No, it just wasn't funny. That's the problem and why I posted what I posted.
For instance, here's a meme that's objectively funny:
Is that a right or left meme? You get two guesses...

Biden’s condition shocks allies at G7 summit, with one saying it’s ‘worst he has ever been’: report
President Biden has been “losing focus” during discussions at this week’s G7 summit in Italy, with one diplomatic insider saying the commander in chief is “the worst he has ever been.”
Another attendee from a non-US delegation told The Sun Friday that the 81-year-old’s public missteps on the first day of the gathering were “embarrassing.”
Biden has joined the leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies — including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak — for the annual meeting to discuss their nations’ economic and security priorities.
However, the president has stolen the spotlight with a series of bizarre actions, including giving Meloni an awkward salute upon greeting her Thursday and wandering away from his fellow leaders during a skydiving demonstration, forcing the host prime minister to chaperone him back to the group.
***
Biden’s mental fitness is increasingly worrying to Democratic lawmakers and aides, a bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal exposed last week, with the president frequently caught reading off cheat sheets and resting his eyes in meetings.
“You couldn’t be there and not feel uncomfortable,” one source who was in discussions earlier this year over a $95 billion national security package with military aid for Ukraine, told the outlet.***

Despite 400% Cost Increase And Poor Reliability, F-35 Approved For Increased Production Rate
www.zerohedge.com
.......But the $2 trillion topline cost doesn’t tell the whole picture, as getting to that number requires reducing the number of hours each F-35 flies per year by 21 percent on average. While reducing stick time for pilots will certainly reduce costs for the maintenance-intensive F-35, it is an awful way to do so as it will inevitably result in less-experienced, less-capable pilots who could end up paying the ultimate price due to inadequate training.
Further, for such an accounting trick to have any chance of succeeding in keeping costs down, we must count on our enemies not to engage in actions that force us to use our F-35s more than their meager estimated 8 to 10 hours of allotted flight hours per month.
.........Further, all the evidence suggests that the F-35 sortie generation rate will be vastly inferior to combat-proven planes like the F-16 and the A-10 that over the years have been modernized/upgraded to feature state-of-the-art technology. And let’s not forget the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has been in development since 1994, and that U.S. taxpayers have already spent more than $300 billion on it.
This begs the question of how the F-35 was certified for full-rate production even while its very expensive combat capabilities are not yet ready for real-life testing (simulations don’t count) and the F-35’s full mission capability rate could be as low as 30 percent. We don’t know the answer because the DOT&E testing report is not available to the taxpaying public.
What we do know is that the F-35’s overall reliability is poor, its engine is inadequate, it can’t do close air support, its within-visual-range dogfighting is mediocre at best, its range while carrying a full weapons loadout in “Beast Mode” is poor, and because of its ongoing weight issues, key safety equipment was removed from it, making it arguably the most fragile plane in the U.S. fighter inventory. Given these facts, its recent certification warrants a large dose of skepticism.
Finally, does anyone really believe the $2 trillion program cost is the final word or that new engine cores will be ready to go in 2029?

It's probably true of crime categories committed by non-illegals.....just reverse the red arrows to show the increase in the same crime categories committed by illegals.

How convenient of FBI to not show the last two digits of the year.
If those crime stats ARE down it's because the leftist judicial systems in blue cities aren't prosecuting perps when caught, hence no reported convictions. I can make any statistic or chart lean the way I want by adding or removing certain data and choosing only what I consider relevant.
I trust the FBI data about as far as Joe can walk without crapping in his pants.....and that ain't far.
