THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: Week of August 19-25

 

Friends, is it even worth talking about anything except the Mug Shot Seen 'Round the World? Granted, we had Tropical Storm Hilary which the Republicans were hoping to indict. A young man named Oliver Anthony somehow went viral with a song that began as a judgement against greedy politicians and cooperate oligarchs, but meandered into a gripe about welfare people eating all his Fudge Rounds. We also lost a wonderful actor, Ron Cephus Jones, known to the This Is Us fandom as William. But, the internet had only one thing on its mind this week. "Bring out the mug shot!" And they did! Let's check it out.

It seems some people have some ‘splainin’ to do. Besides the usual suspect, Donald Trump, this week’s indictees include Rudy Guiliani, John Eastman, Sydney Powell and Jenna Ellis. Looks like the lights finally  came back on in Georgia! Smoke still rises from the devastation of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. Schools are back in session. And Elvis has been dead for 46 years. Despite Twitter being on life support, the internet had plenty to say. Let’s check in. 

THE FUNNY PAPERS, The Week In Memes: July 29-August 4 Edition

 With another week in the books, we saw the arrival of the least favorite month to school kids and teachers everywhere - August. Between the dog days, school supply lists, and the Christmas decorations on store shelves, the end of summer is in sight. This week, Mike Pence is on the “He really did lose the election” tour; Rudy Guilliani is sweating hair dye;  Ginni Thomas is begging donors to hide her in a Swiss Bank Account,  all thanks to a certain indictment report. We lost a beloved actor and children’s entertainer, Paul Reubens. And the recession we were all worried about has gone into hiding. What say you, internet?

As the summer days get shorter, Trump Indictments are becoming fruitful and multiplying.  Just as nature intended. Speaking of nature, air conditioners have been working overtime along with some brutal storm systems. Fox News host Jesse Watters continued to expose the Idiocracy by claiming slavery taught the enslaved useful skills that helped them later in life. The internet had plenty to say about that, but I’d have to use the bleep button to post any of it. Sadly, we lost the gifted and fearless Sinead O’Connor.   Time to check out the chatter. 

THE FUNNY PAGES: The Week In Memes:

The most embarrassing week in news history began with Marjorie Taylor Green displaying photos of a very naked Hunter Biden on the floor of Congress. Of course, to hear the internet talk, that was nothing compared to  Miranda Lambert embarrassing concert goers by chastising then for taking selfies during her performance. Meanwhile, RFK, Jr.  embarrassed himself by whining to Congress that social media is run by big old meanies!  Then, Jason Aldean embarrassed country music by recording a song called “Don’t Try That In a Sundown Small Town," then proceeded to film the video on a plantation notorious for lynchings. On a sad note, we lost one of the most dignified men in music - a man who understood the value of being classy (unlike the aforementioned) - Mr. Tony Bennett. Let's find out what the internet had to say.

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: June 1-7 Edition

This week was quieter than usual because Americans figured out how to obtain a four-day weekend out of a Tuesday holiday! The economy is thriving despite the existence of Hunter Biden. Madonna was hospitalized for a bacterial infection. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter celebrated 77 years of wedded bliss, which would make Miss Lillian proud. Plus, a brand new social media site popped up to take on Twitter.  Speaking of social media, what was happening on there this week?

 The last week of June started with a bang as the Wagner Group spent one whole day instigating a coup before they calmly said, “Never mind!” It ended with a whimper as smoke from the Canadian forest  fires continued to blanket the Midwest before heading south. Where’s Smoky the Bear when we need him? Madonna was hospitalized, Alan Arkin passed away, and the Supreme Court’s poll ratings are on life support. How did the internet take to all the latest news?
