Even assuming the artist doesn't know anything about Star Wars other than Luke good Vader bad, I still don't get what this is saying really. Was the liberal media all confused about something very straightforward recently?

Man, British toonists seem really annoyed that Britain is paying for a service. Hey guys, if you don't want to pay, just repeal the Touquet Agreement. Simple. Then France won't have to keep a bunch of gendarmes to prevent all the lovely illegal immigrants you like welcoming so much from hitching clandestine rides on ferries.

I love how the British attitudes towards Greece and the refugee crisis consist of tutting how the continent is not doing enough, while at the same time loudly insisting that they don't have to contribute one iota because *reasons*.

And they get away with it too, the gits.

Disappointed that "Christian cartoonist hanged, drawn, and quartered by LGBTETC Mafia for saying trans people 'can't change DNA'" turned out to be hyperbole.

You know, its funny to me that the people who would probably complain about tattoos or don't like sex change operations or that mean old science talking about evolution, are apparently okay with theoretical genetic manipulation to undo homosexuality/etc. God made you perfectly, but we'll make you more perfect if you were born gay!

Yup! And we can expect this comic to age equally as well because Trump and his idiots are pretty much pushing any growth left over from Obama’s recovery off a cliff this year if their policies aren’t reversed

It's not ignorance. Most of these fuckers know drat well what the GOP is really about, but someone like Glenn will never suffer under Trump's economy. As someone who is in the upper middle class, if not higher, he's largely insulated from the regressive poo poo that shits on the poor. Being a WASPy gently caress also goes a long way to sheltering the McCoys from any real problems. It helps McCoy and hurts the people he hates, so there's no incentive for him to be honest. Just lie your rear end off.

I guarantee you that whatever democrat follows up this presidency is going to be immediately blamed for whatever mire Trump puts us in. And no improvement will be good enough: they'll squawk and harp on "REAL UNEMPLOYMENT" and all the other qualifiers they 100% ignored the second a republican took office. We need to understand that these fuckers are largely self-serving liars. True believers are largely lesser-knowns like Branco and Garrison. Bigger names like Ramirez KNOW they're full of poo poo when they whine about debt.

What I've gleaned from tonight's talks is that continuing resolutions are really bad for the military so that's why it's two soldiers discussing having a fourth one. The one complaining about the government isn't calling for military intervention, just "yeah they sure suck".

I think.

I mean it IS a Ramirez.

Literally nothing is good enough for Rall. He simply cannot wrap his head around the idea that humans are flawed and working in a flawed system, so naturally every person in history is going to have something negative you can bring up.

This isn't to excuse democrats giving us lovely candidates, but Rall also criticizes whatever form of protest pops up so you literally cannot win with him unless you're running a "Ted Rall is Amazing" march.

England has a history of not understanding foreign crisis's. See the great famine of Ireland where official government policy was that the famine was the punishment of god on the Irish. Meanwhile England continued food export from Ireland to sell.
