If he wants to get taller he can just pop a Viagra.

Are you implying his cock is so big it would prop him up or am I missing the joke?

I mean at this point its either wedged heels or he's a lizard because no normal person's feet just look like that. His toes are just so floppy, it's unnerving.

Also, this article claims little donnie is 6'3". Hm.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Not to mention the size 14s on a size 8 foot.

I can’t believe people care about dumb shit like someone’s height in fields where it doesn’t actually matter. That 5’1" little brown woman in office with her finger on the big red button is always going to be much more of an actual objective threat than some 6’11" massive chungus of a dude with no real charisma to speak of and without any actual political power.

Hell, just give the little brown woman a gun and pit her against Big Chungus on the street and see who comes out on top.

People who analyze each other’s body condition and size and prioritize it in their judgement of everything other people do are such worthless fucking knuckledraggers.

I despise Ron DeSantis and even I can see this is an obviously petty cheap shot. Why not complain about him trying to drive Disney out of Florida? Or his fascist book censoring? Or his anti-trans garbage?

Because even though it shouldn't matter, it's subliminally important to Americans that our leaders be tall.

Me, still looking for who TF cares

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

DeSantis, clearly. Which is why it’s so funny

When I read things like this I have to think about Randy Newman's Short People. Ben Shapino also comes to mind...

Short people got no reason

Short people got no reason to liiiiive

They got little hands, little eyes

They walk around tellin' great big lies

They got little noses and tiny little teeth

They wear platform shoes on their nasty little feet

I get why this is news, but who the fuck cares? I wanna stand over him and look down into his beady little eyes and call him, "Little Man." But I'll never get to so why do I see this on Lemmy? I'll think about Ronnie when I'm taking a shit.

[-] joel_feila@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

So he could have bought a pair of custom boots that lift and look right

[-] uis@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Putin does same. Is this guy US version of Putin?

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago
