The truth about hemorrhoids comes out.
Is this Jhonen Vasquez or just something that reminds me of his style?
It's Jhonen's. From 'Johnny the Homicidal Maniac'. This bit pops into my head at least a few times a year, and has since about 2002 or so when I first read it.
It does look like his work. Didn't he turn out to be a predatory weirdo or a jerk or something?

I know it's fun to dunk on the asshole ruining our country, but I don't think we should be in the habit of sharing shopped images. That's what the extremists do, and then claim it's real. We have to be better than them. Plus, they'll use us distributing the memes as evidence of "Dems spreading fake news!"...
if there's nothing to claim as evidence they will just invent something like they always do.
Agreed. They will lie and spread disinformation, so we should not. It's what separates us from them...

Who cares?
I am so far past the point of giving a fuck about arguments that end with "and the Republicans will say..."
I'm right there with you. I don't say these things in consideration of them, but as a calculated political strategy.
I'm saying that even in what is intended to be a calculated political strategy, it amounts to jumping at shadows.
Republicans are not bound by truth or logic or even evidence in what they say.
Worry about how the people you are trying to reach will react to your statement rather than letting the Marjorie Taylor-Greenes of the world pre-censor you.
They do it themselves and already accuse everyone else of sharing fake stuff. Has the moral high ground really worked so far?
All I see is that lies and appeal to emotion is what has given them real power. So when it comes to ridiculing the trump administration, I say fuck it, the alternative hasn't worked so far. It's only gotten worse
It has nothing to do with morality. People largely distrust politicians and politics in general. "Never Trump" Republicans and middle-of-the-road Independents. People we actually do need to vote. They'll say "both sides are the same" when they're obviously not. When we prove them right by stooping to the extremists' level, they disengage, along with millions of other people. They won't trust us, and why should they?
And I ask again, has that call to voting and high-roading strategy worked so far? All I see is a fascist US that will now inevitably end in bloodshed. People already disengaged without the opposition "stooping down to extremist levels". I'd even argue that that sort of weak opposition is exactly why people disengaged in the first place
Not to mention, the US is beyond that stage now. Fascism has arrived there, and it has entrenched itself. It will not leave peacefully, just like it didn't historically. No matter what, it's time for new strategies
We don't get to peek at an alternate universe in which non-MAGA decided to play dirty too.
For all you know, many people who voted against Trump would've stayed home if alternatives were just as dishonest.

agreed. it's appropriate sometimes, especially when humor and mockery is being used to generate a sentiment/vibe. no one believes this meme image is meant to establish an orderly basis of factual reality based consensus about Trump. it's a joke.
besides, there is no amount of "high roading" with facts and logic that will reverse millions of hours of targeted brainwashing that caused a third of the population to vote against their own interests. we need to use multiple tactics, and appeals to humor/vibes/insults is one way we can make those backwards voters feel differently.
end of the day, subtle manipulation of images to create a vibe WORKS on people and shifts perceptions. the left should weaponize it to achieve goals, imo.
We have to be better than them by not being inhumane fucks sending 4 year old cancer kids to gulags, not by not fighting dirty.
Use every tool available to weaken Trumps image. Make the world think he’s an infirm senile fuck who can’t even go an hour without shitting himself.

This reminds me of a joke:
So this guy is drinking at the bar after work, and he has a few too many and ends up puking on himself. He says, "Shit, when my wife finds out I got this drunk, she's gonna kill me." The bartender says, "I know how you can get out of it. Take a twenty out of your wallet and put it in your shirt pocket. When you get home, tell your wife that some other guy puked on you, and gave you the twenty to cover the dry cleaning."
So the guy decides to try that. He gets home and, sure enough, his wife asks him what happened. He says, "I went to happy hour with some coworkers, and some guy that looked like he'd been there all day threw up on me. He gave me twenty dollars to cover the dry cleaning bill." She says, "Why do you have forty dollars, then?" He says, "He also shit in my pants."
dude... You made me laugh out loud next to my wife while we're watching a boring show... you owe me 20(?)

Thanks, Brandon.
Why does a man infamous for shitting himself on the reg for decades, think that light coloured trousers are something to even entertain in the wardrobe.
Also does someone have an antidote to this image? I think it maybe caused a minor trauma
This isn’t a real pic
Someone should turn this into an ad for adult diapers.
Okay, I looked in image search and this came up. My eyes and ears are bleeding and I blame you.

Needs very minor tweaks to look like him
Genuine answer, I have no idea.
We'll bang, okay?
I mean there're plenty of accounts of him shitting himself around people. Whether the pic is real or not, the man should not own light trousers and should have realised this when he was getting hosed down every time they finished an episode of The Apprentice.
