This woman is fucking weird.

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 49 points 3 months ago

Yeah, why's she thinking about other people's junk so much? Weirdo.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 145 points 3 months ago

Its 2024. Only fucking assholes think this language is acceptable.

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 45 points 3 months ago

I don't think I've heard that word out loud in over ten years and the last person I heard say it was a gay man. I've run into some pretty shitty people in that time frame, yet none of them managed to use it. That's really bizarre.

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

I got called it the other day when I put my hair up in a bun. And earlier that day I had coworkers say “he’s a man!” When I came in with my hair up and they didn’t realize yet that I didn’t cut it. Welcome to SW Virginia

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago

Damn, I'm sorry. The fact that people like this are still around is baffling. I moved to Indiana about two years ago, and I've found many folks out here to be pretty backward, but not that good damn backward.

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

It’s fine. I’m looking to move out of here anyways.

They are however also trying to lock down the asshole vote.

It's fucking hilarious when someone named "Gómez" tries to simp for republican nazis.

It's like, honey, you may not be the first one on the train, but they got a seat for you lol

[-] razorwiregoatlick@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

This right here. Anyone who is a Republican but not a billionaire is just putting off their own demise. Once they have taken everything from minorities they will come for the rest.

[-] twig@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 months ago

It is however a classic trope. Being "one of the good ones," affords certain privileges until is doesn't. It is also absolutely a despicable card to play.

There's a surprising amount of Latin American trump supporters. They're either naturalized or children of naturalized citizens who get mad at undocumented immigrants for not doing it "the right way" so his rhetoric appeals to them in that regard at least.

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 17 points 3 months ago

I’m Mexican, my fuckin’ family is full of them. It is disgusting and a disgrace to my grandparents who immigrated here in the early 1900s. My grandpa was a union carpenter as well. It’s like spitting on their graves for their children to call themselves conservatives.

[-] fukurthumz420@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

that's what Catholicism and lack of education gets you. destroy all religion for the sake of humanity.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

This is what I tell my Jewish Republican friend. Like bro, what do you think they mean when they ramble about George Soros?

Hatefulness is simply exhausting. It’s not a trait I want in the people around me, much less in my government.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 40 points 3 months ago

Oh, apparently this is the shithead who did a promo literally burning books. Fashy fash bigot shit.

Someone's trying real hard to prove she shouldn't be in any of the groups her political party wants to purge.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago

I would bet money that she also takes part in lesbian orgies

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Listen, we may have bad taste in women but standards can only go so low. I bet she goes bobbing for mussels in the hopes she gets invited to lesbian orgies

Edit: ok she looks like someone who your lesbian prostitute friend says managed to be the worst lay of her week despite being the only woman.

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Doubtful. Lesbians are cool. She'd see that if she hung out with them.

I wonder if she was one of the kids at Epstein's island.

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

A number of years ago while helping to build a theater set I was introduced to two self-professed “lesbians with power tools”. I still chuckle when I think about them introducing themselves that way.

We now know, beyond a reasonable doubt, that this fine lady munches ham-wallet all damn day.

Cheers!

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago

It's so weird that Republican candidates are so obsessed with a harmless group of people who all they want is to love whom they want.

Sometimes, there are valid arguments regarding transgender matters. For example, someone that has medically-induced higher levels of testosterone might have a resulting advantage in aggressive sports. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's at least worth discussing it openly and honestly. What I find odd though is that the people that make transgender matters in sports their main issue say they do it for fairness, especially in support of women. However, these same people tend to have misogynistic views everywhere else in politics, so I'm supposed to accept that this one particular thing is where they finally started caring about equality?? It just seems so inauthentic.

My sister is one of these people. She's suddenly all about equality in sports. What?! When has she ever cared about anything or anyone besides herself and her kids as an extension?? When has she cared about fairness?? It's so uncharacteristic of her to think that way, that I have trouble believing anything she has to say on the matter.

[-] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 3 months ago

It makes sense if you don't believe them when they say it's about fairness.

and the GOprojection continues...

i havent seen a lot of mainstream articles pointing out the obvious, 'most conservatives incapable of defining fascism'

not that a lot of non-conservatives can either, but they arent the projectionists attempting to sway opinion.

[-] Kolrami@lemmy.world 37 points 3 months ago

This isn't projection. They're not saying "fascists".

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 11 points 3 months ago

ha, oh damn! i gave them way more credit than they deserve. thanks!

Khelif is an athlete who trained for years to perfect her skills and talent. Khelifs skill gave her the honor of representing her country at an international level at the Olympics.

This MAGA lady, whose name I won’t even bother looking up, doesn’t really bring much to the table in terms of skill, talent or vision. This maga lady isn’t even the best sexist out there and is just riding on the coattails of better, smarter or more accomplished bigots. Why do people give losers like this lady any attention at all?

I watched the Khelif vs Carini fight and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I'm an actual fan of women's combat sports and I've seen them kick each other in the head way harder than anything in that match. Khelif had faster hands and better positioning. She earned the win.

I'm related to several collegiate level women athletes and none of them give a shit about trans women in sports. I've never met a trans woman who'd even come close to competing with them.

The people who are most concerned about keeping trans women from competing don't even watch women's sports. Hell, I doubt they even bothered to watch the 45 second fight yet have all kinds of opinions about it.

Fat tits? Is that some slag I as a old person don't get?

....are you serious? She implied physical gun violence against gay churches, and you're fucking worried about the bad word she used?

[-] Hazzia@infosec.pub 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Legit my first thought for the censored word was "facists" and I thought "ah, just another day of the 'i know you are but what am i' game"

then I figured it out and now I'm just sad

Oh no! Who could have ever thought a MAGA candidate would have those views?

[-] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

I knew it would be this lady before I even clicked the link. She’s not just a GOP weirdo—she’s a fucking loon. Like deranged enough that she’s going to hurt somebody.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

"because before if a man hit a woman, it used to land him in jail"

So she also virtue signals about being against "domestic abuse". I bet the very moment they no longer need to hide it, Project 2025 will suddenly also involve the allowing of "abuse of wives by their husbands, as a treat, if the husband is justifiably angry on that day at anything".

Republican candidate, stop minimizing Republican blame for these candidates.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Yep... That's about where we are in the timeline.

Your grandma and aunt in Ohio and Pennsylvania fucking suck. You need to put parental locks on their TV and internet...
