I'm a little shy of 40 and it took me a minute to remember about the meme of the gap in Dave Letterman's teeth.

Are you missing a /s on this, because some people unironically believe what you said so you're gonna get showered in those down votes.

I want this to have a /s, I wish it wasn't necessary but in today's world it seems to be. I read your post as satire fwiw

Worst part is that Shirley was going through the process of naturalization and working to be here legally. Through a process the military had put in place for just this exact kind of thing.

She had no criminal record, has been here for a decade, and has faithfully reported for her hearings. Not to mention she is gainfully employed.

Why the fuck are we wasting time and resources deporting this person?

Why the fuck would anyone buy this?

I hate that there is (apparently) an actual market for this product. We live in a society of idiots.

Uhh no offense to you since I kind of included you in the idiots category there.

That was meant to be a reply to another post you're right. Not sure how that happened. Whoopsies! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: this was meant to be a reply to a comment on here about how the Dems/Republicans are the same where dude threw in a bunch of links to "show" stuff that the links didn't actually show. So deserved down votes I suppose but will leave this here.

Not sure if they have a terrible memory, I think you just have poor reading comprehension. Just glancing through a few of the articles you sent trying to "gotcha" some poster(s) here shows you didn't even read them. If you did read them you did a bad job understanding the material.

Just for the deportation example: Biden's deportation and immigration enforcement was not the same as Trump's now. Biden was aggressively going after actual criminals and he was working to create a path to citizenship for folks that have been here illegally for years and put down roots and contributed to our economy. Now we're seeing ICE rounding up people for nothing more than their skin color and a "suspicion" they're not documented. So, just straight up racism.

You included an article where the Dems wanted to keep the green party off a ballot, ok ... And? They're not trying to keep people from voting or suppress the vote. They were trying their best to not have a spoiler candidate on the ballot and felt that aligned with the state's election laws.

Anyways, I wouldn't call the parties the same when you can just look at what policies and legislation passed under Democrats vs Republicans. Easy example - the affordable care act.

Unfortunately true. Worth reading that snopes article just to see how much fucked up stuff was actually happening though. It's not a mischaracterization to say they stole from kids with cancer through self dealing.

I didn't realize it was a specific instance for it when I saw this the first time! But thanks for the clarification

I guess maybe it makes sense or is funny within the context of the story arc or knowing more about the comic. For me it doesn't really hit but the illustration is quite well done.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You and me both buddy

I think the comment is just calling out that one political party seems to have a lot more pedos than the other based on who has been arrested over the past ... Idk let's just say decade or so.

Obviously we all know not all Republicans are pedophiles but they sure as hell seem to harbor way more of them than Dems and it's not even slander it's just true.
