i like presidents that don't get shot

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 62 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Most of all I like presidents that get shot and die

I just wanna stick both of my hands in his big wet gunshot wound and dig around.

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

A grazing wound isn't usually fatal, but I bet I could get it there.

popuko-finger Thanks, I visualized that. walter-breakdown

Yeah like you gotta commit to the bit at that stage

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 76 points 2 months ago (4 children)

And so it begins. The libs become the based dark humor posters, and the MAGAs become the "have you no decency sir" cringe posters.

Chuds: [homeless black man gets shot in the back] GOOD. You get what you deserve for being a CRIMINAL smuglord

Also Chuds: [someone makes in fun of the most powerful man in the world] Wow, first of all, how dare you?

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 50 points 2 months ago

It's a good bit to be a frothingfash and do the "have you no decency sir" routine

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 52 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Full body cringe at "Harrison Bergeron"

People are surprisingly indifferent though. We almost had a candidate get their head blown off on live tv and people are like "well, I can't say I'm surprised shrug-outta-hecks"

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

It's pretty funny

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

On some level, I hope cheeto-man is mad that people still talk about Reagan getting shot and he couldn't even stay at the top of the news cycle for an entire afternoon when it happened to him.

Mr. Bergsom,

I'm afraid I need some sort of identification before showing a photo of myself. Would you kindly post hog so I can verify your identity?

[–] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Funny story, one time a bunch of these people were mad at Jesse Farrar, host of Your Kickstarter Sucks, for tweeting out a joke about drowning young conservatives. One angered tweet replier posted a photo of his dog's penis and told Jesse something like "Suck my dog's dick you sicko!" However, others quickly pointed out that since the dog's penis was erect, the replier must have erotically stimulated his dog by hand to ensure that its penis would be prominent enough for the photo. Upon receiving too many of these bestiality accusations, the poster quickly deleted his post.

that's some corncobbin' if i ever seen it

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 33 points 2 months ago

lol it's not even making fun of Trump and this guy is rage-cry

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm feeling a strong Musk, Trump, Vance trifecta could really tank his numbers.

Hillbilly Elegy is the number 1 selling book currently

[–] impartial_fanboy@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bought by whom? Actual people or Super-PACs?

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I find it not to wild to think everyone keeps talking about the book the next VP wrote that was publicized when it first came out and now people want to read it, but sure Pacs also could be buying it.

[–] impartial_fanboy@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Books by politicians always have inflated sales, it's a (not so) backdoor way to influence them. This isn't a new thing. I'm not saying no one is buying it, just that it's a sort of meaningless statistic without more context.

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

The context I'm using it for is I don't think everyone hates JD Vance. I think most people know next to nothing about him. No one is going out to the polls to make sure he doesn't become the VP.

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

best selling books lists are known to be farcical circle jerks. Especially political nonfiction. You do a bunch of book tours with ghouls and a bunch of think tanks buy copies to artificially inflate the sales numbers, only to resell them or give them away at events, then pundit media gives you an extra boost for regular retail sales. I mean maybe some people are organically buying hillbilly elegy, but I wouldn't have ever heard of it if it weren't for the socdem podcasts like chapo cringing at it on air (which is its own form of free attention).

[–] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah but to be a number one book you have to sell like 200,000 copies max

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

That's an open invitation to pigpoop

Whaddaya know? Temu really is shopping like a billionaire!
