Samurai Sanders posted:Even if someone is all in on tribalism they still have the concept of the traitor right? What would it take for Trump to activate it and turn love into the strongest hate in the blink of an eye? Not valuing party over country. Trump sold out America, but not the Republican party, aka REAL America.

drat hypocrite. Wasn't it just a few years ago when Ramirez's ilk were blistering about Our Brave Intelligence Community because it was "under attack" by Obama (rhetorical question; I think I already know the answer)? It never ceases to amaze me how easily these people turn from their supposedly deeply held convictions on a dime.

Samurai Sanders posted:Is my mind just completely in the gutter for interpreting this as that he buttfucked all of them, men and women? I'm not familiar with other things having the back of your pants violently torn off could symbolize. That was also my first thought, but I think he was going for an image of Trump "beating the pants off" the media; in other words, defeating them very thoroughly. ...I'm disturbed I couldn't find any other replies giving this explanation. Call me the Branco-whisperer, I guess.

If you wanted a successful business then you definitely should not have looked towards Trump.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:drat hypocrite. Wasn't it just a few years ago when Ramirez's ilk were blistering about Our Brave Intelligence Community because it was "under attack" by Obama (rhetorical question; I think I already know the answer)? It's a weird nitpick for an already dumb cartoon, but the intelligence community was reporting that there were deep structural weaknesses in the Soviet Union well before it collapsed, and that the economic and political compromises Perestroika required were more likely to blow up in Gorbachev's face than actually save the Soviet economy. https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/20080229.pdf (Brookings Institution article hosted on the CIA's FOIA site, so YMMV): quote:For example, in July 1977, the CIA reported the following: quote:In April 1991 the Office of Soviet Analysis (SOVA), the office within the Directorate of Intelligence that followed developments in the USSR, told U.S. leaders explicitly that the Soviet Union was in a state of crisis, offered a poor prognosis, and spelled out specific scenarios in which the regime could implode. In a memo titled, ‘‘The Soviet Cauldron,’’ SOVA’s director wrote, quote:Gates believes he gave Bush warning because the CIA had previously established the prerequisite conditions for there to be a coup, and he says that the President’s daily briefing for 17 August indicated that those conditions were present. Bush wanted to know whether any specific datum indicated what might happen or when, but Gates had no such specific datum. (I use the CIA website as part of my job, please don't black helicopter me Secret Service duders reading this)

I think it's just "the press got their rear end chewed by Trump". It also reminds of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2Rhxok-h80 ..which is the most agreeable thought a Branco cartoon has ever produced for me.

The way it's laid out, it looks like someone in the White House is complaining about Trump while a reporter outside shrugs in resignation.

I appreciate that the editorial cartoonist community is almost universally dunking on Trump's far too long ties, tied so in an attempt to hide his grotesque body.

Pretty sure the CIA actually warned that 9/11 was in the offing at least twice before it happened. But if you like the taste of Republican dick, Ramirez, who am I to tell you to stop sucking it?

But if you like the taste of Republican dick, Ramirez, who am I to tell you to stop sucking it? Also, there were warnings that the Japanese were aggressively setting up spy rings in the US, but you can't just attack the Japanese by saying "they were totally gonna do it." The Tet Offensive happened yeah, but so did The Battle of the Bulge and Kasserine. Militaries tend to take the element of surprise very seriously before performing operations as it's the difference between Barbarossa and Kursk. I just got over reading a book entirely about how American intelligence predicted almost to the month the collapse of the Soviet Union years ahead of time because it was something we were working towards for forty years so that's something he pulled out of his rear end. On the flip side if an American politician were to be compromised under the Logan Act of conferring with the Japanese in a similar manner, I wonder what the general public reaction would be to it besides "the depression's still going on and I'm hungry."
