Even though it was hard to make fun of all the goings on this week, I think I managed a few bright spots.

    I use the Socrates one all the time. Thanks for the exact quote, although now I'm going to have to learn the real word he uses for "losers."

    Also really liked the political cartoon "Impeach him!" and Einstein's prescience.

    Best one was "Now entering 2021" overseen by the eye of Sauron.

      Thanks for pointing out the eye of Sauron. I saw the flames beyond the sign and figured "uh huh". After your post I zoomed in on the meme and - holy smokes - this is even better!

    Someone explain this name calling to me. If I say someone is a facist, KKK mbr, or racist....that's hate speech. But a news channel person can say it and no one blinks?

      They can but you can't...they have the privilege...yet they need not apologize.

      They get hate, therefore hate speech, wrong. Hate is not verbal, it's physical...like a kick in the head. For an action or any behavior to be hate, it must be expressed with physical animosity or at least the threat of physical hostility.

      At least that is the definition I grew up with...just try finding that today!

        Thanks but I have recently seen how words can wound a person. Happened to a friend of mine. She was viciously attacked by a 30 year 'friend' when my friend said, "Biden isn't my President."

    Nice set of memes this week, OUC. The messaging is more important than trying to be funny - even dark humor. Sad, really, but there is some humor in it such as "Anybody seen my laptop?" and Trump hides nuclear codes.

    A lot of truth conveyed in cartoon form such as the sharks in the bloody water around the Statue of Liberty and "IMPEACH"!

      I was interested in the one about Plousy's laptop. There is a "theory" that the laptop was targeted. Is there any info about that? There was a video that showed a "masked" person with a bulge under his coat that inferred it was the laptop.
      Also speaking of laptops....where is Hunter's? Has Trump gotten any info from that he can use as leverage later. Maybe release embarrassing info later?

        We are hoping it ALL comes out during an Emergency Broadcast or "Giant Voice" notification announcement that would take over the air waves...if not, then that too was nothing more than a wet dream.

    Hoping to be able to make fun of all the creatures in DC and the Cities running, panicking, falling down and being Zip Tied!

    Here's to better times, My Friends.

    When the debate is lost . . .
    This reminds me of something that I just heard on the radio -- Don Lemon of CNN has been heard stating that...
    "The KKK supports Donald Trump. The White Aryan Nation supports Donald Trump. How can anyone support a man who is supported by racists and white supremacists...?"

    Good grief. This reminds me. Don Lemon is dumb.
    Any home-schooled 10 year old will tell you that Mister Lemon is employing the Association Fallacy. Example -- Hitler liked chocolate ice cream ... how, on Earth, can anyone choose to eat chocolate ice cream when Hitler enjoyed it...?

    I often pause when someone is arguing with me and they employ a very silly logical fallacy. My opponent must be gleefully rejoicing in their victory in context of my being speechless. Nope. I am just a bit flabbergasted that a supposedly grown up person would make such a silly childish mistake.

    Here is one of my favorite examples of Fallacy of Association:
