I think the artist believes that the saying "raining cats and dogs" refers to how many there are, so because there will be a lot of IRS agents, it will replace the turn of phrase.

This doesn't appear to be any part of the known etymology:

Ah yes, using the fact that Paul Pelosi was recently charged with a crime to highlight how democrats never get charged with crimes. I was going to remark on the terrible label there too but then I imagined he just goes about his day with that sign around his neck IRL and that thought makes me happy.

Yknow, I've seen this meme, but especially seeing the sentiment presented this way I realize that I have no idea in what practical sense it could ever possibly be true. In what way, by what stretch of the imagination, is Trump in the way of any government agency getting to you? Even if their every conspiracy theory is right, how can he possibly be protecting the common man? Especially now that he's not president? How does this even make sense?
I know the answer is "it doesn't make sense and they don't need it to" but come the gently caress on are they even trying at this point

I feel like I must be stupid or something, because I can't for the life of me figure this one out. The obvious interpretation is to take the statement at face value, and that American military capabilities have degraded in the pursuit of "wokeness," but there's no evidence of wokeness and all the evidence of a formidable military in the image, which would go against that interpretation completely. The other answer is that the statement is ironic, and that token efforts at "wokeness" have amounted to no visible changes to the culture and capabilities of the American military, which is as dominant and un-woke as ever, but that doesn't seem consistent with Ramirez either. Am I just missing the terminal brainworms to read this one or something, or am I just dumb?

Ramirez is bad at cartoons.

I mean, that's a cop out, but look at that monstrosity. The figures talking are microscopic, thus the focus of the image is...a blank void in the middle of a Where's Waldo of crosshatch nonsense. He's devoted 90% of this political cartoon to "I guess that's probably a battleship or something", and he stuck the emptiest part of it smack dab in the middle. Stick a rainbow on that big blank metal void or something, Ramirez, you loving hack.

Payne simply hates fuel economy. A car-enthusiast friend sent me link to this article about the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport a few weeks ago - I somehow hadn't realised Payne was a motor journalist as well as a cartoonist, but here he is drooling over what is, to him, the Best Car.

Henry Payne posted:

It doesn’t disappoint. This is the summit of auto engineering.
Payne's ideal car:
  • costs over $3million
  • weighs 2 tonnes
  • can achieve 10 mpg (in ideal conditions)
  • can go from a full tank to empty in around 40 minutes
  • has diamonds ground up in the speakers "for perfect fidelity".
To any normal person any one of these features would put them off - to Payne these are all indicators of the car's excellence. To him, cost and inefficiency = more vrooms = best. Lower costs or greater efficiency therefore = fewer vrooms = bad. He believes this is obvious, and that anyone opining otherwise is lying just to be "woke".

As the article notes

Water quality in the river Windrush in Oxfordshire has deteriorated rapidly since 2010, according to activists — a period that has coincided with the Environment Agency handing responsibility for pollution monitoring to the nine large water and sewage companies in England.

This worked as well as you'd expect.
