Bill Leak was a vile human being, but given that he became this way after severe head trauma I can't really hold him accountable for his actions and definitely not celebrate his death.

At least he's no longer a mockery of the man he once was.

I disagree, he was obviously lucid enough to know what he was saying and that it offended people (because it was incredibly racist)

Wait, was it a stroke that made Tila Tequila go full Nazi mode? I just assumed she was always lovely and that she finally just went public with it.

Yup, from what I recall, she attempted suicide, and was saved, but something about her method caused her some serious brain damage, hence her... Conflicting political views.

Odd, since "LMAO The God-Emperor Trump is confusing the media by saying blatantly contradictory and untrue things! WE'RE WINNING SO HARD" seems to be the message of the cartoon, and that's a straight-out-of-reddit alt-right talking point.

Saying that the media is dumb isn't just a trumpist position. I mean just look what happened ~a week ago, Trump made a speech without making GBS threads his pants and the big channels like CNN were furiously jerking off about how Trump became a president there and then. Most people here (DnD, CSPAM) mocked the hell out of them and rightfully so, as Trump resumed his pant-making GBS threads routine the very next day.

"The media got played by Trump" is a fairly standard talking point and has been since someone first tried to figure out how Trump managed to spend so little on advertising

Managed to read this as "Trump made a speech about making GBS threads his pants" and I was like "huh, I must have missed that one" but it still didn't seem THAT out of character

Not for the first time. Despite absolutely being the kind of person who should love Trump, Tinsley appears to not like Trump. Go figure.

I think Bill Buckley was the last person whom Tinsley genuinely liked and admired, and since his death there's been basically no one who's lived up to the standards of that resentful alcoholic hack.

"Men are dopey, helpless creatures who cannot handle even the most basic child care tasks" is not exactly a feminist-friendly message, Marlette. (If nothing else, it provides an excuse for constantly fobbing off childcare on women.)

I think they were mentioned in the sense that they can get around their encryption by just hacking the device instead. They haven't actually been compromised despite what Todd Rall & the press say.

I think what infuriates me most about Rall isn't the wanton contrarianism, the narcissism, the intense laziness of his chicken-scratches...but it's the fact that he doesn't know what colour humans are. Did Trump dunk his face in a vat of plum jam? Does Rall know you can change the colour palette in MS Paint?

Didn't he blame purple Obama on his (possibly non-existent) colorist?

For whatever reason, the AAEC website runs a few cartoonists through a dayglo filter. Here's the version on Rall's site:

Still bad, but noticeably less head-shop-worthy. They do the same thing with Ed Gamble. His normally astroturf-green oceans are made into radioactive Mountain Dew on the AAEC page.
