For a second I thought Stantis was so mad about Obama that he scribbled all over his head rather than draw a face. But then I actually parsed it and it's...good?

Yeah, Stantis finds himself on the right side of an issue more often than most of his peers. Don't count on hearing a peep from Ramirez, Branco, or any of those guys about GOP senators trying to torpedo international negotiations.

Rorus Raz posted:He draws Prickly City, which is probably more of his day job than his regular politicall cartoons. He used to subject the world to both in great numbers, so I guess we should be thankful that him being an idiot is mostly confined to Prickly City....which is nonsensical and pointless enough to be ignored entirely.

I'm actually not a huge fan of the "not a choice" argument so eh. It's just got a nasty implication that your attractions are awful and sinful but you can't help it so I guess it's okay. And bi people should exclusively be in hetero relationships? I mean, they can choose whom they date. I understand the intent of it, but it seems like using a worse argument to satisfy assholes. And what happens when Rusty Venture finally finds the gay gene

Emailghazi cartoons are really giving me flashbacks to the 2012 elections. I can't help but wonder if the GOP has forgotten that you have to have a candidate who is real and exists and is capable of getting the majority of Electoral Votes to win an election. Cutting down the opposition isn't enough by itself.

Just feel like talking about her because she is one of my favorite historical figures and there's a bit of trivia that always cracks me up: During the first couple years of Nero's reign everyone knew this 16 year old shitstain had no business being Emperor but they couldn't exactly put his mom in charge so when he did official Emperor business she would remain hidden behind a curtain and tell him what to do and say, everyone could tell what was going on but heaven forbid there be an actual Empress on the throne.

Samurai Sanders posted:Yeah, the best arguments in favor of gay rights have nothing to do with whether it is a choice or not. The best argument in favor of gay rights is basically "who gives a gently caress." e: meaning "why would it even bother you that some people are gay"...

In most arguments it's not so much an 'argument' as 'a reason why gay conversion camps and other such things are literal death sentences for many lgbt people and should probably be illegal' but it's cool you projected all this weird stuff about it leading to the gay cure like that lovely X-Men movie.

Wait, so Zed is friends with a guy named Gallagher who is "good with computers", and had characters go to Japan. Hmm. Whatever happened to the whole "send the women and children to Japan because Obama" plot point?

Rorus Raz posted:For a lot of people, that is basically the crux of the whole debate. Like, the first thing a lot of people bring up when you have to argue gay rights with someone. I'm not saying people are jerks or anything for bringing it up, but that it's not the best talking point. I guess I'm lucky I've never had to argue gay rights with anyone, but I really don't understand where you're coming from. Has anyone ever said that if you could prove that homosexuality is a choice, they'd be totally down with oppressing the gays?

the point is that the not a choice argument implies that, were being gay to be a choice, no one would choose to be gay. frankly, gently caress that. It oughtn't matter whether or not being gay is or isn't a choice, since it's perfectly acceptable either way.
