Cartoonists - Politcal and other - I used to trust dissing DJT
This just pisses me off!

Ramirez, a political cartoonist that is usually right on the money has gone full TDS with his cartoons since the election. Instead of supporting the effort to stop the coup that will go a long way towards turning this country into a third world shithole, he's making fun of the situation. Almost as bad as those commie assholes in the New Yorker.

And my favorite mostly non-political daily, Non Sequitur, has been taking a lot of cheap shots lately too.

I quit reading Gary Trudeau years ago for the same reasons.

I'd LOVE to give those traitorous cocksuckers a piece of my mind, but it'd be a waste of cyber-ink.

Not sure what to think about Ramirez, a real favorite of mine. Here's a link to run through his daily work, a couple puzzlers to be sure --

Today 12-26, slamming unsupportive establishment GOP? --

Yes, Ramirez is usually right on target, but that one, among others, just pisses me off.

Seems pretty right on to me... but then I fail to see how every judge in the country not to mention at least half the population is in on some secret communist plot to take over....

I see where there is a bit of defeat in this cartoon, but he's picking on RINOs. We've seen some of the same here right?

The reason most political satire works is because there's some truth to it.

It pisses you off but is it wrong?

The "too little proof" and "stain on our legacy" are both wrong.

You think Trump is a stain on the GOP’s legacy? I don’t agree, I happen to see it the other way around.

A few things come to mind.

If this was a legit election, when the need to censor anyone that speaks out against it on big tech sites?

If this was a legit election, why was there a need to stop the count in each location that Trump was leading, and all of a sudden Biden was ahead.

If this was a legit election, why were poll watchers not allowed to observe, and many of these “ballot dumps” occurred in the wee hours when no one else was around.

And it goes on and on. No one, including the manufacturer, denies that the Dominion machines can and will change ballots depending on how they are programmed.

The “too little proof” thing is horseshit and anyone with a functioning brain stem knows it. This election was stolen.

Spot on. Ramirez has been my favorite political cartoonist for years. Now, I have him on "mute" because so many of his cartoons spike my blood pressure.

The cartoon talks of a "stain on our legacy", it's the GOP elephant saying that about the GOP's legacy. The cowardly, stained legacy we're all too familiar with this day after Christmas 2020.

Looking at it that way - the shit-stain cowards that dominate the GOP these days - makes sense.

I took it as blaming it on DJT, and I'm still not convinced that isn't the case after some previous cartoons. Willing to admit I could be wrong tho.

Looking through that link I provided of Ramirez's recent work, there are a couple head-scratchers. Michael Ramirez is the cream of the political cartoonist crop IMO but his stuff can be as dense in meaning as appearance. If I have to jump through some hoops to get it, I always hope I'm getting it right. He's spot on so often, I certainly want to believe he's one of us, maybe it's me if I don't like it.

But nothing's etched in stone these days, is it? It'll be smashed or toppled if it is.

Well, 50% of the population is of below average intelligence. And I’m pretty sure not EVERY judge in the country doesn’t get that the election was a farce. Mostly just the ones in the democrat shitholes that were rife with cheating.

Far more admirable than being a sniffing pedophile like a certain other so called politician. lol
