2015 - Here are some gifs of Donald Trump being attacked by a bald eagle named Uncle Sam, literally the least patriotic thing that can happen to an American. [video]
I’m reblogging this again because I finally realized why this is so funny to me, as a bird person.
In the first gif, what you’re seeing is a man who has zero idea how to handle a bird. That’s a heavy bird, and he’s got his arm stretched out as far as it will go in an attempt to keep the bird away from his face. What that does is create unstable footing for Uncle Sam. The handler is there trying to hold up Trump’s arm, but the bird has already realized it needs to leave or it will fall. In the first gif the bird is not attacking Trump- it is trying to get away from him so it doesn’t get hurt.
In the second gif, what we see is a bird that remembers what just happened and is blaming Trump for it. Uncle Sam sees Trump reach for its tether, and makes a lunge at Trump’s hand to keep him away. The bird /does not/ want to hang out with Trump because it has learned that Trump has no idea what he is doing.
Uncle Sam is rejecting Trump based on Trump’s proven inability to properly handle Uncle Sam. And that is both hilarious and beautiful.
Good bird.
Always reblog Uncle Sam telling Trump to fuck off
This is a better explanation of these gifs than I could have given!
I had to reblog this, for obvious reasons.
A feel-good gif set
i’ve met Uncle Sam multiple times (the man helping trump in the first gif is his owner, and he travels around and gives presentations about birds of prey) and so i always find this super funny when it goes around because:
a) his owner was a bit too eager to tell us about meeting trump, but he also explained another thing that trump did wrong, which is that in the second gif, he approaches Uncle Sam from his blind side. naturally, Uncle Sam was startled and lashed out.
b) trump called him a “very dangerous bird”, but Uncle Sam is a rehabilitated bird who’s blind in one eye and has a bad wing, and he’s regularly included in nature presentations attended by children. i met him as a child. children are allowed to walk up to him as long as they don’t touch him because he’s a chill old bird who’s used to it.
the president of the united states is less respectful to an old harmless bird than a bunch of CHILDREN
people who can’t pay fines are put in jail. once in the system they can/will be kept for “violating” the terms of their sentence and shipped off to prison. once there, they can be used for prison labor to “work off the debt”.
this is slavery.
Basically a law against being homeless and that’s super disgusting.
its a class war and we have been losing for decades.
so a racist got utterly demolished in less than 30 seconds on the New Zealand morning news on Monday and itās one of the most beautiful things Iāve ever seen
who knew a white guy could be capable of such an iconic response, he knows whatās up and is having none of that shit, every other white guy take notes tbh
I love that he said Pakeha
Can someone write what its being said in this?
Male co-host: We have had a whole heap of feedback regarding
Te Tai Tokerau MP Kelvin Davisās proposal to institute a prison run on MÄori
values into New Zealand. Heās looking at potentially establishing this prison
up north. It isnāt Labour policy just yet, itās just an idea of Kelvin Davisās.
And this has been really really divisive on our Facebook page this morning. (sarcastically)
Here I think we have the single greatest email, the single greatest message we
have ever had on breakfast.
(clears throat deliberately) āāJaniceā says: Good morning. Iām
sick of hearing that MÄori need different treatment. If they donāt want to live
in our society, then maybe we should put them all on an island and leave them
to it.ā
Male co-host: āJanice. That is LITERALLY what happened! That
is the history of our country. Last I checked, MÄori WERE on an island, they
were left to it, and then PÄkehÄ (MÄori term for white New Zealanders) turned
up and look how that worked out. But thank you very much for that brilliant
insight. Goodness me. Unbelievable. Unbelievable, they actually-ā
Female co-host: āActually, you canāt even get angry, you
just actually need to laugh and then screw it up and put it under the desk.
Just when you thought-ā
Male co-host: (mimicking letter) āāPut them all on an
island, leave them to it.ā Yeah. What a great idea that is Janice.
I really needĀ āWhat a great idea that is, Janice.ā to be a meme filled with those stupid complete cognitive dissonance bigoted statements.
Have you ever wondered how someone meets Santa? Well, you need to follow a very specific ritual to summon him.
Do you have any idea how long I’ve had this queued? Any idea? A year. A fucking year. I don’t even use my queue ever. Ever. This is the only thing I’ve EVER queued. I’ve had this queued for a year so I don’t forget it.
everything about this video is perfect. the voice acting, the cookies, the milk, the cave, the chickens singing the imperial march for some reason, the way the sound of the fires starting lines up with the haunting song of the chickens, the way santa teleports right in front of the player at the last second. it’s all so surreal
