the brain worm made him do it.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There’s no call to besmirch the brain worm now

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

well, it was just a matter of survival. the rotting whale had more to feed off of. he was dying from starvation.

it's not the brain worms fault that RFK can't follow simple instructions....

I think we need to get as many people together as possible and show up at trump rallies carrying large signs with this written on them.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Just make a bunch that look like trump campaign signage.

They’d be angry if they could read,

Now, now, there’s no call to bring the whale into it

When is the deadline for that?

As a Canadian, I have the luxury of just loathing this guy for the dead bear and now this. It must be pretty terrifying for USians to think this guy was almost on the ballot.

Don't most anti-social personality types who murder animals stick to small animals like cats and dogs and birds? I don't really want to know what murdering massive animals mean.

Well Michigan and Wisconsin have already denied his withdrawal from the presidential ballot, so I think that running as a VP is dead like the bear in his trunk.

If Trumple Thinskin wins reelection he'll get some high appointment within the government.

These guys are like the bottom of the barrel supervillain rejects from the Venture Brothers universe.

Honestly Brickfrog would be an improvement

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Are we sure he has never tortured live animals?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Considering they said he likes to "study" these things, no we aren't sure.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Only dead ones afaik

If you’re gonna bring a chainsaw to the beach, you’re gonna use it

Better than using a bunch of dynamite on a whale carcass... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6CLumsir34

I mean, what else are you supposed to do with a giant dead whale carcass. You cant let it sit there and rot forever. Blow it up. Make it all manageable. Pick and choose, sit and lose, all you different crews. Chicks and dudes, who you think is really kickin' tunes Picture you getting down in a picture tube... Like you lit the fuse, you think it's fictional? Mystical? Maybe.
