Technically there's nothing in the cartoon contradicting any of that. I'll admit I have no idea about the (lack of) chances for upward mobility in ancient Egypt, but it could be on point as far as that goes? Maybe?

Seriously, it's just so telling when people think like this. You can narrow them down so easily to either being:
a) conservative
b) misogynistic
c) a rapist
d) all of the above

Never mind that, what is holding up the rope on the front side of the block? Normally there would workers pulling on it, but those are nowhere to be seen.

I guess I'm just not sure if being an ancient Egyptian employee grants you adequate legal protection from a hostile work environment.

It's simpler than that. Under Obama, ISIS was out of control. Under Trump, ISIS is defeated. Just like how under Obama, the economy was struggling and nobody had a job, but under Trump, the economy is booming.

ISIS actually is having a lot of trouble these days, it just has very little to do with anything Donald Trump has done.

I agree, Trump does suffer the handicap of not having Obama's intelligence and self-discipline.

But seriously though, how much of a mindless Trump stooge do you have to be to defend him on the golf issue?

Pakled

WE ARE SMART
1. Obama, as far as I can remember, never criticized his predecessor for golfing too much, so there's no element of hypocrisy like there is with Trump
2. Trump's golfed more in his first year than Obama did in his first three years

It has an "understood fifth panel" that's the green haired Libtard going "oh that's ok than". Because, as we all know, colleges and universities gather higher number of minorities because they hate white people and that kind of racism the Left is ok with. It's not so much a joke but an illustration of something they already believe to be true.

I dreamt of politoons. There was a series of toons on the issue of NRA lobbying, starring a GOP elephant man with a gun for a trunk. I forgot the points it made but I remember finding some of them disappointingly dumb. I did like the gun-trunk elephant, though. Other than their pistol proboscis, they looked a bit like Rogers' crazy-eyed elephants.
