This Week Was a Lot So We Let the Internet Explain It: Sunday Funnies

Ten memes that capture the state of the nation.

Another week in American politics where the people in charge somehow seemed both overconfident and underqualified. So, as always, the internet rose to the occasion: with gallows humor, emotional damage, and a level of disrespect the moment fully earned.

Welcome to the Sunday Funnies, Coffman Chronicle Style. Here was your week, in three acts.

The Adults Are Somehow Not in the Room

Imagine spending your entire career in national security just to end up trapped in this group project.

American foreign policy, now sourced entirely from the president’s contacts list.

At some point, it stops being disappointment and becomes performance art.

Corruption With the Volume Turned All the Way Up

Nothing suspicious, just the market reacting with breathtaking precision at a very convenient moment.

The most aggressively documented “we barely knew each other” of our lifetimes.

Petty, Mean, Extremely Online

This bit got litigated and still survived. The internet remains undefeated.

When the bit goes on long enough, it becomes the brand.

Ending in Full Internet Poisoning

Even the punchlines around these people come with real-estate implications.

The worst monument idea ever conceived, which is saying something in America.

Foreign policy discourse has entered its pun-based collapse stage, and we are all trapped inside it.

Outro

Anyway, that was the week: corruption, chaos, war-posturing, and enough cursed imagery to last until Monday. Rest up, hydrate, and prepare to once again watch the most powerful country on earth conduct itself like an unmoderated comments section.
