"I'm not gay, but" is the "I'm not racist, but" of sexuality.

Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Don't really think that works unless the comment involved is a complaint.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's okay, Jesse, you can open up that closet door and come out when you're ready. Nobody whose opinion is worth a damn will think any less of you for that specific aspect of who you are.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

heh. Anyone who has to qualify a statement with "I say this with an unblemished record of heterosexuality"... probably should just stop talking.

More like he looked soft, like geriatric skin wobbling around the fat tissue of his neck.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

i think he looks scared. just look at his eyes

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know that look. My cats make it when they're shitting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Take a shit anywhere with Depends

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I immediately thought he looked like he'd been crying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

His eyes were either red from drugs/alcohol (which he claims he doesn't touch) or from crying. I can't think of another explanation.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Face down, eyes up, half sad face, half "you can't me mad at me" smile.

He looks like a dog that shat on the floor and knows you're mad about it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

He's doing the Kubrick stare which shows that the character has reached peak derangement. I'll hand it to Trump, though, he's a natural at looking deranged. It's like he's had a lot of practice or something.

Why does this Jesse Waters guy look like Caesar Flickerman

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

These people are so stupid.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Why add a conditional to your statement, it's just weird.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I actually am gay, and in my professional opinion Trump looked like he was about to cry.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Jesse may not be gay, but he'll service Trump because Jesse is a tool--like a public fleshlight.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Suck his dick already Jesse.

Yeah I don’t believe him. I’m pretty sure Trump wants it to look cool so badly that his gaggle of self serving leeches is happy to pretend. I tried really hard to see even the threatening version, and there are heavily photoshopped pictures of him that look kind of cool, but I can’t see anything but reluctantly admitting he shit his pants to Jeff Sessions

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm not even sure I believe him about the "in a heterosexual way" part.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Be a good gay and take it in your mouth Jesse. Daddy’s cock ain’t gonna suck itself.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They see what they want to see.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They also say whatever they think other people want to see, even if they know better.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

He looks “hard” because the Cialis hadn’t worn off. His eyes are red because urine tends to do that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Roger Ailes being dead is such a great thing. I hope he’s suffering a lot.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

He might mean the other definition possibly. Who knows with Watters.
