I feel like we're in a post-onion era. It's just not funny when reality is more ridiculous.

or the onion stopped being clever

This isn't even an onion article

I'm pretty sure I've laughed at their headlines this week. They haven't lost their touch.

He has a face like a wrecked 18 wheeler. Idk, that's just the vibe I get from this thumbnail.

Like a lump of mashed potatoes that fell on the floor and rolled through a pile of barber hair.

Don’t forget the eyeliner.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

He is wearing eyeliner! I was wondering what was going on with his eyes but I couldn’t figure it out…and I’m a woman who used to wear eyeliner every day lol. Thanks for pointing it out…mystery solved!

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

I've heard speculation that it's tattooed on because every photo has him wearing it.

If he's putting it on all day every single day that's some serious discipline.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

To be clear, I don’t care if men in general wear eyeliner, but he doesn’t do a good job of it. He should be made fun of not for the fact he wears it, but the fact he wears it poorly. It’s so distracting.

I do have a problem with men who are against other people being their genuine selves trying to change their image. It’s hypocritical. People in general wearing makeup? Go for it.

Yes! Agreed! I wasn’t trying to insinuate that there was an inherent problem with men and makeup, just that he’s not good at it and he’s regularly on national television trying to convince people to like him.

And even that’s okay - we all start somewhere. But at his level, I would assume he could afford to have professional help (I mean, come on - look at Trump…that spray tan of a face must take hours to achieve the proper shade of orange). I suspect he may be too embarrassed to ask, and that’s a problem on society as a whole, but his party and people like him are the ones continuing to perpetuate it.

I think he looks like a glazed doughnut that got dropped in the dirt.

Between Cheato and Cato, these guys are setting record for how many groups of people they can alienate before election
