It's nice to have a good trigger discipline even as you are preparing to murder your mates, but maybe actually hold your rifle properly so it doesn't drop and accidentally discharge? Someone might get hurt :ohdear:

Hard to read this as anything other than China being the opposite of world peace.

Also why would the USA fear world peace, they can just invade some country without nukes and break it.

I think I can see why he thinks it's a clever point to make , but spoiler: it absolutely doesn't make it any less stupid

Step 1: Some people point out that black people, as a whole, are victims of racism
Step 2: Chip Bok at al look at this and decide that this is actually racism itself, as it is having people consider people's skin colour at all, when you could just ignore it entirely and not consider generations of compounding oppression, and all would be fine
Step 3: Actually, come to think of it, Bok et al decide, having thought about it we have decided you are asking us to consider their skin colour and nothing else. did you know Martin Luther King, who we can pretend now we always liked, said a thing about the content of character
Step 4: Some people point out that these specific black cops were being racist
Step 5: Aha, says Chip Bok, genius cartoonist, this contradicts your whole "only consider people's skin colour" argument that I'm pretty sure you made at some point, making you all fools and idiots.

THE BIDENS- ROTTEN TO THE CORE

BREAKING: The FBI is searching Joe Biden�s Rehoboth Beach, Delaware home Wednesday morning for more classified documents according to a statement by Biden�s private attorney Bob Bauer.

Joe Biden is a tree of corruption that bore rotten fruit. I�m talking about Hunter Biden, the smartest man Joe knows. While that may be true in his own demented mind, Hunter�s laptop is a cornucopia of sordid gifts that keep on giving. It�s aptly named �The laptop from hell.� Hunter could be the person that Obama will use to topple his puppet, Joe. Will we see Big Mike (Michelle Obama) run for president? That seems far-fetched to me, but we live in nutty times.

Anyway, it turns out Hunter routinely ignored many laws, had access to classified documents in his father�s garage that he most likely sold and disseminated, engaged in money laundering for the �Big Guy,� (his father) and now we hear he sexually harassed his secretary to whom he owed a paycheck. To get paid, he insisted she take a sexual video of herself in the shower for Hunter�s enjoyment. Hunter definitely takes after his sexual predator and pedophile dad.

Will the Deep State Swamp continue to protect the Bidens like they did the Clintons? That remains to be seen, but there are ominous signs the Democrat Party is ready to toss Joe under the bus. Democrat operatives probably broke the news about Biden�s classified document stash in the first place�most likely ordered by Obama. Now we see Biden�s classified document scandal growing to epic proportions and the FBI hasn�t even raided Joe�s beach front mansion. At least, not yet.

Joe Biden has gotten away with his lies and crimes all of his career. Like son, like father, Hunter gets away with everything, too. So why not sell pay for play secrets to the Communist Chinese and influence to Ukraine? Hunter must think of himself as untouchable. The Bidens probably won�t face punishment and I doubt Joe will step down any time soon. In fact, he will probably run (stumble) again for a second term. He�s that stupid, that stubborn, and that mean-spirited, but he also knows the election will be rigged in his favor again no matter what crimes are revealed.

Joe wants to inflict himself again upon average Americans because he hates America and those average Americans. He�s a mean-spirited, sadistic, narcissistic beast. Just like his son.

quote:

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY 2023- SOMETIMES YOUR SHADOW SEES YOU

�Well, it�s Groundhog Day. Again.�

The groundhog says we must continue to endure two more years of Biden and the tyranny of evil men who cast long shadows over our nation.

�Stolen election� Joe Biden a traitor to his country. He has allowed wide open borders, which has led to a flood of invaders, crime, and drugs into America. He said we could not send tanks to Ukraine because it would mean World War III. Then he sent tanks to Ukraine. Apparently he won�t be happy until there�s a nuclear war, which could mean an extinction level event.

Joe hates America and the middle class. He also hates the unvaccinated. Last winter Joe warned (almost wished) that the unvaccinated would face a long and deadly winter.

Biden loves sending billions of US tax dollars to a Ukrainian confidence trickster named Zelensky. He and his son enjoy breaking laws at will. Their deals with communist China will ensure America�s decline and defeat in any war. Meanwhile, the average American faces the hardship of inflation caused by Joe and his Democrat spendthrifts.

Time for the classified document-stealing Joe to jump back into his basement hole and never cast his long, lying shadow on our country again.

quote:

LOOK UP IN THE SKY! IT�S A BIRD! IT�S A PLANE! IT�S A CHINESE SPY BALLOON

There was a high-altitude spy balloon sent from communist China spotted hovering over our state of Montana. Now it is moving over the center of our nation heading towards North Carolina.

It was sent down over Canada and most likely engaged in spying on nuclear missile silos near Great Falls. Biden and his Pentagon traitors refused to shoot it down, claiming it might leave a debris trail and harm those below. This is a howler because Montana is very sparsely populated and it�s very likely the debris would fall harmlessly on prairie snow. Even if it did fall over a city it would be worth it to make a point�the US will not tolerate a spy balloon over its territory. Would the communist regime tolerate a US spy balloon over China? Of course not.

Apparently Trudeau is perfectly OK with such a balloon over Canada. He and Klaus Schwab have expressed admiration for the Chicoms and even think they serve as a template for global governance.

It�s foolish to expect any push back from Joe Biden. After all, he has left our borders wide open to invaders, crime, and drugs. Why should he object to Chinese invaders�especially since his son made lucrative business deals with Chinese communist companies and Joe got his cut. General Milley is also a traitor who undermined President Trump by making unauthorized phone calls to his communist counterpart in China. Our government is rife with compromised politicians, bureaucrats, and military men. Apparently they serve China, not the United States.

China Joe has once again proved he�s a traitor. We may as well have President Xi in the White House.
