Why are girls so mean to each other?
Really, Zelda?That old cliche? Who is systematically oppressing women? It sure as hell isn't "mean girls"!
That's precisely the aggressive "us against them" rhetoric that keeps scaring people away from feminism!
So we should close our eyes for the facts? We all know which gender that rules the world!
Revolution!
Hello, there's more than two genders! You all need to analyze this!

Uhuhuhu, do you have to be so angry?

I guess it's the artist of that comic above (which I rather like) but I dunno if I have seen her work before today. I guess she writes other comics that are awful or something?

Actually, I was mixing it up with Richard Spencer at Auburn, lol. Though her supporters did file a lawsuit, which is what led the University to un-cancel the event.

Calling for ethnic cleansing might mean that you won't get into heaven though, so you have to be willing to take one for the team.

Hey here's a brief trip back to...

Since Trump staggered past his first 100 days, I decided to check out the cartoons for Obama. Now, since we had other things to distract cartoonists (namely Swine Flu) there wasn't much here.

1
First let's check off the prerequisite MEDIAAAAAAA cartoon.

2
Ah yes, the DEBT cartoon. Can't forget that.

3
The GDP was down about 6% in the first quarter, although given the state of the economy at the time, this isn't terribly surprising.

4
Obama will enslave your pure, white children.

5
I guess it took Cole a while to turn around on Obama or something. Or maybe he's a really milquetoast liberal.

6
I need a very depressed ironicat for this one.

7
Catalino has not improved in eight years

8
Obama had a full plate his first 100 days. Among lefties of varying lean, there will always been endless debate about how good he was vs. how good he could realistically be within our lovely, broken joke of a government. It certainly wasn't an easy job, either way.

Like, I said, not a lot of cartoons. Liberal ones were mostly GOP MAD, so I'll spare you those. But take these fun BONUS CARTOONS. Warning: may be less fun than advertised.

A
Obama dug into torture and released some memos. Cue a million cartoons about how patriotic and good ~~torture~~ enhanced interrogation is.

B
I believe this was several months prior to Palin's infamous "death panels" bullshit.

C
Miss California made a statement against gay marriage, and this made Perez Hilton, a judge, quite upset. If I remember, Hilton himself is kinda lovely for other reasons, but the lesser McCoy took the low road anyways.

2009 will return whenever the Trump presidency hits an event/tradition/situation/etc. that Obama similarly went through. So, probably the first State of the Union? We shall see.

I'm not sure which is more amazing: that people are trying to turn "anti-fascist" into a pejorative, or that it seems to be loving working.

No, they're turning "Antifa" into a pejorative. Which is easier, because if you don't know what Antifa is short for - or that it's short for something - it's the foreign-sounding name of a terror group that attacks people who are politely exercising their First Amendment rights. So says Fox News, thus it must be so.

Italian researchers says that the vaginal g-spot does not exist.
Good! Then we can put the myth that dull penetration sex is enough to induce fountain orgasms to rest!
But the g-spot is more sensitive and I do come with dull penetration sex....
That the clitoris nerves. The g-spot is a myth!
Santa Claus, the Loch Ness beast, Atlantis and now the g-spot...There's no mystery left in the world.

You who are feminist, could you explain why..
Nope! I have no interest in educating you. If you're interested in feminism google it.
But stop being so aggressive, you have to debate this!
Okay, then I demand to know what you think of Russia's pipelines in the Baltic Sea! Now!
Welfare? Surrogacy? Euthanasia? Taxes? The growing middleclass in China? Oil reserves in the Arctic? Refugees? Obamacare? MIley Cyrus? Debate it!
Come back! You owe me arguments you've been practiced for ten years so I can brush them off with stupid idiotic answers I just thought off!

Cole came across as a moderate Republican from about 2008 (when I first started reading him) until about 2010. He was one of the few Republicans who criticized the Tea Party, though, and as the GOP moved more right and became "The Party of NO", Cole started doing more pro-Obama cartoons (or at least "Obama is the only sane one" cartoons), and then slowly moved left to the point that by 2012 he was doing moderate Democratic cartoons.

It was fascinating to watch him slip over.
