Anybody up for a random meme dump?

Sigh...



I don't think you did based on your previous post, but someone here informed you after. And it is not a military uniform, it's a private military academy uniform (a college prep school), big difference where I come from.



As I didn't make the meme, I couldn't say for sure, though it might have had something to do with the photo of Obama being around the same age, so more of an "apples to apples" comparison, if I had to guess. Maybe you can still twist that into something nefarious. I don't see much in it, so let's move on...



As a whole, seems like you folks across the pond really bought into the hype of Obama's nomination and election being the nearest thing to the second coming of Christ, plus he was "a cool black dude". Give me a break, that guy's whiter than me...and I'm a pasty bitch. I couldn't give two shits what color he is or what party backed him, my judgements are performance-based. He was no better than any other, some might say he was worse (and I'd be one of those). He did some serious damage while in office. And just so we're clear, I'm not a supporter of either party, in case you feel the need to cry bias. I don't play politics, it is the folly of useless humans and it gets fuck all done....I feel like the evidence is pretty obvious at this point. I would think if you were to look inward, you'll see the very same in your neck of the woods.

I don't recall anyone saying Trump is a good American or that he is ready to fight for his country. Maybe I missed that post, but honestly, I couldn't speak to either. He's a businessman and a politician, and I'd be grossly assuming to say more, so I won't.

I believe the main reason he got reelected is because the previous admin fucked up quite majorly on some rather serious fronts (things we'll all be suffering from for decades to come, long after that asshole's dead), Second, the other option was Kamala Harris, someone who can talk for 20 minutes and say absolutely nothing (because she has nothing to say), and literally wasn't qualified for the positions she held in the state of California previously. She was chosen because she's got ovaries and was multi-ethinic, the lib/dems are really big on ticking DEI boxes, regardless of qualifications (or lack thereof). For the record, I couldn't give a shit about either, she was worthless as a public servant, and if Biden had died in office, we would have been seriously fucked. Her leadership qualifications wouldn't get her a den mother position in the Scouts...and she could have ended up as president. That's a scary prospect, even now.

As for Michelle, couldn't give a shit. She wasn't elected and I paid no attention to anything she said or did...which is about how any partner of any president should be considered (as in "not").



Really? You speak as if you have factual information, as opposed to heresay. And you say it with a bit of "stank", which would indicating bias. Regardless, I'm not aware of the specifics, and I live here. Maybe you heard something and it fit your narrative of who and what he is, I don't know. What I can tell you is that many were exempted from the draft during Viet Nam, and for any number of reasons. Did wealth and/or connection to serving politicians have an affect for some? I'd bet on that horse, but that is nothing new. My old man was just out of school, working construction in '64, so young and relatively physically fit. But he was rejected by the draft board on the basis of him having completely flat feet. It happened.



I didn't admit anything, but a quick internet search would seem to indicate that photo is from his time at NYMA, as stated by others...so the oldest he would have been was 18, legally an adult in the US, and eligible. Again, private military academy, not the military, you are making connections that do not exist.



An assumption on your part. Strangely, I think you'll find a lot of folks in the military family would and did support him over the alternative. The lesser of the evils is unfortunate, but a very real thing.



Insulting and offensive. It's a fucking meme, and "NO", I don't imagine it is for a number of reasons. The first of which is that I don't think we'd have much of a fighting force if we were that thin-skinned. If you're easily offended, I don't think you last very long in any branch of the US military, and for good fucking reason. I'd wager not even a week of basic - especially if you chose the Marines. If you don't have "hair on your nuts" when you enlist, you'll likely be sporting a Jackson 5 afro on your sack when they're done with you...or you'll shrivel and vanish. May well be different where you live. Hopefully you won't think me racist for using the word "afro", sorry, but it just feels like your level to do so.

Are we done now? 🤨

In keeping with this thread, a random meme:

OK, I’ll bite…

I know why Trump was wearing military uniform in that photo. The question is, why was that photo chosen for that meme?

The answer appears to be to contrast Trump - good American, ready to fight for his country - with Obama - hippie dope-head - and Michelle Obama - apparently transgender.

But we all know that Trump was ‘unable’ to fulfil his military commitment. That makes the use of the photo (which you admit is actually of Trump as a minor, with no call-up liability) insulting to those who have, in fact, served their country - many of whom I believe hang around on this forum.

It’s not ‘orange man bad’ (although he’s clearly mentally dubious), but it’s ’that meme offensive to serving US personnel’.
