Pander: Oct 9, 2007; Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

Obamacare worked pretty well until republicans took charge of it and drove it into the ocean? It's not entirely inaccurate.

Nice stuff, even if the metaphor doesn't quite hold up in all of them (especially Bennett's). It's not the strength of the ACA that prevented its repeal.

Probably because it's not as ingrained in the collective pop culture memory as the Road Runner or the Bugs opera short or Duck Amuck or others.

In the old days battlefield communications occurred via carrier pigeon. In a postmodern update, Trump tweeted transgenders out of the military.

Defense secretary Mattis was �appalled� that the president tweeted his way around his own command structure.

McCain called it, �yet another example of why major policy announcements should not be made via Twitter.�

The military is awaiting �further guidance� before enforcing the policy.

loquacius: Oct 21, 2008

The GOP having determinedly driven themselves into the ocean with their disastrous rhetoric on Obamacare, McCain politely decides to open an escape route and thus not die just yet. The GOP doesn't understand this idea because they have no idea what they're talking about. AGC.

I think it's actually been a while since we've seen someone attribute a crazy wingnut opinion to Literally The Entire Nation, Unanimously in their cartoon. It's usually a pretty common tactic.

As Social Security showed before, once people have broad access to a policy that actually and unequivocally helps them, it's very very hard to take it away no matter how many times you say the word "socialism".

From a Republican perspective, this one is a question of how much you hate them queers :bahgawd:

versus how much you love Are Troops and want the government to Let Them Do Their Job oorah semper fi etc etc

Bok tending more toward the latter half of the spectrum is not unsurprising to me

Sandpuppy posted:

Bennett, we need to have a talk. Did Trump's victory mentally break you? I'm not at all blaming you if it did, but you've been phoning it in since last November.

I mean, look at this cartoon. Two years ago you could've done the same metaphor with no labels and much more evocative imagery. Like, imagine if instead of a brick house it was a hospital, with Trump ineffectually blowing at the door, and three elephants (one of which looks suspiciously like McCain) smugly looking on from the windows.

You just haven't been giving us the quality we've come to expect from you buddy, and we need it now more than ever.
