Time for the 5th edition of coronavirus humor (previous versions here, here, here, and here).
Our first item is one that may me laugh out loud, perhaps because it also reminded me on another cameo appearance by Bill Clinton.
Next, we have Bernie Sanders celebrating America’s coronavirus-inspired experiment with socialism.
My friends on the left keep insisting that there’s a difference between socialism and democratic socialism. I guess that applies to coronavirus as well.
This cartoon is worth sharing. For what it’s worth, I actually prefer it when politicians hate each other rather than when they engage in “bipartisanship.”
Since most people actually over-pay during the year (thus giving the IRS an interest-free loan) because of withholding and get an annual refund, this next image isn’t actually accurate. But it’s still amusing.
Here’s a clever cartoon strip about Trump continuing his pattern of spending other people’s money.
I wrote a few days ago about some of the senseless enforcement actions of state and local governments. This Ron White meme would have been an ideal addition to that column.
Regarding the Constitution, I’ve mostly focused on how it is supposed to protect out economic liberty. But here’s a clever reminder it applies to other freedoms as well (even if it would be smart to minimize the exercise of some of those freedoms).
Here’s a meme that almost everyone will recognize, though it’s been modified to show how Nancy Pelosi is being mocked for caring more about her ultra-expensive ice cream than about small businesses.
Since almost everyone in Washington is an out-of-touch elitist, there are plenty of opportunities to mock Republicans as well.
No collection of humor is complete without at least one item from Babylon Bee.
In a candid speech Tuesday, President Xi Jinping stated he was “pretty impressed” by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak, specifically praising her totalitarian policies.
…”She has some pretty great ideas — stopping people from gathering together even with their families, ordering people not to buy seeds — they can’t even plant their own food now! We hadn’t even thought of some of these innovative approaches,” the Communist president said. “We’re always looking for more ways to oppress people, and we were really inspired by Whitmer’s approach.” …Other dictators across the world also chimed in with words of support and affirmation for Whitmer’s policies, from North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un to Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei.
Politicians love to get people snitching on each other (see Andrew Cuomo, Richard Daley, and David Cameron), so this bit of satire is both amusing and accurate.
I think this next image might be an actual depiction of Dana Milbank.
Needless to say, this next image is a joke. But a funny one.
Vladimir Putin is infamous for his bare-chested horse riding, so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised somebody extended that to the coronavirus.
Since politicians are releasing criminals and announcing that they’re cutting back on law enforcement, there’s a serious point to this next bit of satire.
I’ve saved the best for last. This made me laugh, both because Trump probably would do this if he could get away with it, and because some people hate Trump so much that they would tick the box that gives them nothing.
I haven’t thought of anyone in the White House as “my president” since Ronald Reagan.
That being said, I’ll still cash my check. I’ll rationalize that choice by viewing it as return of stolen funds.
P.S. If you want some Trump-specific humor, I recommend this collection of maps and this collection of videos.

The Hindoo coward,impotentica Rama who took 12 years to make a bridge to Lanka, is going to space !
The Hindoo morons did not know that the Earth Rotates and that the Sun is still !
Even a FOOL knows that the earth rotates on its axis causing day and night.
But according to Vedas, the earth is static and this statement is repeated several times. The following are some of the examples:
1. Oh Man ! He who made the trembling earth static is Indra. (Rig Ved 2/12/12)
2. The God who made the earth stable (Yajur Ved 32/6)
3. Indra protects the wide earth which is immovable and has many forms (Atarv Ved 12/1/11)
4. Let us walk on the Wide and Static earth (Atharv Ved 12/1/17)
As the Veds Claim that the earth is static and so they tried to prove that the sun moves around the earth.
The following statement from the rig Ved tries to clarify it:
“Sun is full of light and knows all the human beings, so his horses take him to sky to look at the world” (Rig Ved 1/50/1)
“O, Bright sun, a chariot named harit with seven horses takes you to sky” (Rig Ved 1/50/8)
A Universal Fact
While proving the existence of scientific knowledge in Veds, some go to the extent of claiming that the sun has magnetic powers or powers of attraction of gravity.
“O, man, the sun who is most attractive, takes round of the earth, on his golden chariot through the sky and removes the darkness of the earth” (Yajur Ved 33/43)
As for the moon, the Veds have only to say that it runs in the space, which is full of water – a universal fact that no one can deny, hence nothing new. (Rig Ved 1/105/1)
WATER or GAU MUTRAM ?
Reblogged this on Boudica2015.
“That being said, I’ll still cash my check. I’ll rationalize that choice by viewing it as return of stolen funds.”
RIGHT!!
With so many differences to the tax laws and the loss of certain exceptions and such… this “stimulus” is our own money anyway.
