LAUGHTER REALLY IS THE BEST MEDICINE

Whew. I was worried that America has become comfortably numb to our crazy president. We may despair over him stripping us of our freedoms and humanity, but we still retain the ability to point out that he actually doesn’t have any new clothes. Internet snark will always rule the day. So while we watch, listen, and read our president melting down in real time over an issue that all the entitlement, money, power, and vitriol will not save him from, we all need a laugh or two… Trump is underwater on all the issues of his presidency, but he is most dramatically underwater over Jeffrey Epstein. Trump said Coke would be now be made using cane sugar, like Mexico (irony?). Of course no one told Coca-Cola, right? Social media users posted memes of Coke bottles emblazoned with the words “Trump is on the List” and, in small letters below, “Now with cane sugar.” Trump has never offered any information about his health, and his doctors always say he’s Superman, so media users view the recent WH announcement of a vein issue with skepticism. “Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition where the veins in the legs have difficulty drawing attention from the fact that the Epstein Files still haven’t been released,” one social media meme read. Trump orders two sports teams to change back to their old more derogatory names, for the good of the people being insulted, but that attempt to control the narrative fizzled too. “The thing about the Redskins and Indians is that Donald Trump is on the Epstein list,” one social media user wrote. Trump also posted his usual batshit crazy WTF images of intelligence agents and politicians in prison garb as if in mug shots, and reposted both an image of lawmakers in handcuffs and an AI-generated video showing Obama being arrested by FBI agents and then being held in a jail cell. Meidas Touch posted: “The crazy thing about Donald Trump posting an AI video of Obama getting arrested is that Trump once had someone organize a party for him and invite a bunch of ‘young women’ and it turned out Jeffrey Epstein was his only other guest.” Now. Don’t you feel better after a good laugh? The gift that keeps on giving. To comedians. To social media. To the left. To the right. To the middle. To we the people. Karma might be a thing after all.
