You really, really, REALLY couldn't make this shit up

[Joe Guy]

Yep! Trump also said that black people identify with him because he has been indicted. He really knows how to impress minorities. He is a great communicator.

[eddieq]

Frankly, it doesn't seem to matter. His faithful cult will go through the

He didn't say that
He didn't mean it that way - you quoted him out of context
Yes, that's what he said and in that context, but he's done so much for everyone else we can overlook that
So what if he's racist, FJB
Yee Haw!

[Big RR]

TO set the record straight he also said he was indicted more times an Al Capone--what a thing to boast about.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Why not? She's still smarter than Marjorie Traitor Greene. (And the people who voted for her)

[Bicycle Bill]

I don't know how, but the GOP has apparently gotten their hands on my email (it might be because I responded to a poll/survey from Derrick Van Orden, my district rep in the House) and I've been getting spammed with ads for a pro-Trump shirt...   but not just ANY Trump shirt.   No, I am being asked to purchase and wear a shirt featuring this political putz in a pose reminiscent of Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone in 'The Godfather'.   And just in case you don't make the connection, it even SAYS 'The Don'' underneath the picture.

Seriously, with all the legal problems that Trump is facing these days, are the powers that be in the Republican National Committee that tone-deaf that they would put out merchandise that proudly and unapologetically depicts the former president as the head of an organized crime syndicate?

What would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you’re in the boat, and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there? By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately — you notice that? I watched some guys justifying it today: “Well they weren't really that angry, they bit off the young lady's leg because of the fact that they were not hungry, but they misunderstood who she was.” These people are crazy. He said, “There's no problem with sharks, they just didn't really understand a young woman swimming.” Now it really got decimated and other people do a lot of shark attacks. So I said, “So there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards. Or here: Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking? Water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted? Or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?” Because I will tell you — he didn’t know the answer. He said, “You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.” I said, “I think it’s a good question.” I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water. But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that.

I’ll take electrocution every single time.

Either way, please don't let us (or facts or logic or reality) stop you.

[BoSoxGal]

I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that.

So we can expect Trump 2.0 to order the wholesale slaughter of sharks off the coast of the USA?

Probably not, because they're great WHITE sharks.

I am sure the voters of Nevada were greatly impressed with the Trump's concern over their greatest problem--shark attacks while jaunting around the desert in an electric boat. Just one more example of the importance of local political issues.

Oh lookee there -- Biden looks like an Old Man!

Tucker Carlson makes bizarre claim that Pete Buttigieg ‘isn’t actually gay’

Speaking on his online show Tucker Carlson Today, the right-wing personality told comedian Ari Shaffir that he believes the transportation secretary is using his identity to gain political popularity.

Carlson, who launched his show after abruptly leaving Fox News last year, said he had spoken to one of his producers who called Buttigieg’s sexuality “bulls**t”.

“Do you remember Pete Buttigieg ran for president? He’s supposedly gay. I had one of my producers who’s gay, and he goes, ‘He’s not gay’,” Carlson, who has previously been criticised for spouting anti-trans rhetoric, claimed.

“I was like: ‘Are you serious? He goes, ‘No, that’s complete bulls**t’. My producer’s like, ’No, it’s totally a pose. He was dating women just a few years ago. That’s totally fake’. He’s not gay at all”.

Carlson has since insisted that his comments were not an attack on the LGBTQ+ community, saying: “It’s not about being against gays… I’m saying he’s not one.”

LGBTQ+ campaigners, however, have mocked his remarks, noting that he has targeted Buttigieg with the same odd claims before.

“[The] right wing will stop at nothing to try to gain relevancy, including spreading disinformation about LGBTQ+ people,” a GLAAD spokesperson told The Advocate.

“Carlson’s long history of baselessly attacking Buttigieg and his family is ridiculous, dangerous, and only serves to fan the flames of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and violence. No matter their network affiliations, media commentators must be held to a higher standard.”

Well if the unidentified producer of Tucker Carlson says it, it must be true.

[Joe Guy]

Someone I know who knows things told me that Tucker Carlson is actually a horse's ass.

It's a horse's ass posing to be a person called Tucker Carlson.

"There would be no such thing as Tucker Carlson if there weren't horse's asses," I was assured by someone.

[BoSoxGal]

I just received an urgent call from the union of horses asses, protesting vehemently against the disparaging comparison to a Tucker Carlson.

I apologize on behalf of someone who told me that Tucker Carlson is actually a horse's ass. I just asked him about it and he said that he was actually complimenting Tucker.

Pete's not gay but his husband is?
