I’m just amazed by how narrowly targeted this joke is: the setting must have seemed so relatable and ubiquitous at the time, but is almost indecipherable now…

Is this a joke about motor brushes and electromagnetic interference?..

Make the biggest threats, buy on the dip; tout great progress, sell on the rise. It’s a perfectly reasonable activity for a president.

But he plays one on TV in government!

He sounds worse now…

That description is apt… what a timeline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td_PcUjXnjE

I think this is a big part: it’s not (just) that every day republicans can’t let old themes go. It’s also that their handlers know “this one was a big hit, let’s make a remix, that’ll fire the old morons up”.

Bang stick harder. Ooga booga let go of balls now.

I’ve heard (in an older YouTube video that I can’t find anymore) that this is not as bad as it sounds. Radiation limits are, supposedly, ridiculously low right now because of public perceptions/fears of times past. As in, they are uselessly low, way below what people in many occupations regularly experience with no measurable ill effects, but the limits incur large costs and complications.

Take this with a lot of salt though, since I have nothing to back up my vague memories of this.

That’s a very weird concept for a comic. Sounds like even the artist had second thoughts about it.

Oh god, I only have an upper case A key, where the a key?
