Joe Exotic posts on instagram that his husband was deported by ICE after years of shilling for Donald Trump.
This is my favourite one so far. Fuck Joe Exotic.

It's an older meme, but it checks out.
I can definetely still hear this one!
“I am never gonna financially recover from this situation.”
good ol' create problem, sell solution
I doubt that Joe Exotic has been married at any time in 2025
It seems they were not married as of 1st November 2024
Marriage isn't a legal construct. The government doesn't have the right to own people's relationships. They can say they do, it doesn't make it true.
Sorry guys, I agree with this take. The tricky part is the legal stuff tied to "single" or "married", etc but we shouldn't have distinguished based on that anyway.
Fine, but they can refer to each other as husbands if they like
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.
That's bullshit. The government shouldn't be deporting people for refusing to participate in their system of regulating love. Just let people live where they want.
I think that even if they were legally married, there are instances where they can still be deported. If the person went into or stayed in America "illegally", they can be deported regardless of marriage status.
Note that might have legal consequences: if they expressed that in a court session it might be considered perjury or contempt of court. In general, people don't like being mislead, so using sentences that are easy to misinterpret when you could have used a more straightforward sentence will probably lead to trouble.
Some consequences of "represent[ing] to others that the parties are married" can be considered quite negative: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/no-home-or-kids-together-but-couple-still-spouses-appeal-court-rules https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-law_marriage_in_the_United_States

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

Does this mean trans-rape is 21st century lynching?
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

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.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving piece of shit. Zero sympathy.
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.
i thought a tiger would eat his face, but eventually turned out to be a leopard
Aren't people married to citizens also citizens? Not officially married?
No, marriage to a U.S. citizen does not automatically make someone a U.S. citizen. Marriage to a U.S. citizen makes the spouse eligible for U.S. lawful permanent residence through a process with a lot of paperwork and waiting. After 3 years of lawful permanent residence they become eligible for citizenship if the couple remains married.
but mah sitcomes :P ok ty.
Joe Exotic really seems to be leaning into leopards these days.
