Our surprisingly affordable, Congress is to democracy as Karens are to the management. We are so far down the slippery slope to hell of bipartisanship we may as well stoop to the lowest form of humor, the pun, and call it the Susan #Collinsization of the free world.
Spoiler alert: A meme created by an unattributed individual that uses an image from the end of the movie “planet of the apes“ in which the character played by Charlton Heston arrives at the understanding that the so-called planet of the apes is actually the future of Earth as life has evolved following a nuclear holocaust. The meme includes text “but Susan Collins was concerned”.

Special message to Jeff Bezos:

#DontLetTheGatesOfLibertyHitYouInTheAssOnYourWayOut
Unretouched photograph of the Statue of Liberty taken from New York Waterways commuter ferry from Lower Manhattan Pier 11 to Point Liberty in Jersey City, New Jersey, as the sun descends in the Western sky to where it is just barely touching the tip of Lady Liberty’s torch. This image is used as the emblem of http://:americanaworks.com with the hashtag “I lift my lamp to you“. #ILiftMyLampToYou. Another tag associated with this image is an anti-fascism epitaph: “Don’t let the gates of liberty hit you in the ass on your way out” #DontLetTheGatesOfLibertyHitYouInTheAssOnYourWayOut.

Our stamp of approval:
ChatGPT image of Thomas Nast, Morristown, New Jersey based political cartoonist who brought down corrupt governments with stinging effectiveness. The phrase “nasty political cartoonist“ is centrally featured. It is a play on words based on his surname. The image is used as an emblem of http://nastyworks.com to recognize powerful political imagery. Historical note: Thomas NAST created the elephant and donkey images for the Republican and Democratic parties. Also, his illustration of “The Night Before Christmas“ creates the modern day image associated with Saint Nick professionally known as Santa Claus.

Compare and contrast this #Nast-y OpEd political cartoon ( #ThomasNast-y, that is) by @zezvaz.bsky.social to reality on the ground.
