The Political Satire/Meme Thread

[ryzno]

Rynzo: that was not actually the way the exchange went according to the video clip I have seen. It's spin, complete with added editorializing "Glares", "Silence" & emojis. ie. Fake News

Care to share it?

Oh so a little hyperbole... Sounds close and funny enough.

I didn't know this thread was under so much scrutiny! I thought it was just for fun? I can point out a number posts in this thread that are misleading but humorous. God I've even liked some posts mocking Trump that are incorrect here... It's humour...

I'll break it down for you in my terms...
Schiff: Hush, don't say who the snitch is.
Jordan: You said you don't know who the snitch is. How do you know he was going to rat out the snitch?

I'm still trying to understand this. Why do you think Schiff knows who the Whistleblower is? Why does Jordan think that? Because he knows that Vindaman was talking about the Whistleblower? You don't have to know someone's name to understand who is being talked about.

It just looks like Jordan was trying to be clever by making a misleading statement, and people bought it.

I love how Trump posts get likes and no questions but something not Trump needs an explanation...

I'll remind you that I'm the 3rd party guy.

Why do you think Schiff knows who the Whistleblower is?

For starters he's the Chairman. None of us know who said what behind the closed door meeting. He does.
They know, cause his lawyer was the one who stopped the question. Watch Biggles vid. Or am I over thinking something logical?

Edit:
For everyone:
I'm done here. I posted it for lolz. Don't like it and think it's false information? Report it and move on or take it up with the person who created the meme.

Vindaman knows. But Schiff? Knows him or her by name? How do you know that?

I'm still trying to figure out what's funny. It looks like someone trying to be clever and failing.

Well, I would agree with that. Satire is "truthy" rather than truth. So I'm objecting to your post because it's really not in any way funny or clever, it's just inaccurately summarizing an actual dialogue in order to make a political inference. But there are other posts that I don't find funny or clever either.

Too each their own.
See my edit in post 1865, I'm not going to defend something I didn't create, just cause I happened to find it funny.

Sounds like a threat to me...

Sounds like fake news to me, obviously out of context and deceitfully spliced to give the impression of a threat.

And so it is. Here's a snippet from Fox:

"He knows me. He knows my son. He knows there's nothing to this," the former Delaware senator said.

He claimed Trump is "essentially holding power over him [Graham] that even the Ukrainians wouldn't yield to."

"Lindsey is about to go down in a way that I think he's going to regret his whole life," he said, going on to address Graham directly: "Lindsey... I'm just embarrassed by what you're doing -- for you -- I mean, my Lord."

Sounds like a threat to me...

Well, you know what that Abraham Lincoln quote says about believing everything you read on the internet.

Let's try these fuller extracts: "Lindsey is about to go down in a way that I think he's going to regret his whole life," Biden told CNN's Don Lemon in an interview Friday in South Carolina.

Asked what he would say to Graham, who in the past had expressed his admiration for his long-time Senate colleague, Biden said: "I say Lindsey, I just -- I'm just embarrassed by what you're doing, for you. I mean, my Lord."
The interview comes as the House's impeachment inquiry dominates national headlines -- with Trump's effort to convince Ukraine to investigate the Bidens as its focal point. Republicans, including Graham, have rallied to Trump's defense less than a year from the 2020 election.

Graham, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, this week requested documents related to Biden and his son Hunter Biden's previous work in Ukraine. He is seeking documents from the State Department of Joe Biden's phone calls with former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in February and March 2016 -- including whether there was any mention of the country's investigation into the business activities of Mykola Zlochevsky, who owned the natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, where Hunter Biden served on the board. There has been no evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens.

"They have him under their thumb right now. They know he knows that if he comes out against Trump, he's got a real tough road for reelection, number one," Biden said of Graham.
"I am disappointed, and quite frankly I'm angered, by the fact -- he knows me; he knows my son; he knows there's nothing to this," Biden said. "Trump is now essentially holding power over him that even the Ukrainians wouldn't yield to. The Ukrainians would not yield to, quote, 'investigate Biden' -- there's nothing to investigate about Biden or his son."

Say what you want... and Epstein didn't kill himself.

A little light digging reveals that the "threat" narrative is being pushed by the beacon of mental health that is Rudy "I look like I haven't slept since the second tower collapsed" Giuliani.

Wait, do you think this is a republican or pro-trump meme? Just checking.

Epstein

Epstein

I just put the Epstein line in as a joke and I said say what you want in reference to people correcting the Biden/Graham post.
I even gave Tex a like for his joke after my post.
I don't know where you get the idea I thought it had anything to do with Trump.
He doesn't live in my head 24/7 like I do with someone who claims to ignore me here.

I could even call out Sander and the Clinton foundation losing half(I wonder why ) since they've become irrelevant... I give a like to what I find funny and keep scrolling when I don't.
