Just Some Jokes About That Baffling Patrick Leahy Tweet

This afternoon, Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy tweeted a photo of himself, with no context at all.

Leahy’s verified Twitter account then followed up, adding… no context:

What a curious thing! Here are 10 jokes about this tweet.

1. Tfw you accidentally open the front-facing camera on your phone!!!

2. Ed Balls.

3. my man look like a turtle. turtle ass senator.

4. TAke a look, y’all: IMG_4346.jpeg.

5. Is this Tinder??????

6. When someone says Le Diplomate is overrated!!! (Le Diplomate is a trendy restaurant in Washington, D.C.’s popular 14th Street neighborhood. For this joke, you must live in Washington, D.C. and be familiar with upscale restaurants.)

7. “Big mood”

8. Pointy head much? Could do trigonometry on that head much?
