I just can't believe that the guy with the double handjob dance thinks bad bunny's dancing is obscene ..

If only someone time-traveled to the 1990s and turned Trump (and also Jeffrey Epstein since he's inadvertently responsible for this administration) into the FBI.

Funniest comment of the day!

[–] bisby@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago (3 children)

He watched bad bunny instead of kid rock?

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He probably couldn’t figure out how to watch the other one.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Was it on some shitty streaming platform? (Like Crackl or whatever?)

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

I think it was on multiple streaming platforms, each one more shitty than the last.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

Turns out even the magas don't actually like Kid Rock, they only like that he wants to fuck kids like they do

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

There were pictures from his party at MaL that showed the Bad Bunny halftime show in the background!

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right? There are plenty of natives in the south whose accents and dialects are indecipherable to me. Like Boomhauer on steroids in parts of Mississippi.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At least with Boomhauer you can use subs.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Not to diminish from her wittisism, is this really "BREAKING" news? Or is that term just used for everything now?

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

BREAKING NEWS : Lemmy user dellish just ADMITTED to not knowing the purpose of the usage BREAKING in reporting. More on this as it develops.

[–] lividweasel@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

BREAKING NEWS: Lemmy user yermaw slams and blasts dellish. You’ll never guess what they said!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

BREATHING NEWTS: Amphibians draw breath!

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Then THIS happened!

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

It’s just used for everything. Sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes not. I just ignore it nowadays.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait... She can understand what he says half of the time?!?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

it must be some sort of soft super power... or curse

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tweeting witty snark is apparently the new standard for what we consider a national treasure now.

Our new normal keeps sinking lower and lower.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When noone on the playground stands up to the bully, that one brave soul gets extra spotlight.

Especially when people like Hortman are executed for being on the 'other side'

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tweeting a snarky comeback on social media isn’t standing up to a bully. It’s just pointlessly publicly shaming someone that doesn’t possess shame.

Alex Pretti and Renee Good stood up to bullies. And what happened to them is how trump responds to people standing up to him.

So, if you want a true definition of what standing up to bullies entails, check ICE’s body count. Because words don’t mean shit anymore.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Just gonna plop those goalposts down wherever you want. make up some definitions and tell me how wrong I am. you do you man.

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

If you want to think that a strongly worded social media post is standing up to someone. I’m not going to stop you, but not a single goalpost was moved during this discussion despite how witty it made you feel to say it.

It’s okay to let other people believe differently. Trust me.

[–] lightsblinken@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

there are lots of different shitty events happening, with different ideas/ways of "standing up"... not sure we should be gatekeeping which ones are 'good enough' nor is there value in comparing. ending with "trust me" is a pretty insincere way to finish your observation and dilutes your authenticity.

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think the problem that people sense with the witticisms of politicians like AOC is that it seems a little bit like the jester in the king's court who's there to poke fun at the king, so that way the peasants can get their kicks at the king's expense and therefore don't feel like they need to actually overthrow the king.

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I don’t believe I gatekept anything here at all. I simply pointed out that it’s meaningless pageantry. I never said it shouldn’t be done.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Listening to Donny mumble and stumble through his words as well as watching him limp and stumble around I keep saying to myself any day now any minute now please Grim Reaper hurry up I will pay for your Uber to the White House please.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I hope she becomes my president, becoming the Franklin, Lincoln, Theodore, and Saint Olga of our time. There are a lot of bastards who deserves the bird and the flames.

Puppet History Theater: Saint Olga of Kiev

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

Would love to see her in the White House one day, assuming she's got more to offer than her speeches.

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

She's fairly active as far as house members in the minority. They mostly sit on committees and do boring shit (a reason governors, etc, typically look better for pres) but an interview with her suggested that even working within her own party is a challenge at times since the Dems are so ineffective as a whole.

Remember they chose an old cancer (?) patient over her for an important position since they do seniority rules. It's apparently quite awful.

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

I think the secret to getting into office is appealing to the people on issues that both progressives and conservatives would agree on. I mean if it worked for Zohran in New York, why NOT AOC?

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe if she keeps representing the ownership class she might make it into the big club some day.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yup, I can't trust politicians who claim to be progressive until they obtain power and start doing the things they promise, like how Mamdani is doing. Until then, everyone is a wolf in sheep's clothing, like Barack Obama.

There are some races where being progressive actually works against the candidate (like Graham Platner for instance) and it's easier for me to trust those folks' authenticity, but I generally assume everyone's a Fetterman until proven innocent.

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If scathing tweets were considered political action, she’d be the most effective politician ever.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Well, Tim Walz calling MAGA "weird" was apparently one of the most effective tactics used by a Democrat in recent years, so...

(And of course the party told him to stop, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory yet again)

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

They stopped him to stop because they don't want to win an election. Effective tactics to win elections is so 2008.

[–] Biffsbraincell@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah there's enough political news happening these days that I wish we would keep the postings to actual news, instead of you'll never guess what he said about her or she said about him, OMG he is so burned this time!

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

In other news: representative says something witty in response to someone saying negative stuff about halftime show. More on that at 11.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Hahaha great stuff! This will surely put food on the table of many starving Americans and get the fascists of the streets

Greta work👏
