The Narcissist's Prayer
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.

Ah, that old GOP favorite, the "Schrodinger's Joke" defense against encouraging stochastic terrorism ....
Markwayne will never beat the joke his parents pulled by giving him that name.
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 :)
Markwayne "Hillbilly Is In The Name" Mullins
Spoiler: No he wasn't. He meant every word of that crap. He just thought others agreed with him.
Naw. He was probing for reactions to see if he could get away with it
Gee, wonder how well the "I was just joking" defense would work for those non-MAGAts among us...
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
Classic bully excuse
dude they never stop lying. I think mostly these days I'm just mad at how stupid they think we all are
I didnt elect my representatives to make jokes, and I'm sure others haven't for theirs. fuck off.
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."
You can't do that.
You're an government official, not someone tanking a Tuesday-noon stand-up gig. If you want to be "funny" and intimate violence toward political opponents "as a joke", quit and pursue that comedy career you're tripping over yourself to practice.
We can't keep letting public figures say insane shit and walking it back "as a joke". You shouldn't be able walk anything back. If you want to recant, it's an official motion you have to make and you're fined regardless, if it was a threat/incitement to violence or slander/libel.
They should be afraid of the words they use because those words have a greater effect than the average person.
the classic "Oh shit, I'm getting to much backlash..uh.. uh..umm...er...uh... IT WAS A JOKE, GOD, STUPID LIBTARDS TAKE EVERYTHING SERIOUSLY!"
It’s a prank bro.
"I was just joking..... unless, y'know..... you're okay with it."
Hey Markwayne you should put a loaded gun in your mouth and pull the trigger with the safety off haha jk but what if?
But showing Trump in a casket is not a joke to these people. Their speech is worth less than free.
I'd rather show him lying dead in the street, in a pool of his own blood. Hogtied for extra snowflake reaction.
or having a comedian, show the head of trump without his body too.
Was murder the punchline?
His name is
Comedians can make for excellent politicians, but politicians on the other hand are total shit at comedy.
Just a prank, bro
No he wasn't
Just a prank bruh.
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.
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!
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.

Too bad his followers are too dumb to tell when something is a joke
It wasnt a joke. It only becomes a 'joke' when there's backlash or potential legal implications.
Bro wants to be a clown he should join the circus or go to do stand up instead.
Uh huh "joking".
Perhaps we should use violence against GQP senators... Only joking!
The republicans are such liars. Like project 2025 was just something randomly floating around and they weren’t serious about it yet here they are doing most of it. They’ll beat up journalists soon enough.
Pussies always fall back on that when you get in their face and call them on it.
Tike to start joking about using violence against politicians i guess
It's just a social experiment.
