Sadly the account is already suspended.

I thought Twitter was all about freeze peach.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 74 points 3 days ago

Not only that but I thought comedy was explicitly ok as well! It's so confusing, you have to ban so many accounts before you get free speech apparently.

[-] mynameisigglepiggle@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago

And about impregnating Taylor

[-] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 days ago

🥶🍑!
But no, that peach has been thoroughly thawed.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 15 points 3 days ago

Eh wasn't this one like over a year ago?

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Oh you're right. I saw the 9/11 and missed the year, 2022.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

I also failed to look at the year, I went by the fact that I'd seen it long ago lol

[-] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 119 points 3 days ago

Verified, so that’s clearly him. Ask him why his dad was in Dallas when JFK was shot.

Its true. He claims he was "somewhere in Texas" during the assassination. Its one of those events where everybody remembers where they were when they heard the news, but he does not.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Wait, they’re saying George HW Bush was involved in JFKs assassination now?

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Its one of the dangling threads from around that time. Likely the truth is fully lost to history

I was told by a highly trustworthy source that it was, in fact, Ted Cruz's dad.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 12 points 3 days ago

Yes, it was.

BUT THERE'S A TWIST

[-] cmrn@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days ago

The first bit of pay to win verification and impersonation was the most hilarious part of Elon’s Twitter.

Deleted my account after that.

"The decision of one man, to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean, of Ukraine. Iraq too. Anyway...[I'm] 75." – George W. Bush

He definitely didn't say "Iraq too". I've heard the clip and seen the video. He said something like "heh, Iraq..." And continues on. As much as people want to make this slip up into some full blown admission of guilt it's simply not what happened. The most I'm willing to accept is that it was a Freudian slip.

Edit: After re listening to the clip, I can see why people say he says "Iraq too," it's not as clear cut as I remember. Given the way he jokes about his age afterwards I wouldn't see it as a confession though, worst case just a joke in poor taste about a slip of the tongue.

[-] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 5 points 2 days ago

Ah, yeah that does make a big difference, and it also makes a lot more sense.

[-] Nobilmantis@feddit.it 3 points 2 days ago

Thanks for this pearl

[-] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 5 points 3 days ago

And here's another beauty

"That's what I mean. There— it's— you know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror." – George W. Bush

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 days ago

You can't get fooled again.

airhorns OOOOOHHHHH!!!!!

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 37 points 3 days ago

We should listen to George W Bushs

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

He finally threw his shoe into the ring.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

I guess this is one thing social media is good for: exposing narcissists to the public as what they are.
