While it's indeed fake, the satire was fun. It notes that whenever you see a Let's Go Brandon bumper sticker, it's in regards to this very famous gay porn star. Same with the chants. Those guys were just big fans of gay porn, y'know.
So the good news is he got 35 of 'em, the bad news is that it's just 35 of 'em. Hope they'll release him soon.
He is the gigachad image


That's gotta be a high score
Not quite Zhukov scores, but Patton and Monty would be jealous.
Man I really wish this wasn't a fake news story...
Dude looks like Wolfenstein 3D's B.J. Blazkowicz.

but this guys B.J. means something different.
Is it ever appropriate to use an apostrophe to pluralize a word?
"Let's"? That's not plural, that's a contraction. It's short for "let us".

Surprisingly, I stumbled upon exceptions on Wikipedia not too long ago. E.g., pluralizing single letters (Oakland A's) and symbols (#'s).
I was wondering about that. I assumed there wasn't exceptions, because those can still be possessive. Oakland A's members or 13's unlucky superstition. I'm not surprised though, because English is a stupid mess of a language.
It is not. That was a typo from the satirical website.
I'm not natively English but isn't that always when you could read it wrong without the apostrophe? E.g. it's zoos and bows, but not hos?
Edit: this example doesn't really do much, since you could argue about it's ho's nazi or a nazi's ho, and hoes is probably more correct anyway. I retract myself from this discussion.
Not quite. No apostrophe usually means plural. With apostrophe means possessive or a contraction (what is to what's). Its/it's is an edge case where the possessive "its" has no apostrophe and contraction "it's" does.
All that being said, native speakers mistype all of these all of the time, so you don't have to worry about it for casual conversation.
Nah, but that is how some people view and use it. It doesn't bother me personally if it seems intentional to quicken clarity. It at least makes more sense to me than possession on a name ending in 's', E.G. Bernie Sanders' policies. It breaks down further if the Sanders had a family reunion, what is the Sanderses'? Sanders'? preference for food?
Afaik it's not just how people use it but what has been agreed upon by the respective rulemakers. I was just commenting on whether it's appropriate though, completely agree it's arbitrary and imperfect.
Gotcha and I agree about it being as clear as mud. Also your English is amazing. Like better than most native speakers
Thank you, so is yours but you might not say that if you weren't a native yourself
Not native either, but pretty sure apostrophe-s is about ownership whereas just s is about plural. eg.:
"It's a dog's bark."
"The dogs are barking."
That is definitely the main rule, but i believe there are exceptions. I could be wrong though
"Its" vs "it's" is probably the most common mistake in the English language. Apostrophe is used for ownership as well as contraction, BUT contraction supersedes ownership. So its means ownership and it's means it is.
Least realistic thing about it is that if there were 35 Neonazis in one place that the cops wouldn't be there too.
Lol they let him get to 35 before doing something 🤣
35‽ Wow, either he was on a super cocaine rampage or the Nazis are bigger pussies than we realized..
My money is on the naizs = pussies
