Are we really supposed to believe that some "Numenorean ranger" showed up at the gates of Mordor precisely when the hobbits were making their surgical strike? All the footage of that time shows a paltry force of a few hundred, are we really expected to believe that this was a credible threat to Sauron? That all of the forces of Mordor had to be mobilised to face it, pulling them away from their guard posts and off the main roads? How precisely did the all-seeing eye of Sauron just "miss" these two big-footed shits waltzing into Mount Doom? And, most damningly, this comes just days after thousands of Orc forces died within the walls of a city they'd already conquered! Wake up, dorcs!

Look, I'm really more concerned about Trump's plan to obtain a Silmaril and then "negotiate" with the sons of Feanor when they come for it.

And Fiorina, of course, wants to invade loving Valinor.

Yeah that poo poo with the refugee girl pisses me right the gently caress off. Yes this is all a PLAN concocted by FREELOADERS and not, y'know, half the major militaries of the world are all blowing poo poo up in their home country right now, while ISIS and their own government tries to kill them.

Yes, but that would require them to see the refugees as actual people, which conflicts with the usual "convenient punching bag to blame for my own failures" view that bigots love.

A group of House Republicans conspired in the demise of Speaker John Boehner. They thought he was ineffective. Unfortunately their replacement Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, was even more ineffective. He committed a gaffe that fit the Democrat’s narrative that the Benghazi hearings were all about destroying Hillary.

So they had to whack him too.

Vladimir Putin is in Syria killing people and breaking things. He told the US to get out of the way. Putin’s the new cop in the Middle East. He says Russia is part of an alliance to stop ISIS, like the alliance to stop Hitler. But he seems more interested in stopping the revolt against his guy, Bashar Assad.

Barack Obama is flexible. He showed no sign of humiliation. He even welcomed Putin but warned him about be getting into a quagmire. Then he got out of the way.

Crazy weirdo etymology starter kit: "You keep the change I'll keep my guns and freedom," "sanctuary city," "prophecy," "caliphate," "gun-free zone," "welfare," "molon labe," "rebel pride," and treating people that groom themselves with deep suspicion. There are several phrases that have slipped my mind, but those are things some people say that alert me to them being insane. Some have since fallen out of use like, "Saddy Insaney," but they are phrases that have no relation to reality other than being mentioned on AM talk radio, national news, and whackjobs on the street.

Prophecy and welfare at least seem like they'd need contextual clues, they're perfectly serviceable words. The rest is spot on.

Wolves are tools of killing by nature, and we cannot simply outlaw them, but must instead take active measures to keep them out of society. AGC

Bonus points: Try to figure out the intended reading. Sheep should be allowed to carry wolves onto campus? I feel like there's an idiom that applies to concealed wolves within a community of sheep...

Uh it's a real thing and not just the fever nightmare of Wayne LaPierre

Whether you think its a good or bad idea (its probably a good idea), the Gun-Free School Zones act of 1990 made it a federal crime to carry a firearm in a school zone. State legislatures have extended similar laws to various places like churches and bars.

I think his point is that the left wants actual comprehensive gun control reform and the right wing focus on gun free zones as being an ineffective deterrent misses the point.

Gun Free Zones will not actually protect you from guns. So they're useless. So they shouldn't exist. In short, it's this, but unironically.

Well, yeah, that's kind of the intention. They know people might actually support some real policies, so they try to spin all of it as just ineffective nonsense to make doing nothing but adding even more weapons to the equation look better by comparison. Bonus points for making the opposition look weak and indecisive since so much of gun support depends on the macho power fantasy like the "good guy with a gun".

You should have read the link article. The artist clearly states that real refugees deserve aide, and her cartoon is about the fake refugees who just want to mooch off Europe. She apparently does a lot of other political manga, too, including one where an adorable cat girl denies the Comfort Women, Korean women forced to become sex slaves for Japanese troops during WWII, ever existed.
