I've never heard anyone that wasn't a rightwing shill or a bad comedian talk about bureaucracy though. I've never encountered or heard anything resembling an overabundance of bureaucracy outside of the the republicans doing it on purpose to either keep minorities from voting or just turning people against big government on principle.

Yeah, that's the problem with believing in every conspiracy theory all at once, your brain starts to tear itself apart after a while.

The thing is there are absolutely bad, unnecessarily onerous, poorly crafted, etc regulations (not a lot here and now after decades to carving away at basic government functions, but they are there). The thing is these are specific bureaucratic things. They involve details, and minutiae, and have specific names and effect specific people or issues or areas. Railing against "bureaucracy" makes as much sense as railing against "government". Which I only- oh wait nevermind

Tinsley couldn't put a citation asterisk on this one because he couldn't bring himself to cite The Daily loving Mail That article has been pretty thoroughly debunked, btw.

It's also kinda funny to see on a day where Sessions recuses himself and Pence is revealed to have BUT EMAILS that Tinsley is worried about the NOAA. I'd say the two-week delay is killing him, but it's not like he would've addressed the scandal avalanche anyway.

I liked the Ted Rall one. Oh wait, I didn't. It was as usual drawn like rear end and everyone knows he's creepy scum. The one time I had to take communal showers men went first and then women. The next day it switched and so forth.

Turns out Tinsley missed the posted notices and wasn't supposed to be there, but everyone was too polite to say anything.

Ben posted:Here’s my reasoning behind my latest cartoon: Let’s start with the climate change hoax, er horse. I showed Al “Pay Me" Gore on a politically correct rocking horse because climate change is not the catastrophic event they claim it to be. Al Gore predicted the ice cap would be melted by 2015. Nope, still there. Climate change is about globalism and collectivism. It’s also about fear. They want to distract us from other more pressing issues such as losing our liberty. Besides, pay a scientist enough money and reward him with acclaim and peer approval and he will produce the required data to confirm any agenda. Sure, the climate changes, but they leave out one important factor in their data: The sun. They’d rather blame man for breathing and make him pay a carbon tax for the guilt of soiling the elite’s property: “Their” Earth.

Taerkar posted:Hitler and the Holocaust were a Jewish conspiracy to get them Israel. This makes me sad because I'm sure many people have seriously made this statement. Easy Salmon Recipe posted:It's because the sludge pouring out of factories is a real thing that they can see, with a clear responsible party they can fight against. This is 100% accurate for angry kooky uncle type guys. But Dees seems to be full on mental health problems. Unfortunately his crazy has helped fuel hatred. One of his early Trump images made some news waves during the election. It became a meme and I think the Trump campaign used a version of it with the Stars of David removed, then they "realized" it's antisemitic origin. Certainly not a warning sign at all.

Xander77 posted:Yeah, railing against a nebulous "bureaucracy" is absolutely an American Republican invention. Communist states (for instance) never had mass-scale campaigns to "destroy bureaucracy". What about Mao's Three-Anti Campaign (anti-corruption, anti-waste, anti-bureaucracy) in 1951? Or Khrushchev's introduction of the Sovnarkhoz in 1957?

Also it seems relevant to bring it up but apparently even McMaster, Trump's appointed National Security Adviser, says "radical Islamic terrorism" is an inaccurate and unhelpful term. Yet people like Garrison still cling to it desperately like it's the three magic words that'll solve everything.

I'm looking for a nearly 30 year old political cartoon (1989), and I figured someone in here might be able to help. It's about the USSR pulling out of Afghanistan. The Soviet dude has his arm shoulder-deep into something, like a person or an an animal or something, and the caption is "ok, now pull out." My google-fu has failed me. Although, it did turn up this old gem from Horsey:
