So we’re back in elementary school during recess, in the 1980s.

“You’re retarded!” Totally a thing, back then, at that age.

This guy is supposed to be an adult. In theory anyway.

He might even break out “gaylord” if he hits the right timespan.

Individually, we are weak, like a single twig! But as a bundle we form a mighty f*ggot!

Watch for "buttmeister". Then you know it's real

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

If Buttigieg was on the ticket.

Oh is there a lot of stuff he needs to store away? Those things are awesome, honestly.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

He brags that he's not.

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

Wait until he starts using the F word from the 90s.

Some adults become like children when senility kicks in.

This is true. He is already in diapers.

Unfortunately supporters are probably thrilled he called Harris a retard. I know my dad will be once he hears about this.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I’m just surprised he used that word before the n word.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

They absolutely are. "He tells it like it is!" But they don't like when people call him a mentally unfit fat rapist racist. But they love when he makes fun of physically handicapped people too.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago

Tbh I’m surprised he hasn’t gone for the hard “r” yet. That one newsmax pundit did it on air, and I’m pretty sure it was an intentional “mistake” considering how he recovered from the “slip”

Dems need to start saying he has some medical conditions, like AIDS, cancer, crabs, or gonorrhea. He won't release his medical records to prove otherwise.

Brain worms.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

It's been long suspected that he has syphilis.

Every accusation is a confession.

Israel equals Jewish and Jew means Israel. I talk about Israel a lot. That means all Jews should like me. What do you mean saying I'm antisemitic?
