When Joe Biden made his power grab in 2020, he didn’t waste time pretending to be a unifier. As a matter of fact, one of the very first things his weaponized DOJ did, just two days after Inauguration Day, was launch a political hit job on Douglass Mackey, a young conservative mover and shaker who dared to mock Hillary Clinton with a satirical meme back in 2016.. Many believe that move was a test run, a little judicial experiment to see if the regime could jail someone for speech. Could they twist a funny meme into a federal crime? Could...

Douglass Mackey, who was prosecuted by the Biden administration over a meme, has seen his conviction tossed by the Second Circuit Court of appeals. Mackey broke the news on X, saying in all caps "Breaking: The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has thrown out my conviction for lack of evidence. The case has ben remanded to the district court with orders to immediately dismiss."

Defendant-Appellant Douglass Mackey (“Mackey”) appeals from a judgment of conviction entered on October 25, 2023 after a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Donnelly, J.). Mackey was convicted of conspiring to injure citizens in the exercise of their right to vote in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241 based on three memes he posted or reposted on Twitter shortly before the 2016 presidential election. These memes falsely suggested that supporters of then-candidate Hillary Clinton could vote by text message. On appeal, Mackey argues, inter alia, that the evidence was insufficient to...

VIDEOLet a THOUSAND memes bloom!!! Apparently that is exactly what happened in the wake of the VIRAL video of the TDS Karen aboard a New York subway who got so triggered by the sight of a MAGA hat that she ended up doing an enormous Belly Flop after angrily pursuing it. Of course, that perfect Karmatic ending inspired a THOUSAND (possibly MORE) hilarious memes. Here are just a few of those memes now bursting out all over Social Media. Kudos to the many creators for providing us with great entertainment!

I Don’t Really Care, Margaret memes derive from a moment in an interview between Vice President JD Vance and CBS’ Margaret Brennan. In their conversation, Brennan tries to make a point about the radicalization of “illegal immigrants” in the United States. In response, Vance shuts down the analysis of what he feels is an unimportant detail. Origin JD Vance’s I Don’t Really Care, Margaret moment came in his first interview as Vice President with the CBS show, Face the Nation. Vance and journalist Margaret Brennan were discussing whether illegal immigrants pose threats to Americans. Vance explains he feels that refugees...

Donald Trump stormed to a resounding election victory after riding a huge wave of support that saw him win both the popular vote and electoral college. Pollsters continually forecast the race as being 'on a knife edge' but Trump, 78, won in a landslide with a surge of support from black and Latino Americans, as well as women voters - who liberal pundits had hoped would push Kamala Harris to victory. The president-elect is also set to win all seven of the crucial swing states that were central to his battle over Harris. Republicans also reclaimed control of the Senate....

VIDEOPut this at the top of the category of Memes Gone Wrong. Megaphonix took a clip of the left-wing nephew of the Young Turks Chunk Yogurt, Hasan Piker, reacting to Donald Trump at the debate and remixed it as a supposed anti-Trump meme. Unfortunately for Megaphonix that meme was fully embraced by MAGA to the extent that it was taken down. However, since so many MAGA folks copied that meme before the takedown it will live on forever as a MAGA meme much to the consternation of poor TDS Megaphonix.

@EndWokeness Greatest country in the history of the world and it’s not even close. She ain’t perfect, but she’s the best we’ve got. @elonmusk Yeah

“I can has cheezburger?” became one of the first internet memes... But research has now found that the vast majority of data stored in the cloud is “dark data”, meaning it is used once then never visited again. That means that all the memes and jokes and films that we love to share with friends and family – from “All your base are belong to us” ... are out there somewhere, sitting in a datacentre, using up energy. By 2030, the National Grid anticipates that datacentres will account for just under 6% of the UK’s total electricity consumption, so tackling...

(snip) At the other end of (NY) state, “Slick” Tom Tiberi has been an institution at 97 Rock (WGRF), where he’s worked on and off since 1982 as part of a Buffalo radio career ... But it wasn’t budget cutting that suddenly cost Tiberi his job in mid-July. Instead, it was an unfortunate Facebook post he made on his personal page, showing a meme of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in matching coffins. If the post looked harmless on the Thursday when Tiberi put it up, it looked like something else a few days later when a would-be assassin took...

Hitler gives Joe Biden another call because he's thinks Biden is too old to be re-elected president.

Contrary to rumor, we here at Twitchy are not, in fact, the personal press agents for actor James Woods, LOL. We just happen to love the man because he drops so many truth bombs on Twitter, they're impossible to resist. Just this week, the two-time Academy Award nominee has epically dunked on Don Lemon, Eric Swalwell, and Joe Biden's unconstitutional college loan 'forgiveness' program. He's murdered more leftist narratives than Jack Crow did vamps in John Carpenter's Vampires. Last night, Woods set his sights on the gun control debate. With one single meme, Woods demolished leftist narratives on the gun...

Have you ever heard of the old expression, “The left can’t meme?” Well, apparently TIME magazine is so broken with Trump Derangement Syndrome it can’t even figure out what a meme is. TIME railed against former President Donald Trump for posting on Truth Social what the leftist magazine described as a “new and bizarre campaign ad” of his “head tak[ing] the place of the moon and block[ing] out the sun in a nod to Monday’s solar eclipse.” Making it seem like the video was an actual campaign ad, the magazine continued: “It shows an image of the glowing sun as...

View and share the your best memes of the day right here. Nothing makes the point or cuts to the heart of the matter better and faster than a piquantly poignant meme.

Crooked Joe Biden is a Threat to Democracy!

There is a meme circulating from the left asserting that Donald J. Trump is autographing bibles. Maybe you've seen it. The text reads as follows: "When the man who embodies all 7 deadly sins-lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride-is signing bibles it means that it is time to reevaluate your religion" The image is tripartite, with Trump's autograph overlayed on the cover of a bible on the two left thirds, and Trump looking downward and an object much smaller than a bible. Maybe there is a FReeper who can locate and post an image, but for now I...

Years ago, a Freeper designed a GIF using the CBS eye logo. It cycled through the various government assistance items the eneMedia company participated in. If anyone has a copy, please link it below. It needs new life in the Twitterverse and FakeBook

Former President Donald Trump mocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' debate against California Gov. Gavin Newsom, dubbing it the 'Battle of Loserville,' as DeSantisworld sources say the governor's 2024 campaign is running out of steam. After midnight on Truth Social Friday, Trump shared a dubbed 'Battle of Loserville' video, with moderator Sean Hannity asking DeSantis, 'Have you ever betrayed the greatest president who ever lived, President Donald J. Trump.' Senior campaign aides are feeling gloomy about their chances in the upcoming primary, which kicks off with the Iowa caucuses on January 15. 'People increasingly think it's over,' a person close to...
