Circus performers are hard workers, do their job well, are fully trained and get the results they promise people.

That's way better than anyone in the government.

As a fairly accomplished circus performer, can confirm. The circus is very queer and left leaning. It takes a village to run a show.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh that's pretty cool, what do you perform at the circus?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fire & sideshow, bit of burlesque. Mostly at theaters but I've done faires and festivals

Spitting bars with this one. 👌🏻

We should call it the little top though, cause they'd hate that

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Especially since they're bottoms.

Doesn’t it stand as tall as mushroom peen?

Can you not?

Their national anthem is yakkety-sax at this point

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yakkety sax is a ripper though.

Now that's what I call "Big Tent Politics"!

[–] alexc@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You more than just the clowns to be a circus

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago
  • Clowns? ✅
  • Animals?
    • well they have asses 🫏, sheep 🐑, chickens 🐓 in the GOP - so ✅
  • Acrobats?
    • with the way some of them bend over backwards to justify their support of Trump, I’d count them as contortionists- so ✅

Sounds like they got everything they need for a full 3-ring circus to me.

[–] bonesawmcl@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Don't you worry, some of them are animals too!

[–] stumu415@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Where is the tacky gilding?

[–] starik@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Gold fringe on the flag = maritime law. I am sovereign citizen, not subject to your jurisdiction. I claim my rights under common law. I am traveling, not driving.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

Omg, not the idiotic sovereign citizen thing. Guy got shot here by the police trying to claim that and drive away after getting stopped.

Entry of the Gladiators!!!

[–] decolo@piefed.social 4 points 4 days ago

could you maybe put some greasy fingerprints on the circus tent? and make it be on fire

[–] scrodumb@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

The 19^th^ Hole

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

Thanks; just bought one.

[–] DBNinja@piefed.zip 3 points 4 days ago

I appreciate the attention to detail on the stripes.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I think the stripes could better be used to represent a white house on fire, but I suppose this works.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online -5 points 4 days ago

There’s nothing fun or comical about this shit.
