This will only escalate.. And, across the country...
And I'm here for it.
(How is it possible to have a "Food and Drink" emoji section that has no popcorn emoji*) 🤷♂️ 🤡

My mobile keyboard has it. 🍿 Does your keyboard bring up a search bar when you go to emoji mode? You can also try searching online for “XYZ emoji” and if one exists you could copy+paste from there

The stupidity of some people in that article is jaw dropping.
Also, if they shout at each other now, just wait for the SSA, Medicare, and Medicaid cuts that make hearing aids too expensive for rural boomers.
Studies show that two out of every three Trump voters are just as stupid as the third one.
Most Americans aren't smart enough to connect the disappearance of Medicaid and stuff to anything.
They'll just see it disappear, be angry for a little while and write things like "make it make sense", "a suit without a man" or whatever the buzzwords are then.
Then the next outrage thing comes along and they'll bite, forgetting what they used to have.
Just a matter of time before conservative media finds a suitable scapegoat. They'll get a wall of "Transgender Mexican ISIS stole the last bits of New Deal social contract" news articles for six months and come out more rabid than when they started.
This isn't merely "Iowans are uniquely gullible", either. The toxic nature of modern media is everywhere. And it produces as many Eric Adams Democrats as Donald Trump Republicans.
Grew up near Iowa, can confirm a lot of stupid people who think they're smart.
Idiots Out Wandering Around
Was heading up 35 to the Cities last fall and came up behind an old pickup with Iowa plates. Guy was poking along 5 under the limit. I was just getting ready to pass him when all the sudden he veered hard off the road and into the ditch. I quickly pulled over to check on him. "Are you okay? What the heck happened," I asked. "No, I'm fine," he answered, "I was on my way up to the Fair, you know, and I was just thinkin' about whether to go to the Dairy Building or the 4-H building first. But then I looked down and noticed my turn signal was on."

I’m sick of you democrats and your *checks notes* due process under the law.
I’m sick of you democrats
The utterance of someone so desperately grasping at straws because she can't make an actual argument about the things she's parroting from the TV so she relies on logical fallacies to shut down the argument completely.
And tattoos, didn't forget the tattoos.
And not any tattoos. On his body, of all places!
“That man is a criminal,” she declared of Garcia.
“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.
“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.
MAGA morons are the bottom of the barrel
Im trying in my head to make that response of "he had tattoos on his body" less stupid than it us, but cannot come up with a scenario where someone would get tattoos anywhere else.
There are no more dangerous gang tattoos than the ankle dolphin or butterfly tramp stamp

This is almost exactly word for word what happened at work today.
Do you live in Iowa? If so, I feel for you - I escaped years ago.
No, the people's republic of Massachusetts. We're not immune.
Ignorant people in Mass are way more annoying too, because they speak of themselves as above ignorant people in the south or midwest even though they believe the exact same dumb shit
Of all the places Ive lived in the US, the worst ignorance was probably in Mass, because its ignorance with an extra dose of superiority complex

I thought that was their only form of communication
Hire the folks that did the Russian cope cages in Ukraine parody from a few years ago. That was particularly impressive.
This might be both one of the funniest and saddest things I've read since the last time I read about Trump in the news.
Iowa was improving in the 90s, improving in the 2000s. They were blue then.
Now I hate going back, it's not the same state I grew up in. Abortion billboards and porn stores, same as the bible belt now.
The state is not improving but they don't care anymore, long as the right people (like me) get hurt.

You'd think farmers at least would understand the relationship between what you sow and what you reap.
They never have to think about because they use migrant labor

Heavens! What's next, fisticuffs?
He had tattoos on his body? I keep mine in a drawer in the shed.
Ok, hear me out.
David Beckham has tattoos on his body AND is an immigrant. Therefore he must be a part of the ms13 gang and should be deported. It's the only thing that makes sense!!!!!
I've also heard Dolly Parton has tattoos...
I heard Beckham was part of Bend de Aragua

Imagine believing that the best days of the US are ahead of you...
I'm sure improvements will be made, but the United States is dying, thanks in large part due to the cancer that's rightwing propaganda networks
Honestly, I don't want the United states to be a thing anymore. It is time for the nation to break up, so that people can choose what sort of government they want to live in. In my case, I would like something modeled after European socialism. I am sick of Fascist America dragging down my state with its evil and stupidity.
