Lightfoot's one of those targets where the fact that she lost is more important than any details surrounding it. It doesn't matter who beats her as long as she has been beaten.

Pretty much this, although he seems to stick to cheerleading wars. Danziger has used this character before, but he's generally kind enough to write "WAR" on his helmet. Not sure why he didn't this time; I doubt enough people are sufficiently serious students of Danziger Lore to catch on.

Never particularly liked the idea of personifying war in this way. It shifts the responsibility for war and all the associated death and suffering to some malevolent supernatural entity instead of the ordinary jackass politicians and demagogues like Putin, who are the ones actually responsible. It's exculpatory even though it doesn't intend to be.

KIIIRRRYYYUUUUU CHAAAANNNNNN
I'm not going to post the latest one but the other two don't have slurs in them so...

Newest conspiracy theory: John Fetterman is actually dead.


quote:

WHERE’S JOHN FETTERMAN?

Senator John Fetterman has been missing for quite some time. His aides say he’s on the ‘path to recovery,’ but nobody knows when he might fully recover. It could take weeks—or so they say.

Fetterman suffered a serious stroke that should have had him cancelling his campaign for the Senate. It was obvious to everyone that he was seriously impaired. Instead, he was propped up by ambitious Democrats—including his wife—and then he won an election against a weak Republican candidate, Mehmet Oz—a TV celebrity, surgeon, and multi-millionaire. We at GrrrGraphics felt Kathy Barnette should have been the Republican nominee based on her MAGA stances, but Trump decided to endorse Oz instead. Geraldo Rivera loved Dr. Oz—a bad sign, at least for us.

Despite needing a computer monitor to interpret speech he was hearing and despite his abysmal perfornance during his debate with Oz, Fetterman somehow won the election. (Was it rigged?)

Now that he’s a Senator, he found he could not function. He went to the hospital fearing another stroke, but was released. He went back again—this time for ‘clinical depression,’ which is said to be a side effect of a serious stroke. Will he ever overcome his health predicament? Did he die of another stroke? We may never know. His wife, Gisele Barreto Fetterman, decided to leave the country and go on a vacation. What wife would do that when her husband was struggling in the hospital? Again, did John Fetterman die? Is he sleeping with the fishes? Are the Democrats covering up the news while they search for a look-alike to fill Fetterman’s extra-large shoes? Unlike Hillary and Biden, it must be difficult to find a deep fake impersonator to match the hulking Fetterman.

The blame goes to the Democrats for abusing someone who has been suffering serious health issues. Fetterman could barely function, but the Democrats knew he would be a prop who would rubber stamp their decisions. Biden is the same way. It’s elder-abuse to make Joe run for another term.

Maybe Fetterman could be Joe’s running mate. Mixed vegetables.

quote:

LORI LIGHTFOOT RIDES OFF INTO THE RACIST SUNSET

Chicago dumps the worst mayor in its long history of corrupt mayors.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot finished third in Tuesday’s election with 16.89% of the vote, behind former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas at 33.95% and Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson with 20.32%.

Lori thinks it’s because of racism that she lost. Lightfoot responded to her loss by yanking out the race card.

“I’m a black woman in America — of course,” was her lame excuse.

Where did all these new racists suddenly pop up in Chicago? Lightfoot barely got 17% of the vote. When Lightfoot was first elected as the first gay black woman ever elected Mayor of Chicago, she garnered an impressive 73% of the votes.

Looks like Lori is another diversity hire gone terribly wrong!

Maybe Lori lost because her opponent, Paul Vallas, ran on law and order, which were absent under Lightfoot’s term as mayor.

“Public safety is the fundamental right of every American. It is a civil right, and it is the principle responsibility of government. We will have a safe Chicago. We will make Chicago the safest city in America,” Vallas said during his speech on Tuesday.

Violent crime and the murder rate skyrocketed under Mayor Lightfoot’s reign. Lightfoot blamed the victims instead of the criminals. People have had enough of the ‘Beetlejuice’ doppelgänger.

Lightfoot became a sadistic Covid tyrant during the scamdemic. She threatened to arrest and throw people in jail if they broke her lockdown rules. Yet for tyrants, those same rules do not apply. Lightfoot famously broke her own lockdown rules when she went out and got a haircut.

Her excuse was, “I am a public figure and need to look good.” In other words, ‘You common folk stay locked up at home while I enjoy my freedom.’

‘Rules for thee and not for me’ in action.

America’s worst mayor Lori Lightfoot will now ride off into her racist sunset.

Look I usually post these without much thought because they're just stupid ramblings of an idiot, but the vitriol in this week which is exclusively on trans-bashing made me pause. They're usually diluted with other dumb poo poo but just a solid week of scare tactics is a lot.

So take this as a content warning, because it's particularly unbearable this week. I haven't seen the Garrison but I don't how what he did comes off as worse.

Yeah, there's a magic filter that can change you into anything that you want, yet the trans characters all have obvious telltale signs that just happen to align perfectly with what transphobes think.

Just a perfect storm of "we can always tell" and "real women are hairless and feminine with a certain body shape and conduct themselves properly", so can probably add Least Concealed Bigotry: Misogyny

It’s also racism in that, as some of the cartoons show, Lightfoot being a gay black woman leads some conservatives to assert that she was a “diversity hire” chosen by voters entirely due to her identify, and therefore her failure as a mayor is 100% proof that you should never hire or elect anything other than straight white men.
