Wow! Look at all those anchor babies!

said rep has not had a single public meeting w/ constituents since being elected in 2016 btw.

his PR MO is this: he tours whites-only institutions where he has captive or entire sympathetic audiences (various contracting businesses, schools and old-folks' homes run by christian evangelical organizations, American Legion meetings, Republican Party cook-outs, etc.), then his staff post photos of him smiling next to folks, and write things like, "images from my latest town hall! i had a great convresation with these factory employees about the economy and how immigrants are bloodsucking vampires. lots of great ideas. btw did i mention i am in the district and this was a town hall?"

Sounds like redistricting really put you all in a jam.

nah, this asshole would have won regardless.

Quite a sticky situation.

haha a valiant attempt, pplains

Just trying to preserve democracy here.

he really relished that one.

"with a name like smucker, it's got to be a lily-livered POS fascist back-bencher."

I'm not shocked, but I am somewhat surprised. I use their product all the time, not knowing they're the Chik-fil-a of my pantry.

tbh i don't think he's at all related to *those* smuckers. he actually grew up amish (and still has that PA dutch accent).

WAIT WAIT WAIT, I didn't read the last part of this sentence, I was so consumed by puns of marmalade.

president of the Smucker Company, a family-owned commercial construction firm in Smoketown.

Phew. Turns out Smuckers owns a lot of my favorite foodstuffs.

eh Smuckers jelly has high fructose corn syrup. Avoid that shit.

don't worry pplains, i'm sure that the other smuckers are horrible rapacious capitalist scumbags, too.

They're rampant in the area of Ohio where my grandma lives, and yes they are awful

It's quite jarring how far some of these families go.

saints preserve us

lloyd smucker more like *adopts generic east coast accent* boid (bird) fucker

his social media is filled with comments from supporters like this

these people are troglodytes

"they stopped at Ellis Island and checked in"

drinking that cool cool aid

the coolest aid, many are saying

Lloyd Smucker the Amish politician from Smoketown really sounds like something from a Coen-film.

Smoketown Smucker

good morning!

'Smucker? Of the Smoketown Smuckers? The Amish jam-manufacturers?'

I hear he's one bad –

Close your jar!

But I'm talking about Lloyd!

It’s a complicated jam, and no one understands it ‘less they’re cooking

i'm exPECTIN an apology for all these puns

with a name like Smucker it has to be wood (because wood is used in construction)

posting this again in case anyone missed it

gets real good around the 5 minute mark. pretty clear that Tucker is not used to being called out like this.

extremely satisfying content ^

.@JussieSmollett - what about MAGA and the tens of millions of people you insulted with your racist and dangerous comments!? #MAGA

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 21, 2019

today's gonna suck

hooboy

can't wait for the truthering of every hate crime over the next few years

I thought that was something being said to the president at first.

even worse b/c most of the people I see whining on and on about this also happen to be the ones who unironically quote & RT Jacob Wohl

y'all follow the president on Twitter? The couple times I've posted tweets I've had to look him up.

Smollett is not necessarily a worse person than anyone who is feeling gleeful over this story bc it reinforces their narrative on race, but he may be a lot dumber.

i follow some other accounts that retweets in like comic sans or some shits xp

Smollett is fucking reprehensible and the damage he's done to this conversation is massive. Fuck that guy. He did this in order to make more money? Go to hell.

that shit is disappointing but having this conversation with just about any of the people that would be moved by this is useless anyways .

how many examples of right wing nuts fucking actually killing people and doing horrible shit is handwaved by the right , so i can give a fuck about there indignation regarding this shit.

their*

Not that it matters, but the most suspicious thing about his initial claim was the apparent cry of the assailants, "this is MAGA country!" Um, no it's not, not remotely.

Anyway, who the fuck cares about this guy, who the fuck cares about Trump, and who the fuck cares about the woman from Alabama who moved to Syria to join ISIS. They can all fuck themselves.

by next week we will be on to some other shit anyways

MAGA country!
