Toilet Paper USA?

At least toilet paper is good at wiping away shit

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 261d

Whereas TP USA is only producing more of it.

Yup, those are the letters they chose to self-apply. Like when our IT department tried to rebrand as Technology & Innovation, but then realised they could never again refer to the Technology & Innovation Team 😁

But did they have a poster for their Cyber Security Awareness Month?

SupraMario@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 261d

Naa that would have been on purpose.

Teleport?

This is how I read it every time I see the acronym

Well I'm disappointed. It could've been a family event where you pay $5 and your kid pull the trigger of the rifle that shoots another MAGA influencer in the neck. Pay $15 for a photo of the moment the bullet hits

starik@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 261d

That’s the MAGA version the dunk tank

altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 261d (1 reply)

If they'd do it, the target would be some famous lgbtq+ antifa leftist, e.g. Obama, Biden, or, on bad days, someone like MTG.

Sure whatever. Paint the target in black face, old face, or leather bitch face if you have to.

I heard MAGAts are placing miniature replicas of the Charlie Kirk death tent in front of their Christmas trees instead of nativities.

The previous baby in front of the tree was too woke

ICE also beat and kidnapped it.

If you think about it a little, it's morbid and weird. If you think about it a little more, it's just about on par (maybe slightly less?) on the weird scale with wearing the torture and execution device of the guy you worship on a chain around your neck.

If you think about it a lot, it's totally fucking weird.

You think when Jesus comes back, he really wants to see a cross? That's like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on.

I really wish that TPUSA would just fade into obscurity, but I guess Erika is getting fat checks from Republicans now. She sure has been on a media warpath.

Typhoon@lemmy.ca · 15 pts · 260d

I'm outraged because it's a recreation and isn't even the actual tent! If I'm gonna get my picture taken I want the real tent with blood spurts and all. It's not even worth putting my blood makeup on my neck if it's only a fake tent.

minorkeys@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 261d

They don't even have any respect for their own.

Recreation

nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de · 8 pts · 261d

Recreational activities are fun.

I advocate that we start calling them the Trumpstein files.

Away in no manager a crib for a bed.

The little lord Charlie laid down his big head....

As it should. This makes it seem less disgusting.
