He got real close to an actual thought provoking comic here but just couldn't resist drawing that arrow just in case we're too dumb to get the message.

Don't forget the vaccine syringe because???
Didn't notice that lol. Congrats to him on the subtlety I guess.
Ehh, I am not sure I'd call something virtually everyone would agree with thought provoking.
For Benny it is the deepest thought he's ever had
Brought to you by the same people that cheered like baboons for the Patriot Act. 9/11. Murica.
Idk, Ben might be an idiot but he was pretty libertarian before he went all in on Trumpism.
He was a raging narcissist who perpetually thought he was smarter and more special than everyone around him. I'd say that fits pretty well with most libertarians I've met.
Except Ben's biggest issue with those is that they stopped a fascist coup...
I thought when it was when he was creepily showing Greta getting “spanked.” 😮
Did they though?
Aren’t all of those part of the executive branch
How am i supposed to understand with no cum
So in 2001 when the PATRIOT Act was signed, that created the Department of Homeland Security (or DHS) under which the FBI, CIA and NSA were placed. If we give the US the benefit of the doubt (for a moment) the notion was that some government departments that didn't like each other very much would consolidate data for common concerns, which might help stop further terror attacks.
Spoiler: It didn't stop further terror attacks. The DHS was so concerned about Islamist terror from the Middle East (so much so it was abducting Americans for being slightly too Arab and too Muslim) for the CIA Extrajudicial Detention and Enhanced Interrogation program. That is to say, they were being taken to foreign black sites to be tortured until their mind was scrambled.
One the other things I noticed at the time (I'm old) is how the DHS was beholden specifically to the executive branch of the US federal government, where before the FBI and law enforcement were kept at respectable distance so the president wouldn't misuse police officers as goons or hit squads. In the 1930s, part of the point of the Waffen SS (or the SS in general) was to have a police / military force that was loyal not to Germany but to The Führer, himself In fact, it was a big deal in the NSDAP party doctrine to create chains of command and loyalty not through national structures but through structures of the party organization. So when George W. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security, I was even then getting are we the baddies? vibes.
Anyway, so it's a bit weird to me that the DHS isn't mentioned here as the name of that giant thorny branch. Other than the TSA the other three were their own separate things until that happened.
"Judicial" should be some kind of engorged, tumorously enlarged branch.
I always knew Legos were just another tool to keep us in line!
That alt-right dipshit lifted the idea from "The Gang of Four" lore from the 1980's Cyberpunk 2020 TTRPG. He just replaced DEA with TSA, which in itself is asinine. Why not ATF? The TSA is a joke.
Because the tsa is responsible for enforcing the no fly list Jan 6ers are on
Best guess: they made him drop his pants at the airport to do a cavity search.
Where's the CUM edit?
I'm favoriting this comment and expect someone to deliver the goods for pick up later
