“Melania” Is as Vacuous as Its Subject

Reply in thread

Right, so the way these jokes works is this:

An article headline makes a claim about someone, but specifically doesn't mention who they are, because the context makes it obvious.

You respond with a "so (deliberate misinterpretation which also fits the description given)".

For example:

Headline: Movie about First Lady is as vacuous as its subject

Comment: So the Michelle Obama documentary is still on Netflix.

Pwnd libs: "..."

Zing! Eat that libs. Takedown complete.

Now, what you've failed to understand here is that the headline quite specifically mentions the name of the movie, "Melania", so it doesn't work as a flow. Because no-one in their right mind would think the Michelle Obama documentary is called "Melania". Imagine overhearing this conversation on the bus:

Person 1: I saw that "Melania" movie recently. It is as vacuous as its subject matter!

Person 2: So the Michelle Obama documentary is still on Netflix?

At best we're assuming that person 2 has misheard, and probably "has dementia" is higher up the list than "has just made a cutting remark".

Anyway, better luck next time.

Morale is plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports

This is the first stage.

ICE are funded up until the end of FY2029, so that they can act as Trump's personal army should the election not go his way. They cannot be defunded by anyone. That gives them over 3 years to weed out the weak, harden the strong, and practice urban combat.

So while I'm glad that these crybabies couldn't hack the path they chose, I can't be glad about what it's doing to the overall makeup of ICE.
