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!

[–] [email protected] 131 points 2 months ago (1 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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months 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.

There's going to be so many fat leopards.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don’t think Joe can vote from prison.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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

It's an older meme, but it checks out.

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

Why would Carol Baskin do this?

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (9 children)

Well, yeah, but I believe the implication is that if they were legally married then Exotic's husband should be a US citizen and shouldn't have been deported.

You know what? No. "Husband" "Wife" and "Spouse" have a legal meaning that has ramifications in tax and contract law, so I can only assume (especially from someone of his ethical caliber) that using such language is attempted fraud.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Nah fuck that. The idea that the state needs to validate people's relationships is absurd.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Marriage has nothing to do with relationships or love. Never has and never will. Marriage is a contract, whether the terms of that contract is who has power of attorney by default or a mutual defense pact against the Ottoman Empire is up to the betrothed.

Let me provide an example of why this has to be in place: One cannot be compelled to testify against a spouse in court. That protection doesn't extend to boyfriends, fucktoys or high-speed-low-passes. To prevent that system from being abused, you're going to need to have a registry somewhere otherwise every court case is going to be "the prosecution can't call any witnesses because everyone in the English speaking world is my spouse."

Boyfriend, partner, dicksheath, cumdumpster, codpiece, anklegrabber, better half or significant other, these terms have no legal meaning and thus are perfectly free to use. "Husband" "Wife" and "Spouse" mean "we are parties of a certain standardized, legally binding contract."

People can do whatever they want with their relationships, but if they want a union recognized by the government and the advantages conferred by that, then yes the state can regulate that

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

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago (2 children)

These people never seem to realize that maybe he was the baddie after all and instead try leaning into it even harder in some attempt to appease him. It's frustrating how frequently this happens.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago

This is my favourite one so far. Fuck Joe Exotic.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 months ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months 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.

Me neither. Never saw Star Wars or any of the Harry Potter movies either.

Good! NO MORE IMMIGRANTS! But if he had $5Million I would also be ok with him coming back because RICH PEOPLE are BETTER then ME!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

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.
