I'm starting this thread as a place to post and gather various absurd/pathetic/stupid/etc. items of a political and/or sociological nature - things that make you want to (1) laugh, (2) cry, (3) roll your eyes, and/or (4) wish for the rousing of Cthulhu from his slumber so that he can come forth and devour the screaming souls of all mankind because swift destruction by the Sweet Meteor o' Death is just too good for them - but that don't really deserve separate threads of their own.
Please feel free to comment upon and contribute your own "Postcards from the Clown Show".
But just to keep things tidy and to maintain a distinctive character for this thread, memes and meme-type items of an ironic or satirical nature should go in the
picture thread (or some other thread that is directly relevant to the topic of the item) instead of this one. Otherwise, this thread and the picture thread will run the risk of becoming indistinguishable clones of one another.
Items in this thread should be (or directly include) unironic, non-satirical items from the
real world "clown show". As a general rule of thumb, think of this thread as being for items
from the "clown show", while the picture thread is for items
about the "clown show". I know the border between those distinctions can get pretty fuzzy sometimes, so when in doubt, use the picture thread, which is more of a general catch-all.
Posting things such as funny pics, satirical memes, etc. in reply to some particular "postcard" (or as part of any discussion or banter that arises about some particular "postcard") is fine, though. (It's just the "postcards" themselves that should be "on topic" as described.)
