1. One of your best EarlG

18. I was thinking the exact same thing.

[sandensea]

2. Sort of goes downhill, doesn't it.

I shudder to think what the 2040s will look like for the dear old GOP.

3. (To the GOP): Thank God you republicans won that war back in the 1860s.

7. That is a bit of a head-scratcher

Waiving instead of waving; Baited instead of bated from last week.

Again this is one of those weird 4chan-esque internet things involving misspelled words I am not getting .

[JHB]

14. Just the overweeing sense of entitement that they feel no need to make the effort to proofread.

"So what if it's not perfect?" They're real Americans, and you're a lesser being who's nitpicking small stuff when you know what they mean.

Of course, mistakes by anyone else are all the more reason to look down on them.


It's not limited to the 4chan crowd.

20. Hmmm yeah

Both that image and the original one give off the alt right troll vibe (which generic typoes need not). After all no one would object to Trumpers "waiving" (i.e. dispensing with) the confederate flag. And while lots of liberals (quite rightly) dislike Romney, I have not seen any who think he works for the CIA.

4. No kidding

[yuiyoshida]

5. This, Earl!

Hammer please meet Nai ...

[Initech]

6. 40 years of AM radio demonizing us brought us here.

[hibbing]

8. Love that you squeezed the Ivanka in this one EarlG n/t

[bullwinkle428]

9. Reagan begat the party of the 2020s, for sure.

The Reagan era was replete with evidence to back that up.

[orangecrush]

23. Yup.

[Augiedog]

10. They have never been nor are they now the "Party of Lincoln ".

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. Beyond sad. It's actually frightening.

[JHB]

12. The Party of Ahab

[LittleGirl]

13. I blame it all on Reagan

Thankfully, I didn’t vote for that guy. He and Newt have torn our country inside out.
Them, right wing radio and Fox Spews cemented their b.s.
This boomer is mad as hell.

[ffr]

17. +1

When news became 24/7 entertainment was when I stopped watching. It is programming and I want nothing to do with it.

[LittleGirl]

24. It's awful. I remember how

News was broadcast. My memory reminds me of when Ford pardoned Nixon and I was mad for days!

[Proud liberal 80]

15. No difference between Reagan's party and now

He created this current party with his dog whistles

[ffr]

16. Goughliani should be pictured touchign himself. That's how I'll always

remember him.

[Auggie]

19. Really well done, EarlG

[C Moon]

21. That pic of McConnell and his evil, beaming smile, says it all.

[pwb]

22. Good one.

Thanks.

[DonaldsRump]

25. Excellent. One of your finest.

I'm learning that the simpler the message, the harder it hits.

And this hit hard in all the right places!

[Fritz Walter]

26. They're the Party of Putin

Premier Vladimir Putin wanted to make Russia more powerful, and one way of doing that was to diminish our global presence (or “power”).
That goal was accomplished over the past four years.

While much of restoring our positive global presence is already underway — Thanks to the Biden-Harris team! — it will be years (decades?) before our allies will fully place their trust in us again. From energy issues to health matters — i.e. COVID-19 response — we have a LOT to accomplish before Vladdy’s sad.Eh?

[lamp_shade]

27. Good one.

[pbmus]

28. LMAO...

[dchill]

29. Looks like the Party of Personal Responsibility to me!

[StClone]

30. Ha Ha why is this much different than Reagan's Psycho pile

If you look back at his crazy you may uncover much the same. His maladministration threw mental ill out on the streets, had a wacky James Watt, Government money used to influence elections and more. Here is a site that has a few notables: https://listverse.com/2015/01/15/10-reprehensible-crimes-of-ronald-reagan/

One last thing Reagan was not compos mentis, and neither was Tee-man.

31. Kick

32. Best part is that neither Diaper Don nor his sons Uday and Qusay are in the pic.

33. Chock full o' Nuts!

Now even nuttier!
