Gosh. This photo on its own is so haunting and terrifying. The words are frightening. It makes us feel like we have signed up to something we cannot undo. Outstanding work Lamar ๐คโค๏ธ๐ค
That was slightly unexpected!! Congrats on honourable mention on toughie week's leaderboard, Lamar!!
โReentry taxโ feels like the perfect way to sum up how disconnected policy can be.
Had to laugh---a serious laugh! A cool haiku!!
Wooohooooo congratulations on your Leaderboard placement! ๐๐๐๐๐๐
Back to say congratulations on placing on Vocal's weekly Leaderboard runner-up list. Well done.
Laugh all you want, but this is coming!
Hilarious!
This is priceless satire, Lamar! Itโs amazing how much mileage you squeezed out of 17 syllables! The pic is hilarious too!
Th world is getting ridiculous...we may finally see that alien invasion we been hunting. good one. but I aain't eating there.
Love it
Good one. Wonder if the fast-food clerk is a teen.
pleasant haiku-- the smile is still on my face
We can only laugh at the absurdity of all this, right? Great haiku, Lamar, and a hilarious image.
Ha ha must check out a Snacky Shack next time I pop across The Pond
Sharp and impactful.
That picture pared with comical wit says it all. Laugh for the day
HahahahahahahaHahahahahahaha that's hilarious! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Great piece, and unfortunately, itโs so accurate, too.
Ha! Taxes and tariffs on everything and we are all still broke and in debt. Literally. The whole country. I'm tired of having the people who lost trillions of American dollars be in charge of our money. ๐ซ ๐ซ Also, I'd not pay the fee to re enter. At this point, I'd happily let the aliens beam me up. I'm tired of it here ๐คญ
Whelp, weโre putting tariffs on everything else, so why not? Well written satire, Lamar!
Lol Go Lamar! ๐
Happy Liberation Day 2. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
It's fact and satire all mixed. The punch is so astute I don't know whether to laugh or cry . So good!
Ughhh thereโs nothing like self inflicted wounds right
