politics

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

~~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.

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

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

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

There’s a certain irony there, no? 🤣

Oof. Thanks. I hate it.

For those that may need it:

I knew a girl in college that had lost her sense of smell. This was 20 years before covid, so that wouldn’t have been the cause. Maybe this loomer person has no sense of smell.

Just like how he smells

If we have to create stories so that the American media actually has to pay attention to the suffering of people at Trump's rallies, then that’s what we're going to do

I mean I get what you're saying but... If someone can't manage their own personal hygiene, especially with all the resources in the world, how in hell can they manage a country?

Okay, but think about the person who would vote for him because he's powerful, won't succumb to that prissy woke-ism, etc.

Like it or not, but people vote on vibes all the time, and thinking he's a cool guy who will drain the swamp (by cutting welfare and social programs) is better for him than being kind of a smelly loser. It undercuts the strongman narrative that Republicans are selling.

If a person cannot accept the reality of hygeine and cannot take criticism, they are unfit to lead.

I mean if the felonies didn't change your mind... Maybe the smell will? XD

It is a valid line of inquiry if you consider that not taking care of basic personal hygiene is a symptom of mental incompetence. We do not want to elect a mentally incompetent leader. By all visible evidence, the man has working arms and hands that should presumably be able to reach to wash himself. So if he goes around smelling like a toilet dumpster then something is mentally wrong there.

Of course there have been numerous other indications of such issues beyond the reports of stench.

Indirectly, it's a strong indictment of Trump's mental health. A politician's strongest weapon (and a conman's, which he also is) is their image, and Trump knows it. If he's letting himself go to the extent that his odor deserves note, then you can be assured that he's let go of everything else that he considers less important than his image (i.e. everything else that exists) at least as much as he's let go of his hygiene, probably more.

The Donald J. Trump that debated Biden was a bad choice for a set of reasons that did not include becoming incapable of caring for the most important thing in his life. The current DJT has added that reason to the list.

It's gonna piss Trump off so I'm cool.

This is the going low we’ve spent a decade arguing over. Well informed voters with strong morals are all either voting dem or holding out for the Dems to go left. This is us appealing to the common jackass who voted on vibes and thinks strength is more important than policy. The people who think strongman is a compliment. We aren’t even caring if they vote dem, we’re trying to kill their enthusiasm to vote for trump. Because appealing to Americans better nature didn’t work

Part of me agrees and wishes our politics could be more elevated than this, but American democracy is at the point where we're banking on a Taylor Swift endorsement to save us from literal fascists from taking over. That's where we're at.

You have to remember, anyone voting for Trump is fucking stupid as hell; it might actually work on them.
