim they’re not Nazis. Nazi = bad, and they’re not bad, so they’re not Nazis.
Yeah. Ego, in the sense of the story about yourself that you tell yourself, is an extremely potent concept. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people get called out on their extremely shitty and deliberate choices and react with “I won’t take this, this isn’t fair, I’m a good person.” They actually believe that they are a good person, and good people don’t do bad things, so they’re being misunderstood and unfairly attacked. When the mirror is held up that attacks that narrative about themselves, it’s like an actual psychic pain, and people react almost like they’ve been physically attacked.
They say welding fumes can cause neurological damage…
Eventually one of these rallies will turn into that church scene from Kingsman
I only hope someone is there to play freebird on a boombox
I don’t feel bad for anyone that voted for trump. Nothing he is doing is a surprise. So far it has been everything he said he wanted to do. Fucking morons got exactly what they voted for.
I want them to see the error of their ways. No forgiveness without change, but there is no change without the possibility of forgiveness.
The US is overdue for balkanization. I think the USA will split some time before 2060.
Not fully, but in practice to benefit from no trade barriers. And it’ll be done by 2040.
I think what we’ll get is no more singular head of state because the Unitary Executive model is a flawed premise that highlights the fragility of having only one person as the chief executive. It’s a poison pill. Suggesting it is to suggest inevitable death of the Republic.
What we’ll end up with our scaled up Switzerland. An Executive Council of 5/7/9 regionally elected members, with a rotation of who is the ceremonial head of state for functions. I like 7, with more of the East Coast and Midwest consolidated.
But whew…the constitution will need a major overhaul for that to work.
Unitary executive model is a bullshit right wing theory that ignores the entire basis of how our system was designed.
The problem is that is much worse than bullshit, it’s a death sentence.
Heavens to Betsy!
I’d PPV Nana Slap Fight Championships.
Imagine believing that the best days of the US are ahead of you…
I’m sure improvements will be made, but the United States is dying, thanks in large part due to the cancer that’s rightwing propaganda networks
Honestly, I don’t want the United states to be a thing anymore. It is time for the nation to break up, so that people can choose what sort of government they want to live in. In my case, I would like something modeled after European socialism. I am sick of Fascist America dragging down my state with its evil and stupidity.
Uncapping the House would go a long way towards rebalancing.
The problem with that plan is that you get an outwardly fascist neighbor with no guardrails at all. Yes it will burn itself out eventually but before that it’s going to be just as much of a problem as when it was states.
Better to fight an enemy that is outside, rather than a foe within. We also don’t have sturdy guardrails - just ask federal employees, and the American citizens who have been trafficked to Honduras.
But the foes would always be within. This isn’t just red vs blue, it’s rural vs urban. Oregon goes Blue every time, but you drive 30 minutes out of the city and it’s Trump Central.
Good luck with that. Honestly.
That about sums it up. There are no obviously good options for the situation, so we are all left to gamble on a guess and a prayer that things work out.
Not sure what you mean by European socialism, but you do NOT want the socialism that was attempted in eastern European countries.
my brother in christ, all western european countries are socialist welfare states with a capitalistic market. Media wants you to believe that, what we have is communism, but socialism is so far off Marxism / Communism, as Turbo-capitalism is off of socialism. Beat the red scare and don’t carry on their dumb talking points. Socialism is the way to go
If I ever get diagnosed with a terminal disease. I know what I’m doing before I go out.
“Everyone that disagrees with me is a Democrat”
“Everrything is woke”.
Not only that, but Democrats by default do not matter and shouldn’t be considered at all.
The leopard’s are gonna be obese by the summer.
The leopards are already obese. I suspect by summer they’ll die by cardiovascular diseases.
Magas can do one thing right, even saving the leopards is too hard for them
He had tattoos on his body? I keep mine in a drawer in the shed.
Ok, hear me out.
David Beckham has tattoos on his body AND is an immigrant. Therefore he must be a part of the ms13 gang and should be deported. It’s the only thing that makes sense!!!I’ve also heard Dolly Parton has tattoos…
They stopped liking Dolly Parton after they found out that she’s gives books to kids.
She also sang a song about getting the COVID vaccine iirc.
Nobody better fuck with my girl Dolly. That’s how you get the metalheads all riled up.
How many cops have gang tattoos in 'murica? The internet tells me a good deal of them do.
Yes, they often take the form of shields, seven pointed stars, and Punisher skulls. These things identify them as street-roaming gang bangers and armed thugs.
I’ve also heard Dolly Parton has tattoos…
Tattoos or ta-tas?
Why not both?
I heard Beckham was part of Bend de Aragua
You’d think farmers at least would understand the relationship between what you sow and what you reap.
They never have to think about because they use migrant labor
