i have been reading political cartoons for decades and they still have not progressed beyond "if this isn't a thing than why do i keep insisting it is?" and "are you really going to arrest mister dahmer, it was only one meal?" level of disingenuous.

That's the issue you take with this cartoon? Not the complete lack of absolutely anything besides the talking point du jour, stated so nakedly that even drunky duck would blush?
uh excuse me? i think you'll find that there is vast precedent for presidents not being held accountable because they felt in their heart they were doing good things.

obviously, this makes the inverse true: you can't arrest a man you hate no matter what. it's why i made enemies with security at the mall. now when i walk out of hot topic and they try to detain me i scream "THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DILDOS IN MY POCKETS THIS IS BECAUSE I SPILLED SOY SAUCE ON YOU LAST WEEK, TREVOR!!" and they have to let me go.

it's why "lock her up" isn't hypocritical: trump is very sincere, deep in his heart, that hillary should go to prison. not because he hates her! everyone who wants trump to go to jail for his many crimes just has a personal grudge

No I can't believe "official sources are now stating that COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak in Wuhan". Probably because it's not loving true.
One source said it's possible but unlikely. So you're wrong twice.

funny how the only reason they even looked into the issue is because biden authorized every lab to look into it and come to a conclusion. they never seem to mention that the.

Stupid question, but i assume that is not an actual quote, is it?
lol

quote:

“My name is Joe Biden. I’m Dr. Jill Biden’s husband,” the 80-year-old president began his remarks at an East Room gathering of women-owned businesses.

“And I eat Jeni’s ice cream — chocolate chip. I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream,” he said.

“By the way, I have a whole refrigerator full upstairs,” Biden added at his only scheduled public appearance of the day. “You think I’m kidding? I’m not.”
i'm sure they would have reacted mature and civilized if he used the time to call for action on gun violence in america. huh. he did that the last couple of times and...oh...oh no they did not.

there's no reason it had to be that specific gun.

Literally an Asay. He draws kids happy with who they are and expressing themselves how they want and this is supposed to be a bad thing somehow.

Ah right he's put in They Live glasses to show that the kids are "in reality" mindless cultists... except his complaint is that they aren't conforming to conventional gender roles, clothing, hairstyles, and behaviors.

It's also pretty funny how mad he is about RRRR KIDS THESE DAYS DYING THEIR HAIR FUNKY COLORS, but his feminist mouthpiece also has purple hair because her character model I guess is from before he got boomer brains about hairdye and piercings.
he also adds a "click" to the glasses because otherwise we too stoopid to get the concept!
nope, special mechanical glasses with no mechanisms or even lens change because he drew the comic, realized someone might be confused, and added a "click" but nothing else

Also wrote a sitcom wherein one episode the boss of the company dates and falls in love with a trans woman but breaks up with her upon realizing she's trans.

IIRC, what Glinner had in mind was that she was supposed to be the butt of all of the jokes, but apparently none of the actors got that memo because the way the episode played out had her coming out of it pretty sympathetically.
the first "i don't care" the boss gives when his date says she used to be a man was actually touching in as much as it was the scumbag monster of a boss that was saying it.
then it turns out he thought she said she "used to be from iran" and he went back to being the gross monster. she was 100% awesome and sympathetic while he gained and lost a huge amount of awesome points (later exchanged for electric sex pants)
it's like lineham once accidentally checked out a man from behind and swore a blood oath to never be fooled again. this weird sketchy scared energy about the subject

Tatsuya and Linehan is a good comparison, both well known among a small group of nerds (webcomic fans/british sitcom fans), becomes a born again feminist while also kinda making it about him (Tats' second-wave anti-porn thing, Glinner weighing in against gamergate back in the day) and then gets led down a rabbit hole of terfism from there in a gradual descent of "oh god I didn't think he could get worse" until everyone realises there is no depth he will not sink to

in both cases there is no actual reason anyone should know who this has-been loser is other than perhaps as a cautionary tale
my formal theory is that as soon as quiltbag people started seeing him as an ally he got hit on or was sent a dick pic and ran screaming in the other direction for reasons even he doesn't understand.
now i'm picturing lineham standing in a meadow grazing peacefully but every once in awhile wildly jerking his head up in alarm, "is that a dick???" *munch munch munch* "thata dick???"

This is some end-state fashbrain poo poo right here. It's not even "opposite of reality", because understanding what a gun literally is and what it literally does is the only way it works as a visual metaphor. The comic hinges on knowing and understanding the literal truth and just rejecting it and substituting a purely political understanding of the situation instead of the real, literal one.

I know this one is trying to say "trans people bad" but it's one of the most confusing "trans = bad" I've ever seen.

Like, trans women are bad because then no one will be able to teach kids how to play catch, but the mom is completely capable of teaching her child how to play catch she's just a little busy at this exact second, so I guess the real problem is that this particular trans women just isn't interested in interacting with her son...?

Tell me, if Biden isn't a criminal kingpin in tight control of the entire government apparatus with the sole intent to weaken America so that they can finally take it over all for his personal benefit, why do I keep loudly insisting that he is?

Back during the spygate days, I was confused why Republicans did this whole "create a lore bible of insinuations and toothless accusations" thing, because I was assuming there was an actual attempted endgame and they would actually have formal accusations at some point. I didn't realize that poo poo like this is why they do it - create a mountain of bullshit conspiracies, string it a long with vague "any day now" sentiments, and you have the perfect outraged whataboutism. They're training their audience to Ultra Instinct-style deflect anything bad right-wingers do without even processing what caused their reaction in the first place. Who gives a gently caress about whoever this Santos guy is, it's all crashing down around Biden and the proof is coming out tomorrow, probably!!
there's SO MANY BIDEN CRIMES like the BRIBERY! and...the fact that we can't find evidence means the FBI IS COVERING UP the BRIBERY. and SO IS THE CIA covering up the BRIBERY. and THE DOJ IS COVERING UP the BRIBERY. also...have i mentioned THE BRIBERY and how SUSPICIOUS it is that we can't find any evidence? of the BRIBERY?

it's not some big metaphor or point, just a lazy redraw of someone else's work.
