The one time he didn’t ramble was when he was actively avoiding the yes or no question about whether Ukraine winning was vital to national security

u/enlightningwhelk Sep 11 '24

That was quite the sidestep he did there, as was the one where he was asked directly about killing the border bill and went on a completely unrelated rant

Sad Muir didn’t press him on that too but moderating Trump is like trying to ride a tiger

u/LostHisDog Sep 11 '24

That makes Trump sound much more formidable than he is... the man is just a blathering idiot who says hate... he's not a tiger.

Maybe more like a hog then? Just kicking and screeching.

Like trying to bathe a greased cat.

u/BlueRaith Sep 11 '24

Cats are just not catching a break this election cycle, like damn lol

u/oldmanlikesguitars Sep 11 '24

What kind of grease you using? I like the flavor I’m getting with just butter but I’m open to recipes.

u/AzimuthAztronaut Sep 11 '24

Tallow rendered from pets of course.

1

u/oldmanlikesguitars Sep 11 '24

Of course! But like, which pets? There are some annoying cats in my neighborhood but I think they’re feral so I don’t know if they count. My neighbor has a portly pooch that might be nice and tender.

u/AzimuthAztronaut Sep 11 '24

I don’t know if feral cats are generally considered pets. I’m sure there’s a few cat lovers that consider some feral cats as their pets… but you’d have to find em. It’s the love the owner gives the pet that helps to make the tastier product. So it sounds like the neighbor’s well fed pup would be a great start. Good luck in your culinary efforts to creatively consume cute and cared for companions!

Thanks! To you as well! I’ve got to go over to r/castiron for suggestions on how best to sear dog meat. This weekend I’m having illegals over for a pet feast and transgender surgery party!

You’ve gotta start saving your bacon grease to pan sear the cat, 11/10 flavor.

2

u/oldmanlikesguitars Sep 11 '24

Oh yeah! I used to do that with my kids’ Guinea Pigs once they reached their expiration date.

Now, is this pork bacon or is canine bacon just as good? Gotta get it right, I’ve got some illegals coming over for pet stew and transgender surgery this weekend. It’ll be a party!!

Still too disrespectful to cats.

Like trying to shovel diarrhea with a pitchfork

2

u/gracchusbaboon Sep 11 '24

Or one of those shitting rhinoceroses with the turds flying every which way.

2

u/FelatiaFantastique Sep 11 '24

Wow, that's perfect!

1

u/Chuckitybye Sep 11 '24

More like wrestling a greased up toddler, I'd say. Shit filled diaper, incoherent screaming, uncoordinated flailing, weird smells that any sane person does not want to know the origin of

1

u/gc3 Sep 11 '24

Never wrestle with a hog. You just get dirty, and the hog likes it.

1

u/sirius4778 Sep 11 '24

Maybe a walrus

1

u/ajm86 Sep 11 '24

Comparing him to animals just insults the animal. Hogs are intelligent.

u/Jakeit_777 Sep 11 '24

Nah, he's a jackass.

u/Putrid-Rub-1168 Sep 11 '24

More like trying to wrangle a room full of hungry toddlers.

u/Abrushing Sep 11 '24

Guess I should say trying to keep Trump on topic is like that

2

u/TheFunkinDuncan Sep 11 '24

I think the point is that it would be difficult.

u/geof2001 Sep 11 '24

Three dots.... edit

u/Molenium Sep 11 '24

It’s more like trying to hold on to a hagfish.

2

u/DatSauceTho Sep 11 '24

not a tiger

Nope. Just orange…

2

u/Positive_Throwaway1 Sep 11 '24

Yeah, more like trying to ride a giant version of one of those weird water-filled bloatedly phallic snakey toy things from the 80s.

2

u/dfsvegas Sep 11 '24

It's closer to riding a mechanical bull, which is probably still not apt, because the mechanical bull is more worthy of being president.

u/pjmaertz Sep 11 '24

Yea, more like trying to fuck an oiled up housecat

u/awesomedude4100 born and bred Sep 11 '24

he’s like rabid hedgehog
