Pants Donkey posted:Is that the raises my dad was bringing up at Christmas? he asked if my job was going to be doing raises, to which I had to not laugh, I was standing in line at the supermarket yesterday behind a lady who was proudly announcing to all the cashiers that, "They just announced it on the news, Trump signed that tax bill, and companies like Amazon and yours are giving out $1,000 bonuses to their employees! AND a big tax cut! Enjoy it, you deserve it!" Also she kept getting her PIN wrong, so she spent like five minutes trying to convince everyone they'd be getting fat checks. Edit: Just to clarify, the companies who've been riding the tax bill press cycle are:

Prickly City is just going to be "wow, everything's so bad, why so bad?  " every day until either a Democrat or a Republican who isn't Trump is President, huh.

Someone gave him scented soaps for Christmas once and now he's whining about it like the huge shithead that he is. Remember, Tinsley has a history of using his strip as a way to publicly whine about personal poo poo.

Prickly City just seems so bland compared to other comics. Is someone paying the artist to make those? I mean Branco is a loving rear end in a top hat but the stuff he makes is certainly not bland or boring.

I think it's a combination of "wingnut welfare" and "newspaper strips with inertia cannot be dislodged even with nuclear weapons and will continue running even if the original creator's great grandson's roomate's third cousin's oboe teacher is the one doing the work."

Pelosi and Schuemer are at least leadership (of the powerless minority party) but how disingenuous do you have to be to list Warren as one of the problems in 20 loving 17? I feel like I'm seeing more criticism of what a talentless hack Micheal "two Pulitzers" Ramirez is outside of this thread at least. He's one of those guys that devalues the award he's been given with his sheer mediocrity.

I like how Zelda is always with some dreamy dude, despite being probably the ugliest person in the comic roster and poor grooming. edit I guess it's like a subversion of the "subpar guywith a hot gf" trope? Stickfigure fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Dec 30, 2017 |

The funnier thing is last comic she explicitly said she wasn't interested and didn't want to hang out with him just because he bought them drinks but a couple of wines later and her terrible life choices gland kicks in.

It's going to ruin the individual market, but most of the rest of the ACA will be fine. It's just... Well, we don't need to guess how it goes when the only to get health insurance is through your job or through Medicaid. We did it in the 90s, and it sucked. At least the Medicaid expansion still exists (for the states that took it).
