He's gay and married to an immigrant and still voted trump? I knew magaheads were dense but this is neutron star level density!

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 16 points 2 hours ago

Why would Carol Baskin do this?

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 20 points 3 hours ago

This is my favourite one so far. Fuck Joe Exotic.

It's an older meme, but it checks out.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 6 hours ago

I can definetely still hear this one!

“I am never gonna financially recover from this situation.”

good ol' create problem, sell solution

Hahaha, you think a gay dude's getting one of Trump's golden tickets for US citizenship? I mean come on, has he even raped any women? Remember, trans ones don't count!

[–] icmpecho@lemmy.ml 82 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

i absolutely hate this, and at the same time, you're entirely on point here. it's beginning to feel a lot like sex crimes are a rite of passage to the new regime, bonus points if it's a hate crime directed at a trans person

[–] WarlockoftheWoods@lemy.lol 14 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (3 children)

What do you mean "sex crimes"? There's about to be no such thing by the end of the next 4 years. Women won't be able to report crimes

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 7 points 5 hours ago

I'm pretty certain they'll still be able to report a crime, but it becomes selectively enforced and used to control people.

Or they encourage victims to speak up, then force them to marry their rapist and remove all agency from them in that marriage to prevent them from speaking about it again.

Or both.

Or something worse than all of the above.

Fine, but they can refer to each other as husbands if they like

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 9 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Well, yeah, but I believe the implication is that if they were legally married then Exotic's husband should be a US citizen and shouldn't have been deported.

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.org 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

should be a US citizen

No? You can marry foreign nationals in the US I'd hope

[–] prayer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Other way around. A US citizen marrying a foreign national grants the foreign national a path towards citizenship.

After looking further into it, however, it's not an immediate thing. It seems to take 3 years before you can apply for citizenship, and of course you need to remain in the country legally for those 3 years.

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.org 1 points 25 minutes ago

But there's also the assumption that one wants US citizenship which often means giving up any other citizenship you have

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

I think that even if they were legally married, there are instances where they can still be deported. If the person went into or stayed in America "illegally", they can be deported regardless of marriage status.

[–] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 2 points 3 hours ago

That's bullshit. The government shouldn't be deporting people for refusing to participate in their system of regulating love. Just let people live where they want.

There's going to be so many fat leopards.

Leopards Ate My Husband

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 33 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think Joe can vote from prison.

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

In some states you can't vote once you leave it either, for felonies. States like Missouri or Mississippi require extra steps like a pardon to get your voting rights back

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 36 points 9 hours ago

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving piece of shit. Zero sympathy.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 54 points 10 hours ago

i thought a tiger would eat his face, but eventually turned out to be a leopard

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 60 points 10 hours ago
[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 48 points 11 hours ago

Joe Exotic really seems to be leaning into leopards these days.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.

Trump was exceedingly, vulgarly, and graphically clear that a vote for him was a vote the policy of heavy-handed and widespread immigration crackdowns.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 26 points 10 hours ago

If he can get $5 million, does that mean he financially recovered from this?
