“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.

“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.

“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”

“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”

“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.

The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.

Iowa was improving in the 90s, improving in the 2000s. They were blue then.

Now I hate going back, it's not the same state I grew up in. Abortion billboards and porn stores, same as the bible belt now.

The state is not improving but they don't care anymore, long as the right people (like me) get hurt.

Jesus Died For Your SINS

Right next to...

Cum on down to the Dildo Motel! Behind the truck stop on State 30, we got every kind, color and flavor of fake dicks and porno DVDs.

I don't feel bad for anyone that voted for trump. Nothing he is doing is a surprise. So far it has been everything he said he wanted to do. Fucking morons got exactly what they voted for.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

I want them to see the error of their ways. No forgiveness without change, but there is no change without the possibility of forgiveness.

The US is overdue for balkanization. I think the USA will split some time before 2060.

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not fully, but in practice to benefit from no trade barriers. And it'll be done by 2040.

I think what we'll get is no more singular head of state because the Unitary Executive model is a flawed premise that highlights the fragility of having only one person as the chief executive. It's a poison pill. Suggesting it is to suggest inevitable death of the Republic.

What we'll end up with our scaled up Switzerland. An Executive Council of 5/7/9 regionally elected members, with a rotation of who is the ceremonial head of state for functions. I like 7, with more of the East Coast and Midwest consolidated.

But whew...the constitution will need a major overhaul for that to work.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Unitary executive model is a bullshit right wing theory that ignores the entire basis of how our system was designed.

balkanization is one of the better scenarios in my opinion.

So many heads up so many asses.

He had tattoos on his body? I keep mine in a drawer in the shed.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 27 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Ok, hear me out.
David Beckham has tattoos on his body AND is an immigrant. Therefore he must be a part of the ms13 gang and should be deported. It's the only thing that makes sense!!!!!

I've also heard Dolly Parton has tattoos...

[–] raltoid@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

They stopped liking Dolly Parton after they found out that she's gives books to kids.

How many cops have gang tattoos in 'murica? The internet tells me a good deal of them do.

[–] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago

Yes, they often take the form of shields, seven pointed stars, and Punisher skulls. These things identify them as street-roaming gang bangers and armed thugs.

grabs popcorn

[–] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 52 points 3 days ago (9 children)

This will only escalate.. And, across the country...

And I'm here for it.

(How is it possible to have a "Food and Drink" emoji section that has no popcorn emoji*) 🤷‍♂️ 🤡

Next time one your friends insists that Trump voters are regretful, or somebody mentions Trump's poll numbers, show them this.
