Thursday sounds about right. Keeping this in the humor track....so, about this:

Trump’s suit states that Littlejohn’s disclosures to the news organizations “caused reputational and financial harm to Plaintiffs and adversely impacted President Trump’s support among voters in the 2020 presidential election.”

Um, I thought Turnp WON 2020. That's what he has insisted for five years. If he actually won, then where's the adverse impact? 😉

Well, obviously he didn't got crowned to God-Emperor. That is quite a loss.

Worse than that: Nobel God-Emperor.

Members of the Danish resistance would raid theatres and force the projectionists to show this film, among others.

As a humorous mashup that satirizes its original footage, the film shares similarities to 21st-century remix culture.

Schichlegruber Doing the Lambeth Walk is a 1942 short propaganda film by Charles A. Ridley of the UK Ministry of Information. It consists of edited existing footage taken from Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will to make it appear as if they were dancing to the dance style "The Lambeth Walk".

The film was distributed uncredited to newsreel companies.

But how is this humor political?

If the mods think this is not a political issue, they can move it.

MAGA has morphed into MAHA under RFKennedyJr and now the “vaccines are the enemy” mindset which became common during Covid more so on the right is even more amplified.

Being an idiot is not political. There are plenty of anti-vaxxers on both sides. And were there before Covid, too.

The 'joke' that tickled me really was the double entendre. Usually, when someone asks for 'a second opinion to a doctor, they mean they want another doctor's opinion.

Seems like now it has become more political, in that the Far Right MAGA faithful have embraced science denial, conspiracy theories and anti-vaxx. I think recent surveys show far more people on the Right are rejecting vaccinations.

You know as well as I do that correlation does not imply causation.

E.g. Far more religious people than atheists reject vaccinations. Far more religious people than atheists are on the Right.

Or. Uneducated vs. educated.

Etc.

All valid statements, but there is an element of causation when a specific party begins to generate propaganda against science and vaccination. I agree that education levels play a role, but I am witnessing one party which is pitching these anti science messages to those most easily fooled. And these partisan messages have caused a great increase in opposition to vaxxing, renewable energy, EVs, climate change preparation, etc.

Perhaps you're right. I just think that the humor of this joke is apolitical:

Yes, and it's a classic joke, which I first heard as a teenager, and not in a vaccine context. It went something like:

Doctor: Your baby has jaundice.

Mother: I want a second opinion.

Doctor: Okay. Your baby is ugly!

I didn't hear it as a teenager because there was no second opinion then 🙂.
