There's no congressman Les Whinen!

Dean Blundell used to be a radio show host for a rock station in the greater Toronto area. From what I remember, he tried to be edgy but to me it came off as crude and mean spirited humour. I think his show got cancelled for some reason in the early 2010's.

I'm more surprised he's still active than compared to him falling for a parody account.

Oh jesus. Dammit. Fiction is too close to the truth these days.

I hate that these days, I have to second-guess myself when I recognize a joke.

How stupid you have to be to vote for republicans in 2024?

Wait, Trump doesn't want a second debate with Harris so now the vice presidential candidates have a debate instead? Or is this a normal thing? I know American voting season is like way over the top so it wouldn't surprise me

In 2020 the vice president had a fly crawling around on mike pence's face, for about 10 minutes, and he never felt it or noticed. I legit thought the fly was on the tv itself, because I was at an airport watching it, and Pence never reacted. It's only when my friend ALSO saw the fly watching at their house that I realized it was on his face that whole time.

Good Lawd thank you for the laugh!

There's always a VP debate. Remember Harris vs Pence debate? Fly on his head?

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

American politics is so weird... how does a fly ok his head matter?

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I'm mentioning it because it's more memorable than the hogwash propaganda he said.
