I’m discovering levels of brown nosing I’d never have thought to exist.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

~brown noser~ Attention whore.

Well he said he was “proudly” being arrested so his followers will jump right off that bridge after him. It’s a remarkable thing to watch.

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Whore noser

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 2 years ago

Their nose will be so brown they will start hating it for... reasons

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 147 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is this MAGA-world’s version of the crucifixion now? “Our lord and savior Trump was booked, photographed, and released on bond for our sins.”

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 42 points 2 years ago

"No, I'VE been arrested!"

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

I’m cracking up

[–] keeb420@kbin.social 112 points 2 years ago (2 children)

“I’m not…for the time being, but I stand with them! They are coming for all of us, eventually."

Rofl yeah when you are part of a conspiracy to commit a coup you deserve to be rounded up and jailed til trial.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago

They're coming for all of us! No shit, you committed crimes, people tend to get got for those

[–] remotedev@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago

Trump will surely pay her bail for being so loyal

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 100 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I already knew it was a cult, but wow, it really is a cult

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

When do they get to the part where the men in the cult are snipping off their own nuts and buying black Nikes? My fear is that this cult won't direct their weird tendencies at themselves, but instead, others.

“Lmao, the Onion really is on a roll these days!

…oh for fuck’s sake”

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Honestly I feel bad for the onion, our society took their jobs from them. We went full r-tard. You never go full r-tard.

(It's a movie quote, please don't crucify me lol)

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

We went full Linus. Never go full Linus

[–] S_204@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

You can say retard on the internet. It's okay. It's a word that clearly represents the reality you're referencing.

[–] demlet@lemmy.world 72 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I would feel so owned if other conspirators did this too.

[–] MinusPi@pawb.social 25 points 2 years ago

Yeah! Maybe they could pair it with their hypothetical crimes for added immersion too!

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How do we get Trump to literally smear himself in feces just so his followers will do it too? (Although I wager many of them are way ahead of him there already.)

[–] demlet@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I thought that's how he gets that orange color.

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 51 points 2 years ago

What a fucking dork.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Cult is as cult does.

[–] QubaXR@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago

Aww shit, is this now going to be a thing?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Its like when your kid picks up a banana and starts dialing.

[–] nyoooom@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Even the kid does it sarcastically

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Book a doop a doop!

[–] Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

Yeah this seems like a sane and reasonable reaction. 0.o

[–] TwoGems@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

She's cringe

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Simp-cuck bootlicker. Pathetic.

Edit: holy shit, she’s made of play-dough.

Jan. 6 Rally Organizer Created Her Own Mugshot Because She Felt Left Out

....wait....what?! 😦

[–] MonsieurHedge@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was gonna say "wow, we're reaching new levels of pathetic", but this is actually a pretty common low to sink to, when you think about it. Still funny, though, which I think really speaks to the immortality of watching someone debase themselves for grade-A Loser Clout.

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Isn’t using that logo a crime? Like… pretending to be a cop, or interfering in an investigation or something?

[–] Jordan117@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Imagine being arrested for making a fake mugshot for clout.

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Do you think she’ll be crying in the real one?

[–] Rottcodd@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago

She looks like she just stopped growing up at about 14, and all she's done since then is age. Poorly.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Is there anyone in law enforcement that can make this deplorable feel included?

[–] Mewtwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago

Peak self victimization.

[–] fidodo@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

If she turns herself in I'm sure she has evidence of some crimes she committed

[–] Alto@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

She definitely defends Paula Deen with "it was a different time"

[–] mupomo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

One of us! One of us!

[–] TwoGems@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

She's cringe there I edited my comment
