Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

Not to mention who is saying that internet privacy is two words? Is it the computer? The spambot goblin? Uncle Sam? The cartoonist as narrator?

My honest best guess is that "gently caress you" is also two words. I doubt that's what it is though, very strange to find a cartoon so unparsable.

My god did these actually appear in a newspaper? That art is appalling, looks like something an 8 year old cooked up on a tablet.

As for the message, I do like the first one. It's interesting how enormous of a failure in messaging the European program (both Eurozone and EU) have been when in fact they have contributed enormously to an age of peace and prosperity in Europe. The idea that the authoritarians are crude disgusting strongmen trying to have their way with the EU is I assume what they're getting at there.

The second one is just plain horrible in every way

Kimberly Strassel has an idea of what could be worse than Russian interference. In her WSJ column she says the bombshell news story of the week was drowned out by the uproar created by California Rep Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. Schiff is outraged that Committee Chairman Devin Nunes violated protocol by viewing classified documents at the White House, and briefing Trump rather than sharing with the committee.

The real news is what’s in the documents.

quote:

First, there were dozens of documents with information about Trump officials. Second, the information these documents contained was not related to Russia. Third, while many reports did “mask” identities (referring, for instance, to “U.S. Person 1 or 2”) they were written in ways that made clear which Trump officials were being discussed. Fourth, in at least one instance, a Trump official other than Mr. Flynn was outright unmasked. Finally, these documents were circulated at the highest levels of government.

To sum up, Team Obama was spying broadly on the incoming administration.

I'm not that great at U.S. senator recognition when they're reduced to Ramirez's bug-splat-on-windshield style but I'm assuming that's Chuck Schumer that is made of metal and devoured and obstructing the bowels of Justice, while also been separately X-rayed to show a metal peanut for a brain?

Ramirez is old enough and has a terrible enough diet that he thinks that the perfect, his-readers-will-get-it metaphor for "obstruction of a positive process" is "bowel obstruction."

After that it's just a matter of applying two different names to the x-ray twice each, throwing in a joke about how the Chuck Schumer patient (whoever that is) has a tiny brain, and throwing in four arrows to make sure his aging white male audience (who probably all have lovely diets) understand what he's getting at.

Yeah, what was the justification Republicans used for blocking Obama from appointing anyone in 2016? "Obama has no mandate, let the American people decide." Well the election came and went and our stupid anti-democratic electoral system allowed the guy who came in #2 in the popular vote to win the election, effectively giving us a president with no popular mandate, and now all the sudden, Republicans don't give a poo poo about the will of the people (they never did).

But you hate women and gay people. And so does almost every single person who justifies their Islamaphobia with "they're throwing gay people off buildings!", it seems.
Seriously, this might be the biggest ongoing trend of concern-trolling I've ever loving seen. The same people who constantly insult, attack, and demean various minority groups will then point out how patriotic we are as a country for supporting them when those SAVAGES in the Middle East attack them. Tinsley hates people who are gay, black, transgender, or female, but when the Middle East comes up he's running around bragging like he's always been their best ally. gently caress you, Tinsley. Weren't you super vocal against gay marriage? So yeah, trumpet on about how you think gay people have rights when you were fighting those rights every step of the way.

I used to think Tinsley was bland but these days he's easily one of my most hated artists. What an absolute piece of poo poo.

It's like what Trump said in that convention speech. He's going to protect the LGBT...Q community against a hateful foreign ideology. He's cool with the domestic hateful ideology.
