Kudos to TreVeyon Henderson for low-key trolling the Republicans by being a black man in a tan suit. No way that was an unintentional choice.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

? How is that trolling?

Seems like doing a PR op for them, or am I too European to understand?

It was a huge controversy for conservatives when Obama wore a tan colored suit.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 8 points 12 hours ago

Obama wore a tan suit once.

Republicans went apeshit due to this fashion choice.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 13 points 14 hours ago

You say "basic tasks", but you try crashing the economy once.

Fucking DUI hires....

What a ghoul like Thiel sees in this couch-fucking fuckup I will never understand.

Vance is a lapdog that does what he is instructed like a good little boy.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago

Probably sees someone who will do exactly what he tells him to. Nothing more complicated

Remember, DEI was created to prevent the hiring of the unqualified just because they were white.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 29 points 17 hours ago

Trump and Vance are the revenge of the unqualified white idiots.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 35 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but imagine if a black woman had done it. We'd need to question her abilities as a black woman and call it woke and stuff. /s

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 10 points 15 hours ago

A black woman expertly played a flute and MAGA insisted that it was "to remind you that nothing you care about has any value."

I LOVE THIS!!! Awesome that the VP from Ohio broke Ohio State's trophy. I love that for Ohio and OSU. Fuck OSU and JD Vance. This just made my day.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 4 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Whether coming from PA or MI, it's almost instantly recognizable when crossing into Ohio; the drivers are awful and the roads are worse.

Ohio sucks

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I've wanted a flag for a while now, that was OSU but with Michigan colors; idgaf about sports but i think it'd be hilarious to see people frothing at the mouth over it 🤣

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 4 points 22 hours ago

Green and white is more fashionable 😉

Sometimes I look at the politicians from my country, and think to myself "gosh, what a bunch of sleezebags. Even I could do a better job". And then I see this and come back to reality.

I mean, my politicians are still sleezebags, but not at this level, and that doesn't necessarily correlate to my ability to actually do better than them with no actual experience.

These folks are the me that didn't stop at intrusive thoughts. Who thought that just because they were raised on silver spoons and bailed out at every blunder they knew better.

No Silicon Valley techbro will ever be president, because they can’t fake being human long enough with cameras around. The complete lack of experience with anything approaching real life will expose them over and over again.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No New York trust fund property developer will ever be president, because they can’t fake being human long enough with cameras around. The complete lack of experience with anything approaching real life will expose them over and over again.

[–] Podunk@lemmy.world 18 points 21 hours ago

No California Hollywood actor and former head of the screen actors guild will ever be president, because they can’t fake being human long enough with cameras around. The complete lack of experience with anything approaching real life will expose them over and over again.

(You know it sounds silly when you say it for the third time and it still happens...)

[–] BowlingForBowls@lemmy.today 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'll bet the reason they don't send back the Maryland man is because he's already dead. I don't want that, I hope he can safely return to his family, but the reason they're not returning him is because something has happened that money cannot fix.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

I agree but what exactly does that have to do with a football trophy?

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I've had a similar thought.

Dead, or severely hurt. Or the system purposely dehumanizes so much that there is no way to connect a person to a real identity anymore.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

Or El Salvadorean president is trying to leverage the situation to get something big in return. It's an unpleasant dehumanizing situation, but the man is now a bargaining chip for them.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 17 hours ago

James Donald Bowman is a clown.

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 1 points 13 hours ago

How are you supposed to lift that trophy? In the video looks like it fell apart when the other dude picked it up from the top part. Tbh I wouldn't expect it to be that weak.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Fumbleeeeeeee! Whoa Nelly!

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

What a clown, who tries so hard to present as a tough guy.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 20 hours ago

It might be more valuable now as a civil rights activist talking point trophy.

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

If only it had been a couch trophy.

[–] ajoebyanyothername@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

I'm not sure fucking it would have been any better.
