“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said while addressing the group’s annual convention.

What an utter waste of DNA. And that was only the start of all the racist shit he said.

I'm reminded of Jon Stewart the other day:

Two races in one person‽ If these people ever saw a Pizza Hut-Taco Bell, they’d lose their minds!

Thank you. I watched this two times and now I have a better understanding of the combination pizza hut and taco bell.

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

Just a spaghetti western.

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

Wait until they hear about the Kentaco Hut.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't know, is Trump a flaming sack of shit or a racist liar?

😱 Something can be two things at the same time??? Like a billionaire and a fraud??? Or a candidate and a felon???

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A thought:

If Trump thinks that Kamala Harris should claim she's Indian because she has an Indian mother, then Barack Obama should claim he's white for the same reason.

Too bad no one in the press will bring that up to him.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I never considered that!

By that same logic, I have been rumored to have slept with all of my friends from high school and every gamer with whom I've interacted online

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I shoulda gone to your high school, apparently.

I heard that at Jessica's party, while everyone was playing 7 Minutes in Heaven, we were making out in her mom's car and that our mustaches got tangled.

I also heard that we put gerbils in each other's butts, which is ridiculous since we only used hamsters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I keep my mustache far too short for them to have tangled. They'll have to do better than that!

I do have to say that yours is nice and soft though. Do you condition it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No conditioner! I just rarely bathe and am very messy with mayonnaise

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm going to start using mayonnaise treatments on my mustache, but I need a shower all the time. I guess I can get a mustache hairnet and line it with plastic wrap.

That's why you always smell so delicious!

Hairnet Mayonnaise Sack

Look out Butthole Surfers, there's a new band willing to give Texans a bad name!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Joke all you like, I've got a band gig this weekend with some guys as strange as I am. The band name may change.

But we're a bunch of middle aged rockers so I'm not sure we'll be out there giving the whole state a bad name. Probably just Spring.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Spring??? Don't worry, Spring doesn't need any of your help to give it a bad name.

If Houston is Zac Efron, Spring is that intense stare he does in interviews that makes you wonder if he's high or contemplating murder

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You ain't wrong, but the bars there are exactly my kind of fun. That's why we play there. It reminds me a lot of my ex, actually. Dirty, loud, a little dangerous, and open to the public.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Should've had a cover charge

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Translation:

"Don't bother going out to vote for her, black people, she's not actually black."

If she wins, black Americans will have saved our asses AGAIN.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Black Americans have consistently been one of the greatest aspects of this country so that tracks.

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

It's becoming increasingly apparent to most of us.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Which is interesting considering the criticism they gave Biden for the "you ain't black" comment four years ago.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Well-deserved criticism. The sentiment of "You're voting against your best interests" was correct, but the phrasing was terrible.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

he can't do anything without fucking it up

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This also feels like it's implying some transphobic stuff, while also trying to paint the dems as mentally ill. "They don't know what gender they are, now I guess they don't know what race they are either!"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

I think you give that moron way too much credit. I think he honestly believes telling black people that Kamala isn't black will work.
