Duh, everything's ok and justifiable if the rightwing does it and awful and terrible if the "leftwing" (democrats) do it. Have you not been paying attention to politics for your entire lifespan or something?

The real kicker, is more often than not, you have democrats falling in line with this kind of thinking too. Not only are we spineless, but we're also very quick to jump down our own throats while republicans just laugh and still somehow win elections.

Biggest or Fastest 180, for cartoonists who thought one thing under Obama but have completely reversed their tone now that it's Trump.

Might have some overlap with doublethink but I'm thinking total flips of opinion more than opinions held in defiance of facts.

Golfing legend Tiger Woods was found in his car, obviously impaired. But when he cooperated with police and took two Breathalizer tests, he verified his statement that he was not drunk but had been unwittingly impaired by pain killers he was taking for sports injuries. Yet the media failed to report that, preferring the “destroy your idols” approach to celebrities who appear to have messed up. Is Woods addicted to those medicines? It will be hard to discuss that after the ridiculous way the media chose to cover this story.

Half the year has already passed and I'll soon be making this year's Gay Abortions Mid-Term Repository so that ya'll can get some cartoons set aside for the end of the year. I will be using the standard general categories of
  • Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy
  • Worst Obituary Cartoon
  • Worst Caricature
  • Worst "A Thing Happened" Cartoon
  • Worst Cartoon about a Movie
  • Worst Label
  • Least Concealed Bigotry (Racism) in a Cartoon
  • Least Concealed Bigotry (LGBT) in a Cartoon
  • Laziest Non-Gorrell Cartoon
  • Most Easily Reinterpreted
  • Overall Worst Political Cartoon
  • Best Edit/Parody


I am also thinking of splitting Least Concealed Bigotry up yet again and adding Least Concealed Bigotry (Islamophobia) to take them out of Least Concealed Bigotry (Racism)

Is there any specific categories or general changes anyone would like to suggest? I'll be busy through the weekend but try to have the thread up by Sunday or Monday.

I'd like to see "conservative cartoon that doesn't use hypocrisy or deliberate stupidity", just to see if we can find any that qualify.

20 year old book now relevant again because emails was getting old. Prisoners did housework in Georgia Gov. Mansion.

A thing is going around Twitter where somebody (a BLM activist IIRC) found an excerpt from Hillary's book talking about how while she was First Lady of Arkansas the Governor's Mansion used unpaid prisoner labor as domestic servants. This is an explicit exception to the Thirteenth Amendment, meaning that it is essentially legal slavery. In the book she doesn't apparently see anything wrong with this arrangement and talks about the prisoners in a really creepy way, as though they are clever animals.

As far as I know the Right hasn't latched onto this meme yet because they love exploiting prisoners for slave labor and don't want to suggest that we shouldn't be doing this, but it's a thing that can distract from Trump's whole circus so I'm sure they will eventually.

e: here's the original tweet, for context

And she goes out of her way to mention that if any of them broke any rules, she and Bill quickly reported them so they'd get hauled back to prison.

Yeah, like stated, prison labor is literally legal slavery, so Hillary benefiting from it and not seeing problems from it is pretty hosed up, even if she's far from the only person to do so.

That said, I doubt it will become a big thing unless she does try to run again in 2020. Then it'll get used against her in the primaries. And the general if she somehow makes it to them, though I would not expect that.

lol if you think anyone will care

this is a country where Joe Arpaio and David Clarke are celebrated. Any criticism of prisoner treatment will get met with "well maybe they shouldn't have committed crimes them" by the majority of voters.

Yeah while the right loves bashing Hillary for literally any reason, dubious treatment of prisoners is definitely not something they should be objecting to. The only people I can see really caring about this are leftists on the internet that want Hillary to vanish into the wilderness forever.
