Not looking to get into any sort of political debate, but in the current shitshow of daily bullshit, I’d like a good laugh…

    IIRC he’s trying to run for governor here in Minnesota.

    I’m not sure which is a scarier thought. our GOP is not sending their best, or they are, and he’s their best.

      It’s the latter. They started that ball rolling themselves post-Nixon by specifically and intentionally pandering to the stupidest voter segment. Now that’s amplified to the point the whole party is comprised of useless idiots a few of which happily use the others to further selfish goals. The Democrat party is not far behind either. It’s like a memetic STD.

        Right?

        Like.

        Shamwow guy is actually suing because they didn’t put “shamwow guy” on the primary ballot.

        Like.

        He knows we make fun of him for being the Shamwow guy, right?

          I’m sure he knows, but it’s his claim to fame, the only thing that makes him a blip on the radar. Like a high school football star who crams himself into an old letterman’s jacket that’s now two sizes too small for the 20yr reunion.

                Nope.

                Insulting someone is not bullying. It might be an aspect of bullying, but that’s like saying potatoes are beef stew.

      And last I heard , he was giving out copies of his autobiography to voters as campaign ‘pamphlets’. :D What a looney.

          I should add that he’s not ‘giving’ them away, exactly. His campaign bought them from his publisher with campaign funds, so some of that money went into his own pocket, which doesn’t sound like a grift at all. :|
