Political Humor

Characterizing this as a “hoax” is much too forgiving to Kirk. Terhune has been doing this kind of satire for years. Charlie’s just mad that he can’t recognize that form of humor.

The gem here was that the real driver of that garbage truck happened to be a dead-ringer for Terhune  - full face, balding head, and a flowing ginger/red beard.  Brent said in another podcast that all he had to do was buy a cheap yellow HiViz jacket from a costume store, jam a black WCW forage cap on his head -  and then turn the camera on !

I first saw one of Terhune’s videos back in September 2020, when he pretended to be one of the MAGA  boat owners who had sunk on Lake Travis in Texas during a Trump boat parade. I had to watch that one twice to be quite sure it was a parody

Yeah I'm losing it...

As it seems to be upsetting MAGA Republicans, Fox TV Hosts, and Russian Troll-bots alike - it's probably worth flagging up this mischievous and wittily written 'Go Vote' advert from the  'Vote Harris/Walz' campaign.

The people who wish this can start by getting rid of all their devices and cutting off their access to all news sources. I'd rather they be completely uninformed than ill informed. If they do watch any news it has to be reruns of news from the fifties. Let them live their fantasy while the rest of the world moves on and leaves them behind!

The best part of the joke is that The Onion really did buy InfoWars (but for slightly different reasons than the "CEO" states above).

Going to be smiling all day over that one.

This morning I saw a video of a man who voted for Trump because he wanted to kill Obamacare but now he is angry because he is unemployed and realized the ACA he depends on for his healthcare is Obamacare.

 

I never thought leopards would eat MY face, sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating Peoples Faces Party.

In the version I saw, when it was explained to him, he then blamed the liberals for being stupid enough to have two names for the same thing.
