filler cartoon time

I'm more interested in how this dog is chasing its tail with that horribly mangled back half flapping in the breeze. As soon as Garrison tries to draw something besides stiff caricatures of humans it becomes increasingly clear that he just draws the head and then slaps the rest of the body on there later as an afterthought.

That Rall is so loving lovely. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAD ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM FROM DOZENS. AN ACCUSED PEDOPHILE ONLY NARROWLY LOST AN ELECTION AND HAD HIS PARTY’S BACKING.

We are not remotely in the realm of men in power being hounded for their crimes. They are treated just as well as the warmongers (and you, know, tend to be the same loving people anyways). I have to assume Rall has done some sketchy poo poo in the past and is getting defensive. If that’s the case, then I hope whatever poor woman befell him can finally sink this has-been once and for all.

To be fair to Rall, the imperialist warmongers should also be tossed out and shamed. Every time they go into public, presented with pictures of the hundreds of thousands of people dead because of them, every time they want to give a speech or interview they must first explain to a family member why their arcane theories of geopolitics makes their loved ones dying a good thing.

Super anal as it seems there's a variety of things killing us: vehicular emissions, coal and gas pollution, cow farts, man farts, so on and so forth. Bitcoin just has the honor of joining that list while being exponentially more stupid for its existence.

Also the point of buying drugs for bitcoin is that you're not restricted to just local dealers. poo poo on bitcoin investor techies any day but that's like the one nice thing about bitcoin (although people are slowly but surely shifting towards more secure cryptocurrencies like Monero for that use).

Yup, things like driving obviously contribute more to pollution but modern society can't exist without it. Bitcoins serve no practical purpose and all the energy spent "mining" them is basically being thrown out a window. Its dumb as hell.

Plus, by it’s own design, it takes more and more effort (and thus, electricity) to generate the same amount of Bitcoin the longer it goes on.

No one is arguing that. The problem is that he's acting like it's this thing that's always been when it's pretty much a new phenomenon that people are getting accused AND the accused actually pay consequences. It's a lovely cartoon from Rall because he thinks being contrarian makes him ahead of the curve.

No he seems to be saying that their homless racist is destroying the republicans by making sure they don't have a majority anymore. He won't exactly blame the people who let him and Trump come to power to threaten that Republican hedgmony, but he seems to be aware enough that they hosed themselves, but are just blaming Bannon instead of everyone else involved in this Twilight of the Regressive.

Yeah and I was on board with that through the first three panels because Hillary, Obama and their neocon friends' foreign policy of mass murdering Arabs has ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands of more women than what Franken did.

But then in the fourth panel he veers off the road and compares Franken's resignation to burning heretics at the stake, as if what happened to poor old Al "honk honk" Franken is some horribly unjustifiable sentence and nope. Nope nope nope nope.

Yeah, it was stupid of Rall to take pot shots on a dead guy but I never understood Ebert's insistence that Kane was an entertaining movie in and of itself rather than just a very important and influential tech demo. He honestly expected the average moviegooer to be blown away by just a surface level viewing be which was weird considering helping average movie watchers find something to watch was something he did for a living for 40 years. I would have agreed with rall's comic if it wasn't an obituary.
