    For the uninformed, this is funny (and sarcasm) because there’s mountains of evidence of them together. Besides, you know, picking him for AG. But he tries this defense all the time anyway, and people actually believe it.

    Just like explicitly Trump calling up members of Congress to kill the bipartisan border bill, and then blaming the Democrats for not passing a border bill. They sold that one on the campaign trail too, and it worked.

      To be fair Tim Walz tried to point out that Trump voted down the Border Bill… and everyone just laughed at him and called him Tampon Tim because America is currently in its “Too Dumb To Live” phase

      People don’t actually believe it, they’re just looking for an opportunity to give themselves plausible deniability. To let themselves off the hook for being complete pieces of shit.

        Yeah, there’s another one not marked that’s been up for hours. “Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Security.” Yeah, okay. Funny joke.

          It looks like your memory doesn’t extend before 2020. If you can recall further, you will remember that jokes in the 2020+ era may not be considered jokes in the 2016-2020 era
