1. As he should be; orange traitors and White Jesus will kill us before Holy Oil Profits!

27. YVW.

I got the idea from Liz Cheney's anecdote that on 1/6/21 she was near a table where Republicans were signing challenges to the votes and one said "Ther things we do for Orange Jesus!"

4. That's it in a nutshell.

The things these bozos should care about, they dont, and things that should make no difference whatsoever, they go batshit crazy about.

That's the nature of these Trumpanzees.

5. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

6. MERMAIDS ?????

12. "Her hair was green as seaweed. Her skin was blue and pale."

From a bawdy sailor-song

[NullTuples]

22. Sadly, I'm somewhat sure that likely referred to white aristocrats

"The term “blue blood” has been used since 1811 to describe royal families and the nobility. Having pale skin was once a sign of higher social standing, showing the royalty and nobility did not need to spend their time outside with the likes of the working class, such as farmers."

But even this discussion is irrelevant - they are fictional characters, half fish & half human. Any human. Do the bigots think mermaids were only Northern European in the lore? Not to mention Ariel was a half-fish whose tail morphed magically into legs. IT IS FICTION!

9. Don LaFontaine voiceover: "In a world, where white men are threatened by black mermaids..."

[GoCubsGo]

23. Animated black mermaids, at that.

You know... the cartoon version of mythical individuals.

We are so fucked.

26. Truly, GoCubsGo, we live in the stupidest of all timelines.

GAINESVILLE, FL—Sources confirmed Tuesday that local man James McDermott, despite living on a doomed planet, was mostly concerned about the skin color of people in movies. According to sources, the 36-year-old software engineer, who is an occupant of a world with a devastated ecosystem, dwindling natural resources, and a climate growing more uninhabitable each and every day, spent the majority of his leisure time debating whether certain skin tones were realistic for fictional characters who inhabited fictional worlds on-screen in films and television shows, most of which he did not watch. The shocking reports found that the man expended nearly all of his energy online debating what the correct shade of brown for actors should be, rather than feeling any sort of regard for the looming apocalypse he was taking no action to survive or forestall. At press time, McDermott had reportedly been whisked away in a hurricane.

28. Someone noted that bigots should not be surprised by African mermaids, considering

all the enslaved persons they threw overboard. [link:https://www.blackpast.org/global-african-history/zong-massacre-1781/|
