My wife and I went into town and visited a shop.
When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket..
We went up to him and I said, "come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?"
He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him an "asshole."
He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.
So Shirley (my wife) called him a "****head."
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.
Then he started writing more tickets.
This went on for about 20 minutes.
The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
He finally finished, sneered at us and walked away.
Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home. We always look for cars with Biden 2024 stickers.
We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It’s so important at our age!!

They can afford it. They didn’t waste their money on MAGA Bibles, Trump sneakers, and Go Fund Me’s for Cheetos legal fees. Broke ass trumpers taking four buses home from the hate rally

Broke ass trumpers taking four buses home from the hate rally I see you want to be serious so I'll be serious for a minute. Yesterday there was a huge explosion at a French cheese factory. Da brie was everywhere.

Vosa, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this would have been better received if you would have used Trump instead of Biden.
I will also add that if a dem poster would have posted this and used Trump instead of Biden, you would have been the first one to not receive it as a joke and you would point out missing facts and/or grammatical errors.
All in all, it's a funny joke. Just not well received because of who posted it. It's impossible to laugh it up with someone who is overall, very critical.
Just my two cents.

Political humor and satire used to be funny and a way to feel a common thread of cohesiveness among the entire audience irrespective of political slants. Lately however, our supercharged and polarized partisan environment has unfortunately poisoned that well of humor. I suppose I pine for the days when we could all smile or laugh at our government without it turning into a partisan snipe-fest.

Actually make it 8 cents. 😁 Maybe it is just me (doubtful) but coming from vosa. I really thought he was actually relating his day out. Still do.

I used to watch that show on A&E where enforcement would issue parking tickets. They also covered the parking impound and also booting cars. I'd hate to have to live in Philadelphia. I went there several times to see plays a relative was in and I made sure I paid attention to any parking rates and rules.
Over the last Christmas holiday, I had to visit someone in Stroudsberg PA. They don't screw around there. I made sure I download the app, researched the parking areas, and paid for parking.

Oh, I thought it was funny the first time I heard it. I don't remember which politician was on the sticker than; it was a lot of years ago. Humor usually does not age well with me. (A local comic once said that musicians can perform hits over and over, but comics can generally only get a few months to a year out of jokes before people stop paying to see him.)
