The Korner Kelly is a weird aspect of it being a parody cartoonist. You need a reference to Kelly so you understand that the idealized dude in the cartoon is a lie to assuage Kelly’s ego.

Amazing how transparent they are that "Textualism" is just supposed to mean "deciding the way the GOP wants". :allears:

Textualism is when you rule purely based on the text in the law with no outside context.
Gorsuch: Okay by the text in this law discrimination against LGBT people is illegal.

I mean, after 30 years of Scalia pounding the textualist drum and magically always finding that the text meant the most regressive course of action for any situation, of course they'd be pissed when a so-called textualist decides that any American law could even come close to implying some non-cis/straight/white/male people deserve rights

Their version of textualism isn't actually "we determine what is lawful from the text of the Constitution itself," it's "we determine what is lawful from what we assume the writers of the text had in mind when they wrote it." So, when a conservative makes a ruling not based off of what attitudes they think an 18th century rich slave holder would have, it reveals them as a Stealth Liberal.

TBH I think the yearly crime budget is really high this year and the govt should really remove their crime department.

This comparison is so absurd it doesn't hold up for a second.

Anyways, for some better arguments:


The cartoon is old, but the rant is new !

quote:

WELCOME TO YOUR PROGRESSIVE UTOPIA
This cartoon was published nearly three years ago. It predicted our future, which has now arrived in full, ugly bloom.

Actually, I’m not much of a prognosticator and my crystal ball broke a long time ago. In 2017 the incidences shown in this cartoon were already occurring. Now they’ve all become worse.

Expect to see more statues being torn down. Nancy Pelosi and her radical Democrats are all for it. They are for kneeling at every opportunity. After all, they hate America, and want to destroy our history.

Expect the NFL to order all players to kneel during the National Anthem. (OK, I’m just joking, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens).

Expect to see our history be rewritten by socialists. Actually, they’ve already done that and our children are taught to hate America in leftist indoctrination centers formerly known as public schools. America’s past is evil and in their eyes it justifies America’s destruction.

Expect more censorship across the board. The Chinese cannot be offended. Old films won’t be seen on late-night TV and especially on HBO or Obama’s Netflix. Instead, we’ll continue to get leftist propaganda films. Google will make it increasingly difficult to find the truth via its former search engine. It doesn’t do that anymore. The pistons in that engine now fire out pro new world order propaganda. Look for all the social media to continue with their ‘bit burning.’ Amazon will increasingly burn, er, ban books that the left finds offensive.

One thing I didn’t predict in the cartoon is medical tyranny. Controlled by the globalist left, look for more rules and phony laws designed to herd us toward a mandatory vaccine and a global ID system.

We can’t stop idiots from electing politicians such as Nancy Pelosi, but we can refuse to take the upcoming ‘mandatory’ vaccine. Do not watch the BLMNFL. Do not wear or a mask—that’s kneeling to medical tyranny. Do not kneel to anyone. We have no reason to feel guilty for being alive and aware of what’s really going on.

Expect more madness, but refuse to comply.

Reminder, the “silent majority” grows more angry and larger everyday.

New Tinsley hates education as much as old Tinsley, Prickly City continues to... exist, and McCoy goes full Kelly with a crying symbol of authority. Cool.

UZworm posted:

...What?

"School choice" means taking money from poor schools and giving it to kids in those schools to pay for a small fraction of a private school education. This generally defunds public schools while doing nothing to help said kids. In conservative telling, school choice would allow every black kid to get a free education at the most expensive private and/or religious schools and the only reason Democrats oppose it is because they hate black people and are controlled by all-powerful teachers' unions.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
I went to look up Paul Berge's reaction to the SCOTUS decision, and while it doesn't seem like he's posted anything yet, I found out he's got a fantastic blog with a lot of detailed historical political cartooning retrospectives and commentary!

The Obamas founded a production company that makes documentaries and they have a streaming deal with Netflix. This, to Ben, I guess, is enough to say they secretly control Netflix.

I gotta be honest: I don't totally disagree with the duck on this one. College has become way too expensive for many people to attend without acquiring crippling debt (which is why we should provide free state colleges like other first world nations) and trade schools teach people with valuable skills and shouldn't be looked down on. I'm pro-education, but education comes in many different forms.

You kind of need hands on work for a lot of trades. YOu can't learn how to do things like HVAC, electrical repair, or auto mechanic things on a computer.
