Scott Morrison with defence minister Peter Dutton. NSW Liberals set to take federal minister to court in battle over who chooses election candidates (ABC). Morrison's representative Alex Hawke hasn't been attending meetings to elect their executives and the NSW Liberals are accusing him and Morrison of trying to run out the clock so the local branches have no time to vote meaning Morrison can step in and hand pick who he wants. Meanwhile the shadow election campaign has been running in key must-win NSW seats and the Liberals don't have candidates.

PUTIN’S NO TEDDY BEAR

Joe Biden continues to fade. At his press conference yesterday he again came across as befuddled. His slurring and mumbling makes him even harder to understand. He actually asked for help from his handlers. Of course, Dementia Joe does not make any decisions. He’s a figurehead. (Or knucklehead if you prefer). They wheel him out to read a teleprompter and then he promptly stumbles away weakly without fielding questions.

Two years ago Biden tweeted, “Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be president. He doesn’t want me to be our nominee,” Mr Biden said on Twitter on 21 February, 2020. “If you’re wondering why – it’s because I’m the only person in this field who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him.”

Joe is now too incapacitated to go toe-to-toe with anyone, especially Putin’s bear claw. Biden is not fit to make any decisions other than choosing his ice cream flavor in a nursing home. Putin along with everyone else knows Joe and his regime are weak. Just look at their disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden is the classic emperor with no clothes and no brain. It’s likely the Davos crowd is calling the shots, not Biden. The unelected Klaus Schwab probably has more sway than Joe.

That said, Joe did engage in criminal deals with Ukraine and his son Hunter raked in millions of dollars as a result. Did Biden pledge them his support if Russia invaded? If so, the Ukrainian leaders will not be happy. Perhaps they’ll officially spill the beans on the Biden family corruption.

We at GrrrGraphics believe we should stay out of the region. Ukraine is not a NATO country, nor is it a free country. The USA should not be the world’s policeman. Citizens are suffering in North Korea. Should we invade North Korea? Citizens in communist China are being sent to concentration camps based on their ethnicity and religion. The communists promised Hong Kong would retain their freedoms. The communists lied. Should we invade China? Of course not.

Joe and his programmers have left our southern border wide open. They’ve even aided the illegals by flying them around to locations within the country. It’s time to protect our own borders, not the borders of Ukraine.

— Ben Garrison

Putin's still shirtless, but at least he's not also in a tank this time.

I don't typically mean to sass the mods or defend VitalSigns but I'm pretty sure this post was meant to mean that Ben Garrison had, in his rant, complained that Biden was too weak to stand up to Russia, before then also saying that Biden shouldn't get involved. I don't think Vitalsigns was claiming that Murdstone or anyone else in the thread was making that argument, just Garrison.

We just had a cartoon where a woman tells a little girl that a silver medal in the Olympics is now the worst thing a woman can win because of trans athletes, and Mike Wife Beater Lester made a cartoon about putting a dolphin in women's swimming because "They won't complain about anything." This thread has already had plenty of transphobia. But yeah I'm expecting some incredibly gross and lovely takes after seeing Twitter talk about how Abbot is going after health care services that support trans kids.

And hey we might have the Supreme Court legalize discrimination against gay people soon so that'll be "fun" too.

it's kind of impressive because as schizoid as garrison is one consistent viewpoint he's maintained up until now, regardless of whether it was big daddy trump or hideous snake-swamp biden/obama/clinton, is a staunchly anti-war sentiment.

until right now i guess, because the united states of 'murica can't look weak on the global stage so gotta bomb a bunch of people

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
I suggest a new Kellies Kategory on the Putin cartoons, because we may see a lot of them this year. Not quite sure how to capture it.

...Bear in mind that the entire shirtless Putin thing comes directly from propaganda stories that Putin's people promoted through domestic media, one of many strongman messages that, unfortunately, cartoonists have lazily internalized as a shorthand.

:siren:Kellies update:siren:: Nominations have been collected and at this time, we are looking at 391 nominees, spread across 23 Kategories, plus 29 Special Ks (not counting bbits or other profile surprises). 79 of the nominations were by the_steve. For comparison, we had 192 nominees total last year.

However, we currently have very few nominees in the following kategories:

Worst "Two Things Happened" Cartoon
Best AGC Interpretation
Best Overall
Worst Obituary


To keep these categories viable, please nominate additional cartoons for them from the 2021 thread . They're all right on the border at present. You can nominate cartoons by PMing me, or by posting in the nominations thread. Please do not nominate them here, or they'll get confused with this year's entries.

Additionally, please be selective with joke nominations and nominating comics for multiple kategories. I like Special Ks and some comics are absolutely multi-kategory kontenders, but they're a lot of additional work to process.

I will finish the encoding and formatting process for the nominations in the coming week. Thank you all for your patience.

I actually haven't listened to Biden in ages, since I don't really watch my news, but I heard him speak the other day. The man sounds tired. I know it's a tough job and everyone ages violently during it, but this really making a good case to not have such an old president.

The cartoonists here like to say he's got dementia or whatever, which is just cruel and wrong, but he does sound exhausted just go with that.

I don't remember which of the right-wing political mock threads I said it in (Maybe freep?) but a lot of the "Biden has dementia" takes are latching on to things he uses to manage his reletively aggressive studder. So they're not just lovely takes (I wasn't a fan of the Trumpmentia takes either, to be fair, even if that's a bit "it turns out you don't, in fact, have to give it to them"), they're ABLEIST lovely takes.

Correct

It's one of the issues with modding by reports I think, sometimes mods are just trying to clear the report queue and don't have time to read all the context around a dozen posts that got reported or whatever

If so it's weird that anyone would report a pretty anodyne post calling Ben Garrison a hypocrite because what, did Tina pay :10bux: for an account?
