This is going to be incredibly, stupidly difficult to judge.

Would it be wrong to submit Garrison cartoons to basically every category?

2017 is the year we leave casual nihilism behind and do the things we believe in without fearing death, because if we die doing those things, at least our lives weren't wasted.

So far as I know, there's really only been one serious attempt, and he wasn't even an American.

Pseudoliberal aging white male hipster Bernouts wealthy enough to own a bigass TV and cable (holy poo poo the first panel) think:
--identity politics constitutes a major problem as opposed to something to advance
-- it's totally a case of overblown "political correctness" that ails the USA, not literal neo-nazism and self-identifying white nationalists
-- it's the liberal elites, not the president elect that is installing the richest administration comprised of ex-lobbyists, bankers, and party family dons any democratic nation has ever on this Earth seen, that don't care about the working class.

I get where there's points to be made where the Dem candidate was a pistol shot in the party's own foot but and that discussion has been done and re-done and re-done here and elsewhere to death, but Lord Jesus this is AGC :suicide:

Where do cartoonists get the idea that the Nobel Prizes are hanging from a ribbon around the recipients' neck like that? I've seen it in a couple of other places as well, like one cartoon by Ruben Bolling.

For reference:

One explanation I would like to offer is "White identitarian / white nationalist cartoonist doesn't actually do research, tweets and draws about critical reasoning anyway."

They've seen Obama wearing his Nobel Prize around his neck for the full eight years of his presidency and assume it came that way.

Given how much the following image and its peers were floating around conservative press with rage at the time, there isn't even an excuse for that.

Someone needs to track the point where we hit 2,996 dead by avoidable medical issues after losing access to health insurance due to Obamacare mandates / subsidies.

Not that there's actually any way to pull that off without HHS explicitly watching.

Donald Trump is a stupid buffoon who will win a temporary victory by squandering his resources on costly battles but will ultimately lose all the ground he gains. Obama's legacy may fall for now, but he will be hailed as a hero in the future. AGC?

The use of Alamo imagery is loving stupid. Unless that's what Catalino's going for?

The right wants to think they are finally wrenching Obama out of are country; they Obama is somehow staging a last stand but Trump will get him.

None of this has to be based in reality to show up in a cartoon, and I'm going to have dreams of violence again tonight :smith:

So how many "actors should act not talk politics" comics can we expect in the coming days?

Bigly.

I do look forward to the cartoonists chastizing the loose sleazy morally-depried lefty Hollywood crowd for having a strong moral center, especially when compared to the party of Lincoln.

5+ years ago: Obama is such a wimp for not standing up to Russia!
now: 3

Cumulative pressure on Russia's economy, including blocking of the $500Bn Rosneft & Exxon oil deal, put Russia's economy in the shitter. Their capacity to wage any kind of protracted war is severely hampered, and that's atop the fact Russia's defense budget is 11% that of the US.

Comic adjusted for accuracy.

Until I fund wherever USPol went, Jill Stein is doing Things still :sigh:

quote:

Dear Goon Subscriber of Many Mailing Lists,

The counting may be over. But thanks to your support, the fight continues for real democracy and elections we can trust! With 80% of voters disgusted by the election and 90% having lost faith in our political system, this fight is more important than ever.

In the wake of a divisive and bitter election, over 10,000 volunteers and 161,000 donors came forward to make this historic multi-state Recount possible. On Thanksgiving weekend, you launched this Recount as a key step we the people could take to help build the democracy we deserve. This remarkable citizen initiative is still going strong.

In Wisconsin, activists are still fighting for our right to examine the privately-managed electronic machines, so we can investigate potential malfeasance, error or hacking by any bad actor - domestic or foreign. Nearly half of Wisconsin voters were denied a reliable hand recount, largely in under-resourced communities of color, the very places voting machines are most likely to fail. To push for urgently needed legislative fixes, activists have launched a broad based “Count My Vote” coalition.

In Michigan, concerns were raised by an unprecedented 75,000 blank votes, many in communities of color. This exceeded the margin of victory by seven-fold. The recount found widespread failure of vote counting machines in Detroit’s communities of color, sounding the alarm about yet another instance of electoral Jim Crow. Thanks to Recount pressure, Michigan has agreed to replace these outdated, unreliable machines in Detroit.

In Pennsylvania, a bureaucratic nightmare of vague and contradictory rules prevented the recount from even getting started. These rules required over 27,000 voters to file notarized papers by unspecified dates at unclear locations. Paperless touchscreen voting machines used by 80% of Pennsylvania voters make it all the more important to examine the software of these fallible, unaccountable machines. Recount activists are pushing for overdue legislation to fix these problems.

The American people deserve a voting system we can trust - that is accurate, secure and just. The Recount showed we do not have such a system. But this movement is not over yet. Which is why we were excited to learn this week of the possibility to redouble the fight in court, among other possible initiatives for voting integrity and justice. As you may recall, you, and all our Recount donors, will have an essential role to play in determining the use of any surplus recount money to continue this movement.

Stay tuned for more details next week. Thank you for making possible this fight for real democracy and elections we can trust!

With deep gratitude,

No, capitalism subsidizes automation. Automation has been happening, automation is happening, automation will continue to happen. Is the author an actual dolt in the most basic sense or am I missing something here? His new year's revolution comic was great.
