  • I think a big part of why it’s funny is because the original was so very NOT funny. It was such an intensely dark shift in tone, a deliberately serious dramatic beat, in a comic that was all silly fun, completely unexpected and out of place.

    If it was just a miscarriage joke then yeah it’d just be purely fucked up, and pretty quickly forgotten. It’s the meta context that turns the whole thing into more of a joke than any single comic could tell.






  • The Pentagon has contingency plans for every situation they can imagine. This is not news so much as it’s just another example of Hesgeth being a fucking moron. They have plans to invade everywhere, they have contingency plans to counterattack against a Canadian invasion for fuck sake. They have these plans because if a situation arises, you don’t have the time to be cooking up new plans. Hesgeth acting like this is actually a plan that’s being considered it just another example of why he’s not fit to manage a godamn Mcdonalds, much less anything important.






  • The traditional 2A guys are on the side of the tyrants. It was never about resisting tyranny, never about freedom. It was a combination of “I like guns, fuck off,” fear of the world around them, and fantasizing about violence against liberals. The government they want to violently resist is the kind that’s forcing them to surrender their home to immigrants or trying to make their kids gay. They daydreamed about shooting rainbow-haired liberals trying to flounce in and steal their guns, not police and national guard following orders. Tyrants sending immigrants to concentration camps and making “the gays” legal targets for persecution are exactly what those traditional 2A twats want.

    It’s why leftists and LGBTQ+ arming themselves is so important. We cannot count on the 2A Old Guard to protect us, their rhetoric about resisting tyranny and keeping the government in check was a lie. Given the chance they’d gladly join the MAGAstappo instead of lifting a finger to protect actual freedom.



  • Sometimes I think about how if any previous president had done, over the course of their entire career, the things Trump does in the average week, or sometimes even just a single day, it would have immediately ended their career. If a previous president had openly stated that if a specific person funded their rivals there would be serious consequences, that’d be it. They’d be done. Impeached on the spot, out of office, blacklisted by their own party, and shamed for all of history.

    The news cycle crucified Obama for wearing a tan suit. They raked him over the coals because he was so out of touch that he asked a burger place if they had Dijon mustard. What do you think they’d have done if he openly promised retribution against those who dared disagree with him like this?

    And Donald motherfucking Trump does this crap all the godamn time, and he just gets away with it because the Republicans like that it’s their tyrant, the Democrats are afraid of actually doing anything, and by the time the public can mobilize against one thing he’s already done three more things that make the past look trivial.
