I think I may have been gaslit by a documentary about 1968 that I saw in 1993. It went over the DNC riot, and said a song was written, recorded, and published within a week of the event. It then played FWIW. I did a quick web search, can’t find any song that fits that criteria.
Okay, clearly I am thinking about another song, then.
Because Trump is a Republican. I’ve never quite understood why, but the media, even the supposedly “liberal” outlets, are far more comfortable going after a Dem admin than a GOP one. Is it fear? Do they think Dem-bashing gets ratings and GOP criticism doesn’t? Are they just bought and paid for?
“For What It’s Worth” is about the police crackdown on protestors at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. It was written and recorded the next day, if I remember right.
Yep. Came within a hair of being put on a ventilator.
I never tire of reminding people of the time Trump vehemently denied that he’d had multiple mini-strokes, despite no one having reported that he had.
When he finally dies, can someone please change this meme so Piglet says “Fuck yeah”?
I’m puzzled why Apple fought this for so long, given that they already used USB-C for the iPad. They even contributed to the latest Thunderbolt standard, which works on top of USB-C. But it still took the EU to get them to finally put it in the iPhone.
Grandpa’s tweet-writers want to go home and have a life, and they know he won’t be having his usual late night tantrums.
It’s amazing to me that such a musically great song was written and recorded so quickly after the event that inspired it.
It’s so cute how they think they won’t be next.
You joke, but that was one of the defenses of the slave trade. They were helping Africans by removing them from their primitive homelands and taking them someplace much better and advanced!
Trump loves Andrew Jackson so much, he wants his own Trail Of Tears.
Educate me: how did they do that? I thought the minority on a committee had no power to subpoena.
What was done for hatching? I was told that sea turtle hatchlings needed the experience of crawling across the beach into the water, or else they wouldn’t be able to find their way back to the beach to lay eggs.
Maybe? But I think there was a lot of disappointment that he was able to take the coward’s way out.
My goodness. Trump really HAS brought the world together. They need to give the Nobel Peace Prize to whatever eventually kills him.
V-T Day!
In the 80’s SNL had a skit where they’re trying to launch the Space Shuttle, but people keep wandering onto the launching pad. A series of problematic celebrities show up, and the chief keeps thinking about launching but doesn’t. Finally Trump and Ivana appear and he shouts “LAUNCH NOW!” BOOM!!
Trump has been hated his entire life. Nobody who truly knew him liked him. Whenever he popped up on TV, there was a lot of “oh god this asshole again”. The makers of The Apprentice have a lot to answer for. They rehabilitated this piece of shit and the entire world is suffering for it.
On another thread, people are speculating that Trump’s dementia has progressed to the point where he can no longer speak. Never having to hear that lying disgusting orange smear talk again? What a wonderful world that would be.
His deal with the devil is finally coming due.
I always thought the “two weeks” thing was because that’s how long the goldfish memory of MAGA (and the media for that matter) takes to forget he said it.
Yes. I want him to die by loudly shitting himself at a podium until he collapses.
There is clearly something wrong with his head, his physical cranium, I mean. Sores? Did they have to shave his mop to remove a skin tumor?
Guy in the back: “She can stay dead! We’re doin’ her a favor!”
When Trump finally kicks it, is Leavitt going to give a tearful announcement reminiscent of when Kim Jong-Il died? Will they declare two weeks of national mourning? Will all the MAGA have to wear black hats? Will they fly their Trump flags at half-mast?
Don’t lose hope just because his handlers read social media and decided they needed to drag him in front of a camera.
As long the awful sequel doesn’t play out. I wouldn’t put it past them putting a zombie Trump in the White House.
He’s gonna die like a Soviet premier, isn’t he? His party insisting he’s vibrant and healthy right up until the moment they announce the funeral.
They just don’t see Palestinians as people, do they? It’s terrorists and nothing else. Palestinians are pushed out of the womb as fully-formed terrorists, with little rifles and suicide vests. Palestinian lives matter. They’re just as human as Israelis.
Great! Then we can count on this GOP Congress to support mental healthcare! Ha ha, I do amuse myself.
That’s not fair! How do you expect them to write a book report when they’re illiterate?
It’s okay. It’s so satisfying to block them. Like throwing a MAGA in the garbage where they all belong.
It’s not a competition.
If you want to crusade against planned obsolescence, you should pick another product. I’ve gotten five years out of every iPhone I’ve bought, as Apple has supported them with OS updates for at least that long. And you can charge it with a cheap-ass cable available at any convenience store.
The only way a house would make people like Hannity happy is if it included a basement dungeon full of tortured immigrants.
Maybe he should try not being a revolting hateful toxic piece of shit. I’ve heard that does wonders for your public treatment.
That’s the way I feel. I mean, yes, it’s mind-blowing that the artist can do this, but he’s not adding anything to the world that couldn’t be added by a skilled photographer with considerably less effort.
Mm’kay?
Is the drone swarm in the room with us now?
He might, but he’d wait at least one election cycle to publish it. What’s the urgency?
No, because then he’d stay President. They’d wheel him out, Weekend At Bernie’s style, to make the occasional public appearance, while his uber-fascist inner circle runs the country (into the ground). The GOP has experience with this. They did it with Reagan.
A movie that came out in the US dubbed because they didn't think Americans could handle Australian accents.
“No dude, you’re still as a big a fool now.” (Flip bird harder)
Speaking as an American who refused to watch the Qatar World Cup and the Beijing Winter Olympics over human rights issues, I wholeheartedly agree. But they’ll both go on. What matters to FIFA and the IOC is 💰💰💰💰💰💰.
Even if this was not the case, I fail to see how it is in any way the Federal government’s business fighting street crime. If the mayor or governor feels the National Guard is required, fine. But it’s not the President’s job.
I could imagine a #1 hit being AI generated. However, I have a hunch that it won’t have much staying power. The real question is whether radio stations would still be playing it five years later.
100%. Well said.
I am seriously losing my patience with “purity test progressives”. Trump is sending the military into US cities and these guys go ballistic if you accept the help of any Democrat who’s flawed. Gavin Newsom has serious freaking flaws. I don’t want him as President. But if it’s down to him or Trump…
Also, I notice most of those are in the House. Which is great - looking forward to them taking the lead in January 2027. But Newsom is a governor and in power now. Can you blame me for holding my nose and taking his help?
That’s still slim enough that I’ll welcome one more.
I have no goddamn patience for these types. Trump is unleashing the fucking military on US cities and these guys want all our allies to pass purity tests. I half wonder if they’re Russian trolls. This is the kind of thing they like to do.
And here we go. “Anyone who doesn’t agree with me on all things, in every way, is a bigot.” I won the argument, so you’re throwing a tantrum.
I am not “okay with him doing it”. I’m saying you take the life preserver, get to safety, THEN throw Newsom overboard and rescue the others. You’re saying we should all just drown in solidarity with the others.
Or… we recruit better candidates at the same time as we work with the ones we have. I swear, you guys would stay in a burning house if it was “too hot outside”. 72 degrees Fahrenheit or I ain’t movin’!
If you’re drowning, and someone throws you a life preserver, do you reject it if it’s filthy? No. You grab on for dear life. Once you’re safe, you throw it away and take a long shower.
I do. But until enough better someones are available, I’m not going to reject someone actively fighting against Trump. I’m not deluded. I know what Newsom is. But this is war. You fight with what you have. I’ll get picky once we’ve won.
Well, the pickin’s are slim at the moment, so I’ll take anyone who’s actually willing to fight.
“Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.”
“Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.” Someone explain that to ICE.
Maybe they’re ignoring the law knowing that Mississippi won’t have the balls to go after them? Mets could probably buy the state several times over.
Yes, but obviously HE’s no danger for fraud. He a rich, white, Republican. It’s “those people” you gotta worry about.
But why wouldn’t the voters believe mail-in voting is accurate? Surely the nation’s journalists would make sure people understood the truth, right?
The whole controversy surrounding mail-in voting is idiots who have never voted by mail thinking that it’s no more sophisticated than sticking a ballot in an envelope and adding a stamp.
They hate how convenient it is. One of the best ways they have of controlling the vote is by limiting polling stations in areas that tend to vote against them. Mail-in voting takes that tactic off the board. Of course, they can’t say this out loud, so they spin tall tales about fraud.
“Racist”? Lol. “So they can call it ‘Cracker’ Barrel, but if I call the waitress the N-word, they get all pissy!”
Ever read a comic so gorgeously drawn that you feel a little guilty turning the page? Like, the artist spent so much time and put so much of their soul into the work, the least you could do is spend a little more time appreciating it.
This nation needs to get over its socialism phobia. Socialism is like wine. A little of it never hurt anyone, there are documented health benefits, and many successful countries have it as part of their culture.
An even bigger knee-slapper is that Trump's name is all over the Epstein files!
“Ugh. The most aweless movie I’ve seen in years.” Seriously, this word needs a revival.
Psst! Just between you and me, we were already doing a lot of those things. They just didn’t make it into those history books.
If my afterlife choices are spending eternity either burning or in a “heaven” that admits people like Donald Goddamn Trump, I think I’m going to check out what the Hindu have to offer.
(Taps temple) Can’t die from radiation sickness if I die from salmonella poisoning first!
They could call it “The Cassandra Channel”. No one would watch it.
It’s been consistent. Criticize Trump for being cruel or corrupt, MAGA just laughs. Make the point that he’s weird, or smells bad, they freak the hell out. They love it when you get angry at them. They hate it when they’re openly mocked.
That was a metaphor. He was referring to all makers of dairy products.
It was a verbal agreement. Trump said “ifwehaveatradedealsaywhat”, and they all said “what?”
I’m not messing with anyone named Camille Zapata. That’s one bad-ass name.
Would you like some freshly grated parmigiana on your zebra?
The original logo made that clear by having the “MSN” vertical and the “NBC” horizontal, sharing the “N”. The letters formed an “L” shape surrounding the NBC peacock.
You’d need the occasional break to wipe the orange paint off your fists.
That’s good news for John McCain!
Pretty sure the dust is.
“That’s so rude and childish! Um… when you do it.”
For many years now, the only purpose of late night talk shows has been to generate viral YouTube clips. Does anyone watch the actual shows?
“That’s plagiarism!” shouts professional user of the Plagiarism-O-Matic 3000.
The next big “thing” is “quantum AI”. That’s right, the quantum hype is fusing with the AI hype to form a terrifying hype chimera that will such billions of dollars into oblivion.
They truly think they’re artists. One of the most roll-on-the-floor funny moments for me was when one of them tried to sue another for “stealing his prompts”.
Little sisters have a habit of that. My grandfather was know to everyone as “Buzz”. His little sister called him “big brother”, but it came out as “big buzzer”. Soon, everyone was calling him “Big Buzzard”, and that got shortened to “Buzz”..
One of my childhood cats was named Kinder. We’d tell people it was German for “child”, which is true enough, but the real reason is my baby sister mispronouncing “kitty cat” as “kinder cat”.
Internet cats should be like Maru. Share videos of them enjoying their life at home, keep your face out of the picture, and leave it like that.
The story I heard them give was that she was named by their little kid, who couldn’t pronounce “tartar”.
Lol. Why mute when you can block?
So because Republicans are bad, Democrats should be free of criticism for not fighting them hard enough. Got it. Binary thinking (X good, Y bad) is what THEY do. I can be furious at the Republicans for being what they are and furious at the Democrats at the same time for not fighting.
"The fire is the arsonists fault! Not the firefighters!" you tut-tut at me as my clothing starts to smolder and the firefighters post on TikTok.
Imagine you're in a burning building. It's burning down because an arsonist set it on fire with the intention of killing you. Outside are some firefighters, talking to reporters instead of doing their job. Is it really your position that I SHOULD NOT BE MAD AT THEM?
O_O There are states that tax GROCERIES?? Ohio doesn't tax groceries, and we're pretty damn far from a progressive state these days...
"I'm gonna have competition!"
They were always stupid. The very first rage comic is about the artist being mad that a driver approaching an intersection from the left didn't put on his turn signals before turning right. Presumably he wanted to pull in front of the guy, because he'd "know" it was safe. Not a smart driver.
