From Meltdown to gagdown.

From the party saying that if Harris became president ' The white house would smell of curry'

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I never got the negative connotation with that. Like are we all pretending that curry doesn't smell amazing now?

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 7 points 1 day ago

It's a racist dog whistle

[–] celsiustimeline@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

~~MTG~~ said the White House would smell like curry...as if that's a bad thing. Tell me one person who doesn't love the smell of garam masala or fenugreek.

Edit: sorry, Laura Loomer. It's hard to keep track of all of the Russian assets calling themselves Republican these days.

[–] Cintari@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was Looney Loomer that said it. It was apparently enough for MTG to call out as being extremely racist.

Somebody needs to check MTG's eyes, lately she sounds like she was taken over by Mystique when nobody was looking.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

IKR. I'd apply for a job if that was a perk.

Right now the only way you'll get that is if you work in an Indian restaurant, and bluntly, that would be a massive downgrade for me.

If I could upgrade my job and smell delicious food that I want to eat all day, and probably eat it too? Fuck yeah, there's no downside here.

Right? Id enjoy just about any Indian food because it's delicious....but the again I've also found food from most other cultures is delicious although different still the same too. Pretty much like people, well at least the ones who aren't assholes.

It's not "body order"

It's his shit filled diaper

[–] xangadix@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just in everyone; we will now refer to the fascist buffoons as 'stinky and the couch fucker

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

What're we going to do tomorrow night, Couch-fucker?

The same thing we do every night, Stinky, try to destroy the world!

[–] beliquititious@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This feels like an onion story

[–] MrPenguinSky@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I sincerely doubt I would ever be within scent range of him.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 2 days ago

Kimmel then posed the burning question: "What did it smell like specifically? " To which Kinzinger described Trump's scent as an odd mix of armpits, ketchup, makeup, and butt, reports the Mirror US.

I hate to imagine being trapped in a room with someone like that.

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This definitively was not in my 2024 Bingo card:

Republicans masking

You've got it all wrong, they're fine with masks for certain purposes (lynchings, intimidation) but not for others (public safety, AntiFascist protest)

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oof. Thanks. I hate it.

For those that may need it:

  1. Right click and select "inspect"
  2. A new panel will open, and the text <img ... will be highlighted. Right click that.
  3. Select "Delete Node."
  4. Impress your friends with your new hacker skills.
