We've got another War on Christmas-type scenario, people! Although this time it's a war on Thanksgiving, according to a statement made by Donald Trump at a rally in Sunrise, Florida. Trump claimed that liberals want to change the name of Thanksgiving to something a little more "politically correct," and assured supporters that the name would indeed stay the same.
Our only question here is, can we focus on something that, like, actually matters? Please?
We're so glad we found the subreddit /r/ForwardsFromGrandma and we think you'll like it too. We all know at least one older person on Facebook who's constantly posting one conspiracy theory or another. If nothing else, at least it supplies us with some hearty laughs, right?
Last week the governor of Georgia signed the "heartbeat bill" which would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is able to be detected by a doctor. The state of Alabama followed suit, proposing a total ban on abortions in nearly all cases. We won't get into the politics of that whole deal, but you probably understand why it's controversial to many.
On Friday, Alyssa Milano tweeted her call for a "sex strike," with the intention of withholding sex from men until women can get their bodily autonomy back, in her words. Liberals and conservatives alike are saying this movement is a little, um, misguided?
At the end of the day, at least we can all come together regardless of our political affiliations to make fun of celebrities who say totally ridiculous sh*t!
Nike has gotten into some hot water recently for their new ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick. The campaign features a closeup of Kaepernick's face with text overlay that reads, "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything" in light of Kaepernick's controversial kneeling during the national anthem.
Many have praised Nike for the bold move, while many others are completely boycotting Nike's products, or even cutting the logo off of already-purchased Nike apparel. But whatever the stance, most everyone is having a grand ol' time making the situation into memes.
What are your thoughts on the new Nike ad campaign? We'd love to know in the comments!
Anyone who lives in the United States knows that straw bans in cities like Seattle and San Francisco are causing some serious controversy. The move is viewed by some as misguided (the move will have a negligible effect on the environment) and by others as another silly liberal passion project designed to deny people their rights. As we all know, nationwide controversy tends to beget a whole lot of internet whining - and a whole lot of memes. Whether you're in favor of the straw ban or think it's a futile movement, these memes will probably elicit a mild chuckle from your straw-spoiled throat.
Everyone's favorite media conspiracy theorist Alex Jones recently stated that the Democrats are plotting to go to war with their fellow American citizens in a civil war on the Fourth of July. Twitter users have started mocking this claim with the tag #SecondCivilWarLetters, which emulates actual letters that people wrote during the original Civil War.
No matter what your political affiliation, it's probably safe to say that we can all laugh about how ridiculous this assertion is!
