kick back and relax
Crossposting from Auspol - we have a fine cartoonist by the name of David Pope, and he just released a great piece.

For some context - a report regarding the treatment and living conditions of children in Australia's offshore detention system for 'illegal' refugees came out today (hence the art style). In short, it's absolutely damning, and a very distressing read.



At top left is Wyatt Roy, a very young parliamentarian and Liberal Party member (conservative party currently in government). He recently had the gall to advise our rapidly-sinking Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, that maybe he'd regain some lost ground by perhaps admitting his mistakes and broken electoral promises, and trying to move on in a positive way, maybe? Abbott, in front of a gathering of many other MPs, told him to gently caress off.

Top right is, from left to right, Matthias Cormann, Finance Minister and all-round right-wing rear end in a top hat; Joe Hockey, hilariously incompetent Treasurer who smokes cigars and thinks fuel price hikes hurt the rich way more than the poor; and Abbot, who has big ears. The LNP are polling horrendously at the moment, approximately 43-57 against the opposing Labor Party.

Bottom left should be pretty self-explanatory (the building with the flag is supposed to represent our Federal Parliament), and bottom right is Abbott again, who was an amateur boxer and, in his student politics days, intimidated female political opponents by deliberately punching walls next to them.

Sorry about the words, it's all a bit regional but I felt it should be shared.

edit: The cartoon is based off real drawings by children in detention.

I'd get more angry about Gary Varvel being a hack and a dishonest cheerleading troll, but then I go to his FB wall and I see this:

quote:

I say again he is a f------ idiot and your right it does not have anything to do with it. I think I know what you meant. Ill say it a different way. Hes a liar, he does not like America. He does not have the skills to run this country. He's the unions and wall streets man ( if thats possible) He is all about himself. For him to go to Europe and apologize for America wile he is a couple of blocks away from some 20,000+ americans who died for Europe's freedom. He he is lost. There is a drama almost everyday. I can not think of a good think he has done. The best thing he will do is leave in 1 year 10 months 19 days 2 hours 7 minutes and 38 ,37,36 35..............sec and Thanks for both of you support.

There you go, Gary. Cranks and shut-ins are your people. Embrace them, you silly, silly man.

Dunno about it being boys specifically, but he was caught with Viagra that wasn't his on a trip back from the Dominican Republic, which is notorious for underage sex tourism. And apparently doesn't have a lot of other tourist attractions for a group of rich dudes coming in on a private jet with boner pills.

As for him being a pill popper, his issues with painkillers are easy to google up.

Joe Biden's Plan

According to FOX News:
Biden to Miss Netanyahu Address to Congress>p /> "Vice President Biden is expected to miss Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to a joint meeting of Congress -- apparently because of overseas travel -- as several Democratic lawmakers plan to sit out the address in protest. A White House official confirmed to Fox News on Friday that the vice president will miss the address, as he will be traveling abroad. As president of the Senate, Biden would typically attend a joint meeting of Congress, putting the White House in a bind because of its irritation about Netanyahu's visit.
The White House has accused Netanyahu and congressional Republicans of breaching diplomatic protocol by arranging the address without coordinating with the administration. Biden's overseas trip allows the White House to avoid the awkwardness of having the vice president sit behind Netanyahu during the address. It's unclear where the vice president plans to travel, though his office said the unspecified trip was in the works before the prime minister's trip was announced. Netanyahu is scheduled to address Congress on March 3.
Wait, I hadn't even considered that. Would Biden have to sit behind Bibi if he attended? Because now I kind of want to see him sit back there rolling his eyes and making the jerkoff hand motion. Maybe sneak in a little bomb graph as a callback to one of Bibi's other stupid speeches.
