Political Humor

[synergy29]

How funny it is when Indian government wants to bring the CAA act which Excludes Muslims and the opposition opposes it and the opposition in their own ruled states bring acts which only gives benefits to Muslims and  calls it secular !

Feels like I'm missing a lot of context.

But I'm sure it could be funny...

It’s not actually humor, but is instead commentary on policy

Kind of what I thought, no twist to the context.

It depends what you mean by "funny"

"Funny peculiar, or funny ha- ha?"
because it's not actually much of a joke.

On the other hand, it's possibly unusual enough to warrant a  mention- but not in a jokes thread.

And the sad truth is the hypocrisy among politicians isn't  very unusual

Our pregnant friend had a sonogram yesterday and there was a Bloomberg 2020 ad on the readout

Is it sad that I cannot tell whether that is a joke or not...?

No, no, no...

The quote is

"I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown? I amuse you?
I make you laugh? I’m here to fuckin’ amuse you? Waddya mean “funny”? Funny how? How am I funny?"

Joe Pesci, as Tommy, in Goodfellas to Ray Liotta, as Henry.

They skipped the one where he jumps in the lifeboat, before anyone else knows what's going on (maybe they couldn't assign a number).

We now need to add "It was the international Maritime Organisation's fault that we hit the iceberg, so I'm not paying my membership fee".

From the administration:

Seriously people. Stop taking life jackets! There is no proven benefit to the passengers, who have not been trained to put them on, and if they keep taking them there won't be enough for the captain and crew.

Here's how to easily make your own personal flotation device....while not an approved life jacket it may keep you afloat for an unknown period of time...

Well I am all stocked up on Dettol in case I come down with covid 19,  and I have a couple of UV-C germicidal lamps just for good measure

I would have thought you'd give him a white hood ( KKK ) mask, INow, not a 'gimp' ( Pulp Fiction ) mask.

They’re not mutually exclusive, I reckon

More sad than funny, but sorry, Marco. Wrong black guy

Quote

 Sens. Marco Rubio and Dan Sullivan took heat Saturday for mixing up Rep. John Lewis and Rep. Elijah Cummings in tributes to Lewis. 

In a since-deleted Twitter post, Rubio, the Florida Republican said it was "an honor to know & be blessed with the opportunity to serve in Congress with JohnLewis (sic) a genuine & historic American hero.

The picture attached to the tweet, however, was of Cummings, who died in October last year. 

Sullivan’s initial Facebook tribute to Lewis featured a photo of Sullivan, R-Alaska, and Cummings at the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. The revised tribute omitted the reference to the museum, and the photo of the pair was replaced with a picture of Lewis alone

Humiliating that he also made the pic of him with the wrong black guy his profile photo
