I pretty much already do this for Dees. Some others probably have de facto dedicated posters too but I never paid much attention to who posts what.

I follow Bennett, Bors, and Sorensen on Facebook, and I really like getting the scoop on their new cartoons and posting them before anyone else can, but I never really saw the need to formalize that :shrug:

Lolling at "stop Obama" and the fact that Branco thinks his ideas are different from the GOP establishment's in any way. "Why are you just trying to maintain the status quo when you COULD be 'stopping' this politician from changing the status quo???"

e: of his five "good ideas", two of them are "maintain status quo" in buzzwordier diction, one is a return to an EARLIER status quo, one is a joke, and one would basically destroy the country

Pretty much. Don't get me wrong leftist cartoonists do it all the time too but Tinsley takes it to a whole new way more spiteful level.

All I'm saying is that it's pretty goddamn hypocritical of him to cry "coverup" because Gruber's soundbite didn't get Obama impeached or whatever, when he himself has literally published strips which flat-out say "YOU, THE PERSON READING THIS, DO NOT VOTE BECAUSE YOU ARE A DUMB"

Y'know, I'm beginning to suspect that the slowdown is actually the NYPD's way of responding to criticism without looking like they're caving to pressure. As Bors pointed out, it is a move toward more liberal policing practices, but this way they can still act like they're standing up to the mayor and stuff!

Just to prevent Kirschen's talking-out-of-his-rear end from spreading misinformation here: he's not speaking for Jews or even non-ultra-Orthodox Israelis. We use the Gregorian calendar like everyone else in existence. Kirschen isn't even ultra-Orthodox or particularly religious himself so I guess he's just going for special-snowflake points here???

The Hebrew calendar does crop up as a secondary calendar of sorts in Israel but is rarely used for reasons other than determining when holidays are held including Israeli state holidays like Rabin Memorial Day; it's similar to the traditional Japanese calendar in that respect.

Ok cool so he is straight-up flat-out saying that what he wants is a new crusade against the entire Islamic world, just making sure

How does he think that would work exactly? We declare war on every single country with a Muslim majority and... then do what? What are our goals in this imagined war, apart from mass conversion to Christianity or genocide? Does he think we could just impose democracy? Even if we could, what would that accomplish? None of the people behind this attack or any other was a state actor; changing a government somewhere wouldn't stop them but the war that would require WOULD really piss them off.

Do they really have to put Star-of-David bumper stickers on the sides of their assault rifles? We GET it, Mossad. They're Jewish guns. Stop belaboring the point. :rolleyes: Not quite as bad as the hideous Mossad seals on the front of their ski masks, though. Not only are they ugly, they're counter-intuitive.
