It's reductionist as hell, because Biden isn't just old. His brain is swiss cheese. He is experiencing noticeable cognitive decline.
Old is one thing, outright senility is another.

And that's to say nothing of "Oh, well obviously only one candidate is evil" when they're both wretched pieces of poo poo and the debate has been about which one is the "lesser" evil since 2020.

Look at that traced clip art. A bloody handprint on the front of the trophy that remains straight even as it goes around the side of it. "Confetti" littered that is literally the shape tool with a color fill, copied&pasted dozens of times along with copied&pasted bullet shells, none of which have any weight and a bunch of which are, unchanged, dropped on the bottom of the trophy. Look at that shell on the lower right corner of the base of the trophy! It is literally overlapping the trophy but has the same angles as the other bullets! And the litter is designed in such a way as to seem like you're looking at it from the top down, while the trophy is from the bottom up! And it's literally copied from the first link available in Google! https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url...QAAAAAdAAAAABAI

To top it off, this is Stiglich, whose response to a mass shooting is "obviously this was caused by a poor DA who doesn't lock up every criminal for life"

This is the political cartooning equivalent of those "thoughts & prayers" e-mails GOP politicians send off when a mass shooting happens.

FANI WILLIS’ CREDIBILITY IS DESTROYED. YOU BETTER BELIZE IT.
Cartoon published 02/15/2024

Fani Willis and her boyfriend Wade took lovely vacations to Aruba, Belize and Florida. Amazingly, all on the same continent—although Fani wouldn’t know that.

Much was revealed at the evidentiary hearing about alleged misconduct of Soros-backed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as the judge weighs evidence on whether Willis should be disqualified from the Trump RICO case. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

“I think it’s clear that disqualification can occur if evidence is produced demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one,” Judge McAfee said in Monday’s hearing. “The state has admitted a relationship existed. And so what remains to be proven is the existence and extent of any financial benefit, again if there even was one. And so because I think its possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification, I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations.”

Fani Willis took the witness stand on Thursday, and she was hostile, arrogant, and showed her intelligence as she could not name the continent that Belize was located on. She also revealed a taste for ‘Grey Goose’ vodka and stashing stacks of cash in her home. Her boyfriend, Nathan Wade, also took the stand and testified under oath that he paid for all the vacations he took with Fani Willis and Fani reimbursed him in CASH for expenses. No one bothered to keep the receipts.

Fani’s credibility was destroyed because she lied to the court. Therefore, she should be disqualified.


Fani takes the stand once again on Friday morning. Considering what happened on Thursday, Friday should be very interesting.

New York Kangaroo Court Fines Trump $355 Million

Cartoon published 02/17/2024

In a trial as ugly as Judge Engoron’s face, Trump was found guilty of being the biggest threat to the Deep State’s Joe Biden. Charged with financial fraud that never existed, the corrupt judge ruled Trump must pay over $350 million dollars—even though there was neither a crime nor a victim. Testimony showed that the bank who loaned trump money was paid back faster than expected and very happy with Trump as their client, but the judge said Trump overstated his collateral. Engoron abused his position as judge and made up figures out of his imagination. He invented a crime out of his imagination as well. What a crock. What an outrage. What a farce! It resembled a Soviet show trial.

New York Attorney General Letitia James ran on the platform of ‘getting Trump.’ She colluded with her ally, the anti-Trump Engoron, to achieve that goal, which consisted of humiliating Trump in the eyes of the voters, and in the process deliver a big financial blow to the former President. What they have done amounts to election interference. The Democrats are always mewling about their ‘democracy,’ but if necessary they’ll happily trample upon it to achieve their goals. That includes warping and tramping on our system of justice.

Judge Engoron loved mugging for the TV cameras throughout the trial and he became downright gleeful when delivering his decision. Biased and corrupt, he actually laughed as he served up the verdict.

Trump will appeal the decision and he will probably win unless the next tier is corrupt as Engoron’s court. Is the Supreme Court also corrupt? When personal prejudice overrides written law, then there’s not much hope for our country. If the decision is allowed to stand, the Democrats will be emboldened to go after anyone who poses a remote threat to their rule.

The Marxist Democrats, with the help of the Uni-party RINO Republicans, want permanent control. Their operatives populate the FBI, CIA, and the NSA and many other government departments. It’s known as the ‘Deep State.’ Democrat operatives also exist in the court system—especially in the blue states. They have rigged the voting system. Everything has been weaponized against their adversaries. The United States now resembles the old Soviet Union. The Soviet, er, Democrat Party will be emboldened to crush their opposition if this decision is allowed to stand.

Trump is our last hope to make America great again—and they can’t stand that he might regain office. They worry that even with dead people voting and their mail-in ballot fraud scheme…it may not be enough.

Our Founding Fathers would be very disappointed if they could see just how far America has fallen. Our borders are wide open while we are engaged in foreign wars and entanglements. Criminals are allowed to go free, while innocent citizens such as Trump are harassed with law-fare. If our legal institutions are corrupt and it’s only further proof that our nation has fallen.

Our Republic is being replaced by a banana republic.

Oh, good, nice to see we went there. I mean, it's not surprising, since we already went everywhere else.



I'll say this for Ishida: he keeps on finding worse ways to engage with pronouns than That One Joke.



A good cartoon.

(Also: Gandalf, notably someone that can be killed.)



I'm now wondering if he thought this pun up first and then wrote the whole rest of this arc to contain it.



I think Ishida has some serious misapprehensions about what most people would want heaven to be like.



Orcs are, very literally, demon spawn, so we're back to "it turns out immigrants were demons and/or aliens all along". Do I need to keep pointing out that this is all being said by someone whose name is Tatsuya Ishida?



Could we maybe, like, stick to one metaphor for how people are evil for a while? A year or two, perhaps? They're already demons and supervillains and now I guess they're ringwraiths too. But you can only see that if you... give in to Zionism? I don't even loving know.


I'd also like to take a moment to say that JRR Tolkien was at one point (about a year before WW2 started in earnest, I believe) contacted by the Nazi government to have his work published as pure Aryan fiction. (A lot of people think Lord of the Rings is a metaphor for the second World War. It's not, or at least Tolkien always maintained that it wasn't; he had most of the major plot elements down before WWII even happened; it is, of course, informed by Tolkien's personal experiences in the first World War, which is why his opinion of war in general is so negative.) In any event, he gave his publishers two letters with which they could respond to the Nazis, one polite and one not polite, and told them they could send whichever one they wanted. It's not entirely clear which one they sent, but this is the one they didn't send:

JRR Tolkien posted:

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter. I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject — which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.

Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearing whatsoever on the merits of my work or its sustainability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung.

I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and

remain yours faithfully,

J. R. R. Tolkien

I like to imagine that this is the polite version. Anyway, just thought that might be worth mentioning as we get into more antisemitic Tolkien stuff. That's not to say there wasn't an element of (possibly unconscious) antisemitism in his depiction of dwarves (whom he definitely thought of as being Jewish), but he would be absolutely appalled at what Tatsuya is doing with his work here, and not just for artistic reasons.
