The coolest FBI Director by FAR! 😎 People hate seeing a king with a beautiful first girlfriend living it up!
I don't know what this means, but I can't stop laughing. First girlfriend as in first legal girlfriend? First ever girlfriend? First non-paid girlfriend? First girlfriend that wasn't shouting get away from me you freak I don't know you and dialing 911? First girlfriend that he actually remembered the name of the next day? First girlfriend whose next date with him isn't in front of a criminal court judge?
There are more, but I have my standards. Some things I just won't admit to knowing. (I might have that in common with women who have been called girlfriends by Krash.)
I'm not sure what you were getting at, but at best it seems none too complimentary for your, uh, king.
I thought it would be obvious that I was joking, but evidently not. Oh, well. That's one of the interesting things about Lemmy, I suppose. If I had posted that in a different comm on a different instance, it probably would have been obvious. If I had taken notice that this was Lemmy.world politics, I might have guessed the culture would be more like reddit's R/politics and thrown a /s in there.
I'm kind of relieved because there are those on Lemmy as well who post that shit for real. So don't throw away that /s just yet, you're gonna need it here too. I was wondering about it, couldn't tell if it was a joke or not, and then decided to roast it anyway because it was too good to resist. You throw a good troll 🤣
