.....towards President Obama and against the Madman.

I mean, think about it.
We just had the solar eclipse where the moon eclipses the sun.
The sun is life sustaining. Without its presence for roughly half of a day, we'd be lifeless, cold and barren, unable to grow crops.
The moon comes in and eclipses the sun, leaving us all in darkness. If the moon were to remain in its position blocking the sun, we'd soon die.
Thankfully, an eclipse is but a fleeting, temporary anomaly. Within minutes, the moon moves on and the sun returns, shining bright as usual.
I don't know about you, but I love the analogy.
Of course, the guy who posted it looks like someone who thinks the characters Danny McBride plays are actual, real people worth imitating, so I doubt that was the desired effect. Still.....

(4,459 posts)... I doubt Jerry Travone meant it that way. I don't know his Twitter history, but its just the kind of half-assed thought a Trumper would put into a tweet. I could be wrong.

(51,129 posts)It is not like the cons had enough imagination to think this up. They just copied the one of Obama eclipsing Trump. And the response with Mueller is the best one yet.
There's another done by cons calling the liberals the flat-earthers. Talk about cognitive dissonance! So I won't include the tweet, just the image. We all know who the flat-earthers are and it isn't the intellectuals. There seems to be a large, organized propaganda effort at work turning the world upside down, projecting onto the left everything negative about the right. And it seems to be happening so people can rationalize alignment with Chump.
