This is the same guy who did the "Mr. Edison there's a big dumb government poophead here to pee on your wonderful wonderful lightbulb" cartoon, right?

The hell's up with his representation of Mexico.

Guess it's better than drawing him in a poncho and sombrero.

Not only did Obama not overuse executive orders, Trump willingly associating with something called "White Out" would be a public relations nightmare.

"The warmth of life has entered my tomb!"

I work IT and I get to see most of the hiring that goes on and the majority of full employee hires are in their late 40's to early 60's. Most of the Gen-Xers and Millennials that get hired are brought in as temps and contractors. There is a big problem, especially in more established companies, where instead of training and grooming talent they just head hunt it from other companies. This has created this really interesting problem where companies will be unable to fill most if not all of the management and skilled+experienced labor positions once they run out of Babyboomers to snipe. The last 20-30 years (basically since Reagan) have wreak absolute havoc on the labor market. It seems like every day I read a new article about how screwed the labor market is thanks to the endless obsession with short term profits over long term growth.

To the next generation Twitter really will be seen as synonymous with Trump, won't it? And maybe to the end of America as a superpower.

Don't worry! The millennials will get the blame for not working hard enough. Not that I give a poo poo as a Gen X'er, I just think it's funny to see the generation with the short end of the capitalist stick getting the most poo poo.

I live near Decatur, AL and I'm pretty sure I've seen some of this artist's work before (or someone with a similar style). Maybe my grandmother's got some stuff like this saved up as well. My grandpa liked political cartoons and the like and collected some bits and pieces here and there.

I mean if it were drawn incorrectly then one of the arms could be the "7" in a simpler way than it's done in the cartoon.

And then it wouldn't be a Nazi symbol, thus rendering the entire cartoon meaningless.

He's saying that if you inverted the swastika the 7 could just be one of the arms of the swastika instead of a weird offshoot. Which wouldn't really work, because, again, the swastika would be inverted.

EDIT: Should probably refresh before posting.

They did fund a lot of anti-EU parties all over the EU; but I'm not aware of anything as blatant as for the US elections where they've done everything they could to sabotage Clinton's campaign.

Capitol: A building or complex of buildings in which any legislature meets.
Capital: A city designated as a legislative seat by the government or some other authority, often the city in which the government is located; otherwise the most important city within a country or a subdivision of it.

That's kinda what being on the short end means/does. You're the one who gets pushed around so you're the one who's made to do all the unpleasant stuff and then take all the blame because you can't fight back.

Sure, it's been in the news for years. They fund many far-right parties / populist parties that naturally are critical of the EU, they deliberately spread fake news that negatively influence the public's opinion of their governments and there have been hackings that have been traced back to Russia. 2015 hacking of the German bundestag was a big one. Germany I hear fears/expects Russia to try to influence their 2017 federal elections through their usual means.
