No. 26 made me laugh because Sweden once had a king that was replaced by a stamp by his own privy council: he wasn't interested in ruling, and they feared that his wife would try to rule through him. One thing that may be of interest is that during the latter half of his reign (1766-1771) Sweden's proto-parliament ruled by what was called the Cap-party enacted the world's first and most far-reaching freedom of the press-laws. The only two things forbidden was slandering the monarch, and the state church: on all other topics, speech was completely free.

In fact, under those laws, we had greater freedom of speech than we've had since the 1980s.

"...they feared that his wife would try to rule through him." You mean like Macron's 'wife'?

Oho, no! Much grander than that.

Adolf Fredrik of Sweden was married to Louisa Ulrika of Prussia, sister to Frederick the Great, and it was her ambition to return Sweden to absolute monarchy, and to by allying with the realm of Frederick the Great create a central power stretching from the Arctic to the Mediterranean.

You should design one with an Elephant getting let's say 'mounted' by a Donkey - "Bi-partisanship - if you can get everyone to take it in the ass then nobody has to feel the shame or guilt." Thanks for your memes Bud - they really do help me get through the day. Peace!

Thanks Doug. I think some of those inter-party animal sex memes exist, though not with that exact wording.

I wouldn't want you to get busted for animated animal porno... which is definitely a possibility in this age. Keep up the good work my friend.

"In this house, we say gay and retarded."

That was fantastic. And everything is indeed, fake and gay.

Thanks! It's pretty much a full time job, but then, it's not really work since I enjoy it.

I made the one you previously published with Zelensky peering out of a washing machine. If anyone's interested, there's a ton more archived in my Substack.
