Hunter should not threaten, but actually sue their asses. Bankrupt the entire lot of them.
Came here to say the same thing. And sue Majorie Taylor Greene for showing his dick in congress too.
I think MTG is technically protected by her status as a Congresswoman and the fact that she read the dick-pick into the Congressional Record. She'd have to be censured by the House Ethics Committee and we all know where that would go under a Republican committee chairman.
I may be misremembering, but didn't she email the pictures to her mailing list followers? I don't feel that would be protected, if so.
Inter-state trafficking, you say?
That seems federal, as laws go.
Well that sucks.
Or sell tickets to view
And posting it on social media
I knew he was trans.
In my experience, trans people aren't nearly that stupid, selfish, or hateful. So obviously that user meant that she showed pics of Hunter's dick.
But I'm sure you were "just making a joke" in which case I guess you could explain to everybody why a joke with the punchline "I knew he was trans" would be a good joke in 2024.
You know what, you're likely right. It was more to poke at republicans and their hypocrisy, but it looks like the world has spoken, not funny enough.
👏
You love to see it. Take notes, anyone whose brain demands “I can never be wrong” (thankfully somewhat uncommon here!)
If I'm not wrong now, I'll never be confidently right.
Care to explain?
Godamn I got nuked for that comment. The way this comment is worded, it could either be MTG or Hunter, I chose MTG for the joke.
WOW ok hahahahaha man that backfired hard
File that shit under:
Did not work
I admire you for letting your post stand. I do the same even when I guess wrong at what might be humorous, and end up upsetting the collective. People that delete things because they are getting downvoted strike me as cowardly.
I hope you come to terms with this middling loss of fake internet points and can move on from your grief!
Everyone that will see it already saw it, and who knows if not, I may get that chuckle I was looking for, or better yet someone will learn from my fuckup.
That would’ve been “her dick”.
Nope, I would never dead name him.
