He looks even more rat like with the beard. It's crazy the Dems think this is a good look. He says this after talking about starving children.

Sometimes your best bro does genocide, and you got to put your arm around him and say: "Look, I'm not going to stop you. Here are some bullets"

every time I see this guy I remember the comment from someone he went to grade school with talking about how even back then they remember all he cared about was being a politician, how he noticeably altered his personality based on how good it was for his political potential

I genuinely believe people like this are not well

I think that within many communites, there are those who are unpopular not because they run counter to it's values but because they gormlessly exemplify it's values, without pretense or ornamentation, in a way that exposes it's fundamental ugliness. I think maybe Trump and Buttigeg, while exhibiting very different tendencies, are disliked by so many liberals for the same fundamental reason. They are perfectly bleak distillations of their backgrounds in a way that leaves very little room for rationalization. Trump is clearly a disgusting idiot hog-child. Pete is clearly a craven sociopathic nothing-person. Both are walking repudiations of liberalism's romantic self-mythology about the great men of vision and character who rise to the top.

i vaguely remember how when this guy announced he was running for prez in 2019 that his wikipedia article changed overnight and included a professional portrait for an image that had never existed online before and most of the edits came from an IP address of his campaign headquarters or something

all the politics white boys are slowly transforming into Zelensky zelensky-pain

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 36 points 2 weeks ago

This reminds me of that week when Al Jolani got Zelenskified

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The resemblance is uncanny, my brain couldn't stop registering it as Zelensky.

I think it's the ugly green shirt that completes it.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

I guarantee this craven careerist intentionally copied his look because the focus group results said it would make him more popular

I won't even lie my hatred for this man has me seething

[–] caesarsushi404@hexbear.net 17 points 2 weeks ago

The visceral hatred I have for this absolute non-entity of a being

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 58 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This sort of rhetoric that treats states as individuals has got to fucking die.

[–] EatPotatoes@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago

Zios especially like to refer to states as "her"

Cover up their crimes the best they can, most likely.

if my closest friend in the world, the person I love more dearly than anyone else, if she committed genocide I would shoot her in the head without hesitation and then deeply apologize to everyone for ever being her friend

this will surely increase his support among nonwhite voters infinityfold (from 0% to 1 voter)

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 48 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He gained the vote of one very confused Black Hebrew Israelite.

Israel is a super shitty friend to have lmao

I love my friends that spy on me and interfere in my elections and were one of the major backers of an invasion that killed millions because my friend needs all his neighbors to be in a state of pandemonium. Did I mention this friend of mine is friends with - and openly prefers - my political opponent?

My best friend.

amerikkka-clap freedom-and-democracy in this house we LOVE and CHERISH our gun-obsessed nephew of a nation who has full freedom to grab ammo from our basement so he can take potshots at his neighbor’s windows when they post on Nextdoor abt how much he sucks

pete's working really hard to get the vote of clarence thomas i think

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 35 points 2 weeks ago

This comes off mostly as a threat to any nation or organisation from attempting to intervene in the genocide.

I got my friend's back no matter what, and you have no idea what we might do if you cross us |

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 35 points 2 weeks ago

So, you can't even bring yourself to tell them to stop? Just "what we're prepared to do together"? Uh... ok genocide supporter.

We have to eliminate national identity. We are all human brothers and sisters.

If we can light up a room we can light up Gaza.

Do you like my audition for Rattat2ie: Twice as Spice?

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago

I've seen enough about what the genocide has been doing to the poor pets in Gaza. I really don't want to think about what business Buttigieg has with the dogs. His face in the last image isn't reassuring.

He's got the crazy eyes in that last frame

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

Looks like he's trying out his Voldymyr Zelenskyy cosplay rofl

How do you mess up growing a beard that badly?

[–] elpaso@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

Ironically enough if he just kept the stasche it'd look alright.

But seriously fuck him.

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

He won't win 2028. There hasn't been a bearded president in over a century.

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

Otto von Bismarck, 1898:

The most significant event of the 20th century will be the fact that the North Americans speak English.

I keep thinking about this with given what Israel and the United States have done over the past two years. Like, we'd have probably been defending Germany in much the same way we're defending Isreal today, if that early colonial history went just a tiny bit differently.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

Hardcore knockoff Zelensky energy

It’s like he’s one of these motherfuckers
