But that wasn't the real answer, not even close
for suits just want larger accounts to boast
The savings for the rest of us were really quite small
and the other poo poo isn't helpful at all
Removing the mandate? No personal exempt?
It treats the poor with so much contempt!
And of course McKee knows this, the upper-class twit
For the whole cartoon 'twas nothing but poo poo
But he'll back Trump and this bill oh so crass
For McKee loves nothing more
than kissing rich rear end.

I appreciate this post.

Literally "draw", though I guess it could refer to either?

Also "well, we kinda hosed up this local village". "Local" is just as out of place in the original text.

Edit - oh yeah. Obviously it's the Americans giving you orders, not the Russians. I'm assuming that was a Freduain slip rather than an outright misunderstanding of everything about the cartoon.

I can see how you might think that, but this is actually about a different problem that's distressingly common in Sweden:

Jokes aside. The women running a sham business as a cover being a stay at home wife was something I never thought of before. I have a friend and she's a silver smith while her husband has some fancy management job.

I always saw them as two working parents but her silver smith work was basically just adding trinkets to a string and call it a necklace which she then sold online and last year she made like $900 doing this.

Jesus loving Christ what is wrong with this guy?

Okay, to give a little context, "Replacement Theology" Christianity is the belief that Jesus Christ fulfilled and superseded the original covenant with Moses, also known as Supersessionism. It's a super popular view of Christianity at the layman level ("I'm allowed to eat shrimp because all those old rules don't apply, the only rule is that you must believe Jesus is your savior") but is... complicated in a more in-depth theological view because it kinda, sorta implies that all Jews are defying the word of God.

This became even more of an issue after the Holocaust, so most denominations started rolling back Replacement Theology as an official tenant, kind of. The Roman Catholics, for example, moved away from 'hard' Supersessionism to 'soft' supersessionism as part of Vatican II - Jesus is a new, improved expansion of the covenant but not a complete replacement. Christianity is implied to be superior to Judaism, but not innately incompatible. Like everything with Vatican II, there are hardliners who consider this heretical. Most Protestant churches either don't acknowledge it, or have walked it back as well... again, except for the hardliners who think Jews are heretics and tend to be explicitly antisemitic.

So, long story short, this loving rear end in a top hat is tying 1.) Christians who support the Palestinians and 2.) Jews who support human rights to 3.) Antisemitism and the loving HOLOCAUST. What the gently caress is wrong with this guy??

The really goofy part about it is the sects of American Christianity that are hardcore "Christian Zionist" (aka go to Israel to die, Jews) are EXACTLY the ones that are the most openly supersessionist! The same churches that love to talk about how they and the Republicans are "Friends of Israel" are also the ones hosting "Christian Seders" and funding/hosting Jews for Jesus and other "Messianic"/"Completed" orgs. It's the left wing of Christianity that's abandoned supersessionism, and those are the same churches having issues with the behavior of the present Israeli government. So, it's not just his usual gross, it's also stupid and wrong, one more example of Jews getting duped into shacking up with people who still talk about Christ-killing and hunger for the extermination of all Jews as part of their political theology.

Or beam of magical light ascending to heaven. You're probably the first portrayal in an actual political context. Bloodnose appeared in one of the "slice-of-life" installments of a Hong Kong cartoonist when they met at a convention, and the cartoonist's wife used him to show that her husband was paler than an Actual White Person.

Oh poo poo, I figured you were just a contributor, but you founded Bellingcat? I don't keep up to date with it but I know you do good work there. I know the site is plagued by Russian shills in the comments, but if they're moving up to political cartoons for public consumption that means...

Honestly I don't know enough about Russia to say if that means they're really scared, or if they just escalate like this whenever there's a persistent threat. Either way, good work being enough of a thorn in their side to get this kind of recognition.

The recent stuff is probably a response to what we've done on MH17 recently, IDing one of the people on the intercepted recordings the JIT published as a Russian Colonel General. He threatened to sue us, but I've not had any letters or emails from lawyers. Yet.
