Republicans pounce!

A headline in a newspaper or other article that describes Republicans (or other right-leaning individuals) attacking a Democrat (or other left-leaning individual) when that Democrat commits a misdeed. Always written by a reporter with left-wing political views, it will attempt to frame the Republicans as overzealous, and will either downplay, ignore, or excuse the Democrat's misdeed. Commonly done by the New York Times or Washington Post, it is often viewed as a sign of the bias within the media.

Republicans

Republicans are one of two dominant political parties in the United States, and the one that cleaves to generally rightist policies.

Gained support by convincing poor whites that poor blacks benefited disproportionately from aid programs, thus getting a bunch of plutocrats elected to office for the sole purpose of giving tax cuts to the rich.

Also reflexively oppose every policy proposed by a liberal group on principle.

Dislikes government regulation of business. Would rather we have no way to stop businesses with evil intent from abusing us.
One good example (or bad one, depending on how you look at it) of a Republican is George W. Bush.

The Tea Party have about 90% of the time voted for Republicans, so any bullshit about them not being Republican is only so Republicans have scapegoats for the occasional really insane shit they do.

9/11 Republicans

Republicans

a political party that was orignaly anti-slavery when founded in the mid 1800s. Republicans cut taxes so they can stop spending on programs that look after the welfare of the poor and the middle class.Many conservitives argue that this spurs buisnes growth and helps the stock market and trade between nations grow.The problem is that tax cuts are just helping that side of the econmy grow without acounting for the other which results in smaller buisnesses getting crushed leading to a reduction in wages.When this happens the workers earn less income causing the standard of living to go down. when the standard of living gos down there is less investment for the future since public funding for schools are bringing in less revenue due to tax cuts causing those who cant afford private schools to go to public schools that arent funded well enough by the goverment to maintain a certain standard like getting kids to graduate or makeing a school drug free.When this happens public schools start closeing and the students who cant afford private schools just sell drugs or join gangs(or join a wal-mart since all the small buisneses have closed due to taxcuts).Republicans are also Racesist
to many tax cuts im gonna sell drugs,ya na mean if the goverment isnt gonna help me and jobs aint paying good enough i mine as well provide for myself anyway i can.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
