Fox blames Biden for failing to stop Tropical Storm Hilary at the border: "they let it right in"

3 years ago by MonsiuerPatEBrown to c/politics

Fox thought we could detain the storm and put it in a cage beside the children. New Civil Rights Movement: Fox News is blaming Tropical Storm Hilary hitting California on President Joe Bi…

Biden doesn't care about wet people

IF I YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT TRUMP was in this situation NOW I would LITERALLY WRITE AN AI that HACKS the JEWISH SPACE LASERS SPONSORED by FAUX FAUCI and made THEM DESTROY the hurricane with 8K ULTRA PRESISON believe ME I'VE seen them they're the WORST lasers EVER SEEN but my HACK that was made by ME and the BEST team they're good guys! Very fine people! would have made them STRONG enough TO DESTROY THE HURRICANE. Meanwhile DeSanctimonious who is a BAD man and many of the BEST PEOPEL are saying it! is in BED with BIDEN and the DEEP STATE to STEER the hurricane to KILL my voters! It's true! They LITERALLY called the HURRICANE Hillary! It's the WORST hurricane believe me! I've seen it myself and ALL the GOOD people say it's the WORST! DON'T TRUST THEM! Vote TRUMP 2024 and stay safe!

It’s kind of an obvious joke about the border and immigration. The storm made landfall in Mexico and is now moving into the US. Conservatives think Biden just lets everyone in Mexico come over the border, so that’s the joke. Meanwhile liberals are laughing because they take it literally and think conservatives believe a storm can be detained. Come on folks. You need to be able to get a joke that was crafted for someone else or you are really stuck in your perspective.

Yeah the work of joke writing is taking those pieces and assembling them together in a way that makes it funny.

But you know what they say: lazy, entitled conservatives just don't want to do the work.

It's hard to tell since the last time the republican party was in charge the leader of the party seriously thought you could just nuke a hurricane so I would not be surprised if the viewers of fox actually do blame Biden and think you can detain a hurricane

At least that has a thin veneer of plausibility. Technically, Trudeau could personally setting fires purposely, in that any person could set a fire in multiple locations across the country. Expecting someone to be able to stop a hurricane from entering the country is a whole new level of trolling.

Yes, both are ridiculous. But setting a fire is a lot more plausible than stopping a hurricane.
