Am I misreading this or is this literally saying "punishing troops for committing war crimes is basically the same as committing war crimes, if you think about it"

Prior to this, did Prickly City have any strips attributing blame to Trump for mishandling the pandemic, or was it just "covid scary"?

What's the chance the EU are gonna say "well, if you don't want a deal, you can rot on your island by yourself" when Brexit enters the final stage? Does the EU have the ovaries to go through with something like that? It would be very funny to me if the UK just collapsed from isolation. I would also support Scottish, Northern Irish, Welsh and possibly Northern English independence in that case.

Pretty easy to disavow Trump after he's lost.

The UK position is completely bonkers by the way. They looked at the huge harmonised trade block they were a part of, the block that forces its standards onto third countries through sheer size, and said to themselves: "We want this, but worse in every way". That's what the UK is currently negotiating.

The extent to which Brexit is an own goal continues to completely flabbergast me. As far as I can tell, it’s in no one’s interest, certainly not the wealthy elites on either side of the aisle. Except that it keeps getting Conservatives elected. At every point I’ve thought “ok, now they’ll use this opportunity to gracefully change course” and at every point I’m wrong. I’m trying to think of a more damaging non-binding referendum in history.

Wait what the hell is this supposed to mean, this is complete nonsense? And why do the turkey and USA lady have the same eyes

A "turkey" is an old-timer colloquialism for something that is low quality, a failure, etc.

Eagles are associated with nobility.

That horrifying beige squid/manta ray combo is the artist's representation of president-elect Joe R Biden

The cartoon's message is "liberals say big government is good, but actually, it is bad"

What does 'Big Government' even mean to Republican's anymore?

It seems like they're pro big government when it's enabling capitalism or being used to oppress minorities, but against it whenever it would improve peoples quality of life or provide useful services (especially if those services are for minorities).

THE EXPERTS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT?

I’m often called a ‘conspiracy theorist,’ but what we’ve all seen unfold before our eyes the past few years makes it clear that they’re not theories. They are real conspiracies being carried out by the elitists at the top of the pyramid.

We’ve seen an attempted coup, the blatant rigging of a presidential election, and a plannedemic designed to ruin our country ahead of the ‘Great Reset.’

Believing in ‘America First,’ makes us all Nazis somehow. General Mattis even said Biden’s first goal should be to take ‘America First’ out of our national security policy. Really? That sounds like something a mad dog would say.

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau has come out and announced his support for Agenda 30. I remember not too long ago how anyone mentioning the UN Agendas were immediately denounced as conspiracy theorists.

What the elitists want will not be pleasant for the vast majority of us. The worst thing they have planned is a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine. Just a few years ago anyone like me who were warning about mandatory vaccines were discredited as a conspiracy theorists and nut jobs. Now it’s being mentioned by the mass media and people are already welcoming it in order to get things ‘back to normal.’

There is nothing normal about vaccination in general, but making it mandatory is downright dystopian. If we go along, elitists such as Bill Gates will roll out new viruses and announce never-ending vaccines for us. OH—and we’ll still have to wear their masks, which damages us both mentally and physically. What happens when people start dropping dead a few years after taking the vaccines? The elitists will say it’s due to a new strain of virus and not their vaccines and that the solution is more vaccines! Yes, it will get that nutty.

The vaccines will contain unspeakable evil such as aborted fetal tissue, nano technology, and DNA-changing elements. Not to mention adjuvants that are downright poisonous to our bodies. These vaccines will make many sick right after getting jabbed. Some may die, but the vaccine makers can’t be sued. Huh? How did we allow Congress to give them special dispensation? It means Big Pharma can rush vaccines out without fear. It means a lessening of their responsibility and accountability. It means they have become even more dangerous.

Bill Gates is the biggest vaccine pusher in the world. A confirmed nerd, Bill was bullied as a child. Now he wants to bully the world using forced vaccination. He will have extracted sweet revenge on humanity when he forces his mandatory vaccines upon the Earth and millions begin dropping dead because of them.

We all need to have the final say about what goes into our bodies. If we lose that right, we will lose everything…including our very lives. Say no to Bill Gates and vaccines.

PS. For years the Left has proclaimed “My Body My Choice” when it comes to abortions. Shouldn’t that apply to getting vaccines too?

One group of wealthy elites who will benefit from Brexit are those with large sums of money in UK-affiliated tax havens, who will no longer have to care about their being put on EU blacklists for non-compliance with tax transparency laws. Entirely coincidentally, some of these people are hardest-Brexit-possible Tory MPs. Weird, huh?

He is really becoming unhinged lately. Also Agenda 30 I think is referring to the 2030 Agenda which is related to climate change and sustainability.

Vib Rib posted:

No better way to show that your target has no degree than giving him a huge degree, on his wall, inscribed with the words "I don't have this". Stellar visual storytelling. Couldn't he have drawn a bunch of labeled empty frames, instead?

Also you can't say use "my body my choice" as hypocrisy if you are also a hypocrite about it but just from the other side, you dumb gently caress. If you're using that argument for vaccines now you legally have to support the right to abortion, sorry.

I'm just stuck on "unelected expert". Maybe he means "neither elected, nor expert", but that's not what it says. It seems to imply that we elect experts? That being elected makes you an expert? That Gates is an expert despite not being elected? It's just a weird thing.
