Poison Ivy is, I believe, a poorly done caricature of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, whom Ishida also depicted as a secret lizard person giving trans people orders to murder cis white people. :shepface:

Sam Brinton wasn't even anywhere near a major part of the administration, either - looking things up, they were deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition for the Department of Energy. Totally a major behind-the-scenes player somehow, y'all.

No idea who the Dr. Strange is though.

That's what the original post was referring to yes.

I suppose you could have a philosophical debate about whether North and South Vietnam were legitimate states or not and therefore whether North Vietnamese soldiers entering the Republic of Vietnam were invading anything or not, but that wasn't the point. The op's point was how bad of an analogy the cartoonist was making.

I'm also not sure you would win that semantic debate. Did Union armies not invade the Confederacy because both sides were Americans and can't invade themselves? Did South Korea not get invaded since both sides were Korean? Is the DMZ a waste of money since it's logically impossible for North or South Korea to invade the other? Did the Berlin Wall not do anything since Germans fleeing from Germany to Germany couldn't be causing problems for Germany?

Trump’s death will be the most insufferable event imaginable. The man could go on stage and announce he has Stage 4 cancer with a pallet of medical documents backing him up, and we’ll still have multiple conspiracy theories about how Obama poisoned him or Biden had the FBI bathe him in radiation or #TrumpIsNotDead hashtags polluting social media.

Him being in jail will do a lot of the same, but has the benefit of Trump being humiliated and suffering some kind of consequence for his actions.

As for Biden, well, I just don’t like Biden.

Ah so Union Armies didn't invade the Confederacy since it was never internationally recognized, they just got into some scuffles during a stroll to Richmond and it took them longer than they thought to have that picnic at Appomattox

This is fun because Korea was in a similar situation so:
  • Nobody invaded anybody in June 1950, there were just some Koreans from Korea going to Korea
  • In September the UN launched an unprovoked invasion of Korea, landing at Incheon. While they claimed it was North Korea that had committed the illegal invasion this is logically impossible because how can Koreans invade Korea lol.
  • UN forces quickly reached the 38th parallel and crossed it but this was unremarkable since they were already in Korea and simply going from Korea to Korea
  • The Chinese military was able to stop the UN invaders from reaching the Yalu River and drove them back to the 38th parallel but were unable to eject them from the country so Korea is still partially occupied by invading forces.
