More of a Brony, in'it?
Are farm animals the only ones who read printed papers anymore?
Happy New Year!!!
Yes, but mostly just for the sudoku, or to line their stalls
Unser gro?er Erretter wird seinem Volk die unsterblichen Gebote der sozialistischen Ideologie lehren.
Ein Reich, ein F?hrer. Es lebe der ewige Pr?sident! Es lebe Barack Obama!
Couldn't have said it better myself.
[That was sarcasm, right?]
No I think it was German, so there are probably six different terms for sarcasm, each with a difference in meaning so subtle no one outside of Germany would be able to tell them apart.
Wirklich?
I didn't fight and die in five world wars only to read German snark
But I said it with a Swiss accent!
I'm other words, you didn't say it in German at all.
Are you quite certain it was not sauerkraut? Or maybe sore kraut?
Yeah. I was mocking the singularly cultish proponents of Il Douche's reign.
Il Douche? Why not mock Italian?
Der Esel nennt sich immer zuerst (that's about 80% of the Deutsch I know)
Left off the "Sieg Heil."
Funny premise.... minus the notion that the Democrats as a group are aware that Obama actually cost them. As the only popular Democrat politician at the moment, I think their opinion of him is quite the opposite.
In fact, I think they are still in a self-delusion that Hillary is awesome and "the people" are really with her (if only the racists and the Russians hadn't stolen the election).
So personifying DNC interests as a separate entity from actual DNC people creates a little dissonance.... as you read it and assimilate the joke you also are going "yeah, but no Democrat is actually thinking that".
I think quite a few actually do believe that and very well may be right. Not that the governorships and state seats are complete non sequiturs in the argument but it seems to me that most Democrats' political energy is spent on who we send to Washington. Considering their inherent belief that as much power as possible should be held at the federal level it makes sense, in a twisted way, that they would have a greater shot at the presidency and congressional seats while losing big at the local and state level.
It's kind of tough to groom for the national level without success at the local and state level.
Yes, I intentionally avoid the sports analogies to appeal to a wider audience.

Of course, after having said that, I get this song stuck in my head.
Out of Touch and out of time, indeed.

Say it isn't so.
I think those in the inner, inner power structure of the DNC are aware of the costs of Obama. Rank and file are still on board, if my Facederp feed is anything to go by.
This is a very disrespectful cartoon. Everyone knows the President quit smoking years ago.
Yes, but he didn't inhale.
Somewhere our trolls are fapping at attack speed.
Hey! I may be short, hair and have bad breath, but that doesn't mean i'm a T... oh, okay.
hairy... I meant hairy.
WHERE IS THE STUPID EDIT BUTTON!!!!!
*Ahem!*

How do they know homo sapiens didn't eat 'em? That's about the time we were entering Europe. Poor Neanderthals. They need safe spaces and bubble machines for all the crap they get from the cis sapien patriarchy!!
Maybe their plane crashed next to this cave and they were stuck there and had no choice but to eat the dead.
Even if it proves cannibalism, it doesn't prove that it wasn't mortuary endocannibalsim, which endured in 'sapiens' well into the 20th centory (and may still be going on regardless of the prion risks)
George Donner could prove the same for homo hungry.
That picture is triggering. How dare you use Uncle Fred's likeness to illustrate a cannibal!
Thing is I'm pretty sure Obama is right.
While the Democrats remain largely unpopular and to the extent they have ideas and run on them (the typical Democrat campaign is far more about demonizing the Republican than can be said about Republicans demonizing the democrats) those ideas are not particularly popular for some reason Obama is himself personally very popular.
Had Obama been allowed to run again he absolutely would have beaten Trumpand I think he probably would have beaten pretty much any Republican except possibly Fiorina (first woman president and not objectively evil like Hillary) and Paul
