White House honors Harambe 10 years after his death, hailing him as a “true patriot"

Every time I think we hit rock bottom of the dumbest timeline. The universe goes, “Hold my beer. “
The bottom of the fucking barrel and then lower than that. Fuck.
"The bar was on the floor and these dumb mfer's brought shovels"
Every show about alternate timelines had the characters visiting the weirdest timeline. Turns out WE are the weird timeline! Maybe we should all have goatees, ahah.
- looks on the mirror *
Shit
An AI eulogy posted by fascists. Some honor.
They're trying to make it uncool to remember Harambe.
And I bet from now on people will call it a right-wing dogwhistle any time you mention his name...
It already was a right-wing dog whistle, it was popular among all groups but it was spread by white supremacist trolls.
Since when? Lot's of people talked about Harambe. What is this nonsense about it being a right-wing dogwhistle?
Once people decide something is a dogwhistle, then they start calling anyone who says it names like white supremacist or whatever. You're pulling weight for the fascists by insinuating that anyone who talks about Harambe is a white supremacist. That's clearly what their intention is, don't enable their conquest of language and culture by giving credence to that.
It's not a dog whistle so much as it was especially popular among racist 4chan type posters, that was the primary demographic who originally spread it and who the post is shouting out to. It became popular among all sorts of groups, I'm not saying anyone who references it was a nazi or something, a lot of memes used by the right are similar in this way. They will be something innocuous or co-opted from the left or other cultures like the swastika being an Eastern religious symbol. They use art and culture as a tool for their ends like this.
Being a Veteran Of The Internet, I know to take screengrabs with a pinch of salt. I'll do my due diligence, thank you!
And, well, I wish I hadn't. Because now I know this is real and oh my fucking god
It's real... https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2059779450275864710
Jesus christ ... whichever 4chan incels were hired to run the U.S. web pages didn't even blink twice at turning a meme into a governmental announcement.
This is what it's about - completely outrageous displays of circusry to distract from it becoming an absolutely, pants-shittingly embarrassing mockery of its former glory.
The U.S is getting robbed blind and made to look like a buffoon simultaneously.
correction mate. The US is being robbed openly not blind.
FYI, this is far from the first time they've done this since January 2025. This has been the new reality for like a year and a half now
I'm never on xitter but i checked the official White House page i believe three or four times last year: it was a wild experience each time.
Before reading this article and hearing the name "Harambe"?
After reading this article?
So tired of having a White House that shit posts like a boomer trying to sound cool to 14 year olds
That far too old a target for the current Whitehouse.
is truly the most ignorant and least serious culture in all of history.
You're very proud of your little picture aren't you?
Not my picture lol, it's an emoji on loan from the folks at Hexbear 😆
But I am very happy with it, I just wished AmeriKKKa would banish itself to the fucking Shadow Realm so I wouldn't have to post it.
Please end us already. It's horrible
Please end us already.
PLEASE! COME AND END! ME!
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
REEEEEE!!!
Probably not healthy that this is my first thought when I think about AmeriKKKa 😅
Nice. It's a vibe.
WTF even is this timeline?
This post makes sense, though. None of these clowns would be on the White House if Harambe were still alive. Basic gratitude post.
They're really just throwing stuff at the wall at this point
Harambe memes were popular with 4chan neonazis and the like, they are shouting out to their base.
I feel like there would be a strong correlation between 4Chan from 10 Years ago and the trump administration today.
Exactly, the entire White House and DHS social media posts are now just cleaned up 4chan posts essentially. It's kind of surreal to think about how they are all being printed and stored in government archives, which is required by law of all official communication of the president. It will be such a trove for future historians if there are any.
No. Harambe was killed because a child fell into his enclosure. That child was black. Racists cake out in droves practically arguing that the ape's life was worth more than the child's.
The tweet is acknowledgment of that. The 'patriotic' moniker only makes sense for someone who believes black people are the enemy.
Huh, I never knew that. I always thought it was just some random internet obsession
Of course they're honoring him, his death sealed the current future where Trump get elected twice.
With this character's death, the thread of prophecy has been severed. Reload to restore the weave of fate, or persist in this doomed world you have created.
Love a good Morrowind reference
I prefer a meme-free white house, is that communism?
We're killing people overseas RIGHT NOW. We're arming other countries doing the same thing RIGHT NOW. These aren't joking matters. I won't even get into the various financial problems we're facing, whilst building a goddamn Octagon on WH the front lawn. If you don't have something important to say, shut the fuck up white house.
revolting brevity, Harambe would instinctively attack and dismember any of these clowns on sight.
And now, show me Epstein files.
I wish Trump had been put in cage with Harambe 11 years ago or so.
"Hello, Harambe, I'm President Donald J Trump, but you can call me Donald.
You know, a lot of people say you and I are alike. A lot of people, very smart people, some may even be smarter than me. They say we're alike because we're both big, strong, have great hair and huge hands.
But here you are eating ban-nan-nas. I don't eat ban-nan-nas. Actually I don't eat any type of fruit. Fruit is for pussies.
So, I'm gonna order in some hamberders. Have you ever had McDonalds, Harambe? Oh, it's fabulous! You'll love it, I promise you, Harambe."
Harambe kills himself.
But here you are eating ban-nan-nas. I don't eat ban-nan-nas. Actually I don't eat any type of fruit.
Damn I felt like I heard him saying this in me head!
Fine, a cage without Harambe than.
For a fraction of a second my brain went to some other less awful universe and I read this sentence as a totally normal thing of like "oh yeah of course, harambe must've been an important person and it's totally normal for rational governments to honour important people".
I want to stay there.
I wish to stay there with you.
Everything that can possibly be ruined, they will leave no stone unturned
On this day, Harambe stopped being funny. The memes, though dead, will live on forever in our hearts.
What.
Jesus, the entire administration is full of fucking morons. Even the aids that post on social media.
how is the onion even able to keep going at this point?
Apparently the US embassy in India is paying random people to put stickers of Trump's face on their vehicles. You literally cannot make this shit up
Truedat. Satire is, for all intents and purposes, dead.
Fitting.
The new heraldic animal for the bananan republic.
Shit hole country.
I usually try to read the article…and I’m left wondering what in the ever loving fuck I just read.
CIA looking for alien blood lines on 23 and me….I can’t tell real life from tabloid shit any more
As for Harambe, he was not a patriot. He was a beautiful animal that was shot despite being a gentle soul who did not hurt a fallen child. He did not care about human politics or Trumpian bullshit. Lovely being, yes. Martyr, maybe. Patriot, no.
Best case for shutting down the internet, imo. Bunch of people with internet poisoned brains in positions of power who would rather talk about an ape that died a decade ago than any problem facing a living human being today.
The internet is over, for now. Boomers and businesses killed it, until the next phase in human history.
I love how this post inadvertently shits on/ makes fun of 9/11 with the "we all remember what we were doing when it happened" line
So it’s been 10 years.
Let’s open the portal to get out of this alternate timeline
Everyone drop acid and walk in circles
Feels much longer than that.
But 2020 went on for at least 5 years.
LFG bitch I'm ready. I've been ready to GTFO this rock
The stupid pieces of shit have never known what a patriot is
Nope, they know that patriots are worth less than used toilet paper, and wipe their ass with patriots as needed to force everyone else into their vile agenda
When's national Dicks Out Day?
Everyday is dick out day where I'm at.
These clowns are not ready for me and the girls to strut our stuff
November 3, 2026
meme-washing
cheap, gets likes
In this case "dicks out" refers to the mid term elections
More of a patriot than any of the motherfuckers currently running the country
the fuck is this retarded shit, go shit on the south lawn you fuckheads
And then... MMA!
White Trash elected White Trash and got White Trash. News at 11.
How fucking secure can the Whitehouse be during an event like that? I mean that shit has got to be a security nightmare for secret service.
Isn’t a bad idea to have construction (like in the foundations phase) and have a public like event? Like it’s just begging to have some kind of sus…
Do we really need to drop an R-word here?
For a moment my brain thought:
"Is R-word = Republican? With a hard R?"
...yeah.
Oof. Fucking hate it here.
beginning to wonder if I've been in a coma since 2015.... and the madness is all just my brain shutting down more and more... because that's the only way this shit makes any sense
Explains why some of them couldn't keep their dick in their pants at least.
Why do they want to ruin everything lol
These idiots will deify anything, won't they?
This confirms that they know. They know where the timeline split.
First it was the suicidal penguin and now Harambe?
With all the money they're pissing away, you would think they could at least hire somebody to design a better propaganda campaign aimed at convincing their base to lay down their lives for the dictator... Or did AI take that job too?
I think you have to fix shit first before you earn yourself a meme post. Cunts
Considering it's a popular meme to trace the horrors of our current timeline to the demise of Harambe, it makes sense that this White House would honour his death. Without it they never would be where they are, doing what they're doing.
"... land of the apes ... and the home of the stupid ...". Are you free enough? Are you brave already?
A chimpanzee calling a gorilla a true patriot. Giving the Jan 6 freaks a billion makes sense now.
Flashbacks to his first presidential win. X.x
In the 2016 US presidential election aftermath, a false but repeated claim stated Harambe received over 15,000 write-in votes.
While there's a super small possibility this is thanking those 'voters' (when has fact checking ever mattered there), it's probably just working off the same meme idea that powered that rumor to begin with.
Finally, something we can agree on
How come he never got citizenship then?
