I have to wonder... Can they even conceive of this ending with them in prison? Or are they so far gone that the idea of consequences just can't break through?

They just do whatever they think will benefit them the most in the immediate moment.

They're on stage, can't get caught seeming like you don't believe the lie.

I might just have to print, frame, and hang this.

How whimsical. They won't, but I hope they rot.

It’s fucked up that you cropped out Dave Pell’s Mastodon account to post this. Leave this content stealing shit on Reddit.

Ah shit, looking at the post it looks like maybe he just made the same joke as someone else. Either way, the cropping sucks ass.

It's just what a family member texted to me - I didn't crop anything.

My wife sent me this variant, not sure of the source, but I lolled...

Are we sure it wasn't his blood?

It might have been whatever was dripping down Gary Oldman's head in The Fifth Element.

Nope, just grade a motor oil. That’s the secret

They just uploaded the mugshot, check the link again. He looks as charming as always.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
