I'd cite Poe's Law, but maybe we need a term to describe when not only can you not tell if it's parody or not, but the people it is potentially parodying will go on to pick it up and run with it anyway.

Whodathunk that Conservapedia was a vision of the dystopian future?

This Earthstrike thing is getting to be huge. I have high hopes for it, even though I know it's probably going to be limited.

Now it's going to kick off with protests on the 15th and one every few months until the big strike in September.

Beards are totally a Millenial thing too. Only Millenial wannabees of older generations get beards.

(Also, ffs don't beardshame people. Some of us just can't grow the damn things.)

Max's constant rants about beards makes me think he can't either and is just projecting.

This. I'm 26 and can only grow anything on my chin. No cheek or real mustache hair yet. Though I did grow billy-goat chin-scruff for awhile.
Get a good wood comb, comb it regularly to encourage shedding until it comes in better.

I just shave and this:

This beard-tangent is among the silliest derails I've seen around here, heh.

Is that William Henry Harrison on the bottom left? It feels like William Henry Harrison. Him or van Buren. I'm like 75% sure.

Taylor, Benjamin Harrison is second row by Teddy, and the two epic beards are Garfield on the left of that row and Hayes bottom right.

Welp. Stacy Abrams has conceded the election. Kemp is governor now. Such it is.

For non-georgians, Kemp ran on Trump's platform, as republicans tend to do these days, and he did some seriously shady shit as the secretary of state (which he was, overseeing his own election)

Edit: Technically, she didn't concede, but she did end her campaign. So the same effect.

Wait they can do that?  Wouldn't that be like a massive conflict of interest?  Like a judge presiding over their own trial?  I actually think the country actually is starting to go crazy if that wasn't shut down immediately.

Yeah, apparently nobody filed a lawsuit about it until the end though.

I admire the courage in submitting a picture.

Moustaches are not beards! They are the devil's whiskers. They're only acceptable as part of a bigger beard.

Apparently Trump has been asking aides if Mike Pence is loyal, which is funny because Pence all but literally kisses Trumps butt and Trump thinks he still isn't loyal enough!

He can't get rid of Pence (unless he somehow forces a resignation out of Pence), but he can definetly sideline him and make Pence's life miserable, which has happened to some past VPs.

Good. This works well with the early-lame-duck-trump potentiality. Too crazy to do anything, too angry to let anyone else do anything. And he'll still be there, reminding people what a Republican looks like.

This is not a good solution to the Trump presidency, but it would be a less bad one than him being able to do what he wants.
