Perfect! This is perfection, nobody will ever make a better use of this meme format!

Nah the mitt romney one

I thought the Babylon Bee would love Andrew Tate.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 111 points 1 week ago

Apparently the thought of him being a Muslim is too much for them

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

I had no idea he was Muslim.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 54 points 1 week ago

I assume he’s about as much a Muslim as trump is a Christian (ie only when it’s convenient, and he probably doesn’t know what all those words mean in that order, anyway)

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 27 points 1 week ago

He's probably about as Muslim as a brick with the word "Muslim" painted on it.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

He said he reverted in prison a few years ago but lately started dropping the act. Now that he is out of prison he will likely drop it.

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

He reverted ig

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

He literally got into Islam for the misogyny.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

He became Muslim because of the misogyny and incels of the religion, he's in for the grift, much like Russel brand became "born again"

I definitely get that vibe from that headline. It's not that the US reached out and said "touch not one hair on my precious scumbags", it's that they did it for someone who scumbags who also claim to be Muslim and fail the melanin deficiency test.

Is there any one quality that more of the people surrounding Trump share than being serial sex abusers?

I can't think of one.

[-] Dadifer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

I think they all have to share their "special secret". If one of the group doesn't, they are a liability.

Undoubtedly sort of.

It's not so much "closet homosexuality" as that sexuality is a spectrum, which means that most people have some greater-than-zero amount of attraction to their same sex, which is a problem for desperately insecure bigots, and he's a desperately insecure bigot.

For the majority of people, the portion of their sexuality that's focused on their same sex is not significant enough to justify defining themselves as anything other than heterosexual - it just is, or possibly just was, a source of occasional thoughts or fantasies or, in some cases, experimentation. In fact, it's quite possible that, not particularly concerned about it, they've never even consciously realized that some portion of their sexual attention is drawn to their same sex.

However, for the "incel" personality type, like Tate, that amount greater-than-zero of attraction to their same sex can be a cause for overwhelming shame. It's not enough for them to be heterosexual overall - their insecurity and self-doubt and need to puff themselves up demands that they be 100% straight manly men. And they aren't. Never mind that that portion of their attention that's focused on their same sex is near certainly insignificant in and of itself - to them its mere existence is an existential threat to their already shaky self-images, so they feel a need to, and often do, put an outsized focus on stamping it down and making every effort to pretend it doesn't exist at all. Which ends up warping their personalities, and ironically enough making them even more focused on homosexuality than they would've been had they, as most people do, just not worried about it in the first place.

So yes, sort of.

I don’t understand if this is satire anymore.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Reality hasbecome too hard to satirise.

[-] 1SimpleTailor@startrek.website 26 points 1 week ago

So they're all at least 5 months old? Must be bringing their girlfriends.

This is not the onion, but Desantis might go after him. It could all be a stunt, of course.

https://www.salon.com/2025/02/27/zero-tolerance-desantis-says-andrew-tate-is-not-welcome-in-florida-as-maga-celebrates-release/?in_brief=true

From the Miami Herald article:

But Tate’s claim that the Romanian case against him was dismissed in December isn’t true. While a Bucharest court ruled that the first criminal case could not proceed due to legal and procedural irregularities, the charges against the Tates remain in effect. What’s unclear is how further cases will proceed now that the Tates are back on American soil.

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

If he does, this will be the one and only time I ever root for that piece of shit. Desantis that is, not the other pos.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 28 points 1 week ago

Watch the tate brothers become members of Trump's cabinet

[-] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Head of the minister for women and gender equality, an obvious choice.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What better position? Secretary of safety of women and children

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

That's too much. That's like putting an antivaxxer in charge of health!

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Ehh. They are rapey enough but don't you think they look well, a little on the brown side? Doesn't seem like there's any reason to compromise when there aren't DEI rules in place and there are plenty of rapey whites that are well qualified.

[-] DarthKaren@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Watch them become the new Epstein for the rich and powerful. tRUmp still has the jet iirc.

The title could also start as "Family values saved..."

Did something change with the babylon bee? Sudden surge of actually decent content all of a sudden

[-] Saprophyte@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

If you go to their site this is definitely the exception and not the rule. The rest of the articles today are bashing Zelensky.

Right wingers are starting to act non/anti-christian more prominently from power, it seems. So Babylon bee has material from the right to make fun of. Or maybe not, it kind of always existed, now thinking.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

Idk, I always felt that there was a conservative slant to the bee. It's never there 100% of the time, but it's kinda like if the Onion was written by a bunch of bootlickers.

I'm not sure if it's widely known, but Tate started a political party in the UK called "BRUV" ("Britain Restoring Underlying Values"). The manifesto is all AI generated garbage. I'm unsure how that'll turn out as a refugee fleeing European justice.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

I mean look at all the fake-ass christians infecting the world, is it so hard to believe that there are plenty of fake-ass muslims too? I was friends with a Palestinian/Jordanian guy and he told me it was commonplace in Jordan to have a group of men drinking tea at a cafe, except the tea pot was full of liquor. I don't know if it was meant to hide it from other people, hide it from god, or both.

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

I mean. The only place to get alcohol past midnight in the Canadian town I grew up in was an all night tea house. But we were just trying to hide it from the cops.

Real news is more oniony than The Onion now. They ought to start doing super bland fake stories like “Cat Stuck in Tree, Saved by Local Fire Department.” Kind of like a form of eye bleach.

[-] B312@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Is he an actual Muslim? Or did he convert just to lessen the heat on him?

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

He converted before the fiasco
