It's perfectly acceptable to lie about your entire life story if your enemies also occasionally lie about details of theirs!

Really though, even for this idiot it's weird to see him go to bat for Santos when the Republican Party has clearly made the correct move of either turning on him or shutting the gently caress up about it entirely.

Edit:

Branco is the only political cartoonist stupid enough to support Santos because of course he is. Even other right wing cartoonists are dunking on him, or pretending he doesn't exist.
And I just scrolled right past this post. What you said.

The actual Biden Laptop thing, from memory, in case anyone hasn't been paying attention and basically correctly assumed it's a nothingburger:

Dude's laptop was hacked illegally, the computer repair shop is a cover. The damning information was a whole bunch of him making money through nepotism and the drug addiction, the one thing he did illegally was buy a gun under false pretenses, and they couldn't find a direct link to the thing they actually want to prove here (that he used daddy's direct influence as VP for profit). It's pretty much Benghazi 2.0, if after the House Intelligence Committee report they decided to double down and just keep making poo poo up anyway instead of blacking it out.

Serious question, because the egg people aren't the first company to do the whole "Raise prices just because we can, gently caress you this is a monopoly" thing and it definitely feels like it should be illegal, but is this one of those "obvious harm is being done but no law is being broken because our laws mainly focus on protecting corporations not people" situations?

Here's a way to deal with this stupid poo poo.

A person who doesn't believe in God can still do God's work, whether intentionally or not.

Most conservatives will agree with this statement. Story of Saul and all that. Now swap out God for white supremacy. Probably won't accomplish anything other than pissing them off in a way they're not really prepared to respond to but eh.

For all the loving Buttigieg cartoons, let me explain the separation of powers.

The federal government cannot intervine in a state unless it declares a disaster emergancy. Something that the Republican governor Mike DeWine has so far refused to do. This is something that Republicans should be proud of, that States Rights are being respected and protected from an overbearing Federal government. Until he declares an emergency, the Federal government can just advise but not allocate any funding to the cleanup.

It sure is a good thing all criminals are violent criminals and not say, for example, someone who got 40 years as a teenager and served 21 because the judge didn't like how they refused to rat out their boyfriend at the time.

Since the person in that cartoon is wearing a mortarboard, I'm guessing that Branco's real issue is with the educational institutes, rather than with the actual predatory lenders.
Yes, it's a matter of him making sound points toward an invalid conclusion. The classic philosophical example would be Socrates is a man, all men are mortal, therefore Branco is a good cartoonist.

Okay, uh, regulations stifle innovation, that's a thing people say. poo poo, let's just say it gets in the way of availability, too, no one's actually going to bother reading anything past "thing bad," least of all me.
The argument that actually kinda makes sense for pharmaceutical price-gouging is they need to have a short monopoly on drugs they invent to recoup the R&D expenses of making them.

"Transsexual politics" in Uncle Sam's woke bin. So like, Branco is upset that people decided it's not cool for their team to pick a new out-group to hate? Because I didn't hear poo poo about transsexuals in politics until conservatives decided to punish them for existing.

Every single time these idiots give an actual example of CRT in public schools (or really, whenever someone digs up lists of books that got pulled from the school library), the general reaction is "wow, what a hateful piece of poo poo". Probably why they never give actual examples in these cartoons.

Not only did the Republicans pass another massive tax cut for the rich at the first possible opportunity in 2017, they had to scale back a little because they found out they're not allowed to blow up the deficit more than $1.5 trillion with a single bill.

That wall of text does make me wonder- even if it's just in a superficial "obviously this is the first thing we're caving on" manner, was raising taxes on the wealthy or cutting military spending even floated as an idea in Congress?

It's nice that work requirements for Medicaid didn't go through. Here the cutoff for single people is making less than $110/month and if they added a minimum hours requirement to that they'd definitely be taken to court since you'd have to be getting paid illegally to satisfy all the requirements and there's a lot of precedent saying you can't make people break the law to obey another law.
