Because the timeline of the film plays out in a non-linear sequence, I don’t think Mr. Vega ever gets any less dead 😉

> This seems to be a recurring theme with the use of film references to praise Trump, from Trump as Thanos saying “I am inevitable” (at the point in the film right before Thanos loses) to using Tiny Lister’s “Give it to me and I’ll do what you should have did ten minutes ago” Batman quote in reference to attacking Iran (even though what Lister’s character does is to sacrifice himself to save the other boat) and of course all the Star Wars references where the right identify as the Empire. They are really bad at these movie memes.

I’m guessing Hegseth doesn’t spend any more time watching movies than he spends reading the bible.

He probably just tells an overworked staffer to find him a quote that makes him sound manly and the staffer just googles some youtube clips.

Trivia quiz!

Which Trump cabinet member was recently reported to have cut the penis off a roadkilled raccoon in order to “study it later”, while his kids waited patiently in the car?

You didn’t really need to click this to know it was Bobby Brainworms, did you?

If only. Just hide the last part until the big reveal.

Trump is once again rageposting about his Precious, which he now claims will include “Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital & Medical Facilities,Top Secret Military Installations, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Drone Proof Ceilings, Military Grade Venting, & Bullet, Ballistic, & Blast Proof Glass”.

I’m starting to wonder if Trump actually knows what a ballroom is.

He sounds like me when I was pestering my parents for the GI Joe headquarters back in 1983. “It’s got a laser canon, search lights, a motor pool, a command center console, and a double devastation cannon!”

Ballistic Proof Glass? Hum, yeah, sure.

I am starting to wonder whether he knows what ballistic, proof, or glass means (no capitalization from me when not in a direct quote from the fool).  
The rest of the post was bonkers too. Would be funny if it was a comedy show.

It’s beyond ironic that the bigots claim women are too emotional to lead. This fragile, thin-skinned, emo shithead is downright hysterical. And not in the good way.
