“I am never gonna financially recover from this situation.”

Hahaha, you think a gay dude's getting one of Trump's golden tickets for US citizenship? I mean come on, has he even raped any women? Remember, trans ones don't count!

[–] icmpecho@lemmy.ml 109 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

i absolutely hate this, and at the same time, you're entirely on point here. it's beginning to feel a lot like sex crimes are a rite of passage to the new regime, bonus points if it's a hate crime directed at a trans person

What do you mean "sex crimes"? There's about to be no such thing by the end of the next 4 years. Women won't be able to report crimes

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 14 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm pretty certain they'll still be able to report a crime, but it becomes selectively enforced and used to control people.

Or they encourage victims to speak up, then force them to marry their rapist and remove all agency from them in that marriage to prevent them from speaking about it again.

Or both.

Or something worse than all of the above.

If you have 5 million, surely you'd just use that to live in a different country?

Hahaha, you think a gay dude’s getting one of Trump’s golden tickets for US citizenship?

Very possibly, if you can get him in the same room as Trump and he does a good enough job of brown nosing.

The Donald is a notorious queen, loves Broadway, loves gay culture and appropriates it with abandon, and would happily make a pageant of granting clemency to Joe Exotic's husband if he was in his 2020 celebrity heyday rather than the dustbin of Netflix history.

I mean come on, has he even raped any women?

Given the guy's history... I'm not counting it out.

Fine, but they can refer to each other as husbands if they like

Perhaps they weren't legally married but had some kinda tiger ceremony followed by a sweaty handshake..

There's going to be so many fat leopards.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 34 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think Joe can vote from prison.

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 20 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

In some states you can't vote once you leave it either, for felonies. States like Missouri or Mississippi require extra steps like a pardon to get your voting rights back

good ol' create problem, sell solution

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 63 points 15 hours ago

i thought a tiger would eat his face, but eventually turned out to be a leopard

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 40 points 14 hours ago

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving piece of shit. Zero sympathy.

Joe Exotic really seems to be leaning into leopards these days.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 17 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.

Trump was exceedingly, vulgarly, and graphically clear that a vote for him was a vote the policy of heavy-handed and widespread immigration crackdowns.

If he can get $5 million, does that mean he financially recovered from this?

[–] Vaggumon@lemm.ee 31 points 16 hours ago

The faces are extra tasty.

[–] icmpecho@lemmy.ml 20 points 15 hours ago

even my myopic ass could have seen this one coming. this admin was never going to support him

Joe Exotic is the guy from the Tiger King documentary that went viral during lockdowns. He's a gay republican presidential candidate, a (former) zoo owner, a tiger breeder and illegal seller, and currently in jail for attempting to have a rival zoo owner murdered.

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 48 points 15 hours ago (8 children)

I'm still proud of the fact that I haven't seen Tiger King to this day.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 27 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That's an odd thing of which to be proud, but I'm the same way with mainstream music. We just like to feel like we are unique sometimes.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

If more people would have rejected reality tv slop, we wouldn't have had The Apprentice. Tiger King is in the same category of weird, voyeuristic shit.
