I have to admit, she's my favorite MAGA:

  • Getting drunk and crazy,

  • Jacking off Democrats in theaters,

  • Loud dysfunctional family who can't stay out of jail,

  • Eternally baffled by real politicians

She's the only authentic one of the whole nest of snakes.

It'd be much more entertaining if she wasn't trying to be my representative. Maybe if she was a WWE superstar, then I'd find her more amusing.

You missed Shitty mother who raised a dirtbag kid

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

So, like a faulty Sarah Palin who made all the same choices was but was somehow not helped by any of them?

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 23 points 7 months ago

They're funny when they're ineffectual.

[-] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

It's kinda like she's being solely directed by her subconscious. Pure, naked debauchery.

[-] noisefree@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Don't do Virginia Foxx dirty like that...

[-] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 109 points 7 months ago

She's trailer trash. Of course she over indulges and can't handle her booze. That's staple trailer trash behavior. This stupid jackass would fit right in on the real housewives of West Virginia. People like her are the face of the modern Republican party.

Hey. You just insulted my entire state. But also yes.

Edit: Would people watch RHOWV / should I shoot a pilot episode to cash in on that?

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 24 points 7 months ago

Went to college with a lot if kids from West Virginia.

None went back after they graduated. There's a lot of bleak states, but WV is probably the bleakest.

[-] force@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

west virginia, mississippi, alabama, and louisiana are completely irredeemable, there is no reason to live there. probably idaho and now florida and texas too

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I don't disagree with you, but for my own mental health, I have to. I'm stuck here for multiple reasons (for the foreseeable future, anyway), so I'm doing my best to push for positive changes. The biggest thing holding us back is voter apathy, so my focus has mostly been on getting people registered and to actually show up to vote (picture someone trying to herd cats).

One recent thing that gave me some hope was the rejection of four state constitutional amendments last year. All four of them were pretty bad, and they were all rejected by the voters.

In order for those to be on the ballot, they had to spell out the proposed changes rather than just put the magic "R" next to them. Given actual information to vote on, rather than a party, the majority came together to vote "no" on them.

So that tells me there is hope, albeit slim, that most people here really do want positive things and will vote sanely if they're actually informed.

[-] lengau@midwest.social 13 points 7 months ago

West Virginia is pretty at least, which is more than I can say for Alabama.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Alabama has pretty sisters.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

West Virginia has some pretty angles, sure. But if you ever actually drive through it you will be shocked at how people literally just pile trash in their yard. And I don't mean like the folksy old fridge and rusty car parts. I mean literal piles of garbage taking up a significant portion of every lot. It's honestly jarring.

Hey man, trailers are respectable and economical domiciles. She is a stupid jackass tho

[-] JonEFive@midwest.social 4 points 7 months ago

Ehhh... They might be okay to live in, but they are rarely a good financial decision overall unless you happen to own the land they're constructed on.

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

You are generalizing and stereotyping. Not all people who live in trailers are trash, it's often due to economic reasons and the system has failed them. Your comment comes across as classist.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 27 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Trailer trash and those living in trailers are a venn diagram, but are not the exact same.

Not everyone who lives in a trailer is trailer trash, but it is a prerequisite for that label. It's just a particular brand of drama and shitty lifestyle

[-] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago

There are normal ass trailer parks where it's mostly folks getting by like anyone else. Then there are trailer trash trailer parks with lots of disastrous people making the stereotype come to life.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 7 months ago

You’re right. She’s white trash.

[-] evranch@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

I lived in a trailer park for years while saving up to buy land and can identify the two kinds of trailer park inhabitants at a glance:

  • those who know they are there temporarily
  • those who know they are there permanently

These two groups rarely interact with each other.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 57 points 7 months ago

I get it. If you can't even get wasted on free booze, what's the point of even going to Trump events?

[-] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 57 points 7 months ago

This behavior makes a lot of sense if you consider she knows she's going to lose reelection, and is trying to enjoy the gravy train, while keeping her name 'relevant' (with the crazies) for her imminent shift to far right talk show host.

This is the sort of stuff that immediately makes me think of the start of Idiocracy.

Why does she look exactly like McLovin in a wig in this picture?

[-] sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works 16 points 7 months ago

I'd watch that mockumentary.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I can't unsee it.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago

I often wonder what redeeming qualities she has.

[-] JesusSon@lemmy.world 29 points 7 months ago

Dropping tops and grabbing cocks man, everyone needs one of those ladies in their group.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Sluts are people too! I just wish this one would leave Congress lol

[-] JesusSon@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I am pro slut bro no doubt, everyone loves the girl that whips em out.

[-] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 8 points 7 months ago

From whose perspective? Like I would not say racism or homophobia are redeeming qualities but that is what Repubs look for in a representative.

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 24 points 7 months ago

Getting drunk is POSITIVE Family Values behavior that JESUS would APPROVE of!

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Jesus turned water into wine.

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

It's the blood of Christ. Dude was blitzed 24/7

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I think they follow the golden shower rule.

[-] ganksy@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

It shows how desperate she is. Not a look you want for reelection so it's mildly relevant.

[-] maculata@aussie.zone 12 points 7 months ago

“Overserved” LOL.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 7 months ago

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.

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
