Oh yeah, forgot I had an actual question: Should Jon Rosenberg be added to the OP? He usually just does his webcomic, but, he seemed to have gotten more political in 2016, both on his Scenes From a Multiverse comic and posting more on The Nib the_steve fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Jan 1, 2017 |

So, the first Gorrell of the new year is a re-run? That's rather fitting.

BigglesSWE posted:Quoting this because it's really loving stupid. Also, I'm Swedish, and I don't get the hate. I guess it's the socialism? Gotta be the socialism. Isn't one of the Swedish stereotypes that you have so many beautiful women that they'll date pretty much anyone due to the skewed ratios? And seeing as how Garrison seems to subscribe to plenty of MRA bullshit (even when he isn't being paid for it), maybe he's just mad because even swedish women won't date him? I dunno, this sounded better in my head when I thought of it.

SwitchbladeKult posted:People seem numb to the idea that foreign agents might be controlling their leader. Hell, I have co-workers who would see that as a plus. They have such an erection for Putin, it's ridiculous. If, somehow, Putin walked out onstage and said "I run this poo poo now.", they would be ecstatic, because they just KNOW that Putin would only oppress the people they don't like. "Putin would put all those liberal idiots in their place, that's for drat sure. He doesn't put up with stupid crap." - Normally I'm being hyperbolic, but, that's an exact quote from a guy I work with, and he's a loving combat veteran from Desert Storm. Edit: gently caress, I hate starting a new page without a cartoon. Here, have an old Kelly

Someone (a few someones) already mentioned it, but: You can't debate the fascists because they aren't beholden to the same rules. They're appealing to emotion, and emotion does not give a single flying gently caress about logic or truth or reality. You can't out-debate a feeling, especially one that validates/justifies a lovely world view. It's the same reason Trump won; It doesn't matter that he's completely full of poo poo, he pressed the right buttons to make people feel good about themselves and absolve them of any personal blame, and that outweighed any objective reality. "Trump is right, I'm NOT a racist piece of poo poo, the drat PC homogay/BLM/Mexican Muslim libs are just trying to keep me down!  "

Tatum Girlparts posted:His 'THE MEDIA IS IGNORING THIS THING (from 2 weeks ago that was major news)' act is actually brilliant. He uses his delay to be sure that obviously the media would be done talking about pretty cut and dry cases like this to remind his base (old, white, probably has opinions about who the REAL victims of racism are) and to do the whole 'well are they talking about it NOW? NO!!!!' thing. I refuse to accept any statement that pairs the words Tinsley and brilliant.

duz posted:As Chapo pointed out, they have repeatedly shown they don't care about Republican hypocrisy so it's pointless and a waste of time to treat it as some sort of "gotcha" that'll get them on your side. I think the larger issue is that they are just too good at retconning their recollection of events. When they come out and boo hoo about how big mean Obama spent 8 years slapping olive branches out of their hands and refusing to meet them partway on any issue ever, they honestly truly believe that's what happened - and a little something like hours of documented video/audio footage of them repeatedly bragging about blocking him at every turn isn't going to stop them from believing their narrative.

loquacius posted:Maybe he's just lost some sleep due to all the excitement w/r/t being the MVP of his fifth Super Bowl win and whatnot, it was a pretty big day In Right Wing speech, Gun Control = No Guns Ever It's been mentioned before, but, every Right-Wing "confronting the Lib'rul with mah big manly gun" fantasy hinges on this idea that just because Liberals believe in gun control that they will all be unarmed and meekly surrender when faced with a real weapon. It's the same logic they apply in A Christmas Movie anytime Ralphie fantasizes about his BB gun - The bad guys never actually pose any sort of threat, and are quick to flee as soon as they realize he has the coveted rifle, because that's how it works in a child's power fantasy.

The caption informs us that Fido was the name of a chicken in this instance. 2 - People being smartasses about names. (See Also: "I'm so hungry," "Hello, Mr. Hungry. May I call you So?  ")3 - The Indian has the clear advantage against the hairy man, as indicated by the Barber stripes he's packing? I dunno. 4 - Son has no idea how scalping works? 5 - One of the wagon covers is teepee shaped, indicating the presence of the aforementioned indian spy.

Fangz posted:Does anyone ever think 'gosh I wish Asay was still around, would be interesting seeing his take'? Asay was "So much for the tolerant Left" before that was a catchphrase, so I imagine it would just be a lot of that. Maybe a few bullshit opposite-of-reality ones where it shows Trump working behind the scenes to make the hard and difficult presidential choices that keep us free as a nation while bearing the public jeers from people who just don't understand and a biased media that's just out to get him.

LaserShark posted:...what does this even mean... Near as I can tell, he's trying to say something along the lines of "The MSM is shameful and whores itself out to trash (the Left)." But really, it doesn't need to mean anything. Lester's M.O. (outside of spousal abuse) is simple trolling. That's it. He doesn't give a gently caress about reality, all he wants is to put out hateful poo poo because he knows it gets a rise out of somebody, and that's all he wants.

I found myself wondering about the whole During Campaign Trump: "Yay, wikileaks!" and Post Election Trump: "Leaks bad!" I mean, with anybody else, I would just chalk it up to standard issue hypocrisy. But, in Trump's case, I think it's that he just doesn't realize HOW Wikileaks gets its leaks. Like, when he imagines Assange putting together a Leak document, he's picturing one of those big 80's computers while Julian hacks the mainframe interface and going "I'm in." all the time every time - And not having information handed off to him through his other various sources/however the actual process works.

I hate when people say this poo poo, because it's such a goddamn lie. It's like when you have a parent telling their crying child "Well, I WAS going to buy you that toy, but you're being a baby, so no." - Motherfucker, you were never going to do that, you're just pulling excuses out of your rear end. A couple weeks ago up in Pittsburgh, protestors had blocked off one of the bridges over the Muslim Ban, and all of the commentators were "Well inconveniencing MY daily commute isn't going to earn my support. Why can't you protest at home where I can ignore you?" You live in Pittsburgh, were you really not planning to encounter construction or some sort of big traffic delay in the first place?

Farecoal posted:What if, and stay with me here, most political cartoonists are lazy tired fucks???? Plus, bear in mind that dipshits like Lester live in a fantasy where the Clearly Labeled Bad Guys never actually shoot back at you. They wave their guns around and make vague threatening gestures until the Good Guy shows up and pulls out his own gun - at which point the bad guys run away or politely stand still while Lester lines up his shot and blasts them away.
