Trump is the Michael Jordan of charity! He cheered up Puerto Rico shooting towels like baskets into the crowd. U cant impeach a Saint! #MAGApic.twitter.com/75Yr1bygf2
Hadn't really given much thought to Wolfenstein 2. Now I'm looking into ways to project streamed gameplay onto our garage door, right next to the Trump is Unamerican sign.

Although obviously that one is meant as a joke but most of those political compasses are hopelessly biased.
Usually in one of two ways... to depict libertarianism as the most rational (often as part of the thing where they act like people may have never heard of it or never considered that it's possible to agree with the GOP on economics and the Democrats on social issues), or to either depict the US political spectrum as very narrow and very right-wing - often with bizarre differences from election to election...
Compare Hillary Clinton's position from 2008 to 2016:
Somehow, even though her platform and the Democratic platform moved to the left on both economics and social issues, Hillary Clinton is significantly more right-wing on both axes?
Despite Clinton being clear on wanting to expand ObamaCare, raise taxes on the rich, expand Social Security, invest in green energy, spend on infrastructure, subsidize universal childcare, support unions, overturn Citizens United, and raise the minimum wage to a record high... she is depicted as being more right-wing on economic issues than Trump!
Yet Trump on most of those issues only ever proposed policies that were similar or more right-wing*, and often gave contradictory answers.
Now, what could be their motivation for moving Hillary so far to the right despite her moving left on policies since 2008?
I wonder... *makes a note of where they put Bernie Sanders*
So... yeah, that parody tweet is pretty accurate in how these types of dishonest idiots portray American politics.
*Some examples:
a childcare tax credit that benefited the wealthy vs. subsidized childcare
don't raise the minimum wage, maybe even get rid of it vs. raise it to a record high
don't cut Medicaid, Medicare or Social Security, but also repeal ObamaCare vs. expand all of those things
no clear position on unions, but extremely anti-union in his own businesses vs. supporter of unions and endorsed by unions
talk about politicians being bought, implicitly criticized Citizens United but release a list of Federalist Society approved judges that would be guaranteed to support CU vs. consistently oppose CU and her husband appointed judges who voted against it
I am still trying to work out how to make the fact that Rand Paul got beaten up in a conflict about where to dump garden waste even funnier than it already is. I never knew that the invisible hand was just a quick left uppercut that you didn't see coming.
Also, now we know what Conway meant when she predicted the Bowling Green Massacre.
“That whore of Babylon had it coming to her,” said Abdullah Hasan, a member of the angry mob responsible for her untimely demise.
“She goes strutting around the city without a male escort, without a hijab, fluttering her plastic eyelashes at married men while expressing opinions of her own. What did she expect would happen?”
The execution was immediately preceded by an attempt to gang rape the humanoid, though many Saudi men found it difficult to forcefully penetrate her mechanical orifices.
“That unnatural whore can’t even be raped right,” said one visibly frustrated man.
