And I got a blank space, babyyyy

You can tell from the quality of his work that this might be the first time he’s done any kind of manual labor.

What a thrill for him to pretend he’s a working man. Probably got done went home opened a $12 microbrew and really let his hair down.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's the first thing that came to my mind. Drips all over the place, looks like a toddler did that.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He'll hire a crew of underpaid illegal immigrants to fix that right up I'm sure

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

If it was his house, for sure.

He doesn’t give a shit about the commons, as long as they don’t say things he doesn’t like.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

And he couldn't find a matching colour?

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Painting without splatter is woke.

(I hope MAGA takes note, starts splattering paint around their houses, and claims it's peak performance.)

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 14 points 2 months ago

He looks like a fat seagull after dumping a massive lump of guano on the wall.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

That's a lot of cum, even for Ted Cruz.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Sincerely hope it gets tagged again over the paint.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 44 points 2 months ago

It looks like him, but that doesn't look like Cancun in the background so I'm skeptical.

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago (4 children)

It is! He's pictured here being a bootlicking lil chud and grandstanding over some anti-Kirk grafitti

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 16 points 2 months ago

I would recognize that oversized belly anywhere.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol, the locals are going to put that back with emphasis after seeing this.

There's some old guy who lives near me goes around painting over graffiti like this, when he yelled at my friend for putting up posters one night, i made sure to remind the old codger what he was doing is illegal too

fucking losers

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why is there a period after FUCK?

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

We don't want him here in Houston. How much did this fucking photo-op cost the state?

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

He looks like what you'd get if you shook out every TV-facing recliner chair in America, scooped all the middle-aged man skin flakes and loose hairs into a pile and added a little bit of water.

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Damn that’s vividly disgusting. Well done.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He sure is. I'd rather drink a gallon of that slush pile than shake his hand.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Nah perfect opportunity to stink palm the fucker

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

He made it worse.

The story of Ted Cruz's life.

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Alternate option if you're a spreader of dank (see also; shitty) maymays

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why are these hideous and unreadable fonts suddenly everywhere?

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I do apologize, but it is by design. I've discovered it works as a sort of 'captcha' that keeps Twitter bot farms from reading them. If they manage to recognize there's words, they generally shit themselves.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That's interesting in and of itself - I'm all for things that confuse AI.

But out of curiosity, why do you want to confuse Twitter bots?

Genuine question. I'm not on Twitter and I know nothing about the bots on this disater of a platform. But I wonder what reason you might want have to want to prevent them from reading you memes.

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Because the Twitter bots reply with inflammatory shit or just straight up misinformation - so I don't wanna deal. It's not about like... Making a name or something- literally just sick of these fucks.

[–] _vote@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

So he half-assed it?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

This has to be a huge motivations for taggers to tag this again, and add a bunch more around the same area.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Goddamn, “Ted”, do you suck at everything you do?

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Dude had to use the 2m pole because he obviously doesnt know what the flat part of the paint tray is for and would look like a pollock bukkake party if he use the hand roller with that much white paint on it.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Ew, can I just do the second one please?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

How about we don't turn more fascists into memes? We already have the Stephen Chowder "change my mind" meme and that's one too many.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Shit, I didn't even think the text was shopped on at first; I thought maybe the tagger just used that crazy paint that bleeds through normal paints that get used to try and cover up the graffiti. 🤣

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 months ago

Hes getting a lot fatter. Must be on Trump's McDonalds diet.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

I'm helping!

I'm good for something!

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why does he have two paint trays filled with the same paint for a section of that size and did he apply it with the roller or did he just literally throw the paint at it?

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Looks like one was a tray and one was a cover. Probably had the cover in the tray, didn't secure it or it was the wrong size or shape, and was having problems. So, he took the cover out and just used the tray. I'm sure he had no idea what he was doing.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I zoomed in to check and yeah, that’s a paint tray cover. Jesus fuckin’ christ…

[–] Hominine@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I drink beer on that bridge. Fuck.
