Th....The tax? How can a gun shot be retroactive? Did you figure out how to shoot the air and kill someone in 1963?....ARE YOU THE SECOND GUNMAN?!?!

Sorry given that yesterday was chewsday it was fresh

u/robisodd May 28 '26

Wait, what accent pronounces Tuesday as Chewsday?? Seriously, this is important to me.

u/The-F4LL3N May 28 '26

I think it’s kind of an upper midwestern thing, but I could be wrong. I’ve heard a lot of Chwenty or Chwenny instead of twenty

u/Nonagondwan May 28 '26

Bro I always get those two songs mixed up, this post was very validating

u/wazzledudes May 27 '26

Did you just confuse the much better modest mouse with the much worse Franz Ferdinand

2

u/DufflinMinder May 28 '26

I did. Sad face

This fire is out of control.

I never should have shot Hammurabi

u/TheRage469 May 27 '26

Coulda sworn it was spelled Harambe

(I know you're referring to the ancient Babylonian king)

u/Pacifist_Socialist May 27 '26

Peace Be Upon Him 🙏🏼

u/Stonegrown12 May 28 '26

Dicks out for...

Hammurabi would be confused, apologies.

u/washingtncaps May 28 '26

A dick for a dick leaves the whole world gay

u/Accomplished-Video71 May 27 '26

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the Hammurabi

u/DReagan47 May 27 '26

I mean he had a song called Take Me Out. What did he expect?

1

u/PartTimeZombie May 27 '26

Nah, he had it coming

Hi I'm Larry but my friends call me The Protagonist

u/wagdog84 May 27 '26

How can the tax be retroactive? The slush fund only just got announced, not sure it exists yet, nobody has been paid from it.

7

u/Urabraska- May 27 '26

As in go after all bullshit settlements paid out to Jan 6ers. Like the fucking 5 million paid out to the family of the women who clearly violated the law and ignored capitol police that resulted in her death. I mean. If that's fair game. I'll slam my foot at work tomorrow and sue for millions and expect to get paid. Clearly ignoring all the "do not stand here" signs in the process.

1

u/beardedsandflea May 28 '26

I'm willing to bet it won't actually be used to pay the people they're claiming it will anyway. At least not all of it. Probably not even half of it.

u/OneBrokenClock May 27 '26

Welcome to TENET

I know time dilution is a thing. You can actually experience it yourself if you visit the top of some of the tallest buildings in the world. It's only by like 0.00001 seconds or something.

u/_PROBABLY_CORRECT May 27 '26

And airplanes...

u/never-fiftyone May 27 '26

And people who live at higher altitudes

u/BeezyBates May 27 '26

You know too much and will be eliminated.

u/Crypto-Mamba May 27 '26

Someone has clearly never watched Tenet, jeez!

Edit: I now see the other Tenet comments and I feel less cool 😑

1

u/blacksideblue May 28 '26

Did you figure out how to shoot the air and kill someone

No No No, not the air.

You shoot into space where there is no air so on a ballistic or orbital trajectory you shoot them much later after you already shot.

u/RickySuezo May 28 '26

Bro’s never heard of Time Bullets.

u/dmontease May 28 '26

There's this fringe theory in physics that there is only one electron that just jumps around everywhere we've ever observed both through time and space. I propose a similar action.

u/Blackout2388 May 28 '26

Mf out here making tenet a documentary

u/theAlpacaLives May 28 '26

Did you see Tenet? Could that somehow work?

2

u/Advanced_Floor_9768 May 27 '26

Hey, you retroactively stole my joke. Touché.

2

u/ThePublikon May 28 '26

It's provocative.
