Even doubly so, when you think about it. Masks really don’t work against BO, just like the idiots claimed it didn’t work against covid lol

They’re pretty good at making you realise you shouldn’t have rushed brushing your teeth, though – which also highlights what they’re for.

Come to think of it, I wonder if that’s part of why some people hated them so much, because they had to breathe their own stank mouth. Huh.

This definitively was not in my 2024 Bingo card:

You’ve got it all wrong, they’re fine with masks for certain purposes (lynchings, intimidation) but not for others (public safety, AntiFascist protest)

I never got the negative connotation with that. Like are we all pretending that curry doesn’t smell amazing now?

MTG said the White House would smell like curry…as if that’s a bad thing. Tell me one person who doesn’t love the smell of garam masala or fenugreek.

Edit: sorry, Laura Loomer. It’s hard to keep track of all of the Russian assets calling themselves Republican these days.

It was Looney Loomer that said it. It was apparently enough for MTG to call out as being extremely racist.

Somebody needs to check MTG’s eyes, lately she sounds like she was taken over by Mystique when nobody was looking.

IKR. I’d apply for a job if that was a perk.

Right now the only way you’ll get that is if you work in an Indian restaurant, and bluntly, that would be a massive downgrade for me.

If I could upgrade my job and smell delicious food that I want to eat all day, and probably eat it too? Fuck yeah, there’s no downside here.

Right? Id enjoy just about any Indian food because it’s delicious…but the again I’ve also found food from most other cultures is delicious although different still the same too. Pretty much like people, well at least the ones who aren’t assholes.

Kimmel then posed the burning question: "What did it smell like specifically? " To which Kinzinger described Trump’s scent as an odd mix of armpits, ketchup, makeup, and butt, reports the Mirror US.

I hate to imagine being trapped in a room with someone like that.
