They say that people get the faces they deserve (as seen about with these three cretins).
GOP Log Cabin Republicans, conservative gay men in general and Queerty Trolls would round out this freak show in the looks department. Uptight queens and ugly whores.

Jeff. A true patriot! “I feed these lines to my trolls and they eat ’em all up!

”How about we stop pretending that transvestites are anything other than male sex fetishists? They brag about it. This is nothing to be proud of. Nobody wants their child to grow up to be a transvestite.”
Jeff!
GayEGO
These three faces make me feel nauseous!
abfab
Gross, aren’t they. Put Jeff Gleghorn into that collage above. Talk about nauseating, but he’d feel proud being amongst his tribe of bigots.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.
Baron Wiseman
@Ronbo
Dunning-Kruger, indeed.
We had peace and prosperity and now we have poverty and wars.
Joe Biden is a criminal, a pervert, an idiot who thinks he’s brilliant, a congenital liar and has never done a productive thing in his life including FIFTY YEARS in politics.
Bosch
“We had peace and prosperity and now we have poverty and wars.”
Hahahahaha you realise the rest of us can also see what goes on in the US, right? If you’re gonna lie, at least make it believable.
Baron Wiseman
@Bosch
Lie? Perhaps you have been too preoccupied with Joey’s Fried Chicken Summit to notice.
Not to worry, the rest of America has noticed.
Bosch
Lol Trump lost the popular vote every time, and now his approval rating is even lower. And also, according to a news report I read this morning, you’re a dumbass.
Ronbo
I was noting abfabs multi-comment spluge; but, “yes” it does apply to tRump also. Extremists usually don’t even try to understand all sides of issues – only their own. It’s what powers division, drives anger and attracts attention. Extremism only rarely solves problems or improves situations.
dbmcvey
You may have been responding to abfab but Barren gave us a much better example of Dunning-Kruger.
decrans
Little Trumpy McAbs had his AM morning trots all over this thread! My word! He must have forgot to take his pills again. He needs to rub the lotion on his skin or else he gets the hose again.
Bosch
Hey decraps. Trans people.
decrans
Hey Robot Bones. Dumb people.
Bosch
When I was in middle school, a very dumb kid used to try to hurt my feelings by calling me a “hamster egg”. You’re giving the same energy.
decrans
Same to you. “All the conservative commenters name-call. Wah, wah, wah.” Meanwhile, you do the exact same thing. It’s very odd.
Bosch
Hahaha dumbass. I’m not complaining that you name-call. I’m telling you that you’re bad at it.
But funny, your response, because I’ve seen you throw a fit about “ad hominem attacks” before. Ha.
decrans
See desperate diversion tactics below. Try again.
Bosch
“a criminal, a pervert, an idiot who thinks he’s brilliant, a congenital liar and has never done a productive thing in his life”
Baron describing someone who is not Trump. That’s it, that’s the whole joke.
Baron Wiseman
@Bosch
Most people don’t think the state of our country and it’s leadership is a “joke.”
decrans
Eighty five percent of Americans think Joe Biden is too decrepit to run for office. Have fun convincing the vast majority this year, Robot Bones.
Bosch
No matter how hard you guys troll, people still hate Trump more than Biden. But don’t stop, please! I want you to waste your precious, short time on earth yelling your conspiracy theories at a bunch of gays. Anything to keep you off the streets.
decrans
As Charmlegne the God said, your biggest opponent is the couch this election cycle, sweetie.
decrans
And if they hate Biden more than Trump, please list all of his approval ratings. Every single one. Back up your arguments, Robot Bones. It might help you look less like an idiot in the Queerty comment section. Is there an approval rating where Joe Biden has bested Trump? If so, list THEM.
Bosch
Literally just a day after Trump ranks LAST in a poll of presidential greatness. And don’t pretend you haven’t seen it, even Faux News reported on it.
Bosch
Also, I only look like an idiot to you Trumpers. That’s a positive thing.
decrans
Yeah, he did, Bosch. You claimed the American people hate him more than Biden. I asked for evidence for that with approval ratings. Not a diversion when you’ve been cornered. You’re really bad at this.
decrans
I’ll give you a hint: A political scientist poll is different from approval ratings. You can start there.
dbmcvey
Decraps, there will only be 2 choices and you’ve already said Trump is trying to destroy the country. I’ll vote for Biden, who is not trying to destroy the country.
decrans
Diversion Dickvaney strikes again, gang. Biden is destroying our standing amidst various wars. Different ways of destroying, Diversion Dick.
decrans
And there isn’t two choices. You’re literally the same people peeing and whining about Jill Stein and Ralph Nader all these years later, Diversion Dickvaney.

Ted Cruz will always be our Grandpa Munster.
What I don’t picture is him being a father and a husband. Are they all a stunt family?

LoL very funny. And you’re Herman Munster?
