Why would Carol Baskin do this?
This is my favourite one so far. Fuck Joe Exotic.
It's an older meme, but it checks out.
I can definetely still hear this one!
“I am never gonna financially recover from this situation.”
good ol' create problem, sell solution
I doubt that Joe Exotic has been married at any time in 2025
It seems they were not married as of 1st November 2024
Fine, but they can refer to each other as husbands if they like
Well, yeah, but I believe the implication is that if they were legally married then Exotic's husband should be a US citizen and shouldn't have been deported.
should be a US citizen
No? You can marry foreign nationals in the US I'd hope
I think that even if they were legally married, there are instances where they can still be deported. If the person went into or stayed in America "illegally", they can be deported regardless of marriage status.
That's bullshit. The government shouldn't be deporting people for refusing to participate in their system of regulating love. Just let people live where they want.
Note that might have legal consequences: if they expressed that in a court session it might be considered perjury or contempt of court. In general, people don't like being mislead, so using sentences that are easy to misinterpret when you could have used a more straightforward sentence will probably lead to trouble.
Some consequences of "represent[ing] to others that the parties are married" can be considered quite negative: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/no-home-or-kids-together-but-couple-still-spouses-appeal-court-rules https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-law_marriage_in_the_United_States
Marriage isn't a legal construct. The government doesn't have the right to own people's relationships. They can say they do, it doesn't make it true.
Sorry guys, I agree with this take. The tricky part is the legal stuff tied to "single" or "married", etc but we shouldn't have distinguished based on that anyway.
Perhaps they weren't legally married but had some kinda tiger ceremony followed by a sweaty handshake..
Hahaha, you think a gay dude's getting one of Trump's golden tickets for US citizenship? I mean come on, has he even raped any women? Remember, trans ones don't count!
i absolutely hate this, and at the same time, you're entirely on point here. it's beginning to feel a lot like sex crimes are a rite of passage to the new regime, bonus points if it's a hate crime directed at a trans person
What do you mean "sex crimes"? There's about to be no such thing by the end of the next 4 years. Women won't be able to report crimes
I'm pretty certain they'll still be able to report a crime, but it becomes selectively enforced and used to control people.
Or they encourage victims to speak up, then force them to marry their rapist and remove all agency from them in that marriage to prevent them from speaking about it again.
Or both.
Or something worse than all of the above.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving piece of shit. Zero sympathy.
There's going to be so many fat leopards.
Leopards Ate My Husband
I don’t think Joe can vote from prison.
In some states you can't vote once you leave it either, for felonies. States like Missouri or Mississippi require extra steps like a pardon to get your voting rights back
i thought a tiger would eat his face, but eventually turned out to be a leopard
Yeah, doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.
Trump was exceedingly, vulgarly, and graphically clear that a vote for him was a vote the policy of heavy-handed and widespread immigration crackdowns.
Joe Exotic really seems to be leaning into leopards these days.
If he can get $5 million, does that mean he financially recovered from this?
Aren't people married to citizens also citizens? Not officially married?
No, marriage to a U.S. citizen does not automatically make someone a U.S. citizen. Marriage to a U.S. citizen makes the spouse eligible for U.S. lawful permanent residence through a process with a lot of paperwork and waiting. After 3 years of lawful permanent residence they become eligible for citizenship if the couple remains married.
but mah sitcomes :P ok ty.
