Yeah, it's pretty insane how willing people are to Rob Peter To Pay Paul when it comes to Trump. Like they can't see how it is a null sum loss according to their own values. Yeah, sure, the guy you voted for doesn't murder babies. But he holds nothing sacred except money, so how is that somehow better?
There's multiple thousands of corpses in Puerto Rico alone that almost certainly wouldn't have been there had the shitgibbon not became POTUS, children among them, that disagrees on the murders babies bit. Just as an idle start. GOP may be against abortion but they'll get behind baby murdering real damn quick, the nation sabotaging bastards.
I'm going to take a wild guess that very few women who were pregnant during the hurricane successfully gave birth, one way or the other.

Republican scientists have perfected their ideal wonder-drug. It prevents both abortion and birth. Women just stay pregnant permanently, and you never have to worry about childcare.

Proper irony is just sarcasm, which is the lowest form of wit. People act like "irony" is some magically great thing and that people "doing irony" wrong as somehow at fault. It's pretty silly. going off dictionary definitions:

Actually, "Puns are the lowest form of wit", was a quote by a guy whose only claim to authority about such issues was that he didn't like puns. "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit" is something that people say to disparage someone who just used sarcasm, even tho they're perfectly willing to use sarcasm in their own favor, and it's actually an inversion by Oscar Wilde, "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit… but the highest form of intelligence", of which the second part is normally omitted to remove it from its intended context.

Also sarcasm gets usually confused with irony. Irony means saying the opposite of what you mean, or an situation where the opposite of what's expected happens. Sarcasm is just a tone of voice in which it is delivered, and it can actually be used to say what you actually mean, instead of the opposite.

I'm pretty sure we can agree that The New Yorker cartoons are the lowest form of wit.

Y'know, it's actually started mildly bugging me, the whole "lowest form of wit" thing. Critter might be trying to damn it with faint praise, but it's still admitting it's wit. Lowest form's still a form.
