“Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” the spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Independent.

This is the official response. You'd best start believing in Idiocracy, you're in one.

Why do we allow these morons to make a mockery of society?

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

When I first saw Idiocracy when it was perhaps a year or three old, I thought it was stupid. I loved the premise but thought the movie was stupid and too exaggerated. That it would be funnier if it were less over the top.

I admit that I was wrong about it being exaggerated. But I was right that it would be funnier otherwise because it wouldn't have been so prescient.

Gotta love the Streisand effect on display. Wouldn't have known he smells if they hadn't "fired back."

[–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 88 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Are you sure about that? Because every picture I see of the seditious fuck makes him look like he smells of hamberder grease and dirty adult diapers.

[–] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apparently the smell is body odor and makeup....which makes sense

Melania always seemed to have a look on her face like someone just farted. I now know why.

[–] jonne 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would be hilarious if there was a whole bank of Melania photos where she's smiling from ear to ear when she's not around him.

He's an old fat guy with a poor diet, of course he smells.

I don't really care if he smells, but I think it's really funny that they care that somebody said it.

Ok, now I have to take a crack at it.

Pro-se-cute him all the way!

It's not hard to believe. He did once enter Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

Too bad that one aide didn't get the memo and told him about the cheeto dust on his mask when he was touring the factory

In some ways it makes sense for someone so full of shit he must be overflowing with it.

Are we sure it's not some power move from his art of the deal? Like he intentionally smells so people are desperate to get out of the room?

[–] krakenx@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

"The fart of the deal"

What a Stinker!

[–] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Can I just summarise where we are, as we close 2023 ?

“You smell” “Do not” “Do so”” “Do not”

With a media and leadership like this, the only hope is nice fat meteor from the cosmos .

[–] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Shit stinks. Next story?
