I feel like it's trying to say there's some connection between religion and line graphs, but that's probably just because my brain is broken by political cartoons in 2020 too.

They clearly understood pretty well about how powerful people act in general.

I had heard a line or two about this but holy poo poo reading the British royal tabloid stuff is like breathing carbon monoxide.

I was just in the LBJ presidential library recently and it was bizarre how much it emphasized his habit of talking down to people, like it was something to be proud of. It had this one display that was like "get the LBJ experience" and there's a picture of him on the wall larger than life, angled downward and pointing his finger at someone below him, and you can stand there and get your picture taken. it's the only presidential library I've been to so far but it was a really weird experience.

Are they really calling it "Megxit?"

Yeah and it's fascinating to me because it works with the British pronunciation but not American.

The Japanese transliteration is completely hosed though, it's like "megugujitto"

If a woman can't win, it's more about the inherent misogyny of the electorate than about their ability to lead and be president.

What gets me about the primaries is people need to ask themselves not "would I vote for a woman" but rather "would others vote for a woman" and that's where the really deep and insidious sexism comes out.

Yeah, it does indeed seem that because the Senate is not going to perform their duties under the Constitution, the articles of impeachment might as well have gone into the trash.

The pen thing did seem really inappropriate to me though for impeachment, even if it was done that way last time. Same as "norms", pot kettle black arguments are not a meaningful part of American politics anymore so I wish they had skipped it.

I mean, unless there's some reason it had to be that way that I don't know about.

I thought a big part of their rally was to demonstrate that they can carry guns in public without any problems, and yet this cartoon doesn't show anyone carrying guns.

Also I thought the "large" would be the lead-in to some joke but I guess not.

It's pretty drat easy to find out that they weren't saints, but I wouldn't expect that from the GOP in 100 billion years so this is an odd cartoon to me.

Hmm...I dunno. Aren't the FF their literal gods, or at least the gods of their constituents? Has Trump risen to that level yet?

Polling where they just ask people factual questions always interest me. After the people answer, do they tell them the actual correct answer or do they say "uh huh" and then leave them in their wrongness?

Why does the Death Note universe president look like Trump and Pence did the fusion dance?

Seems pretty perceptive to me but it's not just Pence who has completely subsumed themselves into Trump's body and soul.

I hate this idea that doing something so they maybe don't get reelected is like killing them.

Edit: and the idea that senators can't get elected unless they have and endorsement from the president. The Senate is so utterly hosed.

I know that TDS really just means disagreeing with Trump about anything, but it's funny to see it applied to a former pillar of the party who made absolutely the most solemn condemnation of Trump that he could.

What're the odds a guy named Chiefs would play for the Chiefs?

I hope Nancy knew from the beginning that No matter how slow, careful and deliberate her actions were in regards to the impeachment, she would still get portrayed as having impeached him on a whim in a whirlwind of impeachment madness. That's the kind of people we're dealing with here.

Still though, it takes the common position that the GOP want to do the right thing, but can't because they're cowards. Just once, I'd like to see a cartoon where they are doing the same thing as Trump because it's what they want to do.

Sorry, what evidence do we have that they've wanted to do the right thing?

Isn't like a big ticket news item any time one of them opt to do the right thing?

I dunno but the news and political cartoons and Dem politicians and everyone constantly gives them the benefit of the doubt and calls them a coward. It's like no one even considers the other possibility. Drives me nuts.

Context: Foreign fishing boats are using slave labor and are literally throwing people who makes too much fuzz overboard. The norwegian coastguard can't do anything about it because even though the boats are fishing in norwegian territories the boats themselves are considered foreign soil. All the the coastguard can do is control how much fish the boats are catching.

Too much fuzz?
