The chosen one...

270221thechosenone

270221thechosenone1

“CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference kicks off today. To avoid those pesky librul health codes and safety regulations in Washington, they’re holding the annual hootenanny down in Orlando this year. Where apparently, they believe Covid dares not venture.
.
So they wheeled this abomination in yesterday (I added the reference picture below). What are they trying to say here? Are they mocking Democrats who insist they’ve become a cult? And this an attempt at self-deprecation? Could it be that they’re hoping to appease their god with his graven image when he comes down from on high to address his assembled devotees? Or will this be the centerpiece at the Diet Coke fountain? For a party that bends over backwards to label themselves as the “traditional moral values” party; the one that reveres the Bible above everything, including the Constitution, this strikes me as odd. Not sure how well it’ll play with the Bible belters, but what do I know? Nothing he’s done has offended them yet.
.
If you require more evidence that the GOP is now the wholly owned party of Trump, here’s what’s on the CPAC agenda (I’m not making this up). Under the category of “protecting elections”:
.
Part 1) Why We Must Protect Elections
Part 2) Why Judges & Media Refused to Look at the Evidence
Part 3) The Left Pulled the Strings, Covered it Up, and Even Admits It
Part 4) Failed States—Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Oh My!
.
Yep. Still pining over the Big Lie. And lest you misinterpret their obsession with “protecting elections,” they don’t mean actually PROTECTING them. They mean protecting them from black and brown voters who tend NOT to vote for the party of the Golden Ghoul. The twice-impeached, Putin-playtoy, under-criminal-investigation, accused-rapist himself will speak on Sunday, where he is expected to unload on Nancy Pelosi, President Biden, Liz Cheney and Mike Pence (not necessarily in that order).
.
Trump’s the name, vindictiveness is the game.
.
According to Matt Schlapp, Chairman of the American Conservative Union, there’s a perfectly good reason for any idolatry you might detect at CPAC 2021: “If the schedule seems Trump-heavy, it's because the conservative movement and what Trump got done as president converged.”
.
Uh-huh. Unless of course, if you ask actual traditional conservatives like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. They’ll point out the corruption, the incompetence, the 30,000 lies, the rejection of science and medicine, the $8T added to the debt and quintupling of the deficit under the stewardship of their fallen hero... the latter of which are contrary to the message of “fiscal conservatism.” Not that anyone ever believed in that anyway, but until Trump came along, it always played well with the hayseeds.
.
I’m tempted to tune in just to see if a modern-day Republican Moses shows up and throws a copy of the Bill of Rights at this hideous thing.”

Trump loyalists credit The United States(!) of A, for the Messiah's resurrection!

Trump: "MAGA can go & hang themselves!"
"I was a gonna, then my Austrian fans loaned me The Shark's Green Jacket ?"
"I salute my adoring swellnet groupies that stokeded my oranges at half time."

swellnet's orange boyz : "All hail Westofthelakes' Chosen One!"

Trump Recital (Days 1 thru 7)
"I'm not starting a new party...Fake News!"
"I vow to banish those weaklings from God's Earth for a 3rd & final time!"

As Stan Grant says "Trump and Biden are opposite sides of the same coin"

"Liberalism and communism both lead us to tyranny. "

I respect Stan Grant but that is one of the worst false equivalences I've ever read.

What you say might be true Freeride but I think the point he is making is closer to this

“Biden is a more decent face on a rotting system.”

I guess any flavour of democracy or liberal values can be corrupted.

But as always, there's no better alternative out there.

Maybe Stan Grant is talking specifically about American “liberalism” leading us to tyranny - a bit of poetic license.

“Biden is a more decent face on a rotting system.”

The U.S. are always looking for that, Obama is another obvious example.

Australia’s not immune to it either.

The legislative changes made in the background (now and in the past) are having the same affect here.

Even the ABC has started to ( begrudgingly) acknowledge that mass immigration pushes down wages and living standards.

Memo has denied this FACT for years and still would have you believe he cares about class warfare. Naom Chomsky would kick you fair in your vagina if he caught you spouting your crap about working class struggles whilst simultaneously defending the practices used to suppress them.

Many farcical attempts at obfuscation : “ But what exactly do you mean by immigration ? Permanent or temporary “.........lololol. It’s all the same you dumb cnt and everybody knows it .

Come on bloke - you’re a fake left clown who hates the working class.

“And Memo ? You can get stomped by Indo
You fifty six year old baldheaded f#g, blow me
You don't know me, you're too old, let go
It's over, nobody listen to shitty pommy techno*”

* Or whatever you call that dreary faux-hard, try -hard Sleaford Mods rubbish

BTW - Memo lift your freakin game.

If you’re going to try and create a Marcel Marceau style character who only expresses themselves through the art of meme, can you at least have a proper go instead of the dross you keep serving up repeatedly.

I don’t even understand that cartoon lion rubbish, it’s not remotely funny and yet you’ve posted it multiple times. You’re dragging down the vibe bloke. Sort your shit out.

It ain’t hard. The last two I posted were created by myself. Perhaps not world beating humour but at least a nod to creating something semi original . Why not give it a try instead of putting up the stale white dogshit you’ve been running.

Have a go to get a go bloke.

100% agree Blowin to pull off just posting memes you would need to be original and post memes we have never seen and be clever/witty posting the right meme at the right time, and understanding less is often more.

Clearly Facto doesn't get this concept though just re-posting the same memes over and over often real crappy ones, or just flooding a thread with memes, not surprised though.
