Well remember how for eight years the Democrats consistently blocked the President from enacting any changes, even ones that would benefit everyone?

yeah, it's really telling that the Democrats are just opposing everythin when the Republicans were willing to reach across the aisle and work with the president.

Hell, during the 2012 Election Newt "I Shut Down the Government in the Mid-90s" Gingrich insisted that during the Clinton administration the Republicans worked hand-in-hand with him in the spirit of bipartisanship.

Edit: There was another Government shutdown by the Republicans in 2013 too, but nobody seemed to really care that the Republicans did that outside of the Republicans who complained during that period that Obama had shut down the Government.

So basically their solution to democrat obstruction is make literally everything an executive order. Was hoping Trump would actually have to be told no for once instead of acting like a CEO.

MCCONNELL: Well, let me just say, I’m confident we’ll get a Supreme Court nominees confirmed. I expect an outstanding nominee sometime soon. I think it’s noteworthy to look at how the Republican minority handled Bill Clinton the first — in his first administration. Both — both of his first two nominees, Ginsburg and Breyer, no filibuster. Obama, in his first term, to go, no filibuster. We think our nominee ought to be treated the same way. If he is not treated that way, then, under the current Senate rule, we would have to get cloture. That is, we’d have to get 60 votes. We had to do that when the Democrats objecting to Justice Alito 10 years ago, but cloture was invoked. Sorry for the long answer. I think the short answer is, the nominee will be confirmed.

All I'm saying is it's really telling that this guy looked at the march of women (which had plenty of male marchers, incidentally), specifically in response to an increasingly-misogynistic public discourse and government outlook, and in answer to specific upcoming legislation, and his first (and only) thought on the matter was "but what about MEN?"

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

Xander77 posted:

Mother. Fucker.

Unless I'm misreading this (and I sincerely doubt that I am) it's just "The swamp is drained. Trump promised to drain the swamp, and therefore the swamp is drained. Reality? Facts? gently caress you. gently caress you very much, we no longer have to engage with either of those, and can be more blatant than ever about it".

That's what the next four years are going to be all about.

It's the opposite, it's critical. The comic is saying that instead of actually draining the swamp of DC, all of the people that make up the swamp have moved to Foggy Bottom, a particularly wealthy section of DC where high-ranking federal employees often live, and where many major executive agencies (like the state department) are.

The labeling on the wall is confusing, as is the inside baseball reference to a DC neighborhood.

Who wants some Canadian toons?


1.



So, basically, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is betwixt a rock and a hard place. An open proud legislative feminist, supporter of gay rights, and guy who welcomed 35K syrian refugees, he has to buddy up to Trump because 80% of Canada's economy involves the US, so if we piss Cheeto Hitler, we kinda become third world over night.

2.

3.

So we got a leadership race for our Conservative Party. These two chucklefucks have divided Trump's strategy. Kevin O'Leary (Of Dragon's Den/Shark Tank fame) has taken the obnoxious reality tv show host who pretends to be good at business half, and Kellie Leitch has taken the outright racist shitheel post. I kinda wish one of them, or Brad Trost (Our hardright christian culture warrior) wins so that my job in 2019 is loving pointing to the states and going "See what happens?"


Also, note how all three have effective crosshatching, and good caricatures who do resemble the person, and also human beings in whole.

"Foggy Bottom" is shorthand for the State department, she's not referring to the literal neighborhood. Benson is justifying our lack of a functioning State department by grouping all the officials that Trump fired with the "swamp."

I wouldn't be so sure; Trudeau hasn't fixed every social ill in Canada yet 100% so the internet is firing up the "both sides are the same" machine. If the NDP comes out promising ponies and rainbows we'll get the magical split vote again. Trump is going to do everything in his power to make Trudeau look bad along the way as well.

On the flip side, I have a friends who are getting memberships in the Conservative party just to make sure these two asshats don't get in.

Oh and bonus possible hilarity: their leadership convention is sharing space with a 25,000+ attendee anime convention this year.
