Operation Over Lord Musk Toons


Regarding the Russian-Ukraine conflict: I don't have a dog in the hunt. That was Joe Biden's war, and the Azov Nazis were not something I could overlook. It also became a proxy fight, not just NATO but Israel, which is why so many Jewish Blue Dogs (read: shitliberals) still fly blue and yellow flags on their profiles and in my 'hood.

But nobody needs Viceroy Musk with his heavy thumb on the switch.


Not on the battlefield and not at the ballot box.

450 m-m-m-million dollars and the GOP slot machine is still ringing.

The Democrats already had too many things to pay lip service to fixing, and now getting the goddamned money out of politics rockets into the top five. As for Yurp, it's the social revolution I'll be watching. It's not being televied in the US.
Number One with a bullet, faster and more threatening than the rise of Musk, is one of his creations; specifically some of Grok's more sophisticated cousins.

At this point I'll take almost any distraction from the midterms, and any one I can get from T-Pig.

Again, not like we don't have bigger fish to fry at the moment.

Like this.
More deaths of children this week. In this country, too. If you noticed.
Yeah, it's complicated.
The “victims to monsters” trope made the news in November 2025, when an old quote from Zohran Mamdani’s father, Columbia professor Mahmood Mamdani, surfaced: “The survivors of the Holocaust in Israel: yesterday’s victims turned today’s perpetrators.” He said that in 2002, but I’ve heard that sentiment recently expressed in quite a few internet discussions.

I’ve said that many of Israel’s defenders and groups like the Zionist Organization of America have been far too quick to call criticism of Israel antisemitism. I still believe that.

[...]

“The victims are now the monsters,” when said about Jews or Israel, has long been a pet peeve of mine. I think people are drawn to this trope because it suggests a clear and comprehensible storyline — oh, the irony! — which is more appealing than the foggy reality.

I’m very much a critic of Israel. But it’s true that some critics of Israel do conflate Israel and Jews in a way that’s antisemitic, sometimes purposely, and sometimes just thoughtlessly (both kinds are bad).

It’s possible to oppose the genocide in Gaza and oppose rhetoric that criticizes Jews in general rather than the state of Israel. (I put the black-haired woman in this cartoon in a “Free Gaza” t-shirt to make this point.)
