    It’s kind of an obvious joke about the border and immigration. The storm made landfall in Mexico and is now moving into the US. Conservatives think Biden just lets everyone in Mexico come over the border, so that’s the joke. Meanwhile liberals are laughing because they take it literally and think conservatives believe a storm can be detained. Come on folks. You need to be able to get a joke that was crafted for someone else or you are really stuck in your perspective.

        All the pieces to the joke are there but Fox proved yet again that conservatives suck at comedy.

          Yeah the work of joke writing is taking those pieces and assembling them together in a way that makes it funny.

          But you know what they say: lazy, entitled conservatives just don’t want to do the work.

      It’s hard to tell since the last time the republican party was in charge the leader of the party seriously thought you could just nuke a hurricane so I would not be surprised if the viewers of fox actually do blame Biden and think you can detain a hurricane

      Bruh this is the party of “Jewish space lasers”

      It’s hard to hear anything they say as coming from the mouth of anything other than a 4 year old

      You realize Fox News has said crazier shit that weren’t jokes? Remember when FN called Jamie Lee Curtis for being a hypocrite when it comes to gun control and she wielded a gun in a movie?

      Honestly, it’s hard to tell when they’re “joking”. I think it’s far more likely they just throw shit against the wall and see what sticks. Sure, many publications do that, but no outlet does it more disingenuously than FN. I’m not willing to give that network the benefit of a doubt.

      Either they’re serious, and that’s bad, or they made a joke that wasn’t funny, which is also bad. I’ll roll my eyes either way.
