[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 78 points 9 months ago (3 children) Trump really likes to hire chihuahuas for lawyers. Off topic but I immediately distrust anyone that wears a crucifix so prominently especially one made with precious metals and stones. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] billwashere@lemmy.world 34 points 9 months ago (1 child) It’s like a dog whistle to their perceived moral superiority. I like it though because I know to avoid them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (1 child) more importantly the hypocrisy of it. Even in my Christian days I had a hard time understanding why crosses were always good and silver. You'd think wood crosses be the only acceptable symbol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 child) I feel a cheap metal also works, but it should be unassuming. I also feel like they should be wearing it under their shirts not openly. "Do not pray as the hypocrites" and whatnot. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 1 point 9 months ago Well perhaps not "hiding " it, but yea, less outward displays of dogmatic purity would make more sense overall.

The difference is that a crucifix has jesus on it. I only mention this because I was hoping to see a bedazzled jesus corpse and was super disappointed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago Maga lacks the sheer catholic drip to try that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] zbyte64@awful.systems 2 points 9 months ago I bet MAGA crucifixes would sell well, just use the tackiest gold spray paint you can find permalink fedilink source parent [–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (2 children) Most importantly, they're all smoking hot.

They're like having a concealed carry. trump's lawyers though are culled from the dregs of the washout, fame-seeking, braindead, dipshit sludge that surrounds him where they prance in and are unceremoniously farted on and dragged out again. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SparkyBauer44@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago I'll have to take your word.
