Hilarious because Mother Theresa was actually a hypocrite POS who let people suffer and then agreed to treatment with modern medicine that she denied to those in her care when she got sick

She also said on her death bed that she didn't believe in god. She also said she enjoyed the surfing of the poor.

Wasn't that actually debunked in the end?

I used to dog very hardcore Bernie supporters a bit for tying their identity too much to a politician.

I would like to take this time to formally apologize to anybody I even thought that about. Clearly I did not understand what true fanaticism looked like.

Dude Bernie was chill as fuck and his supporters some of the nicest most intelligent people I've been around.

Then came the astroturfing shitheads - a mixture of chapotraphouse tankies and right-wing operatives trying to wedge-drive. This worsened a lot for his 2020 run.

But skip the online games and go to any of his rallies and it was a good message not full of hate but of love and working together. Our identity was always that; it's just that for once we felt represented.

That’s what you experienced, that’s not what I experienced (I volunteered for his campaign), but again, it was nothing like the zealotry we see with the MAGA crowd.

I think this guy works for Kimmel making fun of the protesters at events like this?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Jake Byrd...huh. I guess it was satire after all...

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And here is the problem with Trump supporters, you never know if it's satire or real.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Poe’s Law of the internet.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Oh yeah. This is Kimmel's show. He probably caught a lot of foreign TV folks too.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago (4 children)

This can’t be real. What a fucking loser.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Wait, is he serious? I thought for sure this sign was satire...

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

Idk. I am having a hard time distinguishing satire from reality lately. The right wing is just a bit unbalanced.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Supposedly as he held the sign he yelled this: "Look at what they've done to your son God!"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So it was satire. Nicely done.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Hmmm, I'm not so sure about that. It's likely, but then again, some Trump supporters are also Q supporters, and I wouldnt put it past them to do some unhinged stuff like that

Edit: it's Jake Byrd a comedian that works for Kimmel

These are the people who are now, seemingly unironically, wearing diapers to rallies.

Because Trump wears diapers, and libs made fun of this, so ... if they wear diapers its ... owning the libs?

...

I have a degree in poli sci.

While at a larger level I can understand how a society slips into fascism, at the granular level, I stopped attempting to understand the individual seemingly constant state of delusional psychosis caused by the amount of cognitive dissonance needed for half of what these morons do.

For me that moment came 3 years ago when I attempted to convince my dad that no, no Tom Hanks is not a pedophile satanist who is part of a grand conspiracy.

It didn't work.

They started wearing diapers to prove that Trump is a big strong man, at this point I'll believe anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

this is not reported as fact by any legitimate media outlet i can find and the images purporting to feature Trump wearing diapers were faked.

careful what you post and upvote just because it matches your perspective, else we end up no better than the “they’re putting litter boxes in the schools” crowd.

Would be hilarious if this sub made a bunch of edits of this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It isn't. He was there doing a bit for Jimmy Kimmel.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

In the back left, is that cosplay Jackie Onassis and Kurt Vonnegut?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Tralfamadorian time is a hell of a drug

Basically why I posted said image lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

He's opening his mouth so daddy trump can pee in it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

This is Trump superfan Jake Byrd aka comedian Tony Barbieri doing a bit for Jimmy Kimmel.

But you weren’t the only one fooled - Davram from The Good Liars thought it was possibly real when he saw Jake trying to hang himself from a tree as part of the bit.
