Why is everyone on the politics stream so upset, anyway? It’s morning in America. MAGA.

Well, yeah!

Sorry KF, but this meme escapes me. George Floyd was killed well after Trump was acquitted, so even as sarcasm, this seems to miss the point. And where do these quotes come from? is it you? Do explain. Thanks.

This one’s hot off the presses

But it’s CNN, so take it with a grain of salt :)

As for the impeachment: That was only 5 months ago! Hardly ancient history, though it may seem like it given everything that’s happened since.

Trump hoisting the newspaper announcing his acquittal is an iconic image that’s sure to go down in the American history books along with Tricky Dick’s peace signs he flashed after resigning and flying into the sunset

Hope that helps

I know it's practically committing suicide here on the flip to admit you don't quite get it, meme-wise.. but... I haven't been able to follow any news today. I take it you're saying Trump was holding up that newspaper today? If so, I'm going to have to actually check into it, because that would qualify as one of those off the wall things he does, that at least superficially, seems like it would be pretty hard to defend. Maybe if I'd known what's going on, I'd have sailed right past your meme!

No, he didn’t lift the acquittal paper today to my knowledge:

Just as I’m reasonably sure he didn’t stand at this exact podium flanked by American flags just like this today, nor flash a smug and certain look exactly like this today, nor quit Washington and tee off at one of his private golf courses looking exactly like this today,

But all these stock images likely serve as the template for at least one meme created today.

Hope this helps.

I'm actually more confused now, but that's okay. I think I got off my game the other day because I spent most of my time chasing down the incredibly ignorant comments from Vagabond douché. I'd like to think I have more mental discipline / ability, but there's that old saying about catching fleas when hanging around dogs. I think responding to his posts has sadly, inevitably, dumbed me down a bit... I think I'm ready for the weekend.

Okay.

Tl;dr: Trump lifting the acquittal paper is just one of my go-tos for presenting one of his latest asinine quotes in a faux-positive light.

Here’s another recent one in that mold that did well: nearly 2000 views! imgflip.com/i/439yru

As for Vaga: just block him. It is hilarious to just see [blocked comment] pop up every now and then.

Okay, maybe this will help. The meme was just missing a punchline.

I found the perfect one on a Slate comment :)
