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.

Just FYI, the hyper liberal marxists over at DirecTV replaced the Newsmax with a network that's run by known card carrying communist Bill O'Riley. Source: I checked it on my parent's DirecTV.

I'm going to repeat this again, but Newsmax was replaced by Bill O'Reilly's network TheFirst, channel 347.

https://twitter.com/BillOReilly/status/1618700743200079872

The real reason DirecTV dropped them was the contract was about to expire and Newsmax asked for a poo poo-ton more money. DirecTV said no, but were willing to renew under the current deal. Newsmax said no, and DirecTV let the contract lapse. Newsmax probably knows that by doing so they can whine to their viewers about censorship and rake in donations/ads.

Kellies Nomination: Best Overall. It perfectly frames the whole issue with trying to go green while maintaining fossil fuels, with a well known expression that I don't think I've ever actually seen used in a political cartoon before (which is amazing in it's own right)

Good...Debt? I'm afraid I don't understand.

You can go into debt by taking out loans/deficit spending but put that money into something that can create money it's worth it in the long run. Play Victoria 3, you find out that if you deficit invest in factories you can supercharge your economy, so long as your economy can grow faster then your debt. You can actually "outrun" your debt, gaining more spending power faster then your debt grows.

That's one thing conservative lawmakers don't really seem to get. By the time the treasury bills mature the economy will have grown enough that we can easily pay for it with new T-bills. The key is that we have a AAA credit rating, so people buying T-bills are ok with low interest rates because it's basically guaranteed to be paid.... except when the debt ceiling is hit and we cannot take out any more T-bills.

In case anyone cares, the word bubble is 笨蛋 bendan “idiot”.

And weirdly enough it’s actually properly written??? In Chinese, the strokes need to be in a certain way in a certain order to be legible : doing a stroke the wrong direction can actually be the difference between two words. Like 人 is “person” and 入 is “enter/insert” and the only difference is which of those oblique slashes you write first.

Why the gently caress does Ben Garrison know how to properly write Chinese characters? That’s a thing that has to be formally taught. No matter how artistic you are, you can’t intuit the conventions of an arbitrary formalism ; just look at most hanzi and kanji tattoos, which are all-but inevitably pseudo-characters and weird little squiggles.

You are overestimating Ben. He probably just googled it and copy/pasted the first image.
