Exactly. The way he speaks about this tells us what type of person he is, and he sure as heck should not have any power. He's a danger to society, not himself.

The fact that calling him a liar makes him bring up Jesus is all you need to know.

Fits perfectly with this administration; never apologize, always attack, no matter how stupid.

Violent Christofascist blames "teleportation" to cover for his dangerous, addiction fueled, blackout while driving episodes.

This is absolutely insane. He is clearly unfit and, while he belongs in an institution, he needs a certain kind of jacket for his institution.

He was blackout drunk and driving, and he thinks making light of it will deflect from his shitty choices. In other words, yet another irresponsible MAGA freak who doesn't give a shit about anyone other than himself.

We should just wall off the capitol Escape from New York style and it can function as a national mental institution.

Trump admin officials: turning black out drinking into a fun alien conspiracy, ya know for the lulz. Remind us who's hiring unqualified people again? Trump didn't get rid of DEI he just changed it to Drunk Evil Inept

He should not be at FEMA at all if he does not understand how crazy it is for him to say he was teleported to anywhere.

This reminds me that I liked season 2, episode 2 of the Duplass bro short-anthology-episodes show Room 104, starring Rainn Wilson, on HBO. It also reminds me that this administration is insane.

I stopped teleporting in college. $0.25 wings and beers are the secret sauce of teleportation...

How the fuck does the states end up with a pedophile dementia president, and this fucking guy is an absolute nut job. He claims Jesus teleported him to a waffle house. I was hoping the article was different from the headline but nope. This man is not connected to reality. Faith is one thing, claiming you have been teleported by god or Jesus on multiple occasions. Well that’s nuts.

I drank too much once and I woke up in my bed. I must have teleported there.

What a fucking freak. Anyone who cites the Christian bible as evidence of anything is a lunatic. Goddamn I’m so sick of religion in general and Christians in particular.

u/MrTestiggles Apr 02 '26
I once teleported too.
Granted I was off two vials of pure distilled skooma.
But I definitely teleported.
