Political Humor

Featured Replies

From Arwa Mahdawi's weekly summary in The Guardian:

Is it illegal to call Trump a dick-tator while wearing a penis costume?

I guess we’re going to find out if this is pun-ishable or not. Sixty-two-year-old Renea Gamble was recently arrested after sporting the dick-tator sign and phallic costume at a No Kings Rally in Alabama. She’s now been charged with disturbing the peace.

I was playing Dire Straits songs on the piano last night, wife walked by and said, "Is that political commentary?" (Hormuz as dire strait, har har) This got me thinking how many of their song titles could apply to current events....

Money for Nothing - what Turnp always is looking for in geopolitics.

Walk of Life - as fuel prices soar, more of us will be doing the walk.

Sultans of Swing - Turnp is continually swinging from one position to another.

So Far Away - Turnip is now so far away from the principles of his party. And cognitively, so far away from reality.

Industrial Disease - the military industrial complex grows more diseased, and its products are proving fatal for non combatants.

Twisting by the Pool - foreign policy continually twisting by the Persian Gulf pool.

I think nearly all of them could be used but maybe Heavy Fuel is most direct.(also brilliant in its own right,as are they all mostly)

I just hope that soon he's Calling [on] Elvis.

And certainly no 'Brothers in Arms'.

Yes. I remember the video - the last years Randy Quaid was still partially sane. That song, and Industrial Disease, were underrated in my neck of the woods, never got enough airplay.

Yep, a concept beyond Sgt. Bone Spurs.

Industrial disease was one of my favs as well, I always liked to play it on the way to work at midnight!

Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong...
