The Political Satire/Meme Thread

[Biggles]

Two Conspiracy Theorists Go to Heaven... ...as they stand before God waiting to be judged, God tells them that they each may ask him one question they have always wanted to be answered and he would answer it. One of the conspiracy theorists steps forward and asks “who REALLY killed JFK?” Before God can answer, the second one steps forward and says “can you confirm that the government planned 9/11?” God replies “9/11 was planned by Osama bin Laden and carried out by members of Al-Qaeda, and JFK was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald who was acting alone ”

The two men both look crestfallen. Then, one of them leans over and whispers in the other’s ear... “The conspiracy goes higher than we ever realized!!”

I'd been wondering where the joke I posted came from.

Can't directly upload pictures anymore for some odd reason. Hopefully this works.

Apart from someone's inability to spell "Israel", what are we looking at here?

If it's where American tax dollars go, why is "American People" not listed as a total like the other countries are? (Rhetorical question - I know it's not your post originally and you can't speak for him, those are just my thoughts on it.)

Edit: it seems to be no more than an example of how a deliberate misuse of statistics can lead to a desired false conclusion (look at how big these numbers are, and how small this one is!) when they aren't being compared like for like.

I believe it's a breakdown of some of the stuff that was in the stimulus package.

Honestly, as much as some people need the money right now I wish that stimulus bill would've failed. There's so much BS in it that it's staggering. I mean for example, illegal streaming can be tried as a felony and if convicted, you could serve up to 10 years in federal prison...you know along with murders and domestic terrorists, for what amounts to a victimless crime. I guess the government needs something since they won't be able to bust as many people for drugs in the near future.

I don't know where it originated but it's gone through Candace Owens, so this is likely an apt observation. The spin Isreal.

I may be missing something, but everything I've read indicates there are two separate things at play here. You've got the $900B CoViD-19 relief package and then the $1.4T (!!!) omnibus aid bill that includes making illegal streaming a felony. The two were tied together, presumably to streamline passage (a tactic in government that I so loathe), and now the two are being conflated.

I like how BoJo appears to need a booster seat.

Who is the woman?

I never realized how much Boris Johnson looks like the British Trump before. Same goofy-looking eyes, same bad hair, same giant ears. It's just Boris looks undercooked, while Trump looks like he's been cooked with an egg wash.

Intended for him to look small, and squashed

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen

In barbecue country that's commonly referred to as bark.

Given everything that's been going on, it's hard to find much humour in this. Even as a Canadian.

Rather than putting "Christ" back in "Christmas,"
l'd settle for putting "Christ" back in "Christians."

A typical post from the largest right wing page on Instagram:

Those evil, sick, communist, Marxist, socialist, radical left, anti-American DEMONRAT’s.

And yes, Demonrat apostrophe s. I’ve found that many right wingers in comments sections don’t understand how to correctly use an apostrophe.
