I vote we stick with "weird"

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 77 points 3 weeks ago

Trump hates weird. He spent like six minutes whining about being called weird in his last 'press conference'

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago
[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 17 points 3 weeks ago

Lol thier campaign is turning into "don't call us weird".

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

"We're not weird, you're weird!!!!" -sobbing

Oh sorry, it'd be "your weird"

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

"I'm not weird, you're weird! You didn't even kiss your wife in front of thousands of people!"

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 52 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah but this is still hilarious. This is like something Lyndon Johnson would say. Then I assume he would whip out his massive hog. I don't know, I wasn't around in the 60s.

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Should have workshopped it a little longer...almost made it to Yawnald Dump

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, Biden's tapping into Democrat Boomer Facebook memes from 2014...

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

If he can swing the olds while kamala and walz work the young, thats party unity right there.

[-] worldwidewave@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

Better than Chris Christie who really thought he did something when he called him Donald Duck

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago

Donald Duck, Daffey Duck, and Sylvester the Cat are all bangers after the Musk interview

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Newly relevant

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 24 points 3 weeks ago

I am glad Joe dropped out. I can hardly watch him. Harris is really doing a great job.

[-] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 weeks ago

It's definitely better to have the possibility that one of the candidates can speak a complete sentence.

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

“Oh gosh, Grandpa Joe! Saying such things!
ushers him off the stage
Anyway, did you see that weird Trump speech with the things on the table?! What was that?!”

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

Joe don't give a shit no more. Fun stuff.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago

As much as I would like America to "Dump Trump" (that already sounds better than Donald Dump), this line from Biden lands about as well as "Kamabla".

[-] lemmeout@lemm.ee 19 points 3 weeks ago

The name calling, yes I agree. But the fact that he pretended to forget like "what's his face I don't care to remember the name of" landed better than Trump's random name calling.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 13 points 3 weeks ago

Biden's last zinger of "he has the morals of an alley cat" landed so well he wanted another bite at the apple.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

See this is why everybody with a brain said that he should lean harder into Dark Brandon. Fortunately Harris and Vance are leaning into making fun of Trump and his parasitic sociopathic comrades because it's basically the only weapon that work against them.

[-] reddwarf@feddit.nl 11 points 3 weeks ago
[-] groupofcrows@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 weeks ago

Are we sure Vance isn't working for the Democrats to sabotage Trump? /S

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

He likes to cross dress, had trans friends, has an "ethnic" wife, lived in San Francisco for years, went to Yale, spends lots of time with California elites, has luxury tastes in furniture.

You may be onto something. They better look out for that secret "demon rat."

[-] inbeesee@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Donald Dump is hilarious, but not a elegant attack like calling him 'weird'. The weird attack is beautiful, and actually works wonders with heart-brained conservatives.

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Biden has always been a shit talker. I think this is a one off insult.

[-] numberfour002@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Old man Donald had a vice. J.D.J.D.Vance. With a cushion here and a cushion there. Here a cush, there a push. Every where a cushpush. Old man Donald had a vice. J.D.J.D.Vance.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

Fuckin got him dude

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Listen, I like Biden, and I’m voting Harris.

BUT, did Biden “rip trump” or literally just forget his name here? It kinda could be either at this point.

[-] lemmeout@lemm.ee 23 points 3 weeks ago

I mean he calls him "Donald dump", it's unlikely he forgot it by a letter.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

He obviously didn't forget his name lmao he's old but he's not gone the way Trump is

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

lol, GOTTEM

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Biden is feeling spicy today.

[-] Repelle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Biden has definitely been spicier since stepping aside and I love it. A lot of this stuff probably wouldn’t have worked as a nominee, but is great as the sitting president endorsing his vp.

[-] marx2k@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

BOOM ROASTED

Seriously though... can we stop with this dumb shit?

[-] tills13@lemmy.world -5 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly I'm not for this. There are so many valid ways to attack Trump and simply name calling is unnecessary and stooping to their level.

Not even a good name.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Cuz the high road has worked so well so far.
