What a fruit cake.

Yeah, I'm taking that one back. This guy is a fuckin dandelion.

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

But dandelions make delicious jelly that tastes like honey.

Let’s make him something worse. Giant hogweed - invasive species that gives you skin burns and possible blindness if you end up touching your eyes with the oils. Seems suitable?

Yeah, let's also keep calling them chuds

Stinging bush, just one touch and you have to deal with the pain for years.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Dandelions are at least pretty to look at.

This guy looks like a fart.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

Dandelion is also very tasty!

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

Nah, that won't work. You're in our headspace, saying something objectionable to us. You need to use words that are objectionable in their social constructs. That's why weird cut them.

Okay the article is too much.

GOP candidate struggles to burn rainbow flag on top of U-Haul truck while screaming at 2 people

“It’s white boy summer!” the 30-year-old man yelled to his cameraman and some guy banging a small gong.

Jake Lang — a racist Republican candidate for Florida’s U.S. Senate seat who was jailed for allegedly assaulting Capitol Police officers during the January 6, 2021, riots — struggled to set two Pride flags on fire outside of the Delaney ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey, yesterday afternoon while yelling, “Happy Pride Month, fa**ots,” to his cameraman and one other supporter holding a gong on the sidewalk.

Lang stood on top of a U-Haul and yelled, “We will not allow this degeneracy!” as he ignited an intersex-inclusive Pride flag. The wind quickly extinguished the flames before they could seriously harm the flag.

He then struggled to re-light the flag, dousing it in lighter fluid before yelling, “These people need to go. We will overcome the homosexual agenda to destroy our children.” Meanwhile, he continued struggling to re-ignite the flag as his lighter repeatedly failed to produce a flame.

Upon finally reigniting the flag, he yelled, “Happy Pride Month, fa**ots,” as the wind quickly extinguished the flames once again.

“Get out of our country!” he yelled, holding the unlit flag. “This is a Christian country!” He soon threw away the unlit flag and unwrapped a basic rainbow Pride flag and unfurled it in the wind. Someone then laughed at him.

“Get these homos out!” he continued. “They’re the ones bringing in all the migrants!” He re-lit the flag before the wind quickly extinguished its flames once more.

Throwing the flag towards the sidewalk, he yelled, “Here you go, fa**ots — happy Pride Month!” But the video showed only two people on the sidewalk: his cameraman and one other individual (holding a handheld gong) running alongside the truck.

Lang then yelled, “Make America great again!” triumphantly raising his arms while standing on top of a U-Haul truck that costs about $30 a day to rent. Someone off-camera yelled, “F**k you,” in response.

He unfurled a banner off the back of the truck that said, “Save America. Deport 100+ Million.” He then jumped off the front of the truck and yelled into the camera, “America, we are so f**king back!” while a long-haired white man in a black bowler hat repeatedly banged a small hand-held gong.

Lang entered the cabin of the truck and used a megaphone to say, >“Traitors of the Deep State will see the gallows. You will hang traitors. Our country is worth fighting for. We will stand united. This is a Christian country. They have stolen the rainbow from God, and we’re here to take it back. It’s white boy summer!”

Lang is 30 years old.

He’s like a fascist MAGA furby.

...Why does it read like an Eric Andre skit...?

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

I wonder if U-Haul will give him their usual extreme bill for damage to the vehicle he inevitably did by walking on it ?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This reads like a comedy bit. Our most brilliant minds couldn't come up with this level of incompetence.

Traitors of the Deep State will see the gallows. You will hang traitors. Our country is worth fighting for. We will stand united. This is a Christian country. They have stolen the rainbow from God, and we’re here to take it back.

So first of all, they've stopped pretending that the "deep state" is something they're concerned about or fighting, but rather something they're actively attempting to establish.

Second of all, stealing the rainbow from God is so unfathomably badass. We're in our Prometheus era now.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

He's definitely saying they are the deep state.

Just do what makes you happy, then you can say you're feeling gay, by the old definition.

We will overcome the homosexual agenda to destroy our children.

Hi, heterosexual white male here. I too want to destroy your chances of having children. If you already have children, I want to take them away from you, and put them in the hands of a gay couple wanting to adopt.

Just to be clear, that quote is from Jake Lang, and thus that's who I'm directing my comments towards.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

And as a homosexual, I just want the queer kids to get to grow up, and ideally to not be entirely traumatized by the process. Aside from that my main concerns with kids and queerness is that good parents who happen to be queer get to be parents without harassment.

And yeah, by no means should that man be allowed near children

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 19 points 1 day ago (9 children)

I wish there was video of this from 50 feet away to just show how ridiculously embarrassing it is.

This is a grown ass man too

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago

Based wind.

The elements are woke!

Also, Jake Lang is a loser. I can't believe he's still wearing that fake-ass flak jacket without the sappies.

They are so fucking weird.

And closeted.

And also pedophiles, or pedo protectors.

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 20 hours ago

weird indeed

lmfao at the fact that no one seems to like this guy

10 people on his protest's side, 100 counter-protesters

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The poor projecting bastard - so sad that he can't look in the mirror, see that haircut and those shorts and not be honest and open with his own self about absolutely loving cock.

[–] Shindo66@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Its just something guys do together in locker rooms. Its not gay.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's only gay if you do it more that 47 times.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

In a month or....

[–] jared@mander.xyz 50 points 1 day ago (5 children)

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

He's a gay comic right?? He barely burns two pride flags, polyester 😂. He's a spitting image of Nick Fuentes too.

[–] pomfegranate@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Flag burning is okay again? Or just for them?

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago

Just for them. Everything is just for them. We’ve at least learned that one thing by now, haven’t we?
