Conservative A: :bahgawd: Goddamn Democrats and their weakness! Good thing we have a new sheriff in town. That MOAB drop and Tomahawk strike sure showed our enemies, and I'm sure glad we're taking a hard stance with North Korea.

Conservative B: :derp: loving interventionalist war-hawking DEMOCRATS! Why do they want to bomb and intervene so much? We aren't the world police!


At what point in the future do sides A and B of the GOP realize they're actually at odds with each other? Never?

Since Dees is no artist he's definitely nicked that Kim portrait from someone. No luck in finding the original though.

Just took a shot of his head from Getty or wherever, make it grey, then draw lines on it. I'm sure his artistry can stretch to that.

Why are all the Brits so much better at drawing these cartoons than Americans? Do they have standards or something?

I think it's because we've got a handful of nationals with a cartoonist on staff and a very undernourished local press who can't afford to run cartoons, so you don't get these guns for hire out there trying to provide cartoons for as cheap as possible.

Last time I checked the French economy is good enough that the common people are well off enough they can even afford cake, so way to go with loving up the context of that quote.

You seem to have missed that the cake, in this cartoon, is open boarders. I'm not going to claim that the metaphor tracks all the way through, it's really just a french thing to say devoid of meaning there, but the cartoon is not invalidated by a french janitor being able to buy a slice of cake.

The cartoon seemed to refer to whitewashing in the racial sense. Thus the Japanese or East Asian equivalent of whitewashing. Also, keep in mind that Hollywood does its thing because they believe it would be most profitable that way, so it isn't necessarily relevant that there are actors of all kinds of backgrounds available.

They don't do this racist thing because they're racist, just because it makes money.

Is there the reverse phenomenon of Americans talking about the NHS when British talk about re-privatizing the mail, and they point to the USPS? Or do people just go "gently caress you it was public for 499 years and it's been even slightly private for 6 go eat a dick and die"?

You've got it backwards and to be fair, the cartoon's confusing. Corbyn is proposing DE-privatizing (aka nationalizing) the Royal Mail, Energy, and the NHS. He's also against Tuition fees which again may not come across in that cartoon. We had a national Royal Mail up until like, 2010, when it was sold off in an attempt to get some ready cash. There wasn't really a debate because it was a foregone conclusion. The longest trail in the news was lambasting Vince Cable, the (LibDem) business secretary, who had priced the shares to move - they resold for something like half as much again a month later.

searching for "Western Workers Party" brings up a LOT of Facebook pages (w/ a very high response rate!) for various national branches - WWP US, Germany, UK. No France oddly enough but a lot of pro-Lepen stuff on their main page. They present as a political party but I see no evidence of them actually being one, but they upload a lot of memes, some of which are fairly wild



(cropping not mine, it came like that)

There's also a lot of altright memes, praising Strong Men, Traditional Marriage and warning how Islamic immigration always ends in a subjugating hoard, but that's not fun enough to warrant uploading. I also found a podcast where strange-skulled White Nationalist Matt Forney interviews the founder, a man calling himself Steele Archer. Searching for that (outrageously fake) name brings up an abandoned gofundme and this, perhaps telling card for some 2014 Boardgame I've never heard of called Doomtown.


Huckster, 2

So why does Dees mention this no-name party which exists only on Facebook and the avaricious dreams of an "Entrepreneur"? I would guess it's because he's a mentally ill conspiracy theorist who spends far too much time on White Nationalist forums.

The only 2 week delays I can think of in this thread are Drinky Duck and possibly Prickly City - both of which are syndicated newspaper comic strips like Garfield, which through very strong custom or possibly contractual obligation have to have a backlog and therefore a delay. When Morrie Turner of Wee Pals died, his strip ran for another 6 months.
Heaven forefend anything get in the way of more great "covfefe" content though.
