    'Tiger King' announces 2024 presidential bid (kxan.com)

    Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as “Joe Exotic” or the “Tiger King,” is currently serving a 21-year federal sentence after being convicted on multiple charges. He said he isn’t going to let that stop him from running for the nation’s top office.

    Maldonado-Passage launched a new campaign website, with a personal message: “Thank you for your interest in my Campaign. Yes, I know I am in Federal Prison and you might think this is a joke but it’s not. It is my Constitutional right to do this even from here.”

    I am pleased to report that I've never seen so much as a nanosecond of Tiger King.

    He's quite the character. As somebody who normally watches documentaries on crime war and nature, I did like the show, but didn't watch the spinoffs. I would say that his ridiculous murder for hire plot should disqualify him for stupidity, though. Probably better decorum than Trump, at least. Not entirely sure what his politics are.

    I watched the show for a bit. I stopped watching when one of his employees was mauled, losing an arm, and WHILE SHE WAS STILL RECEIVEING EMERGENCY CARE, his ONLY reaction was to panic about how much money he might lose. This was literally on the show. His immediate reaction, while she was injured, was to whine about his wealth, and he never showed a single sign of caring about the wellbeing of his employee. **** that psychopath and anyone like him.

    Don't know much about him, but can't be any worse than Trump or Biden...

    So I guessed you missed the part that his husband was so convinced his gun with no magazine but still a bullet in the chamber wouldn't fire, that he pulled the trigger with the gun to his head.
    Mistakes were made.

    (only vid available is people seeing that he did that, so it's doable to view).

    Oh I bet the guy can take it to a whole new level that nobody knew existed.

    You're aware that he got no problem with recruiting meth heads, alcoholics etc etc, right? lol

    I recall he underpaid them lot who couldn't find a job anywhere else, that they had to pick out the best meat meant for the zoo so they feed themselves.
    Meat that wasn't allowed to be sold for human consumption / passed expiration date and so was fuming in a hot truck for days before they could their hands on it.

    So yeah. Not just deplorables. They wore capes and were super deplorables.

    I did not realize that Trump had a brother in prison. Hope that Tump will join “Tiger King “ as a cellmate.
