When will they learn: conservatives can’t do comedy.
Turns out that humor, like reality, has a liberal bias.
Remember that time they tried to do a conservative version of The Daily Show? Even Fox News couldn’t ditch that shit fast enough.
“I don’t get no respect. No respect at all.” - DeSantis next week.
Everything about him. As if some alien from outer space snuck into his body and can’t seem to properly work the controls.
“I can’t assemble a child’s toy but I’m the right man to fix this country.”
Also: “all the things I buy are manufactured in China so you can trust me to be a strict trade protectionist.”
What the frock is he buying for his kids that needs to be assembled? Furniture?
Go ahead, Mr. DeSantis. Quit your day job. Not to go into comedy (your jokes are like Vogon poetry) but because you’re horrible at running Florida and you’d be worse running the country.
Guess we can add ‘comedy’ to ‘politics’ as the things Ron can’t do.
Much as I enjoyed his latest word salad, I’m intrigued to know which kid’s toys need assembling with “a new, a new, um, screwdriver.”?
ETA: Unless he’s really fucking useless at lego.
Did the Governor of Florida admit to being bad at building things?
Ron DeSantis, screwdriver in hand, looks up from a pile of brightly-colored plastic blocks. An expression of growing understanding creeps across his face. He looks down at the screwdriver, then at the blocks, then the screwdriver again. “Sonofab–” he mutters.
“Never buying that goddam jigsaw again…”
Maybe it’s that age-old issue of remembering if you bought double A batteries or triple A. I guess Ron finds it confusing that he can’t get some batteries. to fit in the slot while others just keep falling out,
I found it odd that only the word of his monologue was labeled.as unintelligible. At what point was any of it considered intelligible?
Gawd, it makes me literally gnaw my teeth out that this guy is a national political “front runner.”
Here’s the party of personal responsibility, people! “I buy shit from China for my kids, though I’m principally opposed to it, and can’t even assemble it, and then it breaks! I blame the liberals!”
I’ve assembled many a toy for the kids and myself.
Never have I been defeated by the instructions or the lack of proper tools or spare parts (that’s what the “extras jar” is for).
As @MBrody notes, not very impressive admitting to being incapable of assembling a toy.
