Yeah. Everything would be so much better, if Obama was more like him. Vote Trump.

North Korea's weapons technology is mired in the 1950s. A Good Ca-loving seriously Ramirez you drew a literal vacuum tube on a caricature of the Fat Man bomb from 1945.

Actually it looks like he drew Little Boy but disproportionally. Little Boy had those things sticking out and a blunt front, Fat Man had a smooth casing and a rounded front.

Either way, both of those were fission bombs and not hydrogen bombs Ramirez you retarded motherfucker.

To be generous with Hackirez, it's very likely that the Nork bomb was a Little Boy-style fission bomb with was just labeled "hydrogen bomb" to provide Dear Leader Kim with the illusion that his penis is bigger than it actually is.

THe art is horrible, and the message is a Glenn McCoy level of stupid, but I like the visual of the government having a machinegun-rocket-giant-bullet-drone gun. In the hands of a real cartoonist it'd be pretty neat to see it as a representation of our stupidly overblown war budget.

It's light. Handle's adjustable for easy carrying, good for righties and lefties. Breaks down into four parts, undetectable by x-ray, ideal for quick, discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger, three thousand round clip with bursts of three to three hundred, and with the Replay button - another Zorg invention - it's even easier.

There was a whole bunch of compromises where neither side was happy about it, yeah.

I like the idea that they just put in rules for how to change it later so they could all go home. Probably not exactly how it happened but hey :v:

The obsession with glorifying the founding of the country always confused me so much. It's like people got so hopped up on the ridiculous oversimplifications shown to them as six-year-olds that they all but worship the founders without really knowing anything about them. As if these were divine decrees rather than just old government documents with all the pointless bickering that implies.

Even the movie 1776, which was a rara America patriotic bicentennial piece, showed how imperfect and contentious everything was at the founding of the country. Surely everyone has watched Mr. Feeny sing about how much compromise there was?

All you have to do is add the fact that the clown from the government is also from the year 200x, and even an rear end in a top hat like Edison would say "oh, makes sense, he's probably right... can I see it?"

Please explain to the class, constitutional expert Gary Varvel, how Obama is "adjusting" the 2nd Amendment. "He sucks" and "I don't like him" are not valid arguments.

Yeah I don't get the shrieking about second amendment rights infringement with the new executive orders. Nobody is having their guns taken away, and the only people having access to arms restricted are people that cannot pass a background check, who probably shouldn't have unfettered access to guns in the first place.

I could have sworn they were all from the same pen due to the similarly smugtastic yet so easily refutable punchlines. "Yes ma'm, please introduce me to this man who apparently supports my decision to not stand, because otherwise risking his life for it would have been very, very stupid. Not that I really understand how him getting wounded at Grenada or wherever helps my rights, but I guess I'm glad he did it anyway."

Same. It sounds...reasonable, except for the fact that it can't be passed in a proper way because of gun lobbies and racism.
