I mean I get Ted's point and it's not even wrong, but he managed to gently caress up "Biden isn't doing enough" so badly that his message comes out as "Biden successfully saved this person's life, even if it's not perfect" because like... yeah, losing a limb sucks, but it sucks a lot less than losing two limbs, or getting killed?

VitalSigns posted:

The point is that expecting someone to be grateful that you "only" blew off their leg instead of murdering them is insane.

Also the larger joke is that the whole thing is a liberal fantasy: that the IDF leveling whole neighborhoods and killing 10,000 people is actually thanks to Biden secretly "restraining" Bibi by unprovably whispering contradictions to his public "no red lines for Israel" stance.

Bennett’s still got it, if only occasionally.

I mean the joke is the most basic middle-class American liberal poo poo: Trump dumb baby — but it works because as well as being true (he am dumb baby), he just communicates that idea directly, competently, and humorously, and lets it be. No-one has to be a shrieking baboon; no straight-faced everyman has to be remarking, “Well! I thought I’d seen dumb babies!!”; not every item in the scene has to have two or three contradictory labels attached to it.

Just nice to see some proper cartooning, particularly from the American field, which is on the whole so pitiful.

This one bothers me in a really weird way. It looks more like fanfiction of the Buttigiegs than an actual political cartoon.

But aside from that it's absurdly naive for this day and age.

Probably his best in a long time. He made good use of shapes, too: look at how the baby bottle for the big dumb baby relates to the water bottles used by his lawyers, and how the paperwork contrasts with the big dumb crayon drawings the big dumb baby did.

Yeah since Buttigieg essentially ran on "Gays: They're just like you and me!" back in 2020, this whole cartoon reminds me of that late 00's period where it was slowly dawning on America that LGBTQ people existed who weren't drug-addled gogo dancers. It's weird to see the Normality Argument emphatically made in 2023, and it's even weirder to pretend like a Christian Nationalist who spent decades trying to recriminalize being gay would be swayed by a charming yuppie dinner.

The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but he had fled;
The flame that lit the battle's wreck,
Shone round him o'er the dead.

Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As born to rule the storm;
A creature of heroic blood,
A proud, though childlike form.

The flames rolled on - he would not go,
Without his father's word;
That father, faint in death below,
His voice no longer heard.

He called aloud - 'Say, father, say
If yet my task is done?'
He knew not that the chieftain lay
Unconscious of his son.

'Speak, father!' once again he cried,
'If I may yet be gone!'
- And but the booming shots replied,
And fast the flames rolled on.

Upon his brow he felt their breath
And in his waving hair;
And look’d from that lone post of death,
In still yet brave despair.

And shouted but once more aloud,
'My father! must I stay?'
While o'er him fast, through sail and shroud,
The wreathing fires made way.

They wrapped the ship in splendour wild,
They caught the flag on high,
And streamed above the gallant child,
Like banners in the sky.

There came a burst of thunder sound -
The boy - oh! where was he?
Ask of the winds that far around
With fragments strewed the sea!

With mast, and helm, and pennon fair,
That well had borne their part,
But the noblest thing which perished there,
Was that young faithful heart.

Before the vote tally began Tuesday night, there was a widespread expectation that the 2023 election would bring a sharp swing away from the ideologues who have dominated the Seattle City Council toward a new, more pragmatic set of council members. It appears that is exactly what happened.

Though the slow process of counting mail-in votes still has far to go, it sure looks as if a message has been sent. Currently, in five of the council races, the more moderate candidates hold large leads over their self-proclaimed progressive opponents. In a sixth race, the moderate, Cathy Moore, has been proclaimed the outright winner, while in a seventh, Dan Strauss, an incumbent who backtracked on his more left-leaning impulses, is running behind but is close enough that he might retain his seat once more votes are tabulated.

People might call this a swing to the right, but that would be a big stretch. All the so-called “moderates” are liberal Democrats. One of them, Joy Hollingsworth, has expressed amusement that she – a Black lesbian – would be considered the conservative candidate in her race.

But that’s Seattle; a town where support for public safety is caricatured as reactionary by the more bellicose activists on the left. It is good news that practitioners of bullhorn politics seem to be the big losers in Tuesday’s vote.

To forestall a likely question: this is a reference to the first line of a poem called "Casbianca", about a (theoretically) true incident in which a boy refused to leave his post on a burning ship until ordered to do so by his father, who (unbeknownst to him) had already died. The ship exploded when the fire reached the magazine.

Pretty hateful loving take from McCoy. Biden's administration is perfectly fine with Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people, but I guess it's not enough for McCoy that the US isn't directly exterminating the Palestinian people.

HITLARY CLINTON
Cartoon published 11/10/2023

Hillary opens her mouth and inserts a panzer.

Hillary Clinton continues to make public appearances both on stage and on TV. While on ’The View’ a very bitter Hillary claimed that it would be ’the end of our country as we know it’ if Trump was reelected in 2024. She also compared Trump to Hitler.

Democrats always smear Republican opponents as ’Nazis.’ We’ve heard that for decades. The far-lefties think anyone who is conservative is a fascist bent on lynching and other forms of heartlessness.

However, if anyone resembles Hitler, it is Hillary herself. After all, she lusts for power and world dominion through the creation of wars. She said Trump’s “MAGA extremists” need to go to reeducation camps, i.e., concentration camps. Think that can’t happen? An anti-Hillary meme maker was arrested and sentenced to prison for making fun of Hillary. Hillary says Trump is a threat to ‘our democracy,’ but obviously her democracy doesn’t allow free speech.

Hillary said Trump would use the legal system and invent charges to go after his enemies. What? Does Hillary have no sense of self awareness? Obviously not. She invented the ‘Russia Russia Russia!’ lies and corporate media repeated those lies for many years before it was all disproven—costing taxpayers around $45 million. Hillary faced no consequences. She never does.

Hillary’s biggest supporter has been George Soros. He once admitted that as a 14 year-old in Hungary he helped turn in Jews to the Nazis. Whether or not this is true, Soros is indeed a destroyer. He enjoyed bringing about economic havoc to countries while raking in a fortune. He once said that he would like to be ‘God.’ He is still destroying today—he finances candidates who don’t believe in law and order.

One of his favorite candidates was Hillary Clinton. He must have known she was bent on destruction because he has repeated given her campaigns many millions of dollars. He recognizes within her a fellow traveler.

If anyone is a Nazi, it’s ‘Hitlery’ Clinton.

Kellies Nomination: Most Easily Reinterpreted

The Seattle Times posted:

While the city positions are nonpartisan and it is not a perfect split, the candidates — like the current council — largely fall into one of two groups of Democrats. There are self-proclaimed progressives likely to vote in favor of more housing density, taxes and alternatives to policing, and there are more moderate candidates often more supportive of policing and maybe more conservative on development and taxes.

Sarah Grace Taylor's editorial posted:

Older voter participation declined only slightly compared with the last similar off-year election, in 2019. The number of voters 65 and older, the largest voting bloc, was down about 6% from 2019, according to ballot return stats.

But young voting plunged. Voters ages 25 to 34 dropped off by 27% compared with 2019. The number of ballots returned by the 18-to-24 set, known to be the most progressive group, fell by 31% countywide.
[...]
There’s no way of knowing how these missing Seattleites might have voted. But their absence almost certainly contributed to a big swing away from the left. The center-left candidates may win up to five of the seven council seats on the ballot — some of them in squeaker contests.
