    It’s been only a day and it’s the first mug shot of an ex president in history. Pretty damn memeable picture too. Give it a little more time and people will get bored with it and start meming about something else I’m sure.

    I also think it’s annoying, but making a post about it with the cringy ma’lady sigh is just infinitely worse.

      it being passé and it being tiring are both parts of what make it a meme and a shitpost.

      just normally you’re on the other side of the annoyance

    Everyone of these meme happenings comes in waves. We’ve had no poop, we’ve had old meme July, endless Reddit commentary, etc. Just go with the flow and it will be over before you know it. You’ll have a new trend to be pissed about in a few weeks.

    The former President glaring at the camera like a dementia patient while he gets arrested is just so memeable though

    I love them all.

    Except for the “blue steel” ones. It’s not even kind of a “blue steel” pose. Like not even a little bit. It’s inaccurate and uncreative and, even worse, just unfunny.

      To me, the funny thing about blue steel is that knowing him, he obviously trained this look for a long time in the Mar-a-Lago mirror. And that’s kind of funny, in a sad way.

    Request denied. Haters go fuck yourselves. Half of you are just Trump supporters that’s are belly aching because you can’t stand to see your hero get exactly what was coming to him 😂

    The other half, I get it but as others have mentioned. This is a historical moment. Let it be.

        The internet is a shared space. I didn’t want to hear about your PM talk about letting New Zealand join Australia but it was in my feed anyway.

        Deal with it?

          Difference is, American politics absolutely infest every part of social media in general, us non-americans are sick of seeing your bullshit constantly. Can’t even block it as a shit ton of non-political communities are getting spammed with American bullshit as well.

          “deal with it” lol typical murican response, as if the world revolves around your shitty corrupt country full of brainwashed idiots 🙄

          And no I’m not a trump supporter or a conservative I’m just fucking sick of American politics clogging up the internet. Fucking do something about it rather than crying on the internet ffs.

          Bring on the downvotes.

            Again. This is what the majority of people on the internet want to discuss. I don’t see the purpose of complaining about it.

            I don’t like NSFW content so I filter it from my feeds. Do the same and fucking deal with it.

      Conservatives: 14 memes about obviously fake news like schools putting litter boxes in hallways for kids who identify as cats or Obama making it illegal to be straight or Christian

      Me: Trump’s mugshot or yet another right wing mass shooting

      Conservatives: “Can we not talk about politics for just one second?”

      Innuendo studios does a great video about how they weaponize “now is not the time” to talk about anything that makes them look or feel bad. He uses Trump as the example. When he was running in the primary “now is not the time” to talk about his obvious, glaring faults because no one is taking him seriously. Then when he won the nomination and began in the general “now is not the time” because he’s obviously gonna lose to HRC anyway and you have to be gracious in victory and not gloat, then when he won “now is not the time” because why would you root for the country to fail and all that dumb boomer shit about “the left wing and the right wing are part of the same bird” and now you have to be gracious in defeat, then when he lost “now is not the time” because its over, he lost, he’s just a private citizen now, and now that he’s campaigning for the nomination “now’s not the time” because prosecuting him for crimes he absolutely, definitely committed is election interference. If he wins, now will not be the time because he’ll pardon himself and if he loses now will not be the time because we’re just picking on an irrelevant old man just to be vengeful. I think you see the common thread here.
