Step 1: abolish meat inspections. They already cheered this when Trump did it anyway
Step 2: Tyson chicken or some other factory farm starts (???) using insect protein as filler in chicken nuggets, etc
Step 3: turn on the culture war, ie respond to anyone blowing the whistle on the insect protein with an ad campaign saying real men eat Tyson's chicken nuggets to trigger the libs.

Nah, that would just turn Tyson into a woke globalist communist corporation. Probably getting direct orders from Biden (Obama (Soros)), too.

Hey a familiar dipshit popped up in local WA state politics here!



Basically, state Republicans have decided their hot ticket item is the repealing police pursuit bill that was introduced a few years ago, more or less banning police pursuits unless they have proof of a committed crime. It's pretty well known pursuits kill a lot of people each year and the data shows in one year its gone down in the state. Police are mad they can't run over pedestrians anymore :qq:

Anyway, Allie is trying to present this as bipartisan (it's not) and Manka Dhingra, the chair of the law committee, was right to not bring it to a vote. Future 42 is some conservative think tank that pumps money into dipshit podcasters and other weird things, so I guess they got themselves a cartoonist now.

Western media is blaming China because of decades of study of mathematics combined with the records of outside observers and the notes of peer medias, and saying that it's just a reaction to any bad news is a convenient simple story for children?

That doesn't make China look good, and implies that 'China bad' is a strong natural law rather than a political convenience, huh.

To be clear the group's specifically targeting Washington state, and they've got remarkably little public info. I'm very curious who's funding them. Their privacy policy indicates they're planning to take donations and transfer donor contact lists to other groups, so it may just be an R proxy group. They're targeting broadly libertarian economic issues.

edit: interesting, one of two "your story" articles on their site is from the perspective of a gay couple opposed to eminent domain. This may be a Koch network state proxy.

edit 2 : ah, just needed to seach differently:
https://www.pfortytwo.com/

Here's an article on the group, which appears to be a project of the conservative Washington Policy Center:
https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2021/08/17/washington-policy-center-ceo-will-step-down.html

I've not got a full read on their backing but it could be several different conservative groups. There's a strong overlap with staff from marketing firms, which explains some parts of their design.

edit 3: ah, yep, part of the State Policy Network. Note that the group specifically has created a fake news outlet, Franklin News, to launder articles and positions into local and national press.

No. The cartoon isn't saying that western media is the same as Newton. It's contrasting western media with Newton: Newton smart, western media dumb.

The joke is actually that Newton, as a westerner, was full of poo poo and probably stole all his research from some Chinese guy as always.

Hitch's caricature's are just as elaborate as Telnaes' but I never recognize any of them? And for that matter, I generally have no idea what he's talking about. Are his cartoons directed at a specific state?

Or maybe he just has a caricature drawing side-hustle in the city park and he wants everyone to know. "Hey kid, you like roller skates and t-shirts with nonsense phrases? Sure, ya do!"
