This opinion is so stupid it should be a cartoon in this thread.

Winslow recognizes Aunt Sense ("Look who's here!"), asks who she is ("Who is that?"), has never heard her name before ("Carmen Sense?"), has heard all about her but never met her ("So you're Carmen's godmother, Carmen Sense! She talks about you a lot"), and has met her before ("Here are things that have been going on since we saw you last").

Has anyone made an �Auntie Sense� joke yet?

I couldn't believe this so I looked it up. It's real. Some Florida Republicans pushed a bill that could have given $5 million to Trump for legal fees.

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/22/florida-trump-legal-bills-00136984

"The legislation has already won the endorsement from Jimmy Patronis, the state�s Republican chief financial officer, who for months has been publicly calling for taxpayers to pay to defend Trump from criminal charges."

DeSantis said he would veto the bill, and it has been withdrawn. It might never have gotten far anyway, because "There was no House companion to the bill, and it was not something that Republican legislative leaders have been promoting during the start of this year�s session."

The alleged logic behind the bill was:

�If we can help and support a Florida candidate for the White House, that�s just good from a dollars and cents perspective,� Patronis said. �From all the decisions the federal government makes with regard to military installations, to roads, to disaster aid � it�s in Florida�s best interest to make sure their champion for the President is allowed a fair shot at the White House[...]"

I just appreciate that Clay Jones is keeping the piss tape alive.

Today is Garrison�s birthday and it turns out he had Stage 4 colon cancer in 2023. That�s a 10% rate for five-year survival.

Oh wait, did I say had? The post made no suggestion that he was cancer-free, just that he underwent surgery, six months chemo, and is currently �focusing on holistic and natural treatments.� So he is likely terminal and getting fleeced by quacks. Going to be very sad/darkly funny if his wife is rendered destitute because he pissed away his money on lemon cleanses.

So yeah, 2024 may herald the End of Garrison. He was given a year to live without surgery, so I guess we�ll see. Curiously, the post said there is no site without his cartoons, which implies we won�t get a Tina Toons solo act. Or, maybe more fuel for the �Ben draws everything� or �There is no Tina� conspiracy theorists.

I�ll be glad when he�s gone but it�s still an awful way to go.

Biden could and should make it a law that women should have the right to abortion. Women shouldn't depend on the whims of the supreme court. But he won't do that and women in the US won't have a right to decide over their own body regardless if Trump or Biden is president.

This is not how American government works at all. Not in theory or in practice.

I somehow enjoyed the 100-tweet long deep dive into stonetoss' identity. Incredible doxxing effort.

Having read the politoons threads for way too long, nothing really new came up until around tweet number 80. Most of it was just explaining stonetoss and redpanels.

Also, half Puerto Rican white supremacist, lol.

I know it�s very common, but I�m always shocked when a non-white goes full white nationalist.

Hang on, we got something for that:

some Austrian jailbird posted:

In a few decades, for example, the entire east of Asia will possess a culture whose ultimate foundation will be Hellenic spirit and Germanic technology,
just as much as in Europe. Only the outward form � in part at least � will bear the features of Asiatic character. It is not true, as some people think, that Japan adds European technology to its culture; no, European science and technology are trimmed with Japanese characteristics. The foundation of actual life is no longer the special Japanese culture, although it determines the color of life � because outwardly, in consequence of its inner difference, it is more conspicuous to the European � but the gigantic scientific-technical achievements of Europe and America; that is, of Aryan peoples. Only on the basis of these achievements can the Orient follow general human progress. They furnish the basis of the struggle for daily bread, create weapons and implements for it, and only the outward form is gradually adapted to Japanese character.

See, as a Hellenic/Teutonic culture bearer, Tats has ascended to stand with the Aryan culture-founders against the Marxist-Jewish culture destroyers.

Bohemian corporal someone or other posted:

Now the Jew knows only too well that in his thousand years of adaptation he may have been able to undermine European peoples and train them to be raceless bastards, but that he would scarcely be in a position to subject an Asiatic national state like Japan to this fate. Today he may mimic the German and the Englishman, the American and Frenchman, but he lacks the bridges to the yellow Asiatic. And so he strives to break the Japanese national state with the strength of similar existing formations, in order to rid himself of the dangerous adversary before the last state power is transformed in his hand into a despotism over defenseless beings.

In his millennial Jewish empire he dreads a Japanese national state, and, therefore, desires its annihilation even before establishing his own dictatorship.

She shot herself in the foot with her psychotic story about puppy murder and compounded it by saying her first act in office would be to murder another dog (she said she wanted to kill Biden's). Possible the only unambiguously good Garrison cartoon ever.
