Tom the Dancing Bug, IN WHICH President Trump shoots a man on Fifth Ave. and the media urgently reports both the Democratic and Republican perspectives
Sadly these are becoming less and less satire and more plausible reality as each day passes.
Discount Shitler holding what I’m guessing is a half-visible can of SS cola is a subtle detail.
Just a few years ago this would have seemed extreme and absurd.
That was a real good one.
More like “Republicans are lawless”
Oh, the thundering irony of the GOP calling themselves republicans. Rule of law may ass. They’re nothing more now than autocratists.
Bargain Basket Benito?
Deep Discount Jeff Davis?
Current sustaining fantasy: The president does this, and the secret service detail immediately shoots him in the head and plants a gun on the victim.
“So tragic. The president died protecting this crowd from a random shooter. Right everybody?”
The hundred or so grinning New Yorkers present grin and nod.
Moderately off topic - but is this the way BoingBoing has been redesigned, for a retro GeoCities look circa 1996? Or is the formatting broken in Safari?
My view looks like that, only with flashy ads pasted on top of the text. What is this even?
Maybe some A/B testing going on?
I initially read that as “The Aristocrats” and got a hilarious visual.
Less subtle, but no less enjoyable, was the altered DOJ logo.
This seems to happen once a year or so with Safari. I know it’s not a conscious design choice because it looks fine on iOS and, oddly enough, my home machine.
To my ear the “I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it” quote, always sounded like “I couldn’t even get arrested in this town”.
Shocked Booking Agent, “So, what’s this hideously transgressive Act called then?”
Smug Vaudevillian, “The Republican Party!”
That would not end well for the country either.
It loads that way for me when my connection is slow/borked, and has for a very long time. Mostly on mobile chrome. Always assumed it wasn’t completely loading.
