Republican, check.

Christian, check.

Works with children, check.

Bonus: Florida.

Yup, that math maths.

Double bonus is from Venezuelan origin and literally traveled to the border to talk trash about connationals and say they only come here to do crime.

Holy shit! A republican committed 4 felonies?!

Wait a sec, I forgot something

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you surprised that it was only 4?

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

It doesn't take much to surprise Pikachu...

Thou shalt not steal Thou shalt not bear false witness

Apparently Christians don't read the Bible

The two male lions (yes, I'm aware a female can grow a mane under certain circumstances) in the back really makes this

Edit: just noticed the Peacocks. Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride. I love it

The gag in the scene is that he filled the arc only with same sex animal couples

I'd say that's the fundamental tenet of remaining one.

Nothing cures Christianity like reading the bible with even the mildest of assumptions that God's moral reasoning might be, at best, somewhat to be desired.

Hey, the first part's pretty good with all the rape and genocide and fire and brimstone, whatever that is. The second part sucks though with that weak-ass, liberal, woke, Jesus cuck on every page.

she forged a notarized document... was she the notary? arent there some serious consequences for an official notary?

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it sounds like she "notarized" a signature that she forged herself

and yes

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's a really weird plan. She could have called for a "random notary" in a non-camera location and had them 'notarize' the document, only to find out that they weren't a real notary.

That's one hell of a lazy criminal.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

Then it’s conspiracy

[–] That_Devil_Girl@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Of course it's a Republican, its almost always a Republican. It's the crime party, after all.

Bob Menendez: "Am I a joke to you?"

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hey at least he did it classy and took gold bars from a foreign country. The cash sewn into clothing was a nice touch as well.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Real old school shit. Gotta hand it to him. Though insider trading would've been easier.

Also noteworthy that basically all of his colleagues called for him to resign the instant that news dropped. Meanwhile a republican gets caught sex trafficking minors and nobody wants to talk about that.

[–] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Rookie numbers. She'd never be president at this rate.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No way! From the party of the rule of law?!

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

It's the party of laws to poors and minorities and gays and non-Christians and women in their "rightful" place, according to Angry God and his son, Supply-side 'Murican Jesus.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago

I'm a Law and Order Republican and this is just the DEEP STATE coming after Republicans! Even though she's a nobody and is irrelevant to what happens in Florida so going after her does literally nothing the ONLY REASON this happened is because of the DEEP STATE!

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

The party of law and order, folks!
