It's not pearl clutching, I'm saying it's not a well designed comic. If he wanted it to be about Covid, he could have drawn it that way.

As seen by how you're saying "no, people died of Covid" and other people are saying "no, people are being deported" and you both are at least notionally interpreting this political cartoon that has labels, none of which mention any of that proves you have to make one too many leaps in logic.

It's just generic "Trump bad" which like I said, I agree with, I just don't like the cartoon.

It was rejected for being extremely distasteful.

It's not wrong, but there's no tie in to the administration that makes the image need to be the scene of thousands of people murdered by terrorists.

I hate the schadenfreude journalism. I will never meet this guy, I don't care how he feels any more than some random South Dakotan. The reason he's relevant is his outsized impact on government and the country, tell me about that.

The smeg CFG01, so good I call it the mother of all grinders. A real smeg ma.

It's harder in places without the incredible subway system of NYC.

If you think in terms of "lanes" AOC is the only left wing potential candidate on there, 21% support is actually not persuasive in her odds to actually be the candidate.

I feel very good about her chances to run the Bernie playbook and end with a top 3 amount of delegates but in an actual primary the lanes would clear up as people drop out and it is hard to see her consolidating support from like, Gavin Newsome.

McSorleys in NYC was men only until a 1970 legal ruling, and didn't have a women's restroom until 1986.

Their motto prior to 1970 was "Good Ale, Raw Onions and No Ladies"

Tiffany was similarly not used as a first name until Tiffany & Co, and particularly Breakfast at Tiffany's, the 1958 novel/1961 movie.

The "Tiffany" from Tiffany & Co was a last name, and that owner was one of a handful of Tiffany's in the world at the time of the founding.

I'm not the hypocrite here...neither of us are doing anything that would protect the American population from a rapist insurrectionist corrupted by Russia, I'm just admitting it while you're pretending your impotent wails are doing anything so you can look down on everyone else.

So you're saying they're yelling at the liberal to fix the boat and then the guy with the gun throws them off the boat? Doesn't sound like you're disagreeing with me.

"Fixing the boat" implies they are successfully doing anything other than complain. Leftists are sitting in the boat yelling at the Liberal for not fixing the boat.

You seem to know a lot of lore here I've never heard of this person.

I have HAD it with these monkey-fightin' snakes, on this Monday-Friday plane!

Braelon Allen is legit but every time Isaiah Davis is on the field is a mistake if you have these other two RBs.

Wait is there a federated podcast app? In what way would that be different than any other?

The default if Congress can't pass legislation should be that legislation doesn't happen.

I was fine with like 80% of Obama and like 60% of Clinton's actual policies while enjoying the economy that I don't credit him for. But then W Bush was like a 10% and Trump 1 maybe 15% (Warp Speed, passing the vast majority of Covid stimulus, ironically all the stuff he's against now) and I'm batting zero so far on Trump 2 but I assume at some point he'll do something I agree with.

I try to keep a sense of perspective, every president I disagree with seems to be the worst president ever at the time.

I really want to say Bush's useless Trillion dollar wars are worse than this.

But it's close and we have 3.5 more years of this.

I don't have a ton of "the court is wrong" opinions, but Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution flatly gives Congress the responsibility of regulating trade and imposing tariffs. The President just doesn't (shouldn't) have the authority to change rates. The executive needs to execute the will of the Legislative branch.

This is sort of like the depreciation tax benefit for private jets from the Trump tax cuts. I get it, I do, I just don't care for the government offering extra help for the types of people in this scenario. Let them manage with their billions.
