Hey liberals, if republicans are so transphobic, why would they build a gender neutral bathroom in the capital? Checkmate!

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Sure, DC could use more public bathrooms.

Best I can do is a urinal

Oh yeah. Totally normal to throw up a statue before the bodies cold.

They are REALLY fucking itching for their Horst Wessel.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Gross, but yeah, you're right.

They'll need to use an electron gun to carve the face on the regular sized head if they want to make the scale accurate.

Shooting a statue in the neck in honour of his propaganda success.

Remember kids, fascists need a martyr & will happily make their own if needed.

You have a statue of MLK because he deserved it.

You should not get a statue for Kirk for the same reason that there is no statue of Joseph Göbbels in Berlin.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 4 points 10 hours ago

Hell yes, sow more distrust and anger. That's the way to unify the country 🤣😂

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago

DC does need more public restrooms

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 17 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Kirk was more a Goebbels than an MLK, and more a Horst Wessel than a Goebbels. And even then, not one who was that good at sticking to the party line.
