There was a rant to this effect on The Worst Things for Sale -- it got a little too into the topic but expressed a similar sentiment. To be honest the predominating message thus far has been "2016 sucked... and all signs are 2017 will be worse because Trump."

The cartoons of his less talented son Monty Wolverton are posted here sometimes.

Good thing "free stuff" is only a strawman cheer you use to mock your opponents and has never been an actual rallying cry for democratic voters. Ah yes, James Comey, well known for his love of Hillary Clinton, whom he will defend at all costs. I do so enjoy these cartoons posted from loving Bizarro World.

quote:Two news events in February were all about freedom. One firm launched the world's cheapest smartphone, priced at 251 rupees ($3.67; £3), and called it Freedom 251. At the same time, police arrested some students in Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University for allegedly raising anti-India slogans, and demanding "freedom" for Kashmir from Indian rule. The students denied the allegations, but they were charged with sedition. Later, they were freed on bail. quote:India's flamboyant businessman Vijay Mallya made his fortune selling beer under the Kingfisher brand and branched out into aviation, Formula1 racing, and Indian cricket. But he incurred huge debts because of the failure of his airline. Many have criticised banks for their inability in recovering the debt from Mr Mallya, who denies any wrongdoing. He is currently living in the UK, and hasn't returned to India despite repeated summons by the authorities. quote:When the chief minister of the eastern state of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, promised during his election campaign that he would ban the sale and consumption of alcohol if elected, not many thought he would actually do it. But then he proved everybody wrong! quote:When Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office in 2014, he promised to change the country. But his critics say that he has been concentrating more on foreign policy, and travelling the world. quote:In one of the biggest surprises of 2016, Mr Modi on 8 November announced the scrapping of 500 and 1,000 rupee notes to crack down on corruption and illegal cash holdings known as "black money". The sudden announcement made many people's cash worthless.

I love how most of these could be actual functional jokes if the artist had put even the slightest amount of effort into thinking about how cartoons can be structured. Instead, thirty seconds followed by "gently caress it, let's sprinkle around some papers". good work

What, they didn't get several months to bring their deprecated bank notes to a bank for exchanging them to smaller notes? Or were there just a lot of people who missed the memo until it was too late?

Cat Mattress posted:What, they didn't get several months to bring their deprecated bank notes to a bank for exchanging them to smaller notes? Or were there just a lot of people who missed the memo until it was too late? It was and continues to be chaotic and ruinous to India's economy - first off large parts of India are underdeveloped so you can't just go to the nearest ATM because there is no electricity in your village, like 3% of people pay income tax and many don't have bank accounts at all and most people keep all their savings in cash. Then on top of that you have huge cues to banks and ATMs running out of money after which withdraw quotas were put in place and most of the current ATMs not even capable of handling the new bills because the dimensions are so different... all of a sudden people have no legal tender to buy anything, or to pay workers their wages with. And possessing the old bills will become illegal in April. quote:A salesman of a shop selling mobile phones in an upscale Delhi suburb told me that a man walked up to his shop on Wednesday with 3 million rupees in cash and offered to buy up his entire stock of iPhones. (He said the owner balked, and shut shop.) A politician in Bihar walked into a jewellery shop and bought gold ornaments worth 20 million rupees. In Kolkata, a dengue patient reportedly settled his 40,000 rupees hospital bills in coins. quote:A builder in the capital has apparently paid his daily wage workers two years of advance salaries with the expired cash, leaving his workers to exchange the money. Relatives with expired money at home are calling friends and relatives and asking if they can deposit some of their money into their accounts. Then there's my favourite story of a doctor who had some cash at home which he planned to turn over to the bank, and then discovered to his dismay that his wife had squirreled away six times the amount in her cupboard. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/india-currency-chaos-rupee-bank-narendra-modi-atm-cash-tax-evasion-a7503681.html http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-37947029

Holy gently caress. Like, there's a joke political party in New Zealand, that was active until 1999. The McGillicuddy Serious Party. One of its proposed policy changes was enforcing driving on the right-hand side of the road, to be phased in over the course of four years, starting with the heaviest vehicles. They are somehow more reasonable than what is actually going on in India if Nenonen's info is correct.

He draws this comic as though a HRC victory wouldn't have resulted in a two-month arc about Hunny Bunny's fourth reich and the ultimate triumph of evil Like, I'd take it seriously if I was able to convince myself that today's strip in the Clinton Timeline would have been about how they're not thrilled that the character the strip had been building up for years as a literal supervillain has attained ultimate executive power, but hey at least that stinky skunk Trump didn't win, because man would that have been worse. But I don't believe that would be Stantis/Allie's reaction for even one second. like, what outcome was he hoping for, that Gary Johnson would win because 97% of the electorate became bedridden at the same time
