    So weird he didn’t even learn god still loves those that suck dicks

    “I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell.”

    When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as “Mamaw” — she replied bluntly: “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?”

    When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.

    “JD, do you want to suck dicks?” she said, according to the book.

    The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted,” said: “Of course not!”

    “Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”

      I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. This quote is JD Vance publicly stating that he knows his grandmother is straight because she wants to suck dicks. That is a WEIRD thing to say.

        I don’t think that is what was said at all. He’s still fucking weird, but they only discussed if HE wanted to suck dicks. You mother fuckers keep making this about Mamaw sucking dicks

        Edit: quit putting dicks in Mamaw’s mouth

    Surprise Republican is an invisible goblin that tickles you genitals and puts up a finger up your ass to inspect your sex and how homosexual are you at any given moment. In an airport, in the office, in your morning commute. There may be a comic like that akin to Spanish inquisition.

    This reminds me a lot of the show Brain Dead which was masterfully done to show the only explanation for the ‘weirdness’ was mostly political brains being taken over by aliens to control the world. Made a lot of sense in a fictional world. https://g.co/kgs/hfMyPnP

    When did weird start meaning bad again? I still hold the title of weird proudly no matter how hard people want to associate it with republicans, fuck all y’all.

    And EC comics ruled!

      I don’t think anyone is seriously using weird as bad. Just more so because weird bothers them and gets under their skin. I don’t think if you call yourself weird anyone is seriously gonna think you’re a republican.

        The reason it bothers them so much is because they want to claim the “silent majority”, who thinks like they do but don’t say it out loud.

        When they’re the outliers, they can no longer do that. That’s why it gets under their skin so much.

          The thing that bothers me though is I’m weird, I’m a goddamn outlier, they’re really not and they don’t deserve the title of honor, imho.

          The other person may be right that if I say I’m weird it won’t be associated, yet. But the second they buy in and spin it, like the OK symbol, it will be. I’m sick of them stealing shit and weird is where I draw the line, weird as that may be.

              You still see people on lemmy to this very day defending “it means WP.” When you correct them, best they can do is “well fine we were trolled but now it really does mean WP.” People are hopeless, they’ll let them take anything.

            I do get where you’re coming from, and this is why comedians like Jon Stewart have been so careful to seperate out “good weird” from “bad weird”, but unfortunately for you it’s a fabulously successful rhetorical line that strips away a lot of their artifice.

    Trump’s tie, posture and hair are all too normal. His tie should be longer because, yes, he’s that insecure, his posture has that Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s lean to it and then there’s his “hair” …

    He looks so weird that drawing him as he actually is would look like over-exagerating how weird he looks.

      Much as I’d like to buy into the idea that Trump suffers from advanced cognitive decline, I think the balance of evidence points towards his odd posture specifically being the result of wearing shoes with lifts and/or heels on them to enhance is height, and possibly also shapewear that disguises his paunch but also constricts his range of motion.

      That said, the “Man woman person camera TV” episode is strong independent evidence of either dementia or general intelligence on the level of a nematode – but the way he carries himself appears (ironically) to be a result of his vanity rather than his spongy brain.

        I could definitely believe that he’s wearing platforms and a girdle, and that those contribute most to his weird posture.

        But I don’t think you can listen to him speak without realizing he’s in cognitive decline. He’s noticably less coherent than he was in previous campaigns.
