The People's Cube - Political Satire

What an amazing year of achievement this has been for The Party™, comrades.

Whilst convincing the Teabaggers that they actually had an opportunity to overturn all of Dear Leader's unpopular policies by voting against The Party™ in the mid-term elections (the fools don't know what is best for them), The Party™ has, in reality, cemented its position of power for the foreseeable future.

Within the Senate, 22 Party™ operatives, claiming Republican credentials, gives The Party™ a super-majority that could overturn any veto that would be likely to occur, should we allow the Teabaggers to have their candidate assume the office of POTUS in 2016.

Within the House, There are only about 30 representatives who can, honestly, claim Teabagger affiliation.

In short, we have the Teabaggers in the bag!

The wonderful aspect of this achievement is that we can have different caucuses within each of the political "parties" placate certain groups of constituents without actually risking a loss of power through an election.

Now, it's simply a matter of allowing people to tell us, every two years, how upset they are with us, we pretending that we are taking note of their complaints, whilst continuing to move our agenda of absolute central control forward. In fact, we can even pretend, as Dear Leader has demonstrated, that we are listening to the people who are so disheartened that they can't even be bothered to complain.

It doesn't matter that voters hate congress. They have no other options.

As Mark Twain once noted, if voting really mattered, we wouldn't let them do it.


FORWARD!

Is this one of those "What's wrong with these pictures?" puzzles? There was a time in our great republic that the likes of these wouldn't pass muster for picking up trash on the White House grounds.

I can see why you might think that, comrade. There are certainly details that appear significantly different, between the two images.

I'm wondering, myself, why everyone in the second photo has their hands either between or on their legs and what the significance of the colours of the neck ties happens to be. In the first pic, the neck ties all appear to be a shade of blue and in the second they are all a shade of red.

Nancy Peloski doesn't seem to like to have her suits greatly differ in colour.

In any case, all 5 Party™ leaders seem to be in a very celebratory mood.

Congress has a similar attitude to the Cable TV companies. If you replace the Cable TV company with Congress, you will have an accurate picture. Of course, The Party™ and the media are two peas in a pod so we should not be at all surprised that the attitude is no different.



Sorry about the quality. Good quality clips are blocked.

Kapitan,

At least cable TV is still a "service" and not mandatory. I can't say the same for government "services"- if you know what I mean. But Dear Leader is working hard to korrekting this oversight.

This is true, comrade Craptek. Health insurance used to be that way, too. The Party™ does have a policy of universal broadband service so it's only a matter of time before free individuals are compelled to purchase broadband services via government owned and/or regulated Cable TV companies. As a former Cable TV technician, I can tell you that the industry believes it will be a monopoly within 10 - 15 years. I was given that information by a trainer. The merger of Time Warner and Comcast is just the first of the large consolidations.

Comrade Fhalkyn, you are speaking Party™ doctrine with eloquence and brevity.

The GOP won an election!

At this point, what difference does it make?

The loyal Party™ operatives in the Republican ranks will continue to "reach across the aisle" to assist The Party™ in moving the agenda FORWARD! whilst saving all their vitriol and malevolence for the Teabagger types. There is really no significant resistance left.

All things considered, the Obama administration has united many of us (including Democrat and Republican leadership).

Some of those "hands" were used to roll "pigs in a blanket".

Those are two different meanings of the word "service," Comrade.

In the latter case, it has the same meaning as when a bull "services" a cow.

Comrade Mik, it's a common error to believe that when a CATV company talks of 'service' that they mean something other than the meaning of the word relating to bulls and cows. They don't. Customer Service is directly related to the bulls and cows analogy.

Perhaps you should review the South Park clip I posted above. Better yet, try calling your local CATV Customer Service Hotline.

As a recovering veteran of the CATV industry, I assure you that government 'service' and CATV 'service' differ only in the method of implementation. One still ends up with a lot of sewage one neither needs nor desires and one still ends up paying through the nose for it.

Most are also convinced that they are in need of both types of 'service'. It's a bizarre form of Stockholm Syndrome which The Party™ will happily exploit.

Just one more brick in the wall, Comrade Mike. Just one more brick.

Au contraire, mon camarade fourrure. The wall has been abandoned by executive fiat. Amnesty for everyone, except amnesty deniers. We put those reprobates behind fences, not walls. We want them to be exposed to pointing and ridicule.

Our Great Leader has charmed the opposition.

Taking hits from the bong worked like a charm. Who knew?

I wonder what effects lines will have on the extremely loyal "opposition".

Party™ Komrade Karl instructs the newly elected party officials on the art of abandoning their principles for the good of The People™. "We're all Communists Socialists Progressives Democrats now."

Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people

"Hands up, DON'T VOTE...!"
