And I got a blank space, babyyyy

You can tell from the quality of his work that this might be the first time he’s done any kind of manual labor.

What a thrill for him to pretend he’s a working man. Probably got done went home opened a $12 microbrew and really let his hair down.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That's the first thing that came to my mind. Drips all over the place, looks like a toddler did that.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He'll hire a crew of underpaid illegal immigrants to fix that right up I'm sure

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

If it was his house, for sure.

He doesn’t give a shit about the commons, as long as they don’t say things he doesn’t like.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 4 days ago

And he couldn't find a matching colour?

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Painting without splatter is woke.

(I hope MAGA takes note, starts splattering paint around their houses, and claims it's peak performance.)

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 14 points 4 days ago

He looks like a fat seagull after dumping a massive lump of guano on the wall.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago

That's a lot of cum, even for Ted Cruz.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

Sincerely hope it gets tagged again over the paint.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 44 points 4 days ago

It looks like him, but that doesn't look like Cancun in the background so I'm skeptical.

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 43 points 4 days ago (4 children)

It is! He's pictured here being a bootlicking lil chud and grandstanding over some anti-Kirk grafitti

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 16 points 4 days ago

I would recognize that oversized belly anywhere.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lol, the locals are going to put that back with emphasis after seeing this.

There's some old guy who lives near me goes around painting over graffiti like this, when he yelled at my friend for putting up posters one night, i made sure to remind the old codger what he was doing is illegal too

fucking losers

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why is there a period after FUCK?

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

He looks like what you'd get if you shook out every TV-facing recliner chair in America, scooped all the middle-aged man skin flakes and loose hairs into a pile and added a little bit of water.

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Damn that’s vividly disgusting. Well done.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He sure is. I'd rather drink a gallon of that slush pile than shake his hand.

Nah perfect opportunity to stink palm the fucker

We don't want him here in Houston. How much did this fucking photo-op cost the state?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

He made it worse.

The story of Ted Cruz's life.

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Alternate option if you're a spreader of dank (see also; shitty) maymays

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why are these hideous and unreadable fonts suddenly everywhere?

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I do apologize, but it is by design. I've discovered it works as a sort of 'captcha' that keeps Twitter bot farms from reading them. If they manage to recognize there's words, they generally shit themselves.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

That's interesting in and of itself - I'm all for things that confuse AI.

But out of curiosity, why do you want to confuse Twitter bots?

Genuine question. I'm not on Twitter and I know nothing about the bots on this disater of a platform. But I wonder what reason you might want have to want to prevent them from reading you memes.

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Because the Twitter bots reply with inflammatory shit or just straight up misinformation - so I don't wanna deal. It's not about like... Making a name or something- literally just sick of these fucks.

[–] _vote@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago

So he half-assed it?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago

This has to be a huge motivations for taggers to tag this again, and add a bunch more around the same area.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

How about we don't turn more fascists into memes? We already have the Stephen Chowder "change my mind" meme and that's one too many.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Goddamn, “Ted”, do you suck at everything you do?

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago

Dude had to use the 2m pole because he obviously doesnt know what the flat part of the paint tray is for and would look like a pollock bukkake party if he use the hand roller with that much white paint on it.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

Ew, can I just do the second one please?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Shit, I didn't even think the text was shopped on at first; I thought maybe the tagger just used that crazy paint that bleeds through normal paints that get used to try and cover up the graffiti. 🤣

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 4 days ago

Hes getting a lot fatter. Must be on Trump's McDonalds diet.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago

I'm helping!

I'm good for something!

[–] Hominine@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I drink beer on that bridge. Fuck.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why does he have two paint trays filled with the same paint for a section of that size and did he apply it with the roller or did he just literally throw the paint at it?

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Looks like one was a tray and one was a cover. Probably had the cover in the tray, didn't secure it or it was the wrong size or shape, and was having problems. So, he took the cover out and just used the tray. I'm sure he had no idea what he was doing.

I zoomed in to check and yeah, that’s a paint tray cover. Jesus fuckin’ christ…
