 Pope:  Dutton is preparing everyone for his launch of a policy. Wilcox:  Rowe:  Spooner:  It is fascinating to imagine how much conservative news Spooner must mainline to marinate his brain so badly he outputs cartoons like this for an Australian audience.

 * April and December 2023 had a lower black unemployment rate, both in percentage and real numbers. April and May 2023 for Hispanics, again, in percentage and real numbers. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU04000009 ** Why is cutting back on renewable energy good? Only if you're Spooner, I guess. *** There was no "aid" to Iran. Iran had assets that were seized in 1979 during/after the revolution, and those assets were unfrozen by the US-Iran deal that Trump tore apart. **** True; his hateful rhetoric caused more emigration of Mexican immgrants than arrival of them. I suppose an Australian cartoonist saying "he stopped the boats, gently caress them browns" shouldn't be surprising. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/08/20/key-findings-about-u-s-immigrants/ ***** Only before 2020, at which point trade had resumed to near 2016 levels. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5700.html He did this largely through a trade war that drove up prices and unemployment, costing nearly a quarter million jobs https://carnegieendowment.org/chinafinancialmarkets/83746 with most of the cost of tariffs falling on American consumers. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmblr/vol12/iss2/2/ ******* Not for lack of trying, having assassinated an Iranian general, expanded operations in Syria to grab oil fields https://apnews.com/article/251062e322ab4bba99251fe59c90540a, and sent a hosed-up task force to start something with Venezuela. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gideon_(2020) All in all: gently caress you Spooner, you giant lying racist piece of poo poo.

Illegal migration slowed, the price of gas went down and obnoxiously obvious wars weren't started during Trump's term, those are just objective facts. The difference in our political affiliations seems to be we give a poo poo how that was accomplished. The end always justifies the means to these ghouls and also the end is white and rich people having more poo poo than everyone else, the bigger the gap the better, and yes you can gently caress whitey too if the black guy down the street suffers sufficiently more

Trapezium Dave posted:Spooner: Can't bring himself to write the words "Trump is a liar", even coming out of the Trump-hating character's mouth. "He can be inaccurate and boastful" — whoa, whoa, hey now, let's not say things we can't take back! Also:
The thing is, he's got Trump looking evil as poo poo and the dog looking quizzical at him, trying to make sense of the strange human — I'm sure Spooner thinks he's produced a balanced, even-handed cartoon here, sensibly acknowledging that yes, yes, he's certainly a colourful figure — goodness yes! — and can be divisive, but also wisely and bravely pointing out that hmmm, you know, if you consider his actions objectively, etc. etc. crusty wank Anyway, yeah, he draws about some extremely domestic American political poo poo that has zero relevance for him and his audience in Australia, and it's weird and sucks. Senility approaches. Go outside, Spooner. (Apropos of nothing, I still hate Mark Knight the most because his Albanese caricature looks nothing like Albanese, yet he persists with it. Drives me crazy every time. He's just decided, "Anthony Albanese must look like this, because I have drawn a stupid-looking man, and that's what he is!")

Well I'm sure Herridge being in contempt of court is purely another example of lawfare targeting conservative-- Oh, she was involved in leaked federal secrets, violated the privacy act, incriminated a private citizen to defame her, and refused to reveal the source of the FBI leak when the court demanded she do it?

Vincent Van Goatse posted:What the gently caress? A Prick City strip containing a clear, coherent, and self-contained take on an issue? Prckly City has been consistently Anti-Trump, we can give it that much. Now, if you expect them to elaborate on why, they don't go much further that he's embarrassing and has bad vibes, because the author likely has no convictions or strongly held principles. It's just one side of the 'both are bad and cringe' coin for him. The strips never go into issues like human rights, immigration, actual wars, supreme court, political violence, etc. It's just the most shallow regurgitating of the last meme or gaffe. Stantis is the equivalent of an enviromentalist that thinks he addressed the issue by painting his SUV green.

I think you forgot the word 'American' in there somewhere. Other than that, okay for a Prickly City, I guess. At least it's saying something. Alright, that's kind of funny.

Pope:  Rowe:  Super to be added to paid parental leave from next year (ABC). That's treasurer Jim Chalmers, finance minister Katy Gallagher, and deputy opposition leader Sussan Ley with Peter Dutton. Wilcox:  Katauskas:  Simon Kennedy wins preselection for Liberals in seat of Cook following Scott Morrison's resignation (ABC). There was pressure to pick a woman for the very safe seat given how badly the Liberals need them but naturally they picked a bloke who failed to win a seat in 2022 and doesn't live in the area. Knight:  On the Extinction Rebellion protesters that blocked the West Gate Bridge in Melbourne. Golding:  Matildas captain Sam Kerr is facing a court case on the charge of racially harassing a British police officer by allegedly calling them a "stupid white bastard".
