    Not sure I get the joke. Is it that Trump is bombing Yemen publicly? (Because he’s too inept to keep a secret?)

        I still don’t get it, though. Is the woman on the right a Democrat? A citizen of Yemen? Is she serious or sarcastic? Is the operative word “secretly”? Does this have to do with the Atlantic guy being in the chat or not? Who is she yelling at on the other side of the fence? Is the image one I should recognize?

        My guess is that it is a joke and the point is that while Obama (a Democrat) famously “secretly” bombed Yemen, Biden probably did the same, Trump bungled his attempts at secrecy through the whole inviting-the-Atlantic-guy-to-a-“private”-Signal-chat thing, the woman in the image is someone who boycotted the vote rather than vote for the Democrats who secretly bomb Yemen, and you’re mocking her (rightfully so if any of this interpretation is correct) for helping to get Trump, who bombs Yemen more, elected. But I’m about 10% certain that was your intention.

        Also, you claim “this is no joke” but it’s posted in a community named “Funhole” “…exclusively for fun content”? You being the only mod of this community, I can’t imagine you weren’t the one who wrote the sidebar description. About the only guess I can make as to what your meaning is that maybe the original post, strictly speaking, is a joke but the point it’s making (through humor) is a very serious one. (Which, well, yeah. It’s about bombings in Yemen, which is bullshit.)

                maga bot, you can tell because they’ve been shifting to “Hello fellow leftists, AOC sure is evil, ya dig?”.
                when in fact they’ve been against bombing everyone, but ALSO anti conducting secret war plans with no accountability, no official records, as well as subpar security….
                oh and also it “backs up” all of those messages to a private server, because it’s some russian spy fork of signal.
                we’ll be seeing more of this. They’re afraid she’ll run for president.
