SwitchbladeKult posted:It is pretty pathetic what a sad sack General Kelly has become. I guess everyone was delusional when they thought he might actually be the voice of reason and civility inside the White House. Nope, just another Washington Insider that'll sell their soul for even the most meager table scraps of political capital. Did you not pay attention to his tenure at DHS? The hope with him getting CoS'd was that he'd be too busy dealing with Trump's incompetence to get his evil fully on.

Regalingualius posted:On the other hand, better a bad ally than being a horse’s rear end about how “it’s not really assault, they knew what they were getting into, etc.” The thing is that bad allies still believe "they knew what they were asking for" just not for women they personally know, or who fit whatever image of virtue and purity they carry around in their heads. When it comes to misogyny, you can't really apply the usual conservative/liberal party lines to narrow in on the right opinion. The left has better policies for women, but sexism is still a rampant problem that liberal/leftist men don't want to deal with. Rep. Wilson is coming forward with her comments to draw the heat of the administrations lies and spite away from a grieving family, much like a rodeo clown distracts a raging bull to protect a rider.

It's been confirmed that Kelly lied to make Rep. Wilson look bad so even if he's not racist he's still an rear end in a top hat, so gently caress him and gently caress Stiglich.

Delonas is making poo poo up because Bush called out Trump for being supported by neo-nazis, alleging conspiracies behind every failure, and constantly lying. It's a decent speech and even if the guy giving it is a piece of poo poo it doesn't make those parts of the speech wrong or give anyone open season on alternative facts-ing what was literally said.

Where did empty barrel come from? Because half the people who draw it put the lady inside it making it a-not-empty-barrel so even if I accept it's a metaphor that any human being has ever used before this week, and I do not, none of these cartoonists know what to do with it showing they've never heard of it either.

If you mean why is it showing up now, it's because Kelly called Frederica Wilson an empty barrel. If you're asking about the origin: quote:If you rap on a barrel that’s full with your fist or with a mallet, it makes a dull thud. If you rap on a barrel that’s empty, it reverberates like a drum, making a much louder sound as the wall, covers and air inside it vibrate. It’s a metaphor for someone who has no real substance that insists on babbling about things on which they have little knowledge or authority to everyone around them. As someone else already stated, Shakespeare used the metaphor with “empty vessels” instead of barrels although he didn’t take credit for it. Thus it’s an old idiom in the English language.

Both sides bad! Saying both sides bad...bad? The only positive thing about a Trump administration is that we don't have to hypothesize about a presidency. We have four years of naked hypocrisy on display. Pants Donkey fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Oct 23, 2017 |

[Rep] Wilson, a longtime family friend who accompanied Ms. Johnson and heard the call, recounted what the president said to several reporters and lamented that the president had offended the young widow, who was upset that the president did not seem to know Sergeant Johnson’s name. Last week, Mr. Trump said on Twitter that Ms. Wilson’s account was “totally fabricated,” although the woman who raised Sergeant Johnson said it was accurate. And Mr. Trump has continued to target the congresswoman, calling her “wacky.” On Monday, Ms. Johnson supported Ms. Wilson, who has been feuding with both Mr. Trump and Mr. Kelly over the call. “Whatever Ms. Wilson said was not fabricated,” Ms. Johnson said. “What she said was 100 percent correct.” “The president said, ‘He knew what he signed up for, but it hurts anyway,’” Ms. Johnson said during an interview with ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos. “It made me cry because I was very angry at the tone in his voice and how he said it.” “He couldn’t remember my husband’s name,” Ms. Johnson said. “The only way he remembered my husband’s name is because he told me he had my husband’s report in front of him and that’s when he actually said ‘La David.’ I heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband’s name. And that’s what hurt me the most because if my husband is out here fighting for our country, and he risked his life for our country, why can’t you remember his name?” https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/922440008971292672 You can all go gently caress yourselves.

I also like how Payne drew a tank that represented the "War On Coal", but the sign on the tank is whining about the individual mandate from the ACA. W's tank at least kept with the overall theme by mentioning WMDs. He can't even keep his story straight beyond 'Obama dared to be president while black'.

In the words of the kids these days: I'm the conspicuous silence in place of what Trump did in order to scream and shout as loudly as possible about the response. According to the usual gang of idiots the incident went: "HOW DARE TRUMP DO THAT I'M A CLOWN DOOPTY DOOP!!" "NOW LOOK AT HIM!! GRRRRR I'M SO DUMB!!"
