Not left, not right, forward :3 9/11

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 103 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (6 children)

the best part of that cycle was Chris Matthews blubbering and screaming about how Bernie was going to guillotine him in Central Park

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 47 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I always think about that. I remember at the time going 'huh thanks for the idea’ 🤡

[–] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

fr, 'first in the line when we put up guillotines in Central Park' is now part of my vocabulary thanks to him

[–] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 35 points 6 months ago

I refuse to vote for any candidate that doesn't have guillotining Chris Matthews as part of their platform now

[–] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 28 points 6 months ago

That was no joke the point I stopped watching tv news, so in a way I gotta thank him

I googled and googled for Adomian's "wheel of cheese" impression of Chris Matthews but I couldn't find it.

This is off-topic but I'm sharing it anyway - Sebastian Gorka (James Adomian) PROJECT GORKA!!!

Edit: emizeko's comment has the link.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

Gorka is always on-topic tyvm

Okay but like

If they move left they'll still miss the towers. The only way they'll hit is if they stay the course in the center.

Like???

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 50 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

yeah but if they move left they'll hit that bird

[–] Teapot@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago

This is an edit

[–] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago

Not to mention, notice how steeply the plane is already banking to the left. Going left would almost certainly be safer since that’s where the plane is already heading.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 82 points 6 months ago

Libs and trying to push the country right while pretending they are somehow left, name a more iconic duo

[–] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 61 points 6 months ago

Bernie running for president made liberals feel worse than 9/11

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 57 points 6 months ago (3 children)

genuinely confusing. What is the author trying to say? That bernie and warren did 9/11?

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 49 points 6 months ago

They’re saying universal healthcare and passing the PRO act is the same thing as 9/11

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 42 points 6 months ago

if you LOONEY LEFTIES keep pushing for your RADICAL LEFT AGENDA (letting people see the doctor without bankruptcy) you will literally KILL US ALL

[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 29 points 6 months ago

who knows what they were hitting in the original lol

[–] anaesidemus@hexbear.net 52 points 6 months ago

My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 44 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

What does he know?

I-was-saying

Edit: you could also interpret this in a conspiratorial way. What did Obama know about 9/11? illuminati

[–] Nationalgoatism@hexbear.net 31 points 6 months ago

Based liz Warren?

[–] Emanuel 30 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This actually got a good laugh out of me

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] Emanuel 6 points 6 months ago

It equates trying to achieve a slightly less crushing neoliberal policy (going "left") with literal 9/11. Like, the most lukewarm socdem policies are as damaging as blowing up the twin towers. And it makes no attempts at justifying this comparison; the comic just makes the comparison and expects it to be taken at face value. It's so juvenile that it got a laugh out of me.

It's one step away from saying "you're a doodoo head if you like your guy; my guy is way better and cool ;)"

[–] Torenico@hexbear.net 29 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Let's go Bernie, run him over and strike the towers. You'll die in the process but you also take piece of shit liberal Warren with you.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 23 points 6 months ago

It bothers me that bernie is on the right side in this photo, saying to go lwft, and that barack is holding up a sign to go right, but that it's his left.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, what wing of the political spectrum hit the towers again?

Oh right....

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The Trolley Problem, where the top track has 1 World Trade Center, and the bottom track has 2 World Trade Center.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

Having two trolleys makes the solution a bit easy I guess.

[–] Finger@hexbear.net 18 points 6 months ago

no more half measures walter

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

Bin Laden rolling over again

[–] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

They ran into a construction worker on their flight?

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

The socdems are hardly left. Lmao chuds are so deeply unserious

[–] thefreepenguinalt@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Why is this in c/cth rather than in the dunk tank

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's an edit of the original to make it more of a generic meme rather than a dunk.
