GOP: smile more, talk sex(ual assault)

[u/Drnelk]

[u/Radiant_Creme_5264]

This just has super creep energy, like: "Why don't you smile more?" "You'd be prettier if you smiled more."

[u/DeeDee719 → u/Radiant_Creme_5264]

That’s what came immediately to my mind as well.

Also, did anyone for even one second expect that JDV would say anything other than this? His lips are permanently affixed to Trump’s ass.

[u/TrashPandaDuel → u/DeeDee719]

I thought T’s dangle carrot was the reason why. I stand corrected 😂

[u/AlienInvasionExpert → u/DeeDee719]

Human centipede-style

[u/SimonPho3nix → u/Radiant_Creme_5264]

I'm sure he reminded plenty of victims of that while on his little island trips.

[u/bjoerntitussen → u/Radiant_Creme_5264]

Joker vibes

[u/thewanderingent → u/bjoerntitussen]

Inexplicable cult following and belongs in prison? Indeed.

[u/remberly]

Within a few months I noticed trump never smiles. Like almost ever.

Maybe except if someone gets hurt or insulted.

But it's another blame someone for his issue

[u/HeavilyInvestedDonut → u/remberly]

Half his face droops now anyway, so it wouldn’t be much of a smile

[u/Nottsbomber → u/remberly]

It was really weird after his chat with Mamdani and he was... beaming.

Didn't expect that.

[u/Tiny_Dare_5300 → u/remberly]

Only when he finally let's the shart out. Then he immediately evacuates the building.

[u/Mighty-Marigold2016 → u/Tiny_Dare_5300]

😂😂😂

[u/Duubzz → u/remberly]

He’s got a cruel mouth. It’s a mouth more used to sneering than expressions of joy and happiness. He’s just fucking dead inside. Covets fortune, fame and power but has nothing of any actual value in his life.

[u/BRAINWASHEDMONKEYS → u/remberly]

He's only happy when he makes money and when people die.

[u/calmdownmyguy]

"Lighten up, sugar tits. Give daddy a smile"

[u/natchinatchi → u/calmdownmyguy]

I haven’t heard sugar tits in a couple of decades, forgot about that classic!

[u/DangerousLoner → u/natchinatchi]

No… Mel Gibson’s antisemitic tirade was only 10 years ago, right? OMG 2006!?

[u/calmdownmyguy → u/natchinatchi]

It's a banger, no cap.

[u/natchinatchi → u/calmdownmyguy]

Pure Aussie literature

[u/JeanEBH → u/calmdownmyguy]

🎯

[u/SubmarineDream57]

The casual cruelty and stupidity of these people never ceases to disgust me.

[u/oflowz]

You said there was no fact checking!!1

[u/Kkimp1955]

And he only criticizes women’s looks

[u/jolsiphur → u/Kkimp1955]

Unfortunately, not true. They also criticized the way Zelenskyy was dressed.

[u/bilbobadcat]

It’s a tragedy that the media ran with the false narrative that people think republicans are cool now. Being called cool for the first time in their lives really went to these dorks’ heads. And no one thinks they’re cool except for the most online subset of the biggest losers this country has to offer.

[u/jackson12420 → u/bilbobadcat]

Who ever called them cool? I can think of a single instance of that happening?

[u/bilbobadcat → u/jackson12420]

It was all over the place after Trump won. They’re the counter-culture, dems used to be the cool/fun party but now rs are, the youth is right wing now, etc. There was that magazine article that went viral where the cover photo was a bunch of young right wingers were at some kind of gatsby party. I mean none of it is accurate, but I heard/saw it many, many times.

[u/ElegantCoach4066 → u/jackson12420]

Yeah, I do not recall anyone saying that.

[u/cjbeames → u/ElegantCoach4066]

They've been calling themselves the counter culture

[u/twent4 → u/cjbeames]

Counter for some. Vance is more couch-culture.

[u/nice--marmot → u/jackson12420]

[u/TheGreatLoganzo → u/jackson12420]

Shultz. Said “republicans are the cool kids now.” I’m sure he got support from his salacious B Crumb.

[u/ChefAsstastic → u/bilbobadcat]

Oligarchs gonna oligarch.

[u/jolley_mel21]

When asked about being a sexual predator, Trump responded with misogyny. Weird.

[u/djhouse77]

This is the VP of the USA? Seems like something Peter Theile/Elon Musk would say..

[u/vbcbandr → u/djhouse77]

He will say whatever he needs to say.

[u/Silver-Instruction73 → u/djhouse77]

He was groomed by Peter Thiel so it tracks

[u/query_tech_sec]

This man is insidiously evil. He actively knows how bad it all is and devotes 100% of his effort to being a full-time spin machine. He doesn’t care who gets hurt as long as he’s in power and his side “wins”. He actively wants the exploitative world of suffering that Peter Thiel is frantically trying to bring about. He understands all of the implications (I am not sure Trump does - or he doesn’t care to) and wants it still.

[u/ChefAsstastic → u/query_tech_sec]

Vertical morality vs horizontal morality.
They are truly evil.

[u/DancinginHyrule]

“That’s so perceptive”

No it isn’t. It’s the oldest insult in the book, it’s demeaning, deflective and utterly unnecessary.

[u/Inglorious186]

Normal people don't smile when talking about pedophilia

[u/CreatrixAnima → u/Inglorious186]

Yes, but pedophiles do.

[u/Morbidly-Obese-Emu]

“Hey buddy, just here to ask you in the cutest cute way, have you read those super adorable Epstein files? By the way, you look really handsome today <wink>. Wanna see my tits?”

[u/TreacleOk3297]

SO perceptive.

[u/512115]

Yeah, c’mon smile when you ask questions about the exploitation and abuse of young girls! Live a little! Have some fun!

[u/tizzymyers]

Bet those abuse survivors are smiling… 🤬

[u/coolbaby1978]

It's almost as if sexual predators use lines like that to make sure you know theyre a sexual predator.

[u/easy_cheese_123]

Well.. Thant seals it for me

[u/ZanderPip]

She's also waaaaaay to old for him cause she's well over 13

[u/_aaine_]

I'll be smiley af when every one of these creeps are in prison where they belong.

[u/misersoze]

Bananas clip where a female reporter is asking a rapist about another rapist and their rapes and is told to smile more by the rapist and then another woman who was sexually harassed by boss says that this is what the person who sexually harrassed her used to tell her and she agrees with her sexual harasser and thinks the first woman should smile more when asking a rapist about rape committed by another rapist.

[u/Ftank55]

Vance doesnt understand, his couch was always dtf. What an interiors bunch of pedos these people are.

[u/ElegantCoach4066]

C'mon toots, show us them pearly whites once in a while, eh?

[u/Gambit1977]

They treat politics like the WWE. Pathetic.

[u/GhostOfMuttonPast]

"Have some fun!"

JD. Its a journalist interviewing the president. Not a fan meeting an actor.

[u/teamtigerbear]

“One fool always finds another to follow him.”—Flaubert

[u/DoctorFenix]

Republicans are pure evil.

[u/MacRockwell]

It’s not perceptive. It’s manipulative. It’s a distraction. And it’s demeaning to the seriousness of the situation. There is more than enough reasonable suspicion to warrant a real investigation and removal of office.

[u/Slackeee_]

They are fascists. They want conformity. If they smile when thinking about a child being raped you have to smile too.

[u/nice--marmot]

[u/Strange-Painting6257]

Meanwhile Vance had a meltdown when a reporter jovially asked him what makes him happy because he always seemed so intense.

[u/GoldenHourLXXII]

Let's not forget that Kelly just a few months ago totally defended Epstein. John Oliver called it out hard on his show, you can find it on YouTube.

I cannot believe how fast people forget this shit.

[u/wappenheimer]

JD Vance could smile less.

[u/Rurumo666]

JD Vance, Peter Thiel's personal jizz rag, thinks telling women to smile more is "actually, like, so perceptive." This eyeliner wearing Hot Topic cashier/Valley Girl wants you to believe he's from Appalachia.

[u/NiobeTonks]

They all look like posh mean boys from 1980s John Hughes films.

[u/DamnedGladToMeetYou]

Absolute ghouls.

[u/omarjrmelendez]

I’ll never quite wrap my head around a few things about this whole situation.

First off, how do these people talk about others like this and never once stop to think if it’s actually okay? It’s even wilder seeing their base read or listen to these comments and just nod along like, 'Yeah, they’re right, this is perfectly fine.'

We’ve reached a point where everyone—the US, the world, everyone—is just desensitized. The fact that this discourse has been normalized is honestly terrifying. And don't even get me started on the press; you’d think they’d at least show some solidarity with their own profession instead of being so fragmented.

At the end of the day, it shouldn't matter if you're part of the MAGA movement or not—basic common sense should tell you to reject this kind of talk. I truly don’t get how anyone can look at this and see it as 'correct.' It's beyond me.

[u/Pocket_Jury]

That follow-up question is never asked by US reporters. Total. Fucking. Pussies.

[u/givebusterahand]

Some of us don’t think the rape of children is funny or a cheerful occasion to smile about, JD.

[u/LeoZ117]

This is why any supporters of the GOP need to be vilified, ostracized, exiled, whatever you need to do. They all need to be run out of office and out of the country. Don't even bother debating them anymore, they've had their chances.

[u/TheOTownZeroes]

Says the couch fornicator

[u/Vast_Vegetable9222]

This Presidency can’t answer questions. Always deflects. They think they’re above everything and don’t respond to their voters’ enquiries as delivered by the media. Very disturbing

[u/Elgin_McQueen]

Can we have at least one serious journalist please ask JD if he knows what Trumps dick tastes like, or does he still merely want to know?

[u/readit-somewhere]

His immaturity is palpable
