~~Come on. We're better than that.~~

Welcome to the rice fields motherfucker. Sick of MAGA.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 63 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Fuck MAGA right in its weird pussy™️

[–] Cronization@lemmy.world 47 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I wouldn't recommend that. You'd probably catch something weird.

[–] cdf12345@lemm.ee 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Careful, that’s how you get MTG

Remember the days when Sarah Palin was the weird one?

It should be noted that they don’t specify what MAGA would be getting fucked with. That leaves open the option for many dramatically unpleasant objects.

[–] digredior@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Like a glowing iron rod perhaps?

[–] don@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What’s causing it to glow? Intense heat, or an immense amount of ionizing radiation?

[Scanning comment for edits. No edits found.]

While they don’t openly endorse it, they don’t outright forbid it, either. You should be good to go.

Dude. You never... ever... fuck crazy.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 38 points 10 months ago

I've always hated that the Dems will worry about decorum while Republicans are constantly ignoring it. Glad they're growing some balls and calling these assholes out

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

I miss papa franku

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 93 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He’s telling it like it is

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 22 points 10 months ago
[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 84 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Except he didn’t call Vance a couch fucker.

He just said if he could get off the couch, he’d debate be happy to debate him.

Don’t strip walz of the glorious subtleties.

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.org 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, the "you see what I did there" was not subtle but pretty great

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He was calling him lazy.

We all saw it.

That’s what I’m telling my parents and you will not ruin it.

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago

Hehe, alright

[–] Mishmash2000@lemmy.nz 65 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (5 children)

He wouldn't have to if his opponents weren't a self confessed couch molester and an ex President who is a 34 times convicted felon?! Now only one of these is literally true, but which one?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: re-attached missing limb

EDIT: what's going on?! I have my forearm back but I've lost BOTH upper arms?!

EDIT: I have succesfully re-attached all limbs but now I'm trapped in this grey box?!

EDIT: I was actually nervous to make one more edit, but I'm pleased to announce that the procedure was a complete success! All limbs have been restored and the patient is recovering well!

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Hey, did you know there's a special federal law that kicks in when you have 34 felonies? Yea just tell all your conservative ~~friends~~ acquaintances to Google "Trump Rule 34"

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hey! We’re name buddies!

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 15 points 10 months ago

That's kinda beautiful.

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH 13 points 10 months ago

It Could Happen Here did a rule 34 Trump episode.

The couch thing is a myth, but it's still funny to propagate it anyway.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

I believe the couch.

[–] NotAnotherLemmyUser@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Here, you dropped this \ To prevent anymore lost limbs throughout the fediverse, correctly escape the arms and shoulders by typing the shrug as

¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

Edit: Fixed missing arms as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Mishmash2000@lemmy.nz 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Cheers! I wondered where that went??! I'll get it re-attached asap!

[–] NotAnotherLemmyUser@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Cheers! I just realized that I also typed it wrong initially so that you lost other limbs. I edited the other comment with the correction.

I caught the “if he can get off the couch” joke, but did he actually use the words “couch fucker”?

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 114 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

No, and I kind of hate these recent memes for that reason. His joke was a lot more subtle and could as easily be about the fact that the original meme caught on because these guys are so weird, but it wasn't an outright accusation, and this meme has "couch fucker" in actual quotes, like he actually said that. It would be moronic of Walz to outright call Vance a couch fucker and now there is this meme floating around making it look like he did.

I hate to be a downer but this is toxic.

Edit: to the point where I would seriously question the true intent of the meme.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm with you on this one. This sort of thing robs him of the wholesomeness of his persona with a genuine untruth. It's a big turnoff for some people.

No, just that. I love the "see what I did there?"

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 32 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I hope SNL get Steve Martin to play him.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 32 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think I saw that Steve Martin said no.

How about Al Franken?

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 10 months ago

That’s a great idea. I’ll see what I can do to make it happen.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Unfortunately he declined the role, they did offer it. I agree it would've been a good casting.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I was thinking John C Reiley since Martin won't do it

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago

I like him because he speaks his mind and tells it like it is.

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

My god we needed this.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

You mean he called his couch fucking and felony convicted adversaries those horrible names?

[–] afivedaystorm@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Love it. Walz is great.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Now we just need to see ads with this same energy

I'm already seeing a "border czar" one and it gets my piss to a boil because it's absolutely not true

Except with trumps and vances track record, there is facts; not lies and blatant conjecture.

The time for going high when they go low is over with

"You know why Trump and Vance are....weird? Well..." The shit writes itself
