Yes, Mike, the missus can get stitches from the ER whenever you punch her in the face, but it's not like she can get chemo there.

I do, it's a symptom of him writing everyone like himself. He only rarely uses actual quotes, and combined with his awful caricatures it makes his cartoons much harder to parse than they need to be.

Even with the Trump's latest scandal being labeled, pre-hooked, and trapped in a fishbowl, the Dems are powerless to do anything about it. An unlikely Varvel cartoon.

Is this supposed to be pro or anti Trump?

Very often Rall is no different.

Never forget that Rall made "Trump doesn't seem so bad" comics, he's an idiot and indifferent to the suffering of others as long as his ego is getting stroked.

Lurdiak: Feb 26, 2006; I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

I feel like every single british cartoon for the past couple of weeks has been the exact same one where Corbyn looks confused and communist and everyone else looks mean and about to kill him but no jokes or statements are actually made.

Baka-nin: Jan 25, 2015

That's because since Corbyn was elected that's been the standard anti Labour talking point. The only change was during the leadership elections where Corbyn was depicted as a control freak attacking anyone not a sycophant. With the exception of the Morning Star, Guardian and Mirror virtually every other newspaper is controlled by right wing billionaires with connections to the Tory party.

Liberty U. invited Bernie Sanders to speak in September 2015, gotta give credit it's due

I wouldn't classify Bernie Sanders as the left's version of Milo or Ann Coulter though, which is where these campus demonstrations come into play.

Yeah if you really want a Leftist equivalent to Milo you'd need to dig up someone from Earth Liberation Front, and if there's a college out there that thinks a little arson against a few SUVs is just the price to pay for the free and open exchange of all ideas I haven't heard of it

The ALF is still pretty violent and prolific. Universities and researchers tend to not publicize attacks, infiltrations, or bombings, though.
