These people still don’t care for the First Amendment.

    Mr Vance, as your public relations manager, I fully support the idea of pushing to ban “memes.” This will only serve you positive results and will absolutely bolster your already soaring popularity among literally everyone. Good show. Slow clap.

    Nobody takes this seriously (I hope), but coming from MAGA’s #2, it’s all just a little too on the nose.

    People taking dumbass shit like this seriously is why the right will do literally whatever the fuck they want in this country. It takes 2 seconds of critical thinking and investigation to see that this is a complete nothing statement made as a joke. Yet half the people in the comments are gonna lock themselves in a bedroom and cry over this “attack on free speech”.

    I really fucking hate it when people say “both sides are just as bad”, but c’mon guys. This is “the LIBS are trying to make your kids TRANS!” levels of stupid.

      We have a president openly selling pardons, violating the Emoluments clause of the Constitution, illegally accepting bribes and gifts from foreign countries, and breaking laws without a second thought. Six Supreme Court justices openly accepting bribes from plaintiffs in cases before them, then ruling in their favor. Those justices completely ignore the Constitution, black-letter law and 250 years of precedent and make shit up to justify decisions that have no possible justification. A HHS chief who believes Youtube over science and is dismantling the very organization he oversees, plus blocking new vaccine development and deployment of existing, effective vaccines. The list goes on and on.

      The GQP has shown that they will do whatever the fuck they want because there are literally no consequences. Some people crying over attacks on free speech isn’t going to make a damn bit of difference to them either.

    For the awareness of the elderly, 6-7 is starting to evolve, at least locally, into a call and response with the response to a 6-7 hand gesture being 8-9 with a kind of horizontal movement of vertical hands in a similar fashion. I’m unsure how local the trend is, it’s true origin, or if it will spread.

    It’s interesting that to those not initiated into the call and response by peers will see knowledgeable non-peers providing the response as mocking or failing to understand the meme, thus further cementing it’s role as a tool as an in joke to the 6-7’er, despite them now being on the outside of the evolution of the joke, which is a wonderful contradiction.

    How the fuck do you “ban” something like this? Everyone wears a monitor? Track down and deport anyone who posts it online?

    The idiocy of this doomed country is exhausting.
