That tweet is ridiculous. Do you think Biden / Dems are doing all of those things?
Absolutely, without a doubt. There was nothing ridiculous in that tweet.

I'm just going to move on from this one. I don't agree with you.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is expected to announce the indictment of longtime Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, on Friday, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

Cuellar’s home and campaign office in Laredo, Texas, were raided in January 2022 as part of a federal investigation into Azerbaijan and a group of U.S. businessmen who have ties to the country, law enforcement said at the time. His office had pledged to cooperate with the investigation. In April, Cuellar's lawyer, Joshua Berman, told some news outlets that federal authorities informed him he was not the target of the investigation.

How many soft racism by low expectations quotes can we hear from the Dem politicians? They can't get IDs, and now they don't even know what the word 'computer' is?

Ideology or Safety? This doesn't seem like a winning stance.

Sometimes the Babylon Bee is funny, but I think if you're conservative / MAGA you lose perspective on when it isn't. "Satan asks Democrats to tone down all the evil" is not funny unless you hate Democrats, unless you're MAGA. It isn't clever, it isn't insightful, it's just hateful toward Democrats. You might laugh at that, if you hate Democrats.

Examples of Babylon Bee headlines that are funny, or closer to being funny, are ones like:

"Public School Valedictorian Wows Fellow Students During Graduation Speech By Reciting Entire Alphabet"

"DOJ Authorizes Postal Workers To Use Deadly Force On Trump When Delivering His Mail"

"Iranian President Asks Manager Of Paradise Where All The Virgins Are And If It'd Be Possible To Turn The Heat Down A Tad"

The above are more clever or more insightful in their observations. "Even SATAN thinks the Dems are too evil!" is not actually funny or clever.

The funny thing with this one was, something like this seemed to happen when viles of blood were sent to the RNC yesterday and it was evacuated as Hasmat teams came in.

I get that you don't think the Devil one is funny when the humor is directed at your team that you fully invested in, but it's hilarious. Sorry you can't enjoy it and look at it introspectively.

You're certainly entitled to your own sense of humor; agree to disagree.
