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'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.

Away in no manager a crib for a bed.

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

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

As it should. This makes it seem less disgusting.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago

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

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.

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

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The previous baby in front of the tree was too woke

ICE also beat and kidnapped it.

Toilet Paper USA?

Always has been

[–] bklyn@piefed.social 23 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

At least toilet paper is good at wiping away shit

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 16 hours ago

Whereas TP USA is only producing more of it.

That is literally the name of the subreddit dedicated to dunking on them. Or at least was. Wouldn't be surprised if they nuked it by now, way things are over there

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 😁

[–] lemmyng@piefed.ca 7 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Naa that would have been on purpose.

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

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 8 points 18 hours ago

That’s the MAGA version the dunk tank

[–] not_me@piefed.social 4 points 13 hours ago

He's dead ,nothing to see here!
Move on with your live .

Release the Epstein files with trump

I advocate that we start calling them the Trumpstein files.

Recreational activities are fun.
