😌Finally, an avatar the describes my love of tech❤️‍💻, my love of anime💖🎎, and why I'll never see a real girl 🙆‍♀️naked😭.

I don't think it's a girl's bike: girl's bikes still have two bars:


This one only has one; I've seen some bikes like that, but they're mostly with a suspended back seat to buffer shocks and releave back pain associated with writing. I think Branco might, and I know this is shocking, just not be a good artist.

Yeah, and they were like “but we don’t encourage transitioning at 12” and it’s that extra layer of cruelty on top.

I think that is the point. Hands is a liberal cartoonist, after all. Note that this is Uncle Sam trying to inform the public, not media or some corrupt politician. He's a powerful symbol that is not to be overused.

the average american voter understands intuitively that nothing is happening or is going to happen concerning jan 6th, so attention turns to day-to-day problems

Do they still even make separate boys' and girls' bikes? EDIT: Google sez they do, which depresses me since they exist because of a fashion trend that's been dead for almost a century.

Last time I checked out where e-bikes are now I think the two different styles were being referred to as "walk-through" and "step over" which actually makes a lot more sense though I don't know enough about bikes to say why one would want one style over the other. Seems like the "girls" version is just the obviously superior design to me

This is 99% true. There is a slight structural advantage to the step over design with three straight bars in a triangle, but with modern materials, it doesn't matter. And also it makes you look manly, which is obviously important...

It’s not a great looking bike, but it’s largely the right shapes and angles other than Biden’s legs both pointing in the same direction/not long enough. Branco is somehow leading the pack in depicting an accurate bike in political cartoons.

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

If you’ve listened to Pelosi’s January 6 Commission, you’ve heard a great many politicians use the phrase, “our democracy” over and over.


The panel members claim President Trump worked to ‘undermine our democracy,’ or you’ll hear the protest on January 6 was a ‘huge threat to our democracy’ even though most of the protestors were more interested than taking selfies than assassinating people in Congress. None of the protestors were armed. There was no threat to ‘our democracy.’ When you hear the Democrats say Trump is a threat to ‘our democracy,’ what they’re really saying is Trump is a threat to ‘our power.’Besides, the United States is not a democracy. Our founding fathers had a profound distrust of democracy.

That’s why safeguards were built in. They didn’t want to see individual rights voted away by a majority mob. Pelosi and her crew are well aware of this, so why do they keep saying ‘our democracy?’ Because they don’t want our Republic to survive. They want to end the Electoral College. They want to federalize voting. They want to concentrate all power to Washington D.C. into their hands.The states that ratified the Constitution were distrustful of a strong, central government. They were unwilling to relinquish state power to tyrants. By controlling the vote, the Marxist Democrat tyrants will maintain power no matter what kind of humiliation they dole out to citizens.

Direct democracy means rural states will have no say. The big, blue cities will vote for pre-selected Democrats and they will win. The RINO Republicans are fine with this. America will have a uni-party that can’t be voted out of power. At that point, we may as well drop ‘states’ from the United States. Instead, we’ll be the United Democratic Mob. If the J6 Committee is able to convince the DOJ to pursue a felony charge against Trump, he may not be able to run for president again. That has been Pelosi and Schiff’s goal all along.

The tears of Kinzinger and feigned outrage from Liz Cheney are nothing but acting to help the never-Trumper Republicans select an establishment-approved candidate who will probably lose to Joe or Kamala—especially since future elections will no doubt be rigged by the Marxist Democrats. The J6 Committee was set up to help the Democrats grab permanent power.

We all know the J6 Committee is a joke, but the punchline is definitely not funny.

— Ben Garrison


Does he think Direct Democracy is another way to refer to presidential elections going off of a national popular vote?

I like how even in his defense, at least some protestors wanted to assassinate people.

there was at least one case of a government (or ngo?) office getting firebombed and graffitied by someone pro-choice. this is a right that is worth violent protest over, so decrying it as a false flag is conceding ground that shouldn't be conceded.

A clinic that does not give abortions has not been fire-bombed for not providing abortions. The opposite has, however, happened a lot.
