He probably does think she's either trans or a lesbian, and not just some rear end in a top hat cop who got mad that someone called them something they thought was insulting. Ishida considers cops "woke" because they don't spend 100% of their time hunting down and exterminating LGBT+ people.

Vib Rib posted:As has already been pointed out, when people say we're sending however many billions to Ukraine, it's actually things being sent, and those things are valued at those prices. We're not sending that amount of money in briefcases of cash. It's primarily military hardware and munitions. So things that wouldn't help Hawaii much. We can spend money on other things than tanks and missiles. That's what money is for, to be exchanged for goods and services. We can send more money to Hawaii, we aren't out of money. And even if we had to offset the money, we could cut the money budgeted for next year's order of tanks and missiles. A military budget that keeps increasing forever, no matter how in love we are with using accounting tricks to claim we aren't "spending" money on war in Ukraine since we already bought the tanks. That's what people mean when they compare the money being "spent" on more wars with the money being spent to help out country recover from a natural disaster.

It's just an accounting trick. Ok let's spend $20 billion on tanks and missiles we don't need. Ok now that we have $20 billion in tanks and missiles we don't need, it's "free" to send them to Ukraine. Ok now we need to plus up next year's military budget to replace the $20 billion of tanks and missiles we don't need. Oh man we can't afford to fix a natural disaster, we can only do "free" stuff like send tanks and missiles all over the earth.

Wait, why did they turn into statues? Does he think all fires work the same way as the volcano that erupted over Pompeii? Does he think the fire was caused by a volcano because Hawaii = volcanos?

The right wing has spend a good decade or so just slowly absorbing conspiracy theorists into their mainstream. COVID really pushed that forward as the executives wanted pushback against lockdowns and anything that could hurt the Holy Number. We’re at point where literally every major event can’t just happen through relatively benign means, but needs some shadowy motives behind it. poo poo, the whole “Obama is secretly gay” thing popped up this month.

Do you think if there really was a heaven that people in there will just be reduced to what job they did in life? Like if Gordon Ramsay died and went to heaven he would have to turn angels into master chefs for all eternity or be forced to cook for the heavenly host without the lamb sauce being there?

I AM GRANDO posted:Didn’t Fishman start out being more moderate than Tinsley, or at least start out prioritizing jokes? His first few cartoons did infact have actual jokes and weren't immediately swinging for the racism fences, which led to a lot of thread optimists hoping that maybe Fishman would be more of a moderate, if not secretly left of center.

Theoretically, he was more moderate; there were interviews where he claimed to be, in fact. It's not clear if he was just lying or had so few political convictions that he didn't mind selling his soul. (And, functionally, it doesn't matter that much.)

L. Ron DeSantis posted:Can anyone explain what this is about? I'm guessing it's one of those hyper-localised Minnesota issues that Branco occasionally gets paid to scribble about. The Walker Art Center is a museum/library in Minneapolis, so either there's something queer/queer adjacent scheduled there, or it's more of a general screed about modern art. "Can you believe they're spending your precious tax dollars on degenerate art?" -edit: I decided to look it up. From the site that paid Branco from his bullshit: quote:The Walker Art Center held a pagan ritual geared toward families last weekend, with a performance called “Lilit the Empathic Demon.” So they did hold a 'demon summoning session' that anyone with two brain cells and a sense of humour would know was meant entirely tongue-in-cheek.

Tamar Ettun Bio posted:Amongst other long term projects, Ettun’s multidisciplinary work Lilit the Empathic Demon has since 2020 explored the insidious side of empathy, empathy fatigue, trauma-healing modalities, and astrology as storytelling through text messages to a growing community of people and most recently a new outdoor sculpture for Shelburne Museum, Vermont. Ettun is currently developing a piece for Free First Saturdays at the Walker Art Center. Edit: It also appears to be heavily rooted in Judaic occultism, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with Branco's reaction. I'm not kidding, I'm pretty sure he didn't do any research beyond hearing about a 'playful demon summoning' at an art center and drew the comic.

The idea that Joe would want to kill the person who can legally bring in millions of dollars on the family name because it's slightly embarrassing politically when the other party complains that his hand is in the cookie jar is hilarious. Hunter isn't a problem for Joe! You can be as corrupt as you want, there's no consequences! The other party will never punish you for it because they do the same thing! There's no public pressure against you because politics has turned into rooting for the home sports team and 40% of the country will defend any amount of corruption as long as you wear their color tie, and for the few voters that care what are they gonna do, vote for the other color team who are just as bad if not worse? It's like drawing a cartoon of Clarence Thomas wanting to kill his mom or Donald Trump wanting to kill Jared Kushner for taking all that free money from billionaires. That's a perk of the office!

Tibalt posted:It seems that even Lilit the Empathic Demon is a 'bad guy' and the whole exhibit is about trapping and coming to terms with the 'inner demons' that plague in you in different ways. True, but we have the luxury of interpreting the world in such a way that we recognize this context and do not actually think that participants are literally summoning demons straight from the pit of Christian Hell. People like Branco (or, at least the people he's appealing to) don't think that way. To them, demons are real, and Lilit the Empathic Demon is going to lead these kids straight into The Pit, so the fact that tax dollars are being spent on this legit real demon-summoning is shameful and proof that we are in the Last Days.
