Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

It's funny a story but immigrants and the other people being racially profiled are bad ass members of our community. Food, culture, art, community support, etc...

I hope every ICE agent has to choke down dry ass gringo tamales for the rest of their lives.

Anyway, join DSA.
