I'm just really glad "creepy" keeps getting mentioned. The first thing I thought when calling these people weird started is: "Yeah, but weird in a deeply creepy way". I'm weird, I don't shy away from that label or feel shame about it. It's a fact, I'm weird. However, I go out of my way to keep from making people uncomfortable. Reasonable discomfort, I don't hide that I'm gay, that discomfort is on them not me.
The gay community has said for years (a decade or more): These weirdos think about my genitals more than I do. They are deeply creepy.
I am so thrilled that a favorite writer of mine is now writing for Wonkette! Excellent piece. They can't stand being laughed at. It's fighting back time.
This article made me realize that angry, unhappy voters who watch Fox News to grieve deeply, are in pain and suffering from loneliness, low self-esteem or lack of purpose. Maybe if we could help more people find happiness in their lives, and love themselves, Trumpism would never happen again. Easier said than done.
They have to WANT it, because they don't accept it when its offered. Their misery is their choice and theirs alone. If they genuinely want to become good people, we are here to help. But until they make that commitment, they are dead to me. They have to make the first move
I imagine that right now at Republican Headquarters they are frantically discussing replacing JD Vance on the ticket...except they can't find any Republicans who are less weird and creepy than him! If only there was a single Republican who never tweeted about schoolkids shitting in litterboxes, or who thought the idea of a global baby-parts-buying cabal was silly, or that weren't totally happy passing around revenge porn of the current president's son because they didn't like his dad's politics. I think I heard once that there was a Republican that wasn't totally obsessed with policing teenager genitals, but I'm pretty sure he got shouted down.
These whackos have been weird for ages (believing a little too fervently in demons will do that to a person), but lately weird is not only not a disqualification in the GOP, it's a means to get to the top. This bunch of crazy whackadoodles shouldn't be let anywhere near the levers of power.
Trump wanted a toady stooge who would nod like a bobble head and stay invisible otherwise. He misunderstood a simple question about whether Vance was ready “on day 1” by answering that the VP role has no importance in the election. Trump has no interest whatsoever in the VP role in the White House. He can’t even follow the question because Vance is only relevant for a few rallies after the RNC. Trump’s answers are always revealing and never filtered or subtle. Vance doesn’t matter. Who cares where his office is or what his job is. It’s Trump and his power that matter.
As a European, it never ceases to amaze me that single payer healthcare is seen as an extremist position similar to invading the U.S. capital.
I mean have you seen our PM? Does uncle Kier look like a zip ties and flagpoles guy? If he were any blander J.D Vance would be furiously denying sexual relations with him.

🎯Yes they are creepy-weird, as opposed to benignly weird, often in a fun way.
We are good weird. We are bad weird.
A guy riding on a camel, backwards, juggling chain saws is weird, but it's FUN weird.
We are mostly FUN weird but I ain't getting no where near chainsaw juggling.

YES! I've followed Brooke for years now and adore her. So great to find her here! Thanks, Brooke! Thanks, Wonkette!

Some certainly take a peverse pride in being hateful.
Ta, Brooke. Keep debunking, we love it!

"...they also are interested in Flipper porn and all kinds of other unwholesome stuff. Allegedly."
Eh, probably. Dolphins are randy little buggers. Also kind of rapey, sometimes. I'm sure Republicans like that a lot!
Actually there is nothing "alleged" about JD's interest in dolphin porn. He posted that publicly himself.
The clip in question. Seems more like a leg hump to me.

Alright, you sold me, “weird” it is!
Don't know why but "weird" sure landed.
They are weird

"They also are interested in Flipper porn"
I missed something, are we talking homes, dolphins, or a third option too horrible to contemplate?
dolphins. It's another weird Vance humiliation.
Maybe something with pinball machines....?
I approve this message. She's right on. Marco Lamo calling us weirder just doesn't land.
"Sofa king weird"
And the ball is going to need a visa.
I had no idea we had such a wonderful friendly neighborhood fact checker in our very own neighborhood! How delightful! I need to get out more!
Sofa king weird for the win!
Or, to quote Hunter S. Thompson, "bad craziness."
