This doesn’t piss me off, since I don’t go to Dairy Queen. Nevertheless…

I love me a banana split Blizzard.

The right is proud of its ignorance.

I wouldn’t say this makes me mad per se but it is a pretty astounding display of Trump’s ignorance. He was in Vegas and told the locals that they might have the ocean someday:

As I recall, when Biden turned the Blizzard upside down, the right wing noise machine cited it as proof that he was senile, or evil, or something.

I totally want to try one, but I never get them 'cause I’m driving home and it’d be melted before I get there. All that to ask: Don’t they turn it upside down before they give it to you?

Similar to the joke: President Biden walked across the Patomic today breathlessly reported by mainstream media. Faux News headline was, “Biden can’t swim”.

I’ve always said that if Joe found a cure for cancer in his spare time, the conservative news stories would be about him torturing and killing lab rats.

They’re supposed to. But it doesn’t always happen.

Now, of all the things to criticize Trump for, not knowing about DQ Blizzards would usually be pretty damned low on my list. It’s not a quality I expect from everybody.

But considering what an aficionado of fast food he is - well known for his McDonald’s habit and going so far as to serve heaping tables from several different places to national championship team visitors at the White House - this one is totally fair game as far as I’m concerned.

Yes. If it doesn’t fall out, you’re good.

If it does fall out, you’re clearly the Spawn of Satan. So Joe is in the clear.

Yes they do. In fact, they’re required to if I’m not mistaken. However, ten minutes later, all bets are off.

They used to, even back around 30 years ago. I haven’t had one in a long time, but turning them upside down was definitely used as a selling feature.

What I don’t get is why trump’s followers think it’s so hilarious for him to ask, “What’s a blizzard?” They really laugh at that? What’s the joke supposed to be? Liberals are the only ones who order frozen ice cream with candy mixed into it? That’s not funny, either. I don’t get it.

Jesus and Moses are talking, and decide to recreate some of their miracles. Hop down to the Sea of Galilee and JC gets out of the boat to walk to shore, and immediately sinks.

Moses holds out his staff and parts the waters (ignore what happens to the boat, this is a joke not a documentary) and gives Jesus a quizzical look.

“Forgot about the holes.”
