All I can think about is this meme.
Classic meme where a baby is dressed in an orange prison outfit with mean eyebrows and a handlebar mustache drawn on. Timeout changes a man.

Everybody is having a joke at his expense. What a buffoon.
Patty and Otto from the Simpsons are joking about Trump while on the school bus. Otto is saying "Trump had a piece of food on his face for three days. It wasn't little either. It was a chicken wing"

It's always the same scientist and it's always the same explanation.
Classic Elmo meme where Elmo is faced with a choice between fruits and cocaine. Elmo is labeled as Avi Loeb. The fruits are labeled as Dozens of plausible explanations. The cocaine is labeled as Aliens. Elmo inevitably chooses the cocaine

I guess I'll dust this one off again....
Classic Elmo meme where Elmo is labeled as Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb. He is faced with a choice between fruits and vegetables labeled "dozens of plausible explanations" and a pile of cocaine labeled "aliens". Inevitably, Elmo/Loeb chooses the cocaine/aliens.

Every time...
Elmo choosing cocaine meme. Elmo is labeled "Avi Loeb". Fruits are labeled "Dozens of plausible explanations". The cocaine is labeled "aliens". Of course Avi Loeb chooses the cocaine/aliens.

"Borrowing from China" is a flat-out lie and he knows it. The vast majority of U.S. debt is held by U.S. entities. China holds less than $1 trillion, less than 3% of the total.
Pie graph showing U.S. public debt as of Q3 2024. $36 trillion in total. 55% U.S. investors and other holders. 7% Social Security. 13% Federal Reserve. 24% Foreign Investors.

In an iconic scene from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, Donald Trump is dressed as a bear prepared to give Vladimir Putin some oral pleasure. Just like any other day.

As a geography nerd, I have strong opinions about geography.
A map of the Gulf of Mexico that was mislabeled. An added comment says "This is stupid. I'm not calling it that".

In which "saving money" actually ends up harming everyone in the end.
In panel one, Rod Flanders says "I don't like these pronouns". In panel two, Bart says "I wouldn't take it down if I were you. It's a load-bearing government program."
