Absolute Batshit


TRUMP: "We're going after Virginia, with your crazy governor, we're going after Virginia. They want to take your Second Amendment away. You'll have nobody guarding your potatoes."

1. My dog is guarding our garden

From the squirrels 😆


Potatoes in Virginia?

[dewsgirl]

2. Is VA known for their potatoes?

[BannonsLiver]

3. No.

[onethatcares]

4. maybe their yams???

they yam what they yam and all that...

[ibegurpard]

5. I was just going to say...

This might make sense in the context of Idaho but i was unaware that Virginia was known for potatoes.

10. Tobacco(4%) peanuts soy beans and the chicken houses in the Valley

Potatoes are #19

16. I'm surprised they grow there at all. That's a cold weather crop

that tends not to do well in warm, humid climates. They don't like temperatures in excess of 80F.

22. Just the summertime is really hot

Closer to the water is humidity country. Whew it gets bad there.

My obvious concern here is that if the potatoes are in danger that means carrots too. And we know who eats carrots. And we know there’s only one thing that can save the carrots

18. Ham, tobacco, the Internet: yes. Potatoes: no (nt)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. I didn't think potatoes could be grown in Virginia.

But do they need the 2nd Amendment for their tobacco crop? Trump doesn't even know who he should pitch his lines to.

13. It was the first thing that popped into his head

Like when he was just going and said that he was taking the malaria drug.

SNL should have Lovitz on to read his transcripts. It would be hilarious.

[shockey80]

7. His brain is mashed potatoes.

[sunonmars]

17. Yup, utter mush

[Tipperary]

8. Potatoes grow underground.

Stupid pillock.

[Baclava]

9. I see the Clorox injections are working

[Ilsa]

26. LOL...

He should switch to putting lights up his ass.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. Funny, but I never associated VA with potato growing.

[Norbert]

12. Maybe he had a particularly good order of MickeyDs french fries there

Who knows?

I just hope he wastes his time campaigning in a state that will ultimately turn thumbs down on him while Joe solidifies Florida, North Carolina and Texas.

[Ohiogal]

14. We the People

Need one of those hooks they used to use in the old days to drag a terrible act off a stage into the wings. It would get a lot of use.

[displacedtexan]

15. Is that Ivanka?

She looks like she's about to head back to the Big Valley.

19. From Va's Governor Northam

I grew up on a Virginia farm, Mr. President—our potatoes are fine. And as the only medical doctor among our nation's governors, I suggest you stop taking hydroxychloroquine.

Let's all get back to work.

[underpants]

23. Oh. Is that real?

His presser today on Facebook should be a hoot.

[rogue emissary]

27. It's real.

[cyclonefence]

20. The Irish Potato Famines??

And the reference to the 2nd Amendment? Is he urging the RW nuts to storm the potato fields? Or silos? Or wherever the damn spuds are? Is McDonalds running low on fries?

[JHB]

21. Somewhere, Dan Quayle suddenly feels as if a burden has been lifted off his shoulders...

It went away like a miracle.

Finally, some spud-related nonsensicalness to eclipse his own.

[Yavin4]

24. Of course VA does not have potatoes because of their crazy governor taking away guns.

No one can protect VA potatoes from theft.

[tinrobot]

25. Don't forget, the strawberries also need protection.

[lame54]

28. ...
