I can't find that insane video of the couple eating breakfast where the husband is reading the paper and says something like "They said Don Blakenship didn't blow up the mine."
Guys, Lara Trump is a complete piece of shit for approximately a billion reasons. Her appearance is literally zero of those reasons.
When you’re a legitimately horrible piece of shit human being in every way AND you made the choice to look like the main character from the Saw franchise, then, yes, going after her for looking freakish is also fair game.
I’m usually with you on the appearance shaming stuff but I’m going to need to poll the audience on plastic surgery that looks terrible since that’s in someone’s control (as opposed to natural features)
Texas congressman openly blasts fellow Republicans as 'scumbags' and klansmen Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 5:28:03p CDT Spoiler By Matthew Choi, The Texas Tribune U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-San Antonio, ripped into his party’s right flank for voting against billions in foreign aid for U.S. allies last week, castigating his ultraconservative peers as “scumbags” and klansmen. “These people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime,” Gonzales told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview Sunday. “It didn't surprise me that some of these folks voted against aid to Israel.” Gonazales, a rare flame-throwing centrist who is battling it out against YouTube gun enthusiast Brandon Herrera in the first serious primary challenge, singled out two sitting Republicans by name who have endorsed against him. “It's my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags like [Florida Congressman] Matt Gaetz. He paid minors to have sex with them at drunk parties,” Gonzales said, before calling out Rep. Bob Good for earlier this month endorsing Herrera, whom he called a “known neo-Nazi.” Federal prosecutors declined to charge Gaetz after investigating allegations of sex trafficking, though the House Ethics Committee is continuing to investigate the matter. Gonzales made the remarks in reaction to several Republican members voting against their party’s leadership on Saturday on military and civilian aid packages for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The hardline House Freedom Caucus asserted Congress should not pass the bills, which would include over $90 billion in assistance to the U.S. allies, before more securing aggressive measures on the U.S.-Mexico border. The foreign aid packages passed the House with large bipartisan support. Gonzales has a history of clashing with the right wing of the House Republican conference. He criticized hardline border proposals by U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Austin, as anti-American and un-Christian and was the only Republican to vote against a set of rules for the House negotiated between former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and hardline Republicans. Roy’s border bill eventually became a foundation for sweeping border security legislation the House passed with full Republican support last year. Gonzales’ attack on Good, who is the chair of the House Freedom Caucus, attracted swift rebuttal from the group’s members. U.S. Rep. Eli Crane, R-Arizona, said on social media it was “pathetic” to “insinuate that other members are klansmen.” Crane endorsed Herrera’s run in the same post. "It is not surprising that one of the most liberal RINOs in Congress, who has egregiously fought against real border security, and votes like a Democrat, would also resort to the Democrat playbook in screaming ‘racism’ against those exposing him,” Good said in a statement. “Thankfully, the good people of the Texas 23rd District have the opportunity to vote for change and an America First patriot, in Brandon Herrera." Herrera said Gonzales’ comments were an act of desperation as he gains momentum. “This is the death spiral ladies and gentlemen,” Herrera said on social media. Gaetz denied Gonzales’ claims about him as “lies,” saying on social media that “one of the final phases a politician goes through prior to defeat.” Gaetz supported Herrera before the primary election, appearing at a campaign rally with him in San Antonio in March. Roy, who also represents parts of San Antonio and has previously kept any personal animus out of the public eye, railed against Gonzales in a Tuesday radio interview in San Antonio. "I'm being attacked. Conservatives are being attacked," Roy said on KTSA. "Bob Good, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, is being attacked by Tony. He said that he's a Klansman. Yeah, I cannot tolerate what's happening to the people that I think are standing up for this country." The Texas Republican Party censured Gonzales last year, citing his opposition to Roy’s border bill and the rules package, as well as his support for gun safety legislation after the Robb Elementary shooting in his district. The party also cited his support for legislation protecting same-sex marriage. The censure invited a lively, five-way primary field, including Herrera and Julie Clark, the former Medina County GOP chair who started the censure motion. Backed by an army of online fans donating small-dollar donations, Herrera was able to secure a place against Gonzales in the runoff, which will be on May 28. Attacking a fellow Republican member, including endorsing a primary challenger, was historically rare in the party. Gaetz’s support for Herrera was a provocative move, but the censure motion from the Texas GOP gave some cover for other Republicans to endorse Gonzales’ challengers. Herrera has disquieted many of his fellow Republicans for his edgy humor on his YouTube channel and podcast appearances. He has made quips about veteran suicide, the Holocaust and child abuse that many moderate Republicans viewed as flippant. He has defended his comments as being in jest to lighten heavy topics. He says in one video he’s “not really a big fan of fascism.” Despite the pile ons from the right, Gonzales remains a competitive candidate with a formidable fundraising operation. He raised more than twice as much as Herrera in the first quarter of the year and maintains strong relationships with Republican leadership, corporate interests, moderate Republican donors and bipartisan interest groups. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which supports members of both parties to advance Israel-related issues, has steadily supported Gonzales. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, also backs Gonzales. He traveled to San Antonio on Tuesday to fundraise for him. Roy criticized Johnson for passing the foreign aid bills without securing more for the border — a move Roy viewed as a betrayal. He said the speaker campaigning for Gonzales rubbed salt into the wound. "To have the speaker be in San Antonio, campaigning for Tony … when we had them both voting to fund this atrocity this last weekend. I'm just beside myself that that's where things are," Roy said on KTSA. Gonzales has also shown a willingness to entertain more partisan priorities, including the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Gonzales helped U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, garner support for her move to impeach the secretary. The Democrat-controlled Senate voted to dismiss the impeachment. "Tony Gonzales openly blasts fellow Republicans as “scumbags” and klansmen" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.
Blasting terrible people for looking weird after plastic surgery will always be fair game to me. I also support making fun of natural physical appearances of shitty people, too.
Couple responses to that. First (and certain to get the most eye rolls in here), shitting on women’s looks is never contained to the “deserving” party. Lara Trump looks like 75% of 40 year old white women at this point. Second, it doesn’t matter at all. “I don’t like the way this awful person looks,” is just kind of a nothing statement, especially in the world of daily atrocities.
Taking a valid cause of not shaming people for their physical appearance in day to day life and turning it into a crusade to police message board posters and white knight for Hunger Games looking augmented B list celebrities or political monsters is just bizarre to me. I’ll shut up now
Thankfully, I find the policing of the message board police to be the highest level of posting, so we have some common ground here.
Approaching the level of some poster who argued that thinking “Jordan > LeBron” was evidence of latent racism.
Shtick implies that it’s not genuine. Unfortunately for everybody in my life, I’m this tedious in real life too.
Not sure I even know what thread it was in. Think the poster was one of the guys with a Homer Simpson avatar or handle. I also remember pnk$krtcrÿnästÿ having some good replies in that thread. Maybe he bookmarked it so he could print out and hang on his office wall. But I think the logic was something about the 90s Jordan NBA star was subjugated by white overlords or something and LeBron has always been in control of his brand so you are telling on yourself if you prefer the figuratively shackled African American basketball star over the powerful and independent LeBron. It was a virtue signaling stretch, even for this board (I know virtue signaling is good Lyrtch)
I have zero recollection of that whatsoever. If I took a heated stance in that debate, I honestly have no idea which side it would've been on
It’s a very clear distinction between what looks someone was born with and what they’ve chosen to do. Dumbledore himself said, “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our [natural features we were born with, gurl].”
That’s so great. Rudy dying in prison because of Trump is going to be such a chef’s kiss if it happens.
Whoops! The Republican National Committee voted to name Trump loyalists Michael Whatley and Lara Trump to lead the organization on March 8, 2024. After dozens of employees were quickly discharged, Bobb was named senior counsel for election integrity on March 12.[30][31]
Jenna Ellis turning on trump like a year ago and still racking up felonies because of him is amazing too
I love this so much because there's two realistic options: 1) people involved in it either legitimately believed they could impeach him and so now they just 2) people involved in it knew it was never going to happen but had to placate their base and so chewed and swallowed the fattest shit sandwich for well over a year. imagine going to bed each night knowing in the morning you had to get up and that shit sandwich was reformed like the liver of Prometheus and you had to bite down on it yet again.
