Imagine how uncomfortable they would have felt if they'd known about him murdering the dog with the shovel...

Yea, this is that dude, not the other notable Republican dog murderer... the shovel one.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I didn't have "Which Republican dog murderer are we talking about?" on my bingo card.

You guys forgot about Romney.... That makes 3.

Darn - it's basically a free square.

There's another? Let me guess, whale.decapitation and roadkill bear guy?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Nah, Kristi Noem.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not the same dude. Dog murderer is Kevin Roberts, this guy is John McEntee

Yes, come on! Let's keep our creeps straight people!

I hate the opulence possessed by every one of these motherfuckers. Being a dirty ass shit stain who hates everyone and everything apparently pays the bills quite nicely. How the fuck did all the money get on their side in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

Yeah this whole article makes me sick with everyone involved.

“The more I thought about it, the more it makes me sad that he's sort of a role model, especially for young conservative men,” the young woman says. “And I feel like this person isn't a great role model for those young conservative men.”

Ya think??!

Having a spine and a moral compass are expensive luxuries in our society.

I'm almost 50 and the thought of talking to 18 year olds in any way other then being "old enough to be their dad" is FUCKING CREEPY

JFK guys, come on! They are still kids regardless of their age of legality. You wanna flirt, at least look for someone of drinking age.....

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm 35 and feel the same way. 25 is the absolute lowest I'll even consider.

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

I've heard people argue for (age)x.5+7=not creepy. Seems moderately reasonable.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago

I mean, age of attraction is different for everyone and tbh I don't have an "absolute" problem with a 33yo consensually hooking up with a 18yo. To me, it's simply as weird as hooking up with a senior citizen.

But as this case once again shows, often times the people who go for much younger ones are ignoring when those feel uncomfortable, are not willing to consent, and keep pushing for something. And that is straight up inacceptable.

His existence makes me uncomfortable. Fucking nazi.

Install the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension. There seems to be a version for Firefox and also for Chrome. It's being taken down from gitlab due to DMCA notices, but you can still find it (search for "bypass paywalls clean" and there are instructions, the latest version is v3.8.5.0). I've also seen instructions for installing on Android, but haven't tried that myself.

This might work for you (it does for me because I have the extension): https://clearthis.page/?u=https://www.wired.com/story/teens-john-mcentee-trump-aide-project-2025-chats/

That guy is such a loser. He begged for a job under Trump and they gave him unpaid work. He was such a douche that he had to be escorted out of the White House.
