How does “left handed compliment” factor into this?
I’m willing to test that hypothesis…
(That was my line decades ago when someone asked me if someone could still be a progressive if they suddenly became rich.)
Beats me. I was just throwing out what I thought he was trying to say.
I wonder if the better biter was a noodle eating poodle.
I see no reason to think it was a mis-speak. The fact that we haven’t heard it before doesn’t mean much. He’s a young person with a significantly different vernacular than we old farts. It’s quite hard to search for other examples of this usage because it’s a single common word (I tried), but there’s an entry with this meaning for “left” in Urban Dictionary.
Sure, a stupid motherfucker, but also one frighteningy fucked-up fucking freak, to put it mildly.
One of the scarier subjects John Oliver has had to deal with, this bozo is theatening to become maybe the next president of Argentina. Recently JO did one of the most riveting, eye-opening, you-have-to-be-freaking-kidding-me pieces on this unhinged, raving, loony psycho.
(tiktok seemd to be the only post-broadcast source I could find)
Only article I could find without cookies pop-ups was this NYT article on him.
Also, he likes wielding chainsaws at rallies, as some of his fuckwit followers do the same, sometimes in chainsaw “costumes”, and other dumb shittery that actually John Oliver’s segment seems to delve further into. (Surprised I was able to read the NYT article and hope others have the same luck I did)
ETA: IIRC @Frodo is from there and anything they can add would be awesome.
Now missing the editing window…
Only now completely watched the tiktok thing, and doesn’t have the full JO segment, which also showed the subhuman telling some interviewer something - IIRC in my daze of really trying not recall - about how men should hold back their orgasms for at least 45 minutes, and that he himself comes only once every three months, and other gross shit from that eye-linered, hair-pouffed (like Don’s?), bloated creepo that I really don’t wanna dredge up any further.
You might want to read Frodo’s thread!
Oops. Thanks.
Indianapolis woman plows her car into a Black Israelite school because she thinks it’s connected to Israel.
It will be interesting to see if a hate crime enhancement can be attached based on her false belief that she was attacking Jews, even though in fact these were nasty bigots who probably hate pretty much the same things she hates. Perhaps logically there should be a hate crime “de-enhancement”, on the grounds that we should be encouraging violent bigots to attack one another rather than decent people.
Nice idea, but it will fail unless we can get all the violent bigots to carry signs. “Here’s your sign!”
Except, unfortunately, that violent bigots also have children. And there were some in the building that she drove into.
Yeah, a murder charge doesn’t get “de-enhanced” if the perpetrator accidentally murders the wrong person. We should not be selectively adjusting criminal charges based on how much we personally feel a particular victim “deserved” the attack on them.
George Santos says he’s going to prove his grandparents survived the Holocaust:
Rep. George Santos is doubling down once again on his claims that he has Jewish ancestry. This time, the embattled New York Republican says he’s sure his grandparents fled the Holocaust — he just needs to get the “last pieces” of proof together.
Santos told CNN’s Manu Raju, in an interview that aired on Sunday, that he has hired genealogists to verify his Jewish heritage.
“Is there documentation of this?” Raju asked Santos.
“Oh that’s what I spent the last 10 months doing, putting together, but unfortunately, Ukraine is in the middle of a freaking war, and my grandfather comes from Ukraine,” Santos said, referencing the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Ukraine? Open the envelope, Carnac!
CNN reported in December 2022 that Santos’ maternal grandparents were born in Brazil, citing information from several sources such as genealogy platforms MyHeritage and Geneanet.
Oh, and Ukraine’s in a war so it’s hard to verify information? How convenient. 
That explains everything! I think most people don’t really appreciate just how difficult it is to find the records of Brazilian citizens in Germany, in Ukraine when there’s a war going on. Cut the guy some slack.
Do we already know that Sleepy Joe and Hunter are using their corrupt powers of corruption to make Ukraine ‘lose’ Santos’ grandparents docs?
Yeah. Those evil Jew-ish Nazis running Ukraine in such a manner to oppress those poor ethnic Russians who happen to be there because Russia, er the USSR forced their grandparents and great-grandparents to flee, er leave Mother Russia. You really can’t put anythinig past “them”. The horror!
Talkin’ 'bout Shaft George Soros
(Then we can dig it)
My father survived the Holocaust by living in the US at the time. Not being Jewish may have helped too.
