" ‘It is a beautiful, patriotic paper weight,’ Buck added."

Owned by an ugly, traitorous boat anchor.

EDIT: for the love of Pasta, Gowdy, who the hell dressed you this morning?

Awfully big paper weight. Who takes their picture posing with a paper weight anyway?

I agree, this is a very serious matter deserving of investigation by the police … the Fashion Police. Good grief!!!

Holy shit, I never realized how weird Trey Gowdy looks. I know there’s an oh-so-sensitive contingent here on TPM that gets upset when people make fun of Chris Christie’s blubber, but, seriously, this guy is approaching Alfred E. Neuman territory.

I say fire both of them!

Laws are made for everyone, not just the little peeps. Ask Leona Helmsley

These two are depicted assuming what’s called your Typical Male White Folks With Weirdo Hair Consort pose. It’s from their culture. It denotes a particular form of arrogance combining a huge sense of entitlement with an unjustified feeling of power. The underlying aggression is subtle, but over time you learn the signs.

Could be White Panthers. The two of them standing there, jackets both already unbuttoned, together holding that assault weapon - that suggests common intent or enterprise. Could be a conspiracy to commit a felony.

If it’s me on LEO duty there, seeing that overt display, at absolute minimum I’m wanting to conduct a stop’n’frisk, check out their IDs, see if they’re from anywhere around these parts, require they produce permits for the piece.

You can’t never tell in advance if one or both may try something, like suddenly going for maybe a concealed firearm possibly inside his waistband. Note, the one on the right’s waistband looks possibly bulgy on the sides at least. The one on the left, tho, he’s wearing that check number like a Sears Roebuck mail order on Ty Cobb, and we all know Cobb’s came with a harness under his.

Or a dash to freedom, even if only one of those OTH middle-aged dude slow jogs (Stop, I’d say in a possibly audible voice. Or else, I would opt not to specify. Works better; plays off the imagination.).

So, before you go in, make sure of back-up.

More like Pee Wee Herman, except Pee Wee is cool.

I think that’s actually Ed Grimley with Buck. If I must say…

Buck and Gowdy will fight to protect every American’s right to keep and bear paperweights.

Totally thrift store/homeless look. But he knows how to fondle a firearm properly, that’s all that matters.

A guy wearing a plaid Zoot suit with a patterned purple tie while sporting Oswald Cobblepot’s hairdo, that’s who.

That look is a big hit on Forensic Files.

The rifle may be harmless, but that suit is weaponized. I pride myself on my collection of ugly jacket - tie combos, but this guy is a pro, I’m truly humbled.

Celebrating their Second Amendment right to douchebaggery? (And paperweights.)

Your brain is fucking paperweight.

Is that a roll of quarters in his pants or is he just glad to be touching that Rod?
