“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.
“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.
“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”
“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”
“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.
The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.
I hope they rip each other apart trying to justify their own ignorance and his madness.
Unfortunately their disproportionately overvalued federal representation and votes due to the electoral college they are dragging the rest of us down with them
Finishing lunch with two friends at a diner in Osage, Dixie Bowman, 88, a retired welder, said she liked what Trump was doing. Her two friends, when asked, said they preferred not to speak of it.
Dixie Bowman: Trump is “a very kind, very generous person”
Here, let me translate for you:
Dixie Bowman, 88, a retired welder, said she liked what Trump was doing.
“I like how he’s getting rid of all the brown people.”
Dixie Bowman: Trump is “a very kind, very generous person”
“He’s doing things I like. That means he’s a good person. Good people are kind and generous.”
I don’t feel bad for anyone that voted for trump. Nothing he is doing is a surprise. So far it has been everything he said he wanted to do. Fucking morons got exactly what they voted for.
I want them to see the error of their ways. No forgiveness without change, but there is no change without the possibility of forgiveness.
Eventually one of these rallies will turn into that church scene from Kingsman
I only hope someone is there to play freebird on a boombox
Heavens to Betsy!
The US is overdue for balkanization. I think the USA will split some time before 2060.
Not fully, but in practice to benefit from no trade barriers. And it’ll be done by 2040.
I think what we’ll get is no more singular head of state because the Unitary Executive model is a flawed premise that highlights the fragility of having only one person as the chief executive. It’s a poison pill. Suggesting it is to suggest inevitable death of the Republic.
What we’ll end up with our scaled up Switzerland. An Executive Council of 5/7/9 regionally elected members, with a rotation of who is the ceremonial head of state for functions. I like 7, with more of the East Coast and Midwest consolidated.
But whew…the constitution will need a major overhaul for that to work.
Unitary executive model is a bullshit right wing theory that ignores the entire basis of how our system was designed.
The problem is that is much worse than bullshit, it’s a death sentence.
I’d PPV Nana Slap Fight Championships.
Imagine believing that the best days of the US are ahead of you…
I’m sure improvements will be made, but the United States is dying, thanks in large part due to the cancer that’s rightwing propaganda networks
Honestly, I don’t want the United states to be a thing anymore. It is time for the nation to break up, so that people can choose what sort of government they want to live in. In my case, I would like something modeled after European socialism. I am sick of Fascist America dragging down my state with its evil and stupidity.
Uncapping the House would go a long way towards rebalancing.
The problem with that plan is that you get an outwardly fascist neighbor with no guardrails at all. Yes it will burn itself out eventually but before that it’s going to be just as much of a problem as when it was states.
Better to fight an enemy that is outside, rather than a foe within. We also don’t have sturdy guardrails - just ask federal employees, and the American citizens who have been trafficked to Honduras.
But the foes would always be within. This isn’t just red vs blue, it’s rural vs urban. Oregon goes Blue every time, but you drive 30 minutes out of the city and it’s Trump Central.
Good luck with that. Honestly.
That about sums it up. There are no obviously good options for the situation, so we are all left to gamble on a guess and a prayer that things work out.
Not sure what you mean by European socialism, but you do NOT want the socialism that was attempted in eastern European countries.
my brother in christ, all western european countries are socialist welfare states with a capitalistic market. Media wants you to believe that, what we have is communism, but socialism is so far off Marxism / Communism, as Turbo-capitalism is off of socialism. Beat the red scare and don’t carry on their dumb talking points. Socialism is the way to go
If I ever get diagnosed with a terminal disease. I know what I’m doing before I go out.
The leopard’s are gonna be obese by the summer.
The leopards are already obese. I suspect by summer they’ll die by cardiovascular diseases.
Magas can do one thing right, even saving the leopards is too hard for them
“Everyone that disagrees with me is a Democrat”
Not only that, but Democrats by default do not matter and shouldn’t be considered at all.
He had tattoos on his body? I keep mine in a drawer in the shed.
Ok, hear me out.
David Beckham has tattoos on his body AND is an immigrant. Therefore he must be a part of the ms13 gang and should be deported. It’s the only thing that makes sense!!!I’ve also heard Dolly Parton has tattoos…
They stopped liking Dolly Parton after they found out that she’s gives books to kids.
She also sang a song about getting the COVID vaccine iirc.
Nobody better fuck with my girl Dolly. That’s how you get the metalheads all riled up.
How many cops have gang tattoos in 'murica? The internet tells me a good deal of them do.
Yes, they often take the form of shields, seven pointed stars, and Punisher skulls. These things identify them as street-roaming gang bangers and armed thugs.
I’ve also heard Dolly Parton has tattoos…
Tattoos or ta-tas?
Why not both?
I heard Beckham was part of Bend de Aragua
You’d think farmers at least would understand the relationship between what you sow and what you reap.
They never have to think about because they use migrant labor
This country is so fucked.
They never should have shot that gorilla.
That’s when we entered the worst timeline.
Right? I.swear this is all some butterfly effect, parallel universe, quantum leap bs from that exact moment.
It is out.
Yeah and has been since Trump laughed off stage in 2015
Edit: I guess people knew what I meant. I meant since he wasnt laughed off stage in 2015
“That man is a criminal,” she declared of Garcia.
“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.
“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.
MAGA morons are the bottom of the barrel
Tattoos are basically body mutilation or improvement, depending on who you ask. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I wonder what she thinks of body mutilation like hair cut, nail cutting, plastic surgery and circumcision.
Im trying in my head to make that response of “he had tattoos on his body” less stupid than it is, but cannot come up with a scenario where someone would get tattoos anywhere else.
You’re focused on the word, “body”, when the one that makes the difference is “on”.
If he had tattoos in his body, it would be ok.
It’s just a bit more difficult to find a tattoo artist who is willing to work on the inside.
Trying to get into magas heads is a bit like entering the Kaiju minds: dangerous with extensive psychological side effects, and to be avoided
Surely he’d be more of a criminal if he had tattoos on someone else’s skin
There are no more dangerous gang tattoos than the ankle dolphin or butterfly tramp stamp
This is almost exactly word for word what happened at work today.
Do you live in Iowa? If so, I feel for you - I escaped years ago.
No, the people’s republic of Massachusetts. We’re not immune.
Ignorant people in Mass are way more annoying too, because they speak of themselves as above ignorant people in the south or midwest even though they believe the exact same dumb shit
Of all the places Ive lived in the US, the worst ignorance was probably in Mass, because its ignorance with an extra dose of superiority complex
The stupidity of some people in that article is jaw dropping.
Also, if they shout at each other now, just wait for the SSA, Medicare, and Medicaid cuts that make hearing aids too expensive for rural boomers.
As if MAGAts are sufficiently self-aware to admit they need hearing aids.
Specifically boycotting anything that comes from Iowa would be a great trade policy for our former allies to adopt
Boycotting stupidity? How would that even work?!?
Studies show that two out of every three Trump voters are just as stupid as the third one.
Grew up near Iowa, can confirm a lot of stupid people who think they’re smart.
And they all vote. (credit to George Carlin)
Idiots Out Wandering Around
Was heading up 35 to the Cities last fall and came up behind an old pickup with Iowa plates. Guy was poking along 5 under the limit. I was just getting ready to pass him when all the sudden he veered hard off the road and into the ditch. I quickly pulled over to check on him. “Are you okay? What the heck happened,” I asked. “No, I’m fine,” he answered, “I was on my way up to the Fair, you know, and I was just thinkin’ about whether to go to the Dairy Building or the 4-H building first. But then I looked down and noticed my turn signal was on.”
Is this a true story? Sounds to me like the gut may have fallen asleep or had some kind of mental short-circuit or something. I honestly can’t believe someone can survive to adulthood if they were actually just this dumb…
Spoken like someone who’s never met an Iowan.
Forgive me if I’m just unknowledgable here, but it appears from the downvotes that there might indeed exist adults as dumb as the one described. I’m honestly dumbfounded if that’s actually the case.
I wish it wasn’t true but those guys aren’t even that dumb compared to some people I know in real life
Just a matter of time before conservative media finds a suitable scapegoat. They’ll get a wall of “Transgender Mexican ISIS stole the last bits of New Deal social contract” news articles for six months and come out more rabid than when they started.
This isn’t merely “Iowans are uniquely gullible”, either. The toxic nature of modern media is everywhere. And it produces as many Eric Adams Democrats as Donald Trump Republicans.
Most Americans aren’t smart enough to connect the disappearance of Medicaid and stuff to anything.
They’ll just see it disappear, be angry for a little while and write things like “make it make sense”, “a suit without a man” or whatever the buzzwords are then.
Then the next outrage thing comes along and they’ll bite, forgetting what they used to have.
