I don’t think “hey everyone, let’s make fun of a disabled 17-year-old tearfully expressing love for his father” is gonna play as well as they thought.
talk radio host Jay Weber tried to parody Tim Walz, tweeting, “Meet my son Gus. He’s a blubbering bitch boy. His mother and I are very proud.” Weber later said that he deleted his tweet after learning that Gus was disabled—he just meant to attack a 17-year-old boy for being emotional.(Weber has since deleted his explanatory tweet as well.)
What a bunch of weirdos
It’s funny(depressing?) to think that someone probably had to tell him that his explanation for the first tweet wasn’t making anything better and that he did not get it by himself. And I’m sure he still doesn’t understand what he did wrong
MAGA doesn’t care. They were fine with Trump making fun of someone with CP in 2016, and they’re fine with this.
…does CP mean what I think it does? Because someone who has that stuff doesn’t need to be defended. They need to be jailed.
Cerebral Palsy, iirc
Cerebral Palsy
I would have never guessed that. Cp and dp have very specific abbriviations on the internet. Its all I see when I see those abbriviations.
*in America
Ah yes Dr Pepper
That’s one of the reasons CSAM is taking over for that.
What is CSAM, and do I even want to know?
Stands for something like child sexual abuse material iirc. It’s a more formal term for child porn, the kind you’d see in like Facebook moderator job descriptions or court filings against accused sex offenders
CP wasn’t comfortable with itself, so it prefers to identify as CSAM.
Ambiguous acronyms aren’t exactly a new phenomenon. A single google search for “trump making fun of someone with cp 2016” turned up plenty of results clarifying what it means in this case.
That end wokeness take… As bad as a lot of SP takes have been, they have a long record of treating disability with respect. If they did make a bit about it, it would not be what end wokeness is looking for.
Oh hey look, the new ann coulter proposal video just droppe… And, he called it off.
Just think of the fucking human sludge it would take to propose to ann coulter in the first place, and then realize that those dudes STILL couldn’t go through with it. They got one full whiff and said, “LOOK lady… I literally pay millions of dollars to hunt human children for fun in Luxembourg, I have a Michelin chef flown in to prepare their livers for me for dinner… but YOU are just a god damn irredeemable monster… I can’t go through with this…”
I mean hell I’ll make about any joke and even I don’t think I’ve gone in on their kids.
Now once an adult and they become adulterating, addicted, unwed parents while giving abstinence lectures that’s another story.
Sounds about right for the weirdo influencers of the modern GOP.
Walz is good guy, the local coach, his son is proud of him, and his son has been diagnosed with some mental disabilities. This is a normal American family in 2024.
It is okay for macho men to cry and show every emotion available - “Macho Man” Randy Savage
Disability aside, I don’t think it’s at all unusual for a family member to express emotion like that for such a momentous situation. There’s only a few things that gets tears out of me—movies where the dog dies, amazing acts of heroism and selflessness, exhaustion in emergency scenarios—but I’m pretty sure I’d lose it if my father was taking on a national leadership position, there’s a huge crowd cheering him, and everyone’s saying how great he is.
The far right is obsessed with this image of hyper masculinity from Alex Jones’s magic pills to Andrew Tate to AI generated Trump with Superman’s figure. Their ideal men in that world do not show emotion and they damn well never cry even in happiness, that stuff is for women and other weaklings that need a strong man to run their lives. And it’s all based in insecurity.
They have no idea that people with real strength of character are secure in themselves and can show tenderness and vulnerability knowing that does not define them as weak.
So true. For me, one of the most masculine things a man can do is cry in public without shame. It shows that they’re secure enough in their emotions to know that crying is a completely natural and usually quite helpful thing for people of any gender to do.

They are also weird about Kamala’s step daughter
Step-daughter you say??? Does she frequently get stuck in the washing machine?

Being a weirdo about sex
Why did this get downvoted to hell?
Is it not a porn joke?
Tell me what the punchline is and I’ll upvote
Making fun of the current stepsister/stepdaughter porn wave
Best I have is porn plots funny cause flimsy reasoning. Also all I can think of is nightmare crackhead pikachu from that one pokemon porn parody.
Booo, weird!
Oh man, Ann Coulter…what a blast from the past! You can talk about your Marjorie Taylor Greens or your Lauren Boeberts, but she was going batshit crazy for attention back when those two were still pulling the hair off of their Barbie dolls. And she’s still out there, working the county fair circuit, opening for Right Said Fred on their “Shit left over from the 90s” tour.
I’d forgotten she even existed. I mean conservative media is infested with “blonde” taking heads without conscience or empathy.
