This is the same guy that Republicans cheered because he called for the eradication of trans people.

He is a piece of shit, hence his popularity with other pieces of shit.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes. Newton's Turd Law.

Wait, if I, as a straight cis guy, find myself in the vicinity of a pride event what crime am I guilty of? In fact, what constitutes a pride event? My son is gay. Should everyone that attended his graduation be arrested? What if he had a rainbow on his hat?

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Should everyone that attended his graduation be arrested?

Only if you were proud of his accomplishments.

~~Straight~~ Gay to jail.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eventually having a gay son will be a crime in his eyes.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure "eventually" is right now. He believes people are gay because they're groomed to be.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There seems to be a pattern where the most outspoken anti-gay people are actually themselves in the closet. Should make a law that it's illegal to hide if you're gay, then just arrest anyone that wants to enforce it.

Show me what fascism looks like

Michael Knowles, of the conservative publication The Daily Wire

There it is.

Ok seriously, who the fuck are these chucklefucks that keep getting into the news cycle??

I keep hearing about a new “right wing pundit” every week, are they being made in a factory?

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty much. If you have few to no morals and don't mind risking getting punched in the face when out in public then you could be a right wing pundit.

Not gonna lie, it seems like a pretty easy racket if you have no morals.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe if these fascist ball sacks were always met with a volley of rotten vegetables every time they showed their disgusting faces they'd crawl back to the sewers where they belong.

[–] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

This one's been around a while. He's just more pathetic than some of the others.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

they're being cloned. contrary to popular belief, the bigotry is by design rather than an accidental mutation.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I wanna hit him in the face with a brick. We don't all get what we want.

[–] vivavideri@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It'd be a really good look for him, getting hit with a brick.

Frankly speaking I wanna do it with a sticky grenade thats been modified to just release a lot of liquid ass.

[–] dragonflyteaparty@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait, hold on. I didn't realize everyone at pride events were taking their tits out and giving hand jobs. When did that happen?

[–] Cabrio@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Gaslight. Obstruct. Project.

The institution got blind sided by family values fondler boebert and are behind the wave on their propaganda.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

What a piece of shit

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The side of free speech strikes again

[–] drunkenmonkie2@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do people listen to this cartoon rat looking motherfucker?

[–] PostmodernPythia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t insult Scabby like that. Cartoon rats are way better looking than this douche canoe.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 1 year ago

Sucking a dick in public is far more indecent than wearing leather, feathers, rainbows and lace. What a piece of shit.

[–] Dick_Justice@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The only thing they have are whataboutisms.

[–] who8mydamnoreos@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Why does this pervert care so much how people get off?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

would be a shame if his suit got covered in a bucket of toilet slop.

Isn't that official platform of the Republican party?
