The leopards, they're getting bigger 🐆

Hilarious when the hate they spread comes back to their doorstep. Also completely predictable.

DEI Wife because nobody else would have him? 🤔

There is no surprise to this.

Okay, so this is a joke post. It is not sincere. It is sarcasm.

This is sarcasm.

Okay, get this shit. Imagine convincing the alt-right to vote for Biden with the following (horrible and presented here only for amusement) argument:

"You can't vote for Trump/Vance because Vance married an immigrant and is attempting to replace the proud tradition of a white first family (I know, I know, but it's a joke, please chill).

"You have to vote for Biden/Harris because Harris at least married a white man (again, this is a silly and racist thing to argue)."

I feel like that may work since people who are alt-right racist garbage typically cannot think their way out of a white paper bag.

All joking aside, you'd convince a non zero number of those morons with that argument. Actually if you spewed that shit from a pulpit you'd become a leader in the maga sphere and probably pull in some $ of those idiots.

Are you suggesting I vote for a WOMAN? /s

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

But, the TONE! I thought the right was all about peace and love and unity now. Doesn't matter what someone's race is and all that?

This is tragic. And funny. Nah, not funny. Yeah, it is. But also tragic. But funny also. Nah. Yeah.

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

It's 100% expected behavior from the right. Things are wrong and immoral until they happen to you personally. They don't like minorities, but Vance doesn't have a problem with his wife being a minority. Just like abortion is wrong until your child gets pregnant...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

until your child gets pregnant...

until your ~~child~~ mistress gets pregnant...

There, I fixed it for you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You didn't need to strike out "child".

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

It's disgusting but also schadenfreude

I wonder how long non-white, non-christian, non-striaght people will realize that they are in the hate group lead by trump, a person that has Hitler like attributes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So it was never about illegal immigrants? I'm shocked, shocked!

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

lol. Idiot.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Back up, isn't the Furher married to an immigrant who used chain migration to nationalize her parents? She/they get a pass... and are white. So this really is racism in action. Good luck, folks. And to you racists, die.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

She had an anchor baby too. The hypocrisy of MAGA knows no bounds.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No no no see she was brought in with the Einstein visa, she's a genius in action! (/s)

Always a good time for this, Fox on Michelle Obama versus Melania Trump Go to 1 minute for clothing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Go sleep in the bed you made 👍

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Womp womp. Roll around with pigs, get covered in shit.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

In the context of interactions with the rest of society, fascists need to be discriminated against on the sole basis that they’re fascists.

But if the fascists are going to discriminate against other fascists based on race or whatever, I’m not gonna stop them. By all means, tear yourselves apart.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Racists gonna racist, then go hump their cousins

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

When you're so worried about how miscegenated other white people are that you have to keep it in the family to be sure.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know it is not funny, but I had to llaugh.

How can they ask racists to vote for them and not expect racists to be racists?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

It’s legit funny. These assholes deserve to suffer.

[–] [email protected] 87 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm sorry, I feel bad for it all, and her having to deal with that, I really do, but at the same time it's funny as shit. What did she think was going to happen when she associated herself with these people?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

I have ZERO sympathy. She CHOSE this and is continuing to stay. She’s probably a Trump heart attack away from being the First Lady and doesn’t exactly have to wonder where her next meal is coming from.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago

She never expected the leopard would eat her face.
