To a left-wing LGBTQA+, the world went back to the 2000s the moment Donald Trump was elected. The 2000s are not some time period that passed, but a timeless and atemporal force that endlessly threatens to reverse LGBTQA+ rights.FWIW, theisn't for you.
Gotta love how these people are stuck in 2003 and by bringing in stuff about hell and god they're owning the fundies who barely exist as a political force anymore. Gotta get back at that pastor who said they'd go to hell for playing with Yu-Gi-Oh cards or whatever.

Like much of what passes as comedy nowadays, all of this feels unfocused and forced as hell (reference notwithstanding). There's no wordplay, no double-meanings, no sense of irony, no in-jokes meant only for the targeted audience to understand, it doesn't even play up Trump's own idiosyncrasies. The article just rams itself straight into Godwin's law without a single reference to support it. I can go to the Babylon Bee right now, and pull up their article about Obama endorsing Biden:
Biden Has Touched Us All
Look at that title.

If your are going to do satire, you need to drive that stake through the damn heart.

Trump was a progressive pro-choice NYC billionaire for most of his life. He never really gave a shit about gay people and hasn't done anything to them really in his entire term as president. just lol

Y'know, if you wanna write satire, it's better to not come across like an attack fueled by impotent rage.

Decades of watching only angry, supercilious, Daily Show-tier "comedy" has destroyed the left's understanding of humor.

TFW because coronavirus, Trump has literally given more gibs in one year than Obama in eight, go figure.

An Idaho farm is giving away 2 million potatoes because coronavirus has hurt demand
Cranney Farms in Idaho is giving about about 2 million potatoes so they don't go to waste.
With coronavirus severely affecting the potato supply chain, a farm in Idaho is giving away about 2 million potatoes so they don't go to waste. First come, first served.
Ryan Cranney, CEO of Cranney Farms in Oakley, Idaho, about 150 miles from Boise, told CNN the majority of his potatoes from the farm are typically sold to grocery stores and to restaurants to make french fries.
Because of stay-at-home orders throughout the nation, Cranney said the food service demand is down significantly, leaving him with six months worth of crop.
"With people staying at home, these restaurants have shut down and so our markets have just kind of fallen apart," Cranney said. "The factories that we sell to for french fries, they've lost their sales and had to shut their factories down with freezers full of french fries and so the outlets for our potatoes, we're having a difficult time getting them to market."
A little over 50% of Cranney's sales come from its potato crop, according to Cranney.
Cranney Farms also grows sugar beats, wheat, barley, mustard seeds, corn and alfalfa and they raise cattle, but Cranney said their potato crop and cattle have been hit the hardest.
"We've made our best assumptions so we're cutting back what we're going to grow this year," Cranney said. "If things turn around quickly and take off, we're going to be short. But if it drags on longer for several more months, it could be a total disaster. People are going to lose their farms over this."
Initially, Cranney said he posted about the crop on Facebook, urging members of his community of about 700 people to show up at the farm and grab as many potatoes as they want. But now, people are driving hours to pick some up.
"The response has completely blown me away," Cranney said. "People are coming from all over the place."
Cranney said he's expecting a woman from Kansas on Thursday who will have driven 19 hours. Food banks and soup kitchens are also starting to show up.
Most of the people who have come for the potatoes are doing it for others, grabbing them for friends and neighbors.
"We gave a little bit and now they're giving in return, and that's what made it worth it to me," Cranney said. "It's been fun for me to see people thinking of others and give their time and resources to take care of other people."

Re-posting here because I'm an idiot that ignores rules
(2012) In Turkey, Men Are Showing Pictures Of Themselves Getting Fucked In The Ass To Get Out Of Conscription -
https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17474967
>Ahmet, a young man in his 20s, told officials he was gay at the first opportunity after he was called up, as he and other conscripts underwent a health check.
>"They asked me if I liked football, whether I wore woman's clothes or used woman's perfume," he says. ''I had a few days' beard and I am a masculine guy - they told me I didn't look like a normal gay man.''
>He was then asked to provide a picture of himself dressed as a woman. ''I refused this request,'' he says. ''But I made them another offer, which they accepted.''
>Instead he gave them a photograph of himself kissing another man.
>Ahmet hopes this will give him what he needs - a "pink certificate", which will declare him homosexual and therefore exempt from military service.
Now here's when it gets juicy:
----------
>Gokhan, conscripted in the late 1990s, very quickly realised that he was not made for the army.
>''They asked me if I had any photographs.'' Gokhan says, ''And I did.''
>He had gone prepared with explicit photographs of himself having sex with another man, having heard that it would be impossible to get out of military service without them.
>''The face must be visible,'' says Gokhan. ''And the photos must show you as the passive partner.''
>The photographs satisfied the military doctors (
)
>Gokhan was handed his pink certificate and exempted from military service. But it was a terrible experience, he says, ''And it's still terrible. Because somebody holds those photographs. They can show them at my village, to my parents, my relatives.''
Interesting how Turkey has a similar conception of homosexuality that the Greeks had, i.e. only the one who gets penetrated is truly homosexual. What's even more interesting (to put it lightly) are the bizarre rules put in place to prove whether someone is homosexual or not, and the fact that the Turkish military has a bunch of gay amateur pornography sitting in a cabinet somewhere in Istanbul
