Trump was revealed as a zionist puppet shortly after being elected. Someone hasn't been keeping on their Dees lore.

NO NO NO! Trump was a True Hero of the People before he was Kidnapped by the Zionist Lizardmen and Brainwashed with the Infernal Metronome and Implanted with false Memories! But he was Chosen by God/Angelic Force so he is Struggling with the Implantation. That's why his behavior is a little erratic. Sometimes his True Self comes out and he Saves us from the ZIONISTS and sometimes their Control defeats him! But he is Communicating with his TWEETS to True Followers in Code to avoid their CENSORS, he does this at Night when they Sleep and he regains some Control.

And my point, weighing on whoever posted "so much for the tolerant left" was that whoever involved with the making of this play decided during rehearsals that they didn't want cheers. That was a decision made by staff and/or production. Why exactly getting cheers from a cartoon depiction of murder is unacceptable? Why go for a more realistic depiction? Why is this so-called "sobering up" is so god drat loving important?

Because liberals are god drat loving wimps.

e: substituted wimps for pussies.

e2: because I'm so triggered; in the immortal words of that Dem from Nebraska or Nevada or wherever who got fired; I'm glad Scalise got shot.

Welcome to the thread, Todd. If you must know, the reason why they went for a more realistic depiction presumably is because the entire point of Julius Caesar is that assassinating political leaders to prevent tyranny doesn't work. From a purely artistic standpoint, if the audience thinks "cool, Trump got what was coming to him!" then they're not understanding Shakespeare's objective. Why is it important to you that a theater group gets people to cheer for murdering the bad people?

Cheap ones can be loud. But most of the hate stems from the fact that they're popular with kids.

There's also been some controversy over whether or not to allow them in schools -- one one hand, some parents say they help autistic/ADHD kids focus, and on the other hand, teachers are naturally reluctant to have kids playing with toys during class time. My own school district has banned them with no pushback, but I've heard of places where a spinner ban has provoked parent revolts.

Never-Trump conservative. In general he makes some noise about how both sides bad, but when it comes to specific complaints he only really ever seems to make them against the Dems. I'm not sure if he's a self-described libertarian or if he was just driven into the arms of Gary Johnson by Trump.

I'm almost convinced that Allie (Hayek-worshipping doof that he is) basically has nearly complete control at this point, and Stantis only has his name on it as (co-)creator. When was the last time Stantis did the art?

Prickly City is also a comic drawn by a guy who realizes his lovely opinions sound awful coming from a middle aged white man, so he gives them to a little Hispanic girl as his mouthpiece.

I'll definitely agree that having something to mess with in your hand while working is valuable. I have a koosh ball in my cube for that reason.

edit: if they make noise that's definitely a problem in the classroom though. Otherwise I wouldn't care.

It's not the noise, it's that for kids who don't actually use them to mess with while working (i.e. 90% of them), they treat it as a toy and do tricks or dismantle it and it distracts from the work. And that's not getting into the "who's got the newest color etc" issues.

Depends how much he craves mainstream Calvin and Hobbes-esque credibility and how willing he is to suppress his hatred for Madigan and huge mancrush on Rauner trolling tendencies.

Now that I think about it, though, you're right and it probably best explains the schizophrenic nature of the comic: Stantis writes all the handwringing and boo-hooing about civility, alternating with Allie who's all about the gently caress KILLARYHunny Bunny

Wouldn't it be better if the GOP were being entombed alive as trump is building a wall around them in a catacombs?

"Obamacare!" Trump said.

"He! he! he! --he! he! he! --yes, Obamacare." Said the Turtle, "But is it not getting late? Will not they be awaiting us at The Capitol, the Mall and the rest? Let us be gone."

"Yes," Trump said, "let us be gone."

"For the love of God, Don"

"Yes," Trump said, "for the love of God!"

But to these words He hearkened in vain for a reply. He grew impatient. He called aloud --

"McConnell!"

No answer. He called again --

"McConnell!"

No answer still. He thrust a torch through the remaining aperture and let it fall within. There came forth in return only a jingling of the bells. His heart grew sick; it was the dampness of the catacombs that made it so. He hastened to make an end of his labour. He forced the last stone into its position and plastered it up. Against the new masonry He re-erected the old rampart of bones of the gipper. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them. In pace requiescat!

Being forced to think about how the Rallvolution could end up backfiring might be good for him.


Given your avatar, I assume you'd be anti-Nazi punching?

Honestly I'm not sure where I fall on that question. Resorting to vigilante violence shows a great degree of cynicism about your society's ability to deal with an issue, but I can understand how people in the US feel pushed to that point.

A gradual increase in temperatures does cause changes that would be considered apocalyptic by most standards.

Like what the gently caress is this? You think people will care more about climate change if you pretend its not as big of an issue? That makes no sense. That will just make it easier for you to keep ignoring.

I mean it'd be nice if we could keep the world nice and clean just for the sake of it but the GLORIOUS FREE MARKET doesn't agree with that.

That's the point. It's another Prickly City comic about how the real issue is how irrationally bothered everyone is, and instead how you should simply just relax and accept the new normal.
