You tell me I didn't build that?

I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.
I would put Trump under the tank but I don't have the time or the skill to rewrite all of those labels into things that make sense, or put a dude with a sword on top of the tank. And you'd have to redo the side of the treads and uggh
I don't know how you edit people do it sometimes. Just thinking about what I'd have to do is too much work.

The KKK and scary black dancers in the same fear-mongering cartoon. Gotta love it.

I'm pretty sure the black dancers aren't supposed to be scary. It's a comment about how the US is pretending to have the moral high ground while treating black people poorly and appropriating their culture (like with the Jitterbug or rock music).

It turns out the artist (Harald Damsleth) made a series of propaganda postcards, most of which I haven't seen before:

"The Liberation":


"New spring fashions 1943":


A reference to the Comedian Harmonists:


"The burdens of war are a heavy load":


A parody of Picasso, seems like:

Placard: I cannot describe to you what blessings the invasion will bring in a better fashion"
Redheaded troll: "I would have preferred it a bit more rosy".

Considering the Nazis believed the proliferation of the Jitterbug was symptomatic of the decline of European values during the 1920s (and also something something EVIL JEWISH CONSPIRACY something something)... yeah, no.

The comic is probably more along the lines of the Americans aren't bringing liberation, they are bringing death and what a fascist sees as moral decay.

Yeah, Obama's administration has let in 10,000 Syrian refugees and Hillary supports policy that would let in a total of 65,000.

They were scrolling through his now-deleted Twitter account, and one of the posts was a retweet of Pepe le Garrison's "Trump=Samson" cartoon. drat if he just doesn't know how to gravitate to all the world's winners.

A DRAGON POKEMAN
well technically a water/flying type

Since I assume there's at least one person here that likes to gaze into the darkness long enough for it to gaze back, Ben finally got around to writing his thoughts on things, and here they are:

Garrison posted:

The Clintons are perhaps the most corrupt political family in American history. The Bushes may be second, but even they maintained a certain decorum in the White House. Neither Bush president would think of cussing out a secret service man or angrily hurl a White House antique at a spouse. The Clintons are at heart common grifters. They’re lying, vulgar confidence tricksters who continue to enjoy pushing the criminal envelope because they’re used to getting away with their crimes. Both should be in prison. Right now.

They get away with their sordid deeds because they have the backing of powerful figures such as Soros and the Rothschilds. The mainstream media are owned by a handful of big corporations, which back Hillary. The central bankers back Hillary. Some of the most leading and influential companies such as Google and Amazon back Hillary. Yahoo backs Hillary. Monsanto backs Hillary. Twitter backs Hillary. Zuckerberg is hedging his bets, but another Facebook founder gave $20 million to Hillary. The Saudis back Hillary and have also given her many millions of dollars. Saudi Arabia is a country that chops off heads, throws gays off buildings and are incredibly abusive towards women. Hillary welcomes their support and money. I can almost hear her say, “Ya know, it’s all about the dough—what difference does it make where it comes from?”

In short, the elite back Hillary. Most of them want globalism and open borders for America. They want endless immigration—especially Muslim immigration. Many will not integrate because their religion demands Sharia Law above all other systems. They won’t want to follow our Constitution. Soros knows this. He wants to promote division and strife to bring down our society to help usher in globalism—with his ilk running the show, of course.

The 10th of 1 percent at the top of the pyramid helps allow The Clinton Machine to continue chugging’ along and doing what it does–breaking the law as a matter of course. Hillary knows she is above the law. Anyone can see the contempt she has for us all—it’s in her eyes. That’s why very few attend her pathetic rallies. Most people know it’s all fake. She’ll say whatever it takes to get elected and then she’ll carry out what she and the elite want.

It may be hard to imagine, but she will be even worse than Obama. There will be more opacity and abuse aimed at truth tellers and whistleblowers. There will be more police state encroachment on citizens. More false flags to get us to turn in our guns. Worst of all, more war. Hillary loves war.

Standing up against The Clinton Machine is Donald Trump. He’s a flawed human being like the rest of us, but at this juncture in history he’s the only one capable of standing up to the Clinton Machine. He gave up his risk-free, lavish lifestyle to take them on. He’s had to face assassination threats as well as a parade of insults and false accusations. Why would he subject himself to the Clinton meat grinder? Because he really does want to make America great again. Right now, he’s the only one who can stand up against The Clinton Machine.

We need to stand up for Trump.

The One True Oden

For some reason I assumed that "third runway at Heathrow" was some sort of metaphor, not literally a runway at an airport.

It seems very strange for the expansion of an airport to be a matter of national politics, but I guess it just goes to show the size difference between the US and UK.
