Lol, they're scared it won't be there later if Trump gets desperate.

Well at least you've retrenched from this is "manufacturing evidence" to this "implies" something. Which in no way are the same thing. I agree with you that it vaguely implies something about our Navy assets and sailors being worked too hard during this war, which is certainly a fair point for discussion, but that wasn't your original argument in any way. So from a motte and bailey fallacy perspective I feel good about that progress. Also a pretty bold move calling your own wall of text on the matter "all the context" but that's rather beside the point.

This better not be real. Then again there was a girl in high school who was extremely into the idea that she was Trinity from the Matrix and I was her Neo. And I don't mean in a cute way, I mean in a genuinely concerning blurring of reality and fiction way.

Honestly he should do it. Etch this embarrassment even deeper into the history books.

I don't see what factual argument is being made in ANY of the three layers of this meme. Or how Trump is mentioned or involved at all. "The ship has arrived at port" with a photo of the ship. Surely your issue isn't with that. "My God, the state of that ship" is not a factual assertion of anything, except that the ship externally looks pretty rough in that photo after that long deployment. And "A passenger on the titanic had a better experience" is is obviously not an earnest assertion of fact either, it's a joke. Sinking into the freezing Atlantic and 2/3rds of them dying is not meant as some serious comparison to serving on a Navy vessel for a long deployment, it's humor. Nothing is being asserted in these memes, nothing even vaguely related to Trump is mentioned, and I'd love to hear your argument for how any of the text or images here are rising to the alarmist level of "manufacturing evidence"

Imagine this was a photo of a WWII bomber returning home after a long and hard deployment, you wouldn't interpret someone saying "wow that bomber looks beat to shit" as some kind of misinformation or assertion of fact or personal attack on President Roosevelt would you?

Gee what's it called when corporations and the government are welded together in a power block that controls everything about the nation? Help me out here guys I forget.

Well add him to the long list of rats who think they feel the MAGA ship sinking the last few months. If I thought Milo capable of anything except acting in his own craven self-interest I might even be a bit proud of him.

Just spreading the idea that ICE might be active near polling places on Election Day should be prosecutable as voter intimidation.

Because their book promises them the slaughter of everyone they don't like once a certain series of events kicks off.

Maybe we could ALL use a little pause on the breeding for a mo lol. While the movie does open on the premise that "dumb people having more kids than smart people is what caused this world", I really don't think that ends up being the point of the film. It's pretty obvious that unrestrained corporations, popularity politics, and entertainment that relies on cheap sex and violence are the actual villains of the film, not the poor idiots caught in the web of all that.

The problem with not attempting another impeachment is that it even further lowers the bar for what counts as impeachable behavior. The lesson going forward for conservatives will be that corruption, personal enrichment, stealing and hoarding classified information, inviting other nations to meddle in our elections, using EOs like they allow you to dictate new laws, and mob-style 'negotiating' with our allies, are all perfectly OK from now on.

 

I'm thinking things like "Same-sung" For Samsung, because all their products look kinda generic and boring, or Ford standing for "Fix Or Repair Daily" because of the engineering and build quality, or "McDiabetes", for obvious reasons.

 

Let's get mad like the gif days.
