Did he recycle this toon? Because he erased the last digit of the year and forgot to fill it back in.

Generally the signature and copyright info is a separate image they paste in. He probably forgot to save a template with the new year, and keeps deleting the 6 and putting in a 7 but forgot the latter because two Pulitzers.

You may remember, but for a while recently Latuff colored on a slightly-opaque layer over the linework with a large round brush and it looked really crude. I barely recall someone on twitter asking him about it and his response was basically "kiss my rear end"

here's an example, of exemplary latuffness

Honestly watercolor markers are a step up from that, in my opinion.

Latuff is even worse at making distinctions between different American politicians than Ted Rall. As far as he's concerned they're all the same dude.

ABE: The ball is too big, and the hole is too small.

ABE: The ball and hole are different?
TRUMP: That's right! America first.

To defend Latuff, he does make his cartoons with the expectation that they'll end up on protest signs, and that's not exactly where one goes for subtlety.

It is apparently where one goes for antisemitism, if that's his excuse.

Right now most countries, including the US, have their embassies based in Tel Aviv. Netanyahu and his Likud Party have been trying to get the international community to recognize Jerusalem as the diplomatic capital of Israel, and it looks like Trump is going to jump on it, which is a slap to the face of Palestinians since it goes against the 1949 treaty.

Dear Trump,

I can solve your problem.

the mistake you made was lack of automatization. Instead of signing a single EO, you should have made a computer program to generate a million of almost identical EO's banning Moose Lambs and digitally sign these. The 9th Circuit had to replicate a similar process or need 14 million days to declare them all null.

Your friendo.

The US being allowed to do whatever the gently caress it wants under a veneer of legalism has always been a mainstay of right-wingers. When the Iraq war was getting started, one person said it was justified 'because of the Monroe Doctrine'.

I think the comic artist intention was:

"Judges "overreach" by giving foreigners protection from usa law is bad because they are not usa citizens"

"Judges are on a tripping power run"

"Only Trump should have this level of superpowers".

The point of the cartoon is that the judges are giving due process to non-us citizens, who are not protected under the constitution. It's the lovely argument used to justify the ban.
