Russian political cartoons! Putin: "I have so many great jokes!" Signs: "Laugh" and "Genuine laughter" Putin saying offensive hyper masculine poo poo in an interview  Tree is labeled NATO and the sign says Montenegro Russia is angry at Montenegro for joining NATO  I can't tell what the artist is saying. Trump is dumb or smart for pulling out of Paris?   Steven Seagal, who was granted Russian Citizenship by Putin himself, took advantage of a law called "far hectare" to get free land in Primorye.

With Putin sending assassins at every journalist who looks at him sideways, it must be riskier to be a Russian cartoonist than author of the "Funny Mohammed comedy hour" in Tehran.

Nah, political cartoonists tend to survive on the court jester principle. You're not a threat if no one takes you seriously, so you can say things other people can't. Plus I think the Kremlin is pretty sensitive about public perceptions and would rather maintain the semblance of a free press, if they can (it makes spreading propaganda so much easier). Exposing corruption and airing the regime's dirty laundry is incredibly dangerous, but calling Putin a poopy head is pretty safe.

So he's just going to keep trying to pretend Trump's so muscular he'll eventually look like a Rob Liefeld Cartoon as Trump just keeps getting fatter and his neck resembles more of a vagina? Why doesn't he support the actual real body of his favorite leader?

We get so mad when republicans do weird things we don't really understand that make them look disconnected from reality.

It's a burger without a Patty, just lettuce, cheese, onion, and so on. It looks like a regular burger until you bite it and realise there's nothing there.

I've been hearing it nonstop since about midway through the election and for good reason: everything that everyone thought would sink Trump went up in a puff of smoke. It's like everything I thought mattered in American politics was empty inside. edit: or I guess you could argue that it's all quietly festering behind the scenes to screw him over sometime in the future but I'm so disillusioned I'll believe it when I see it.

Replacing the lyrics of the Gaston song with Republican leaders is one of my favorite jokes, but I generally like it better with Paul Ryan than Donald Trump.

WSJ has an article about the origins of the phrase, but I don't have a WSJ subscription. Wikipedia posted:[Neil Gorsuch's mother, Anne] Gorsuch was promised another job by Reagan, and in July 1984, he appointed her to a three-year term as chair of the National Advisory Committee on Oceans and Atmosphere, a move which was criticized by environmental groups. She described the post as a "nothing-burger," and both the House and the Senate passed non-binding resolutions calling on President Reagan to withdraw the appointment. Ultimately, Gorsuch chose not to accept the position. OED added it to their dictionary in 2005. The current popularity might've come from Kurt Eichenwald writing early last year that "the “scandal” about Clinton using a personal email account when she was secretary of state—including the finding that a few documents on it were retroactively deemed classified—has been a big nothing-burger perpetuated for partisan purposes," but it's also been a popular phrase among reporters the past few years. Looks like Google Trends interest spiked mostly in March, when Ted Cruz called Jeff Sessions hiding meetings with Russian officials a nothing-burger.

For all the legitimate concerns many Republicans have about Trump and his incompetence, his ability to annihilate reality and facts is something the big players in the party will not let go without a fight.

This has been brewing for a while now. There is no one inside the GOP that is mourning the death of truth. It has given them what they've always wanted, to be able to completely control the narrative of any issue regardless of the facts say.

Rangpur posted:The great hope is that, come 2018 the stars will align and things will Matter again. But you will never see the Republicans who control both houses of Congress take action against Trump, absent the man showing up to the State of the Union address covered in blood. The fact that Pence would sign all the same bills with a lot less gently caress-ups is irrelevant, because Pence is not the totem of power that wards off the impending Socialist Muslim takeover. I'd like to believe this, but 2016 did more than just damage the American political system forever, it tore the mask off a lot of the American public. People I knew, love, and trusted, people who raised me to be tolerant and understanding and fair and all that other free-loving hippie poo poo, revealed themselves to be enormous bigoted hypocrites when they thought all that feel-good policy talk might actually impact their own lives, however slightly. My parents TODAY still tell me they don't see why the media is still making a big deal about Trump, he hasn't done anything wrong yet, why are you kids being so obnoxious about this? They didn't even vote for him, they voted for Jill Stein! It feels like a percentage of the moderate population got body snatched, and it's heartbreaking.

Yeah, one thing that's been particularly troubling to me is the number of people who seem to have bought into Trump's Muslim ban. I feel like even in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the idea of banning people from entering the country based on their religion would have been massively unpopular. But even putting aside the arguments about "well it's not REALLY a Muslim ban" (which is disingenuous as gently caress, we all know that a Muslim ban is what Trump and his supporters want and the travel visa is just a semi-legal way of partially accomplishing it, I haven't met a single person who's used that argument who didn't also think banning all Muslims from entering the country was a good idea), the sheer number of people who seem to accept the idea that Islam is incompatible with our society is just staggering. I grew up (mostly) in super conservative Bumfuck, Georgia and the history classes in my mostly-white schools instilled the idea that the people who opposed diversity and multiculturalism were always on the wrong side of history. I don't know where the gently caress people today got the idea that the modern equivalent of the Chinese Exclusion Act was a good idea and not something deeply shameful that should be left in the loving dark ages but here we are.
