I thought you were smarter than that. I posted a cute remark about something that didn't exist. The other guy was in triggered mode. Sorry I hurt your alt accounts feelings πŸ˜‰

Oh, there is no need to apologize. For one thing, I'm not a liberal and for another, I don't own an alt. When you're 84, you scarcely have time for such silly things. The only reason I can think to have another account on this website would be to post more than two political memes a day. I barely cast more than one or two memes a week.

Also you’re mistaking intelligence for perfection. No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. That doesn’t make one more or less smart.

Here ya go thesis!

If anyone can understand that it's the point the meme makes, rather than it's veracity, I would hope that person would be you.

No. You took the time to attribute it to Mark Twain and put his picture on it, which means you DON'T want the words to speak for themselves - you want the namepower to back it up.

It's not that you need to be smart enough to see the clothes - the Emperor is buck naked.

No thesis, you don't get to tell me what I'm thinking, or feeling, or what my motivation was for making the meme, or what it's supposed to mean. That's liberal dogma 101.

Shame on you for forgetting that, and being outside accepted group think! You may have to explain yourself, standing tall before the committee!

Oh wait... I keep forgetting about the liberal double-standard... dayum!

Check that. My bad thesis. You're all good. Carry on.

eyyyy that's basically my point when i state that imgflip users are being moronic since they saw that "fiery but mostly peaceful protests" headline, though that headline is playing a f**kin' game

My bad. I didn't realize anybody gave a damn about accuracy and truthfulness here on imgflip...

You may have a point. The top political meme is listing President Xi’s atrocities and claiming he still has a Twitter account. And he never had one.

Apologies for all the deleted replies. Phone’s voice to text was having a problem with President Pi’s name.

No worries Doctor. It's all good here on imgflip!

the irony is that a lot of these quotes that imgflip love were made by radical leftists

I think a lot of quotes on the internet were made up by both sides to suit their purposes. I really have no side, not being a republican, nor a democrat... not being a conservative, nor a liberal. I just tend to hate most politicians, as I think Mark Twain may have. Or maybe that was Will Rogers? Hell, if I'm going to just wing it, maybe I should have used Will Rogers? Note to self: wait about a month, and repost this meme, but with Will Rogers...

LOL did he actually say this?
0 ups, 3y
Whoever said it, it doesn't become less true. It sounds like the kind of thing he would say, because he tended to have a witty way of pointing out the truth.

But what the hell, go ahead and argue the truth about who said it. Because you can't argue the truth of what it says.*

*Some idiot will try.

Whaaaaaa? Are you trying to claim Twain didn't say this, doctor?

I figured by now, people know it's the point of the meme, not it's accuracy.

Good grief, if imgflip applied an accuracy standard, 90%+ of the memes from both sides would never be featured.

I would think most political memes would be based in fact. I wouldn’t apply this standard to every meme. What would the fun be in that? The fact of the matter is, this meme perpetuates a myth. You could attribute it to anyone and it would be just as accurate.
1 up, 3y
Exactly. Maybe a month from now, I'll repost, but use Will Rogers instead. πŸ‘€
