Concept of a family
Thank you for making me choke on my water.
fun fact: the long term trend for number of US choking deaths per 100k of pop. does appear to be increasing again after 2017. 🤔
Sheesh! Thanks, Obama!
Weird.
Makes you wonder what other times he's borrowed that wife.
Once the "weird" label took off, I thought it would lose some of its power because it was being used so much.
But damn. There's no other way to put it. This is weird.
I think cringe also works.
Ok, so we are now at the performative 'I have a family' stage of our conservative politicians realizing they don't actually have any meaningful, truthfully held values.
Republicans sure talk about hating post modernism, but they've done so, so much to prove that empty signifiers are the entirety of their politics.
Well, that and hurting people they don't like.
...
Maybe when they say 'think of the children' they really do just mean it as an entirely solipsistic thought exercise.
Maggie needs to tell him to fuck off and find someone who will let her be in campaign photos where they are together.
Hella fucking weird.
String weird incel vibes there.
Weirdos from top to bottom.
Also that syled slicked back hair with 2-day stubble is so off putting.
I think that's the Don Jr look?
signaling that
mascweirdulinity like a lighhouse.Can I just borrow the wife? Mine is totally okay with that.
I think the issue here is, in typical conservative style, they just take and never offer anything in return.
quite telling that no woman will have this weird freak.
