It does make you wonder how many 'bad' politicians do actually have a humiliation kink. There's gotta be a couple who just really get off on being the recipient of political humiliation.

That's my theory for George Santos

Ted Cruz almost has to.

...so I did the Christian thing and opened up my checkbook to help him reach a national stage and deliver that man a violent orgasm so fierce it’d leave him quaking in those slutty little heels of his.

Lmao the "slutty little heels of his" had me fucking dying.

I'm confused. I thought The Onion was satire/parody news? This is truth.

[–] jwt@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You are confused, this isn't the onion.

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tbf it is a little confusing how often non-onion sources get posted on a community titled "the onion"

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

That's because theonion communities tend to be for general satire, not just Onion articles.

You might consider it a waste of 300 million bucks, but hearing trump call him Meatball Ron gave him an instant hard on and it was the first erection he'd had in years. The RNC all agreed it was money well spent.

[–] Altofaltception@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When did the RNC descend into Idiocracy-levels of public humiliation?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's money that didn't go to Trump, so there's that, I guess.

Chicken Soup for the Political Soul

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Narrator: And there was no soup because they have no soul.

[–] Nunar@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Ted Cruz wishes to jerk off to this amount of humiliation

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

it was time onion did some feel good parody because real feel good news were already on onion levels

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Most of that money goes in their pockets

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, how I love The Hard Times! ...Although, the name has a whole different vibe in the context of this article & the post title, lol. Gross, now I'm thinking about this jackass having an erection! Brain, why!?

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago

Any humiliation is good humiliation!
