        Grue (sp?) meme:

        Panel 1: Boss invades Ukraine because reports said our military is 2nd best in world

        Panel 2: Is not going so well because reports were lies and boss is shoot the messenger kind of guy.

        Panel 3: We make plan of just lie. Boss is too paranoid to leave bunker except to flee to different bunker, so will never know truth.

        Panel 4: Bunker gets CNN.

          The Despicable Me character in that meme is “Gru.”
