Isn't a man wearing pumps illegal in his state?

[-] drekly@lemmy.world 99 points 1 year ago

Can we just start calling them what they are? High heels.

Why call them heel lifts? Just call them high heels.

[-] Barack_Embalmer@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

That would make them an abomination against Christendom, as it's provable from Einstein's field equations that men wear these clothes and women wear those clothes.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 73 points 1 year ago

They're not heels, They're gender affirming shoes.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Ironically you could make a valid argument he is crossdressing which might actually be enough to turn his shitty fucking base on him. Start a rumor his name is Rachel Santiago an illegal Colombian immigrant who went transgender drug mule to escape prosecution for homosexual prostitution only to enter the us setup a fake name he took from a gold star family and made his fortune providing backalley abortions but only for whites.

What an odd little man. Democrats should hire Oompa Loompas to follow him around and sing songs about this sad clown.

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

That sounds like some Hunter S Thompson shenanigans

You’re short. Nobody cares. You’re making it a big deal with these silly shoes.

[-] MyFairJulia@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Not quite comparable. Trans girls are cuter and rock heels waaay better! But perhaps it's also the non-genocidal vibes that i love.

I personally don't because i never took the time to get used to heels. That and Chelseas are also cute :3

The taller candidate wins most presidential elections...

Uneducated people that don't know that whole causation/correlation thing thinks that means using tricks to look taller helps their chances.

It probably has more to do with being taller as a kid too where other kids looked to you as a leader and you dominated sports/games. That stuff snowballs into lifelong confidence and advantages in k-12 means advantages in college, and a springboard into a career.

DeSantis thinks it's the same as wearing high heels in public without practicing first.

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 23 points 1 year ago

Explore the birthdates of professional athletes, and you'll notice a significant cluster in January and February. It often begins with kids playing sports together in school. As slightly older children tend to have a size advantage, parents and coaches start to take notice, focusing more attention on these "promising" young athletes.

That's what happens when you have hooves instead of feet.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

What a sad world we live in where a man's height is a selection criteria for office. So dumb.

Seeing DeSADIST hobble around on these things...my word.

Pathetic. It's like a combover. Everyone can tell and owning it would be much cooler.

[-] nick@midwest.social 25 points 1 year ago

I can’t imagine giving a fuck, let alone wearing corrective shoes.

Hell I’m balding, so I must shave my head. I like it, other than the possible implications of my support for shitbsgs

[-] Fisk400@feddit.nu 43 points 1 year ago

I think the insecurity is what is being made fun of here. Bald people shaving their head generally don't get made fun of but, weird comb overs do because one is clearly insecure about it while the other is confidently bald.

In this case he is clearly insecure about his height and is wearing silly shoes to hide it. Or rather his reptilian handlers told him that being taller would improve his approval rating slightly.

Just be bald, just be short, just be fat, have a weak chin or a weird nose. Do things to complement your appearance but be confident about it.

I also think it's fine to make fun of a fascist torturer for things that it would be wrong to make fun of normal people for.

[-] LucyLastic@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

As a woman with a high hairline, I embraced having nice hats ... seriously, I love my hats and there's no reason dudes can't as well :-)

I also rock lots of headscarves, but that's a bit more gendered :-/

Just like his idol, Putin.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Yep. You can see the arch of his foot going up at like a30 degree slope and his toes are where the ball of his foot should be in the boot.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 15 points 1 year ago

Cargo cult politics. Looking for how they can be as popular as Trump. Maybe they just need to say horrible things. Perhaps the heel lifts and lean unnaturally forwards. Surely they can get the votes without actually needing Trump! Quick do that to your hair, put on weight, get on TV, blame Mexicans, time's a tickin'!

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 year ago

Why are the toes so curled up?

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Nothing in them and leather has a memory.

Size 14 lifted shoes on a size 8 foot. I used to sell shoes and I’d see it all the time from red cap customers

[-] grabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Symptoms include driving a dually crew cab to the office and thinking you will never need health insurance.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Damn if that doesn’t spark more than a few memories. I’d measure a dude and he’d insist on a size 12 safety toe when he measures 8.5 at best so his toe was behind the protective device.. genius.

Maybe that's why he always looks like he's about to cry. That's gotta hurt after a while.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
