LOL, go for it, spoiler-boy.
- He'd have trouble spoiling meat sitting in the sun. He out-crazied MAGA, no one wants anything to do with him.
  
  He out-crazied MAGA, no one wants anything to do with him.
  
  I'm not yet convinced such a thing is possible.
  
  No, his scamming was just second class, and we know how much the GOP feels about people being bad at scamming.
  
  He out-crazied MAGA
  
  No, he fits perfectly within the MAGA crazy.
  
  Mad Margie would take issue with that statement.
If this weren't real life that it'd make a great premise for a comedy show.
- I hate the guy, but he was hilarious.
  
  Where did you get that baby, George? Whose baby was that?
  
  whose
This isn't what we meant when we asked for a three or more party system.
- If this is how we get ranked choice voting and more than 2 options… fuck it, I’ll take it!
- But it is what he thought you said, and really that is all that matters to him.
Hey it’s that one drag queen!
- Don’t be mean to drag queens! His defining feature is “criminal and scam artist”
  
  It's such a shame that we are making fun of a WW2 veteran instead of providing him the mental help he needs
  
  True it’s not fair to the drag queens to be in the same group as this bozo
  
  OP simply fell victim to autocorrect. He meant to say dead queen as he is in fact the late Queen Elizabeth.
  
  Being a criminal fraud and scam artist is what makes him appealing to maga republicans. Wearing pretty dresses and makeup makes him unacceptable to republicans.
This guy may be one of the few people I'd trust the Republican party over when they start pointing accusationary fingers at each other claiming the other is a fraud and a lier.
- I’d trust him to pull some hilarious stunt, like run down the main corridors of the Capitol building carrying a tiger cub, screaming, “NO COMMENT! NO COMMENT!” then run into an elevator, dodging shocked reporters, or something crazy-ass shit like that, lol.
  
  You mean to tell me he didn't do that already?
Is he growing out that neck beard to look the part?
I for one think we should support our three time hackeysack world champion who also invented biscuits and gravy.
- Don’t forget world champion underwater basket weaver
Watch him be the one that starts the electoral schism of the Republican party
Isn’t he going to be too busy defending himself against the Feds? I’m pretty sure he will be in Federal pound me in the ass prison before long.
So when the election results come in, we’ll get detailed, specific numbers on exactly how much people don’t like him. Cool.
