That's not a China Daily cartoon. I can tell because there's no anthropomorphised globe looking on with a worried/sad expression

Also the spigot isn't wearing a red and blue top hat

The Democratic Party blocks illegal ballot boxes even though it helps their opposition. Average person not happy they are helping fascists. AGC

Polling booth that somehow encourages voters to vote for a specific candidate - in contravention of electioneering rules - has been appropriately cordoned off by democracy-protecting Democrats. AGC

It's fun to remember that Kirschen hated this comic and threatened legal action against whoever made it.
Which of course went nowhere since he had no legal leg to stand on.

Surprised he bothered going the legal route and didn't just start bombing apartment blocks until the cartoon stopped

lmao of course Branco sees that picture of Trump awkwardly hugging a flag for no reason as an inspiring beacon of patriotism on par with a Jon McNaughton painting

Speaking of Jon McNaughton, surely his poo poo counts as political cartoon? I mean it's basically just a Kelly, but in oil on canvas

Unfortunately it's surprisingly difficult to know when he actually paints them. He reposts them to twitter years later, and his website doesn't actually give dates. Infuriating.

But I don't care, i'm gonna post a couple. He posted this to his twitter on 5 Jan

Great RINOs



the description for this one is a loving poem :jerkbag:

quote:

A species in the wild
It rises above the rest
The pompous stilted cunning
For the globalist success.

It’s mighty horn will poke you
Where the light can never shine
Will go to war for glory
And leave us all behind.

A crash is made of many
Who hide behind the votes
The sneaky little devils
Wearing finely pressed turncoats.

If I was on safari
And following a map
I would simply track their signs
By looking for the crap.

America is hurting
Our fruited plain is dry
The RINOs have abandoned us
And will not even try.

When history has found you
Looking back as if it knows
The Republican Party blew it
Choosing traitorous RINOs.

This from 12 Jan

The Empowered Man



quote:

There is something simmering deep inside the soul of all Americans. We want to know that we are a free people; that the government acknowledges our individual rights; that fiscal responsibility is an absolute requirement. We want our presidents and politicians to mean what they say when they take the oath of office .to defend the Constitution of the United States!

Do we have freedom when half the country pays taxes to support the other half? Do we have freedom when government regulates every aspect of our lives?

Do we have freedom when our currency is controlled by a corporationthat has no accountability to the American people?

Do we have freedom when we have more debt than can possibly be repaid?

The government bureaucracy is to a point where it is no longer worth what the tax payer is required to maintain it. I wonder how many Americans realize they have sold our God given freedoms for a mess of pottage

I hope everyone will see themselves as the Empowered Man. It makes no difference whether you are a man or woman, how old you are, or the color of your skin. You must decide to no longer be silent, to get off your bench, pick up that Constitution and hold it high in the air as a standard for the world to see. Don t hold back! Don t be silent! You are the future of this nation and without YOU, the American dream will perish.

long time fans of McNaughton will recognise this as the sequel to this absolute classic:

The Forgotten Man



quote:

This historic image was painted by Jon McNaughton in 2011 in response to the passing of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). During the 2016 election the painting gained additional interest as Americans united to defeat Hillary Clinton. On the day of the election, Sean Hannity spoke of the significance of this painting and how it would take the forgotten men and women of America to rise up and save America. That night, as Donald Trump gave his acceptance speech he noted that because of the Forgotten Men and Women of America he was standing as the new President of the United States. The day after the election Sean Hannity purchased the original painting and publicly stated that this was the election of the "Forgotten Man."

i might do some digging to find out when he actually painted these.
