Obviously, the Illuminati and the Bohemian Club has this worked out, years ago.

We’re just sheep, being led to the slaughter.

Why do I get this sinking feeling that I’m a Thermian viewing the “historical documents”.

If the TRUMP sign in the Simpsons pic is legit, we’re all being played.

Or Trump is having a piss by copying it.

Either way, funny.

@ Smoke: I gave you thumb’s up. You referenced one of the funniest movies of all times, IMO.

Bonus points to anyone who can name that movie.

Trump is truly America’s last hope. Immigration by alien groups with no sense whatsoever of limited government and participatory government is drowning the country. Debt is swallowing the country — look at the trillions created and the anemic GDP results from this vast money printing.

We need walls, much lower regulations, much lower taxes, and a strong military that defends US, not the whole GD globe.

Teh Simpsons actually has a rather impressive track records of predicting the future.

Among many, many others including driverless vehicles and even the mathematics of the mass of the Higgs Bosun.

Yes, indeed, that was from Galaxy Quest. I didn’t even have to g**gle it cuz I’ve seen GQ about a dozen times. A truly hilarious movie.

Of course — for those who don’t know — Galaxy Quest parodies Star Trek … and its fans. As such, the “Thermian historical documents” was probably parodied with this actual Star Trek episode (The Omega Glory) in mind.

Smoke Jensen easily wins TBP comment of the day. Maybe of the week.

I didn’t have to google it either. Unlike Stucky, I’ve watched Galaxyquest at least 13 times. Originally saw it in the theater, on a date. The whole transporter accident made me laugh so hard it was difficult not to spit up. Fortunately the date found it funny as well.

“…. and it exploded.”

Why is it that Sanders and Trump use the same font and colors on their campaign banners? I think some of the other campaigns also use the same ones.

And how does the Simpsons always end up with predictive programming?

We live in the matrix.

I must be the only one here who missed GQ. I hope Netflix or Amazon has it available.

You said it tim. Everytime i hear the establishment is in mortal fear of trump presidency i realize the reporter doth protest too much. Americans are being played like a fiddle with kletzmer music into putting donny in so called power. To me its no surprise if these images are all 4 legit. These are all characters on tv shows. Never watched them myseld.

Dunno if Simpsons writers are predictives or insiders…or maybe its just that tRumpf is such an arrogant blowhard with a ludicrous do and a target for comics.

Never saw GQ but found Red Shirts (book by John Scalzi) to be a funny parody of Star Trek.

There are many books in that series. You get a thumbs up for being the first to put it together.
