"Berniebros loathe Keith Ellison" is a new one on me honestly

Last I checked, "Berniebros" were having heart palpitations at the thought of Keith Ellison not becoming DNC chair. What are you basing this on?

Yeah, all the not-rear end in a top hat leftists and a good amount of the assholes I've seen on Twitter and other places are all for Ellison, in part because of Bernie, who is supporting his run for chair. It's the "normal" Democrats who I've seen the most hate for him from.

It's super weird to assume that any given person has never had someone they care about pass away (unless he's trying to say that whoever he could be criticizing doesn't care about anyone). It is even stranger that this cartoon about 2017 predictions is dated 1-14.

Unless 14 specifies today for some reason, but who in the US would think that?

After looking at the others, I guess it is the day. That's what I get for going to college I guess.

How the heck did he come out ahead now that virtually everyone who isn't in his cult now knows he's a Russian puppet? Do you mean "not being impeached"? Cause that was kind of expected.

That's actually a very common way for daily comics to date their strips. The year is in the copyright text.

Assuming he means "$7,000 per year," yes, it's quite doable if you don't meet the financial requirements for aid. In fact, the deductibles are even worse.

Are they not usually dated by the date they are printed, or when they are drawn? I figured it should be dated for tomorrow but who knows with the internet and all.

They're dated for the day they're intended to be printed. It's been that way since I can remember. Here's a bunch of random newspaper comics for Christmas day.

New Tinsley strips go up at midnight, so the 1-14 date is correct. I have no idea if the artist or an editor adds the date though. This IS the guy who regularly forgets Veterans Day.

This guy is one of my favorites - i actually bother to have him bookmarked - and his political-wait-not-political toons are okay (see his BLM burning houses metaphor series) but this one DONE RANKLED ME because here he is, a comedian, and jestmaker, a literal 'toonist, telling people that if they actually want to affect change, they need to stop calling Trump names, and/or making fun of him. At the basest level, it's asking you to take Trump seriously.

He wants YOU to do this.

Meanwhile, he's humping over to San Antonio at the end of the month to sling his Candle Cove "ain't eldricth horror swell when it's juxtaposed with sweet minimalist cartoony art" books, he's still getting to wet his beak ever so slightly in public discourse when it pleases him and he himself is excused from loving doing whatever he thinks everyone else should be doing.

So nut up, Straub. What are YOU doing to stem the tide of terror to come in the next eight years? Drawing more (admittedly funny) bullshit?

How about you lead by example.

Originally I did a weekly dump of evangelical cartoons every Sunday, and Ford was part of it. However, the cartoons began to dry up and people honestly got sick of it so I stopped. Ford stuck around, however. He was more hilarious when his cartoons were an Oatmeal for rear end in a top hat Christians but lately he's been trying his own style and the result is kinda boring.

His stuff is still political and, while he's not in newspapers, his Patreon is like the top five or ten among webcomics.

Wasn't the early anger about Bush mostly a consequence of the absurdly close election (decided by less than a thousand votes), in which he lost the popular vote while winning for the first time in over a hundred years?

No, the anger about Bush was because the Supreme Court stopped the second recount when it looked like Bush was going to lose it. The vote was 5-4, with all five justices who voted to stop the election having been appointed by Republican presidents (Rehnquist by Nixon, the other four by Reagan or Bush Sr).

Even if an insurance company does offer that, it's their fault because the insurance companies are still private entities.
