“Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” the spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Independent.

This is the official response. You'd best start believing in Idiocracy, you're in one.

Why do we allow these morons to make a mockery of society?

When I first saw Idiocracy when it was perhaps a year or three old, I thought it was stupid. I loved the premise but thought the movie was stupid and too exaggerated. That it would be funnier if it were less over the top.

I admit that I was wrong about it being exaggerated. But I was right that it would be funnier otherwise because it wouldn't have been so prescient.

Gotta love the Streisand effect on display. Wouldn't have known he smells if they hadn't "fired back."

Are you sure about that? Because every picture I see of the seditious fuck makes him look like he smells of hamberder grease and dirty adult diapers.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apparently the smell is body odor and makeup....which makes sense

This is incredible:

When reached for comment about the accusation, a spokesperson for Mr Trump returned the insult to Mr Kinzinger.

“Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” the spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Independent.

“He has disgraced his country and disrespects everyone around him because he is a sad individual who is mad about how his miserable life has turned out.”

Kinzinger just gave us a masterclass on how to troll Trump. Not only is this a “no, YOU smell bad!” Kindergarten-level retort, but it’s also just an ad-hominem attack on Kinzinger from Trump’s lawyers, and it’s pointedly NOT a refutation. They know it’s true, and they know it’s trivially provable. And I feel pretty certain Trump has been screaming at them to sue for slander or whatever, and the lawyers are probably like “nope. You do smell. We will lose. It won’t be close.” I genuinely hope it drives him to distraction. And I hope it comes up in the debates. I hope the Democratic nominee (I know, almost certainly Biden, but a guy can hope) visibly reacts to Trump coming near them with visible, uncontrollable disgust. I hope news orgs take this and run with it like a dog with a bone. I want EVERYONE in the Republican sphere to constantly be talking about how godawful Trump smells.

Not a refutation... Excellent.
This really is the dumbest timeline isn't it?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

You know they won't because the media is owned by right wingers

Melania always seemed to have a look on her face like someone just farted. I now know why.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would be hilarious if there was a whole bank of Melania photos where she's smiling from ear to ear when she's not around him.

He's an old fat guy with a poor diet, of course he smells.

I don't really care if he smells, but I think it's really funny that they care that somebody said it.

Now this might actually get his base riled up.

But if the campaign said he doesn’t, he definitely smells.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not hard to believe. He did once enter Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

In some ways it makes sense for someone so full of shit he must be overflowing with it.

I never heard anyone talk about Trump's smell until seeing this so a. You know he smells. And b. Now I do, too.

Are we sure it's not some power move from his art of the deal? Like he intentionally smells so people are desperate to get out of the room?
