You think reality is a circle of salt around my brain keeping witches out?
I do genuinely wonder if any outside source is the main cause for Garrison to descend deeper and deeper into conspiracy-land. Like, a lot of conservative cartoonists are Trump-boot-licking sycophants, but at the end of the day, they still pump out the "Republican person bad? No, actually, Republican person good! DEMOCRAT bad!" cartoons they always have.

Garrison has definitely lost more and more grip on what constitutes an actual fact as time has went on. Do you think that it's just all self-motivated, and is just trying desperately to explain away Daddy Trump being an incompetent buffoon rather than a Powerful Leader? Or is he one of those people that just inherently believes everything InfoWars/Trunews/Prison Planet says, while trying to come up with a caricature for "bankers" that won't get him yelled at?

Garrison has always been a conspiracy crazy. Prior to 2016 he hated democrats and republicans equally. For some reason he dropped all that and went solid republican, probably because he hated Hillary enough to throw in with anyone on the other side. He mainly idolizes Trump but he was trying to make almost every republican look good in the 2016 primary (and utterly failed: see "Kind-Eyes Cruz").

He still occasionally lashes out at some Republicans though; he loving hates McCain.

You could appoint trump to every position in government and garrison would still be a tin foiler. Just how conspiracy brains work.

It’s still bad because Glenn was attributing the DOW gains to Trump unequivocally. Now stocks are failing and he’s doing milquetoast “oh the economy is complicated you can’t say who’s responsible.”

It’s a step above “the deep state did it!” but still shows Glenn possesses no thought beyond mere tribalism, and he will leap to any conclusion that saves face for his side.

The thing to keep in mind here is that he's doing this in response to an event that makes a Republican look bad

He'll still gladly be Panel A Elephant all day the next time a good thing happens under a Republican president

Nah, as I recall he despised Jeb, Christie, Rubio and any other candidate who didn't scream racist obscenities loudly enough. I think Garrison has adored the tea parties barely hidden white supremacy long before 2016, and he spent all of 2012 screeching about Ron Paul.

No, because he honestly sees it as being democrat hypocrisy full stop. The Republican is just pointing out facts.

I'm LOVING the sudden influx of tears and concern over poo poo Liberals have been complaining about for literally decades.

No, generally it refers to pictures of underage children. Men masturbate to pictures of loving children, then freak out if they accidentally did it to a boy, since prepubescent children don't have as many obvious differentiators.

Apparently, this was the children's fault.

How the hell do you manage to almost always be so wrong and dumb? It's like some kind of hosed up superpower.

It's about an adventure of self-discovery as a young man runs around collecting McGuffins to save a princess named Zelda. There are variations on the theme, but that's the basic thrust of it.

It's from Scandinavia (Norway, I think?), it's in this thread because people enjoy it and it often has at least tangentially political messages, and it looks like someone edited the speech bubbles because someone did exactly that - they're not originally in English and the goon who posts it is translating them just for us.

It's in some moon language so it's translated by a goon. It's in this thread as respite from the torrent of poo poo which is constantly posted. It's from some moon place where the sun only shines four weeks of the year and hobbies include diving in cold water, throwing rocks at Africans, and suicide.

If it turned out that Bush had wiretapped Plouffe for being a suspected foreign agent I'm pretty sure that would have been big deal, because that meant there was enough credible evidence to convince a judge that Obama was being influenced by spies. In fact, I'm pretty sure that would have significantly tarnished Obama's legacy.

Funny how that never seemed to come up, though. I wonder what's different about Obama's campaign team and Trump's campaign team.
