from the slightly-funnier dept
This week, our first place winner on the insightful side is MrWilson with a comment on last week’s post, where I had to forego most of the Funny section due to a lack of candidates:
To be fair, it seems like there’s less and less to be laughing at, except as a gallows humor coping mechanism.
In second place, it’s Thad with a comment about Senator Bill Cassidy criticizing RFK Jr.’s ACIP appointees:
Cassidy voted to confirm RFK Jr. Fuck him and the performative buyer’s remorse he rode in on.
For editor’s choice on the insightful side, we start out with a comment from n00bdragon about ICE’s ongoing claims of a spike in assaults on agents:
I can absolutely believe assaults are up 500%. Just remember kids: When you’re lying face down on the pavement with your hands behind your back, if you breathe too quickly or too slowly or move a single muscle in any way or don’t move a muscle immediately on command or do move on command but don’t follow the correct commands that is assault.
By this logic, the more kidnappings ICE engages in the more assaults they will fall victim to. Honestly, a mere 500% increase sounds like a real lowball.
Next, it’s Heart of Dawn with a comment about the treatment of people crossing the border into the US:
This level of cruelty is going to hurt the country, all so a small group of bigoted, and hateful people can feel better about themselves.
Cities and states that depend on tourism are already feeling the pinch, and it’s going to hurt in other ways too. People aren’t going to bring innovation and investment into a country that might hit them with the door over any perceived infraction.
Fascism only ever ruins a country. It never makes one better.
Over on the funny side, things aren’t much different from last week, but we do have just enough to put together a list, though the top two comments still earned their spot with only a small handful of votes! Both come in response to our post about the Fifth Circuit blocking Louisiana’s law mandating the posting of the Ten Commandments in school. In first place, it’s MrWilson again, with a comment about the governor saying kids could simply not look at the posters:
Hey, that’s a great strategy! If you want the ten commandments to be posted wherever you go, just start imagining you see it posted, and leave everyone else alone.
Next, it’s wibblewobble with a rather specific idea for an act of protest:
RIGHT next to every poster should be “the BDSM commandments. we have 11 so we’re better”
- Thou shalt obey the safe word
- Things inserted into thine anus shall be clean and have no sharp bits
- Spanking is optional as is butt-stuff.
- No biting during Oral unless the other person asks for it
- Thou shalt not overtweak other peoples nipples unless it really gets them off….
etc
make the poster 4x bigger than the bible version…
For editor’s choice on the funny side, we start out with one last comment from MrWilson, this time in response to the question of whether the “Trump Phone” would be “gold plated, painted or only photoshopped?”:
All three in fact! It’s “gold-plated” for marketing purposes, gold-painted for legal purposes, and photoshopped for practical purposes since it doesn’t actually exist yet.
Finally, it’s Nathan F with a comment about the judge in the Abrego Garcia case recognizing that the DOJ’s evidence is obviously garbage:
I see the judge in this case ran the evidence by their five year old child.
That’s all for this week, folks!
