I realize that. But some humor is not humor if it so misstates the facts. Then the "humor" is simply spreading more disinformation.
Sir, this is an Arby's.

Unfortunately, it's not a real Lego set. It's a meme that's been floating around since about Jan 8th, but I didn't see it until recently.

The humor in this Lego meme apparently transcends political boundaries. We may have finally found the Great Unifier for our divided nation.

How many people will see that Lego meme and then think that the people who wandered into the Capitol really were carrying guns? Greater than 50% wouldn't surprise me.

I thought maybe the FBI/DOJ was selling it on Amazon so they could put whoever bought it on the no-fly list.

My current favorite from the Babylon Bee:

And I posted this before but it's still hilarious. Jon Stewart is refreshingly untied to any particular political ideology, and here's the result:

Not political but this topic seemed the best place to put it. With the aged age group here I assume that most will get both the classic rock references and see how it tied into a classic baseball routine by Abbott and Costello 100 (?) years ago?
