“Are you nervous about seeing Vlad again?” the hair asked.
“No,” Donald replied waspishly. “Hashtag Fakenews. Sad.”
“Don’t Twitter at me, Donald,” the hair told him. “You haven’t seen him since the primary and I was worried that you might be a little nervous.” He had been left on the nightstand and the numerals of the clock radio lit him from behind with a soft red glow.
“I don’t wanna talk about it,” Donald insisted. He rolled away from the nightstand and pulled the hotel duvet over his bald head.
“Donald,” the hair persisted.
“Go away,” he mumbled.
“Donald, you really need to work out your feelings about Vlad before you see him later. You too had a very long relationship that you had to hide the entire time.”
“Will Angela be there?” the lump of bedclothes asked.
“ANG-e-la, Donald. It’s pronounced ‘ANG-e-la.’ Imagine you are swallowing a live guinea pig when you say it.”
“I don’t think Arugula likes me very much,” Donald whispered. The hair sighed wearily.
“She is in awe of your Presidential powers,” the hat murmured sleepily.
“Yes, I’m sure that’s what it is,” the hair said dryly.
“Wear me when you see Vlad, Donald,” the hat said. “I’m not scared of him.”
“I’m not scared of him either!” Donald groused. The Service Service agent curled up on the end of the bed whimpered.
“Not scared, Donald,” the hair said. “Nervous. The two of you used to be… together. It can be tough seeing someone like that.”
“Oh, God,” the hat groaned. “He’s not some teenage faggot mooning over a quarterback. Stop handling him with kid gloves.”
“Donald,” the hat said from the bedpost, “You go in there and you act like a man. An adult goddamn man. You say, “Vlad, give me what I want or I’m going to fuck you and fuck you hard. I’m going to ride you around this room until with have an agreement on Syria. I’m not going to let up on you one little bit, not even if you beg me.”
“What’s the safe word?” the hair asked.
“Safe word? Don’t be an asshole, hairball. I’m talking about hardball negotiation tactics. I’m talking about taking what you want, not asking for it.” The hat was getting louder and louder. There was a soft knock on the door.
“Mr. President?” a distant voice asked.
“The Art of the Deal!” Donald yelled at the door. After a moment, soft footsteps headed away.
“That’s it, Donald,” the hat said. “Give it to them hard!”
“Isn’t there a 4chan board you should be scanning for gifs?” the hair asked.
“I’m gonna fuck you up like CNN, motherfucker!”
“I’m trying to sleep here!” Donald said. When he rolled over and kicked the sheets off, the Secret Service agent hit the floor with a startled yelp.
“What’s the safe word?”
“First.”
Or does that only apply to morning and arvo links? :/
“Isn’t there a 4chan board you should be scanning for gifs?”
I feel like this is the first president our country has ever had who listens to what his people say. I feel like I can get my presidents ear if I make a good enough meme that supports him. Maybe being a master memer is the new route to political power here in the USA.
I AM POPPY would make a great CNN meme.
Have Poppy on screen with slightly modified version of James Earl Jones saying “This is CNN”.
You guys think Trump reads Glibs? If you do, Mr. Trump, please shoot me an e-mail. I have some really good ideas I would like for you to push forward as policy.
I doubt it – he’d have tweeted about Hat & Hair or my comics by this point. SAD!
I think I would laugh myself to death if Trump started tweeting the hat and the hair and secret nazi president. That would be too funny. I don’t think I could take it.
Anyone feel like introducing Sugarfree’s stuff to a couple of 4Chan shitposters?
I would be very careful crossing our streams with 4chan. If the internet is a mirror of society we are Walter White and Jessie Pinkman. 4Chan is the fucking cartel.
Nobody said it would be without certain inherent risks, and we ought to use multiple layers of cutouts.
But think of the fame and notoriety!
Damn that’s a good analogy. Best not to involve ourselves in the ongoing Meme War
I think a better analogy is that 4Chan are like Reavers, frankly.
Yeah, just like the suggestion of crossposting on r/TheDonald for lulz. They’d hunt down our little corner of the web and it would be napalm on wildflowers.
“Best not to involve ourselves in the ongoing Meme War”
Just Say’n – you might like the next SNP.
You assume there isn’t a Venn diagram of Glibs and 4Chan shitposters, normie.
Oh I would be shocked if some of us did not at least dabble in the dark arts, but since we haven’t been flooded with metric fuck tons of shit yet my only assumption is that we simply aren’t on anyone’s radar, for better or worse.
There might not be any Venn unions of Glibs to 4Chans, but there are going to be plenty of Glib to Skeptic/Anti-SJW/Anti-Fem/Antiantifa to 4Chan chains.
Don’t completely write off the possibility of some ‘leaks’
you might like the next SNP
Odds of people not liking it are generally low. You do some quality
shitpostingwork!Damn. There is a certain level of irony here. You guys keep referring to Internet crap I included in a comic that I haven’t published yet.
Also, thx.
That just means you are fully immersed in the zeitgeist of the age, like a proper artist should.
I long for the next installment of SNP…
SNP I think he would like. Hat & Hair…. not so much.
Sugarfree says bad things about my hat and hair. Not very nice. Still, documents Lying Hillary well. More of this!
Sugarfree. Sad. #fakefakenews
If you think about it, a good meme is simply a very pithy visceral argument or statement. It is the modern equivalent of a sound byte. Any truly good politician should be a good memer.
Memes are the political cartoons of the digital age.
A good meme.
Safeword is “Ragnorak”.
I like ‘Marla’.
I thought I saw John posting on Glibs the other day… did we scare him off?
No H&R veteran can be “scared off” if they lived past two SF chapters. Maybe he had to do some work? Or better yet, took the week off to not sit at the computer!
True. I’ve actually been busy at work so can’t post as much.
I thought he said he was going on vacation, so if that’s correct you should see him pop up here again in a matter of weeks. But maybe that was someone else…you all look alike to me.
…white people?
The only one of you Glibs I could pick out of a crowd is HM, so there’s that.
Not so much scare him off as bore him, I suspect. Much of what John did was to rip apart the articles posted on Hit and Run. And every hour he could count on something with lots of loose ends for him to worry at until the tapestry had been reduced to a frayed mass of soggy threads. Here, the articles are fewer and tend to be more tightly woven.
We might be too genteel for a bar-room brawler like him.
We might be too genteel for a bar-room brawler like him.
I’d like to point that this was posted on a Hat & Hair story. I sometimes wonder if our moral compasses have been permanently demagnetized…
Our moral compass is SugarFree…
Ima let that sink in.
When the Stars Are Right and the Old Ones Return, you’ll be glad he has prepared you!
When R’lyeh rises from the sea, we’ll all get prime priority to beach front property.

I could whip up a post about body armor if you think it will bring him back.
Actually, I’d like that regardless.
Barely saved a typo there (“retardless”).
John would have been proud.
RC is related to John.
you heard it here first.
Oh no you di’int.
*drops gloves, doesn’t see DOOMco in the room, wanders off*
I suspect that’s the reason we haven’t seen other glibs in some time. Hamster was here in the beginning and I haven’t seen her in quite a while.
Answering tarran’s post, of course.
Probably froze to death in the harsh antipodean winter.
That was “invisible furry friend.” Sadly, she never joined us in the move.
And here I was thinking he’d say “you had me at Thicc Thrs”.
Not Thicc enough.
This was remarkably lacking in obscenity.
Yeah, something’s wrong.
WHERE IS THE REAL SUGARFREE, AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM????
I LIVE.
This post was actually written by Stevia.
Well I know what account name to use when I start trolling this place.
Not a criticism, just an observation: the Hat looks a lot like Crow T Robot.
BTW, it’s a little known fact that Crow T Robot and Kim Cattrall were an item for about a decade. That metal dude had taste.
“And he dated Kim Cattrall, back when that meant something.”
Are you sure that was Crow, and not Crow’s mysterious twin Timmy?
Gym sock fetish?
Ooooh, are we talking about working class German and British gay porn?
*pulls up chair*
Um…Porky’s the movie sir. *straightens up in chair*
Crow was also the president of the Kim Catrall Fanclub.
Been watching some MST3K reruns on YouTube, they’re still amusing and definitely better than the reboot. I get a kick out of the political and pop culture references that were relevant then and are probably meaningless to most people now. An added treat are the episodes with the commercials left in. I saw a telephone commercial from ’93 starring OJ Simpson’s grandmother spinning and cutting her way through the house to answer a collect call from Juice that I had to rewatch almost immediately.
The reboot started off pretty weak and has improved as it’s gone along, but I agree – still not up to the old episodes. I watch the old ones on YouTube all the time. I know I saw most of them when it was in first run, but I’ve been surprised by how many I don’t remember at all.
No links today?
Theyre coming… and theyre gonna be YUUUUGGGEEEE! The best links ever. Awesome. Genius.
Seriously, are the staff (if I may use that term) on vacation and/or at work, reducing the time they can devote to this site?
I won’t presume to speak for all commenters, but some of us are high-maintenance, some of us may hypothetically have articles waiting to be reviewed and wonder if they’re drawing straws tobe the ones to say the articles suck.
to be the ones
Considering how little actual work I do when I am at work I would be willing to take on more responsibility on the site. My biggest problem is I don’t look at shit outside of gun blogs and this place so my links would be…. well you’ll see.
Fine by me – you can never have too many gun links.
Nah, Robby’s just late again is all.
With his [bleep] cycle?
There I go again, ganging up on the pretty boy.
Please do. I miss the Robbie bashing
I think we’re going to have to draw straws or fight to the death or something over who gets to write the review of his book.
There should be an article just full of Robbie memes. A second Meme War front
Dibs on the tire changing meme.
Froot Soo-she
everyone should write one. It’ll feel like the old days.
Yes, we should have a whole week of nothing but reviews of Robby’s book.
God, I wonder if Sargon will do a review if we pay him $100? $200?
Too many reviews starts to push us into tsundere territory.
“It’s not like we like Robby-kun or anything, b-baka.”
I’d point and laugh, but only because I had the foresight to refresh before….I had something for this…to do with unprotected sex?
Lana? LANA? LANAAA?
Is anyone actually monitoring the level in that 55 gallon drum?
Askin’ for a friend.
I had to use a pint this morning
They were scheduled later by accident. Give it 50 mins. But there is a special treat… ALL VHYRUS, ALL FIREARMS LINKS!
50 mins? Nah. Pass
SPOILERS!!! NUUUUU!!!!
shush, bruh. I’m hypin’ your link drop.
Sure. “Accident”.
This is part of your grand scheme to kill us, isn’t it.
No, I actually think something is still wrong from the outage issue yesterday. I’m going to consult with the tech folks.
The protests at G20 look interesting.
I’ll look for a good link
Can an administrator just post a Gary Johnson meme while we wait for the links?
No. You’ll post on this thread and you’ll LIKE it.
Damn you
Anyone can do that…
How about a novel criticism of William Weld?
“Look, William Weld seems like a nice guy, so I’m sorry to pick specifically on him, but he represents this standard of patrician decency that we sometimes as a country still look to for guidance. When, at the end of the day, we’re living in a time of potential death in the streets by racists and rolling back of every healthcare protection for women who need an abortion,”…“There’s blood at the end of this, and I don’t give a flying fuck about your respectability.”
Apropos of this little story, I have looked at the kekistani FB page and if they are to be believed, the douche canoe who wrote the OP on the gif, his wife and parents and several high up CNN people have already been doxxed. Also in a turn of events that are completely out of character for them several posters are calling for an armistice with reddit, and further proposing a joint meme strike. They’re already calling it the Meme War of 2017. CNN really stepped in it, in a way that they can barely comprehend.
I can’t tell if this is the funniest or the dumbest paragraph I’ve ever read.
Who did what now? They’re at war with Reddit too?
This Meme War needs more memes
4chan is constantly at war with Reddit. It’s like… fuck, there’s no explanation, probably because I’m way too old to understand. But 4chan hates Reddit.
What is a Reddit?
4chan hates reddit with a passion, but are willing to work with them to crush CNN over this .gif thing. We truly live in interesting times.
So sort of like how I look at Team Red and Team Blue and say, “Can’t you just bond over your love of big government and authoritarianism?”
Now kith!
Kids in The Hall?
I read something similar. Apparently 4chan hates reddit for being too normie and reddit hates 4chan for being… well 4chan, but if those two powers were to ever unite…. *shudder*
4chan makes the stuff. they find the stuff.
then 4 days later Reddit shares it.
then 4 days later even more regular people start seeing it on facebook or instagram.
People all go to reddit.
4chan and reddit communities just don’t like each other. Like Irish clans.
The fatwa has been declared, Meme Jihad now.
Begun, the meme war has.
This is both exhilarating and weird
Shadilay
Shadynasty?
“Negress????”
Well, whatever the proper word was…
I’m stumped for an analogy for a 4Chan/Reddit alliance.
… still stumped …
Ribbentrop/Molotov pact?
Like a Mises Institute/CATO Institute alliance.
Reason/Lew Rockwell?
Justin Raimondo/Nick Gillespie
Al Queda / ISIS
One of those Batman villain team-ups between one of the worst with one of the lamest, like the Joker and the Riddler.
Rebels/Mandalorians
Easy.
4chan = North Korea
Reddit = China
Hitler and Stalin in ’44?
I’m confused. Can I assume that CNN is fucked? That assurance is good enough for me.
If Reddit and 4Chan can stop bitchslapping for two minutes then yes, yes they are.
How are memes going to hurt CNN?
This was /pol/’s last target.
What the hell was that?
Shia made the mistake of reacting to 4chan. They responded by hounding him to the ends of the earth.
Literally to the ends of the Earth. It was like a progtard LARP version of Ursula leGuin’s EarthSea.
In the end, Shia turned around and realized that he was his own Nemesis. (oops. Spoiler)
They actually tracked him down in a cabin in the Arctic Circle, fer cryin’ out loud.
Shia made the mistake of thinking he was some kind of social justice superhero and 4Chan turned out to be a much more formidable joker to his batman.
My favorite memes were the Gary Johnson ‘Bake the Cake’ memes.
It will be CNN’s immune system’s reaction to the memes that will do the damage.
The memes won’t the doxxing, hacking and pornados will. 4chan spent 6 months drving Shia Lebouf insane, and that was for the lulz, they take their anonymity very seriously, screwing with that is asking to be spamming with phishing emails and other madness.
You know 4chan is working on hacking CNN’s website. I can hardly wait.
If the key players at 4chan and reddit worked together for 24 hours it would be on par with the ending of Fight Club.
So there’s no 4chan and reddit working together?
They’re going to discover they are one in the same?
They will face memes the likes of which have never been seen before.
Or, a bunch of 15 year old autists will yell a bunch and think they’ve accomplished something.
Or both.
Both? Also, memes are not the only thing 4chan does
Well, they also post child porn. And loli hentai. A lot of loli hentai.
Anonymous will DDOS CNN.com and take it offline for like 15 minutes. What else are they going to do? The doxxing of CNN anchors already happened.
Not much, but it’s goddamn amusing to watch it all happen.
4chan’s not going to be amusing. The memes are going to be boring.
What’s going to be amusing is CNN’s sure to be wildly over the top response to it. Which will lead to a meme/response cycle that’s probably going to go on until the 4channers get bored.
That’s more or less what I meant. The memes will get old and rather predictable, but CNN will keep feeding it, which will jump start the cycle as you said. If we were in different time I would say that CNN would go begging FEDGOV for help but Trump is likely to tell them to get bent.
They did call in a drone strike once

And now we see the inconvenient truth: private corps will gladly chuck civil rights out the first available window and grab their ankles for government stooges.
““Nothing is more sacred to us than our religion and our holy personalities,” he added.”
What about your phony-balony jobs, your mistresses, and your pet goats?”
“What about your phony-balony jobs, your mistresses, and your pet goats?”
But you repeat yourself, sir.
Gentlemen, this is serious! We must protect our phony-baloney jobs! Harrumph, harrumph!
So I watched that trailer for The Bold Type earlier and thought, “Wow. There is no way I’ll see another trailer today with anything close to the same ability to nauseate the viewer.”
Then this one came up.
I’m just shocked that someone finally made a movie about living in New York.
I mean, I even LIKE New York City. Never lived there myself but I was born on Long Island and had plenty of family who did (not many still there now though). Made many a trip on the LIRR into NYC when I was little with my mom to visit aunts, uncles, cousins. Enjoy a trip up there every now and then. So I’m pretty favorably disposed to NYC as a place considering how much I loathe most of its inhabitants….and I still roll my eyes at how many movies and TV shows are set in NYC.
Freeform started out as CBN and went through multiple incarnations, probably most notably as the Family Channel followed by ABC Family. I believe it still runs The 700 Club because when Pat Robertson spun off CBN one of the contract requirements was that The 700 Club had an option to buy time on the channel for the show basically until kingdom come.
“…an option to buy time on the channel for the show basically until kingdom come.”
To be fair, they thought kingdom come would only take a couple years to arrive, if that.
Oh, it’s the former ABC Family? Kind of funny since the two ads they kept showing during Willy Wonka were that “We smash the patriarchy!” one and one for some other show about foster kids that had a bunch of same-sex couples in it. If they still have to show The 700 Club then it’s even funnier.
I now understand suicide bombers.
“Now”?
