Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Because it's dumb, he didn't make an assassination joke, he made a joke about Trump being old and Melania being much younger, waiting for him to die because he's old and not in great health.

It also caused them a big headache and cost them money the first time around.

Edit: Also, he didn't make an assassination joke last time, either.

Yeah, "because it's dumb" doesn't hold much weight when it was dumb the first time.

Eli5? How does saying she looks like an expectant widow equal an assassination joke?

[–] ManixT@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

He made the joke a couple days before the shooting too.

Typical bitch ass hypocritical republican bullshit. Anything they can try to steal more power or control is always their top choice; morals be damned.

And, y'know: because he's a pedophile, a rapist, a thin-skinned overgrown gassy toddler, and just a deeply unpleasant person to be around... Of course Melania can't wait until he's gone!
