That Watchman spoof was pretty great. When the world is scorched earth from the bomb, we'll all say we should have saw it coming.

I mean sure, HRC is not really a national figure right now, and there are other serious people working to make a difference that you could comment on, and Trump has proven to be an abject failure at everything he's touched but have you considered that... They are both equally bad???

Some of you may have noticed the very occasional weird foreign cartoons posted by the couple of Taiwan goons in this thread, including myself. There haven't exactly been a ton of funny ones lately, since they mostly have to do with simple metaphors about arcane pension reform poo poo, but one of our local guys finally got around to caricaturing Trump recently:

C'mon Luckovich, you're too good for the "deporting undocumented immigrants is bad, not because it's inherently wrong, but because we need to exploit their cheap labor" take.

Why does the mallard change from green to black and back again every few comics? Is the green duck just being followed around by a black duck that dresses like him but does all of his manual labor for him? And I just realized what I typed. Oh lord is that what the explanation actually is?

His equally weird obsession with Rush Limbaugh. And the weird strawman conservative minority (who as far as I know never had an expressed ethnicity other than "asian") who thought it was totally worth it to get divorced after naming his child after Rush Limbaugh. I think you might be confusing Mallard with Swillmore though (not very hard to do). I could only find two actual strips about Buckley. It would require, like, actually being able to read to be obsessed with him. I also haven't found any strips that actually depict Rush himself.

I've seen mallards before, but I've never seen one who's head went from green to pitch black, and considering how much he seems to want to use the N-word, I wouldn't put it past him to have a second duck following his character around.

Searching for average price for apples in the US gives $1.31 per pound in 2016. If they would truly cost nearly 50 times as much without undocumented immigrants, surely this implies that said immigrants are actually quite wealthy people who subsidise the fruit by paying dearly for the privilege of harvesting them.

When people supposedly on the side of immigrants say "without illegals our fruit would be so expensive  " my thought isn't that we need to keep using them for cheap labor it's wow we really pay the pickers way too little money which is criminal.

I'm willing to be generous and say that the point of the comic is supposed to be that the working class people who hate immigrants for "taking jobs" are loving themselves over and solving nothing in the long run by supporting mass deportation as a magic bullet.

Somfin posted:Drop those two words and you've got it nailed. They're not paying money. Still, them paying over $60 worth of either money or labour per pound seems like an awful lot. I suspect $4-5 per pound at most is more likely if the pickers were paid a living wage, but that wouldn't have quite the same impact. Or possibly the cartoon depicts some kind of post-apocalyptic scenario where agricultural productivity has plummeted due to ecological deteroriation and produce is an expensive luxury.

I would add that the "prices going up" argument is an attempt to find a message that appeals to the "working class people" since appeals to basic human decency clearly are falling on deaf ears.

Agreed. It's less preaching to the choir and more trying to get through some thick skulls. Considering for some people they don't care if immigrants are deported or worked to the death for pennies, they just care about themselves.

I read that Luckovich cartoon more in reference to the fact that Trump has prepared to pull us out of NAFTA which will ruin prices on a lot of imported fruits and vegetables.

The United States government posted:The EBT card can’t be used to buy hot food or anything meant to be eaten on the premises. This leaves out restaurant meals and those hot, ready-to-eat chicken dinners at the supermarket deli. You also can’t buy paper products, diapers, vitamins, beer, cigarettes or lottery tickets with your EBT card. So, yeah, it goes without saying: no jeans. Why it's almost like Mike Lester is a wife-beating jerk who can't bother to educate himself on anything and instead relies on blaring on the dogwhistle until his cheeks are as puffy as his fat loving gut!

This is so dumb. Why did he label the wrecking ball? Why do conservatives/lolbertarians think that cuts to corporate taxes will magically fix things instead of just funneling the money to the top? Either they are dumb or they want that to happen.

So we're doing inhuman skintones to dehumanize people again? Neat.  I hope Mike Lester's wife finally snaps and murders him, and I hope she botches it enough that he suffers.

Yeah, it's food only, so you can't even buy toilet paper, soap, or deodorant. Of course the people who hate people on EBT cards don't give a poo poo because they totally saw them buy a grocery cart full of chips and sodas with an EBT card. Basically those kind of people won't be satisfied until poors are rounded up and force fed gruel for all their meals.

Iron Crowned posted:Yeah, it's food only, so you can't even buy toilet paper, soap, or deodorant. Sometimes people on EBT cards buy indulgent poo poo precisely *because* they need money for things like toilet paper and soap and diapers. They sell them to their neighbors for cash. So if you see a poor person with a trolley full of ramen, lunch meat and white bread, along with two lobsters and a birthday cake, they aren't necessarily idiots, but buying the fancy stuff for a neighbor in exchange for cash for essentials not covered by EBT.
