It WaS JuSt A JoKe GuYs!!eleven1
Naw. He was probing for reactions to see if he could get away with it
Comedians can make for excellent politicians, but politicians on the other hand are total shit at comedy.
there's this joke about a republican senator I heard years ago. it starts off with his constituency beating him so hard that his next two children end up in wheelchairs. when the local news picks up the story they ask him, "do you have any regrets?" and the senator says, "of course I do! I have two."
🇩🇪
Just a prank bruh.
Just like when he wanted to fight the leader of The Teamsters?
Yeah, Bubbafred, you was just funnin'.
But if anyone makes the same joke toward him, they’ll be hauled in for questioning.
And he'd want to fight them, like a CTE overgrown 15 year old.
This is a warning, kids: don't let your kids participate in sports where they can sustain multiple concussions before they're an adult. Your kid will end up a violent brute.

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it. <- he is here
And if I did, you deserved it.

And if it was, you deserved it.
"I was just joking..... unless, y'know..... you're okay with it."
Ah, that old GOP favorite, the "Schrodinger's Joke" defense against encouraging stochastic terrorism ....
New rule: lawmakers don't get to joke about fascist policies
No, no. This just tells us who to primary, before the primaries.
Even if he was, it's not an appropriate thing to joke about! Just like it's not appropriate for a teacher to joke that they diddle kids!
"But... but... violence is badass! Vikings are awesome!"
Markwayne will never beat the joke his parents pulled by giving him that name.
Hey, it wasn't his daddy Bubbafred's fault! Darlajean insisted!
His momma Bubbafred, named by her mother Winfred.

Savage, love it.
My go-to bully defense is making fun of their name, it's so innocuous and not profane, yet it still stings and makes people wonder if they do have a stupid name :)
Spoiler: No he wasn't. He meant every word of that crap. He just thought others agreed with him.
So.... He's evil. He's supposed to be a represent of the country at some level. He should attempt to live up to the ideals of a democratic republic. He should take his role as a leader of the whole populace, not just some of it.
These statements are not jokes, they are statements of his role as a leader. They hold weight and power of his office. Claiming his officer's power is a joke about hurting people demonstrates what he wants to use the power for. He feels the power of the state should be used extrajudicially against citizens of his nation. That's evil.
Gee, wonder how well the "I was just joking" defense would work for those non-MAGAts among us...
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
Making the same joke about the senator will result in the FBI breaking down your door. Funny how that works.
Losers will often play cruel jokes on vulnerable people, then claim "it's just a prank, bro!" when there's backlash, like that excuses everything. This is the same small-dick energy.
"It was just a joke, cantcha take a joke?" has been the #1 defense of bullies, since the beginning of bullies.
Was murder the punchline?
His name is
Just a prank, bro
Nah. You showed your ass you fascist piece of shit. (Referring to good ol' boy Markwayne, not OP, of course.)
Just like "I'm just asking questions."
Keep on shifting that window, fascist.
But showing Trump in a casket is not a joke to these people. Their speech is worth less than free.
or having a comedian, show the head of trump without his body too.
I'd rather show him lying dead in the street, in a pool of his own blood. Hogtied for extra snowflake reaction.
Tike to start joking about using violence against politicians i guess
It's just a social experiment.
I'm just joking when I say I'll meet that motherfucker at the Battle of Lamar in a few years.
I was tempted to send him a message asking the same question, but with GOP senators. But he asks way too much PII in his contact form.
No one ever said it had to be real.
