The Political Satire/Meme Thread

[Chrunch Houston]

Expect Melania and got Hunter? I don't even remotely understand. I wasn't expecting a fake supermodel with zero taste or sense, nor was I expecting a druggie son. I was expecting growth and that's what we got.

The U.S. economy created far fewer jobs than expected in November, in a sign that hiring started to slow even ahead of the new Covid threat, the Labor Department reported Friday. Nonfarm payrolls increased by just 210,000 for the month...
The Dow Jones estimate was for 573,000 new jobs

Oh, and @TexRex, that Meme is hilarious.

I still have no idea what it has to do with a fake supermodel or a druggie. Both of those people are terrible people, whereas the jobs report is just kind of meh with a slant to a positive side.

Seems like Ed Sheeran would've been more appropriate here. You know not ugly, not attractive, not really remarkable looking in anyway, but he can kinda sorta sing so there's at least some positive to him.

Wow gas prices down 2¢ in two weeks, I'm gonna add that to the 16¢ I saved on the 4th of July and buy myself something really nice.

Doesn't the fact that he can only drop the price by pennies show just how little control the President has over the price?

I didn't say he had any control the price of gas. Neither did the tweeter. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee did, they thanked Biden for it.

It's annoying that both Democrats and Republicans seemingly don't have a basic understanding of fuel prices. Pretty much the only way a president is going to do anything to gas prices is if they get the US involved in a war with an oil-producing country. Otherwise, it pretty much just follows the basic laws of supply and demand. There's less demand for fuel in winter than there is during the summer so prices go down. They'll likely go up again in the spring. Last year was a bit of an anomaly though since during lockdowns nobody went anywhere.

OPEC controls oil prices. It's a meaningless statistic to politicise which does little other than sucker in partisans. Much like the stock market indicies which also sucker people in, it's an extremely poor metric for telling you about general prosperity.

Looks like they both did, otherwise he wouldn't've used the word "admitting".

The people using the "See, they do admit Biden controls gas prices" gonna be the same ones to quickly rip off the "I did that" stickers if gas keeps trending downward.

That punctuation is fire.

Also, he should change it to something like 45th and Current Real President.

 

[UKMikey]

OMG... he still can't let it go. What a petulant child.

The Don has ran out of things to say, I guess?

Just noticed the double negative. I take it back, Trump. I agree with your statement now. 😊

I'm not going to post the dildo one as it's probably not even appropriate behind a spoiler, but it's from the same person.

"CANCEL CULTURE!!!"

* REEEEEEEEEEEEEE *

I'll continue this here, because that's what the thread is for.

Removing the dislikes is an incredibly dumb move by YouTube. All those tutorial videos are now pretty much useless. You need to waste time sifting through garbage because people felt that dislikes hurt their feelings.

Ah, so this is context that I lacked. That particular template is so frequently used by sad sacks to beat their "cancel culture" drum (see subsequent post) that it felt like just another example, particularly given that user's bent made so apparent in this section. Thanks.

Corporate YouTube accounts don't want to see any negativity on their precious intellectual properties. They don't want engagement with or feedback from customers, they want compliant, stale metrics (generated by bots anyway) that they can use to blow smoke up shareholders' holes.

Won't someone please think of the corporate shareholders?

Youtube kinda headed downhill with the intro of tons of ads if you ask me.

So in other words "🤬ing Nuts"?

It's gone off the deep end. Ad-incoming, get through it, back to video. Sike, another ad-incoming, if your luck is bad, it's 2 you can't skip. Video has 5 seconds left (that you're likely not aware of), ad-incoming, ad plays... hey, the video actually ended.

I don't mind ads, I get that it's a free service, but these sort of strategic placements they end up in every so often are... irksome.

Yea I'm not against advertising, but it's important to keep in mind that you have to keep your audience too.

Sounds a bit like NBC's short fifth act for hour-long dramas. I don't know if they're still doing this, but they were like two minutes long and shows clearly struggled with what to do in that time before roll credits.
