Make Aliens Great Again Funnies


It seems popular lately to conflate people of my political persuasion -- 'leftist', infer the definition of your choosing with that label -- with wherever the right of the farthest right (no, keep going) is these days *cough* horseshoe theory *cough*.
I have the predictable objections, and certainly we all know how divided we are ... but I will cop to common ground on UFOs. Full disclosure, for any who've wondered WTF my problem really was: I've been a big fan of Ancient Aliens on the History channel for many years. Speaking as an atheist, the Bible history alone is worth the time and money. The Book of Enoch eclipsed Ecclesiastes as my favorite as a result of watching the program. This journey of enlightenment began two decades ago, when political blogging was still sexy and Alex Jones was "a beloved* local figure among the vaguely progressive crunchy austin counterculture, like dennis kucinich bumper sticker bouldin creek cafe chronicle readers." *Disclaimer: AJ was not, is not, and has never been 'beloved' by anyone but the worst people in the world. The late Art Bell's late night radio show had better weirdos, and I don't say that because I was one. Here's your time travelin' fractious recollectin' rabbit hole.
The show is now on hiatus, which didn't even happen during COVID (a few of the hosts are currently on tour). It's been a rough year for them; David Wilcock -- who took his own life in a disturbing and now-predictably controversial incident -- and Nick Pope, who suffered from esophogeal cancer, both died in April.

That was perhaps a tl;dr stage-setting for the latest T-Boy distraction dud. I mean, if you can't fake an assassination any better than this, better trot out the aliens. And sure enough, it's working.

If little green men visited our planet, Donald Trump would give more power to ICE to be a murderous goon squad, use it to cancel the midterms, claim it’s a sign for an even larger ballroom attached to the White House, and demand that the visitors give him a flying aircraft like Qatar did.

So when they say 'close' only counts in horseshoes, you can be healthily skeptical of that trope. Along with all the others.

Just say no.


Just say no to getting on a cruise ship (if you don't already, you fools).


And say no more to the billionaires who don't give a shit about anybody but themselves.
