Labour being confused in general over Brexit is, as I understand it, a large part of the reason they were considered completely hosed until Corbyn decided to spend the leadup to the snap election talking about something else instead

I can't believe how many Youtube videos there are of Waffle House employees fighting each other. What do they do, serve vodka in the break rooms?

I wish I could say I'm surprised at the rightwing response, but it's pretty much 100% "two wrongs make a right" arguments here. Payne is "Democrats too!" Garrison and company are "BUT HILLARY!" Even Don Jr himself was "OTHER people have done it too I bet!" No one's even trying to defend or justify it, just distract and deflect. That's been the right wing line for months if not years now, so it's just crushing and disheartening, but certainly not surprising. It looks like it's going to be "yeah we did a bad thing but remember that one time a democrat did a bad thing??" from here till the heat death of the universe.

I guess I see that cartoon's viewpoint as more "you do it if you want, 'cause we're sure not gonna" and less Horsey being a fan of Macron himself.

cheetah7071 posted:I suspect the vast majority of Americans don't know much about Macron besides "he won an election against french Trump" He is basically just every mediocre centrist politician ever. His policies include trying to consolidate even more power in an already-very-powerful French presidency (which is why people call him a monarchist; his own phrase for it is a "Jupiterian" presidency); attacking unions and the public sector, including laying off thousands of public servants; "reducing spending," especially in local/regional government; lowering taxes on the rich while raising indirect taxes on the poor; and everything else you'd expect from a rather uninspiring neoliberal. He is also copping some flack at the moment for suggesting that Africa has "civilisational problems," that France's colonial and post-colonial legacy wasn't so bad, and that the continent might be less hosed if African women didn't have so many babies. e: added a very important extra word.

 Wilcox:  The Australian Liberal party is currently in a struggle to define itself, with conservative members (notably Abbott) saying the party should realign to its traditional conservative roots. Lately PM Malcolm Turnbull, in an acceptance speech for the Disraeli Award in London, talked about how actually the party founder Sir Robert Menzies deliberately chose the name Liberals to avoid the conservative label and Menzies vision was for a progressive party including moderates. These cartoons are about the reaction in Australia to that. Rowe:  Downes:  Statue is Menzies, guy on the Abbott ball is Tasmanian senator Eric Abetz. Clement:  Zanetti:

It's amusing/interesting/slightly frustrating to me how all the UK cartoons featuring May being incompetent in the last couple of days seem to also have Corbyn there doing such dreadful things as... Not helping his political opponent in her mad quest to destroy the country or assisting her in saving her career and reputation, and usually put him in a more sinister position than she is. (Except for the Brexit ones, which have him supporting her, but that actually makes sense and isn't nearly as disingenuous.)

If anything, it makes it look like he's playing Road Runner to her Coyote. I thought that, given the tone of british politoons, laughing at your opponent as they humiliate themselves was a good thing. The Independent up there looks like "Hah, Corbyn sure has made May look like a complete idiot, hasn't he?". Fulchrum fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Jul 13, 2017 |

As always, Bok's not quite smart enough to realize that announcing that you're anti-antifa kind of makes you pro-fa.

It's dumb, but the argument should be on merit more than name, because it's the same argument other and much more flawed groups use. "You're against 'pro-life'? You realize that makes you ANTI-LIFE, right??"
