Did Buttigieg, Shapiro, and Zelenskyy do a DBZ-type fusion?

Remember that documentary they made that just revealed how tragic his marriage was

I've only seen the clip where they're in a dairy queen

"Can I eat the ice cream before the chicken?"

"You can do whatever you want...its date night"

Is burned into my brain lol

…what the fuck? Does Mayo Pete usually control the order in which Chasten (why do I remember his name?) eats his food or what is being implied here?

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

I think it's designed to be one of those "cute" teasing lines that just are awkward for everyone that isn't like a boomer grandma.

So here's the plan... We tell Afghanistan they can have all of our minerals if we can have half of theirs. They will obviously accept as it's a good deal for them. Then we place a live crocodile in front of our minerals and institute a strict formal dress code. While the Taliban are busy trying to dodge the crocodile and rent tuxedos, we'll already have all of their rare earths

New 2000s-era James Bond movie Russian computer programmer just dropped

[–] SovietBeerTruckOperator@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He looks like a villain in one of the more mid Star Trek Next Gen episodes.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

A redshirt who turns out to be evil, being paid by the Romulans or something

A beard is no substitute for a good jawline.

[–] LargeAdultRedBook@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but a beard hides the fact that you have no jawline

...fight me

[–] Sulv@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

He's entered his bear phase

Also I would like to remind everyone of this unhinged article from 2023

https://www.wired.com/story/pete-buttigieg-interview-god-beer-electric-mustang/

The curious mind of Pete Buttigieg holds much of its functionality in reserve. Even as he discusses railroads and airlines, down to the pointillist data that is his current stock-in-trade, the US secretary of transportation comes off like a Mensa black card holder who might have a secret Go habit or a three-second Rubik’s Cube solution or a knack for supplying, off the top of his head, the day of the week for a random date in 1404, along with a non-condescending history of the Julian and Gregorian calendars.

A lot of libs I know are obsessed with the way this guy talks, which has the sound of being intellectual. But it matches the obsession with aesthetics, debate, and the marketplace of ideas, etc (he did a lot of debates on Fox and other recently). He's basically what they think of when they imagine a #resist politician after watching The West Wing.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

My mom is a fucking turbo-lib and loves this rat fuck. "He's very articulate." She never says what he actually said, just complete vibes. No analysis of policies. Shrugs off his secret cave meetings and train derailments.

Just makes me want to odfoofsoabwiskwkaipapqoabbrfug

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

He's got cold lifeless eyes... like a dolls eyes.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Used to have high, high hopes for a living

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

I can see why he thinks it's a good idea, but for now it looks pretty bad.

[–] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 week ago

Buttigenskiyy

[–] naom3@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

He looks like they cut off his supply of dogs

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He looks like Kendall Roy.

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Lmao I’m the eldest boy lookin ass

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

That's what I was thinking, too lol. He looks like Kendall going through withdrawal.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

He looks high as fuck ngl.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

On his grizzled and edgy arc. He's basically like that guy from the Office that glazes the CIA for a living.

[–] crispy_lol@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ratburn from Arthur but an Illuminati

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Phew theres a name i never thought I'd hear

My man has gone from American Psycho to The Machinist

Looks a bit lacking in humour. Like he's contrasting himself unfavorably with someone I'd want to play DnD with.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

I scrolled past this post without really looking at it and thought it was a picture of zelensky and thought that was the joke

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

I won't condemn the weird awkward stage of beard. Everyone's is unique. You hit it and either you shave or push on and hope it gets better.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Do you want some candy? I got some in my windowless van.

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

I hope he gets an absolutely enormous beard like some kind of dwarven king. Alternatively, there are some hilarious decisions he could make with just a moustache.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Dr evil vibes
