    Going to repeat this every time this creep comes up: Jesse Watters pursued his current wife while “happily” married to his previous one. His idea to get a date with her was to deflate her tires so she would be forced to get a ride home with him.

          It also works really well because of the implications. She can’t walk home, so she has to ride with him. Then, you know… There’s only one tasty treat left on the menu.

      could maybe just buy a generic camo hat and print/do embroidery on to it

      edit: you can still donate the equivalent price of the real hat to the campaign, obviously

    In the caption to one of the pictures, the (R) designation for Republican got auto-corrected to a registered trademark symbol. The text formatting below may match the article depending on your instance.

    Harold Ford Jr (L) and Jesse Watters ® had an awkward exchange on Fox New’s The Five on Thursday (Fox News/White Dudes for Harris)

    Edit: Fixed formatting thanks to @[email protected].

      Escape the open parenthesis by prefixing it with a backslash, like such

      \(R)

      To prevent the autocorrect to ® and produce (R) instead

        Using Mbin through a browser, I see it as (R) in my post (capital R inside parentheses). Are you saying my earlier comment with no escape character renders as the trademark symbol for you?

        Regardless, it’s rendered incorrectly in the article’s picture caption.

          Correct, for me it’s showing in both your text and the quoted text as the registered trademark symbol rather than being the (R) designation.

    Hosts slammed the hat as a “Maga merch rip-off” of Donald Trump’s red Make America Great Again cap,

    Are these motherfuckers trying to claim ownership over the concept of branded baseball caps?

      i dunno what’s got you upset up but i and all my homies are extremely entertained watching these shitty bastard pig chud scumbags squirm and flail as their best laid plans crumble out from under them. the republicans might actually lose. and if they do, I will be laughing SO hard. don’t mistake me for a fan of the democrat party though; taking the bluedogs out to kristi noem’s gravel pit is definitely ALSO on the docket. It’s just important that we exterminate the fascists first. THEN we can commence flaying alive the centrist toadies who bent over backwards to accommodate them.

      Business before Pleasure, y’know?
