Garbage In, Garbage Out Funnies


Ben Garrison LMAO

Thanks again to Ted Rall for hitting the nail on the head every single time.
Yet another inadvertent endorsement for Jill Stein (or the third-party candidate of your choosing) from another cartoonist who failed to realize that democracy dictates more than two spoiled choices.


Immigration is a tremendous problem in this nation, as Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, Ted Cruz, and Colin Allred have been screeching about for months now. And it will undoubtedly become a bigger problem, for migrants and the rest of us, regardless of the election results.


Immigration is great for the US. It’s great for the economy. It’s great for our culture. Compared to those of us born here, immigrants are disproportionately of working age, disproportionately working, and disproportionately law-abiding. Immigrants are more likely to work in “essential” jobs. Immigrants are more likely to start new businesses than the native-born, creating more jobs than they take.

There’s probably no one policy which could do more to improve the U.S. economy than making it easier for people to immigrate.

And a huge number of Americans are convinced that immigration is a terrible thing.

Fourth Estate, Fifth Column Funnies


The term being used is "anticipatory obedience", which is to say that the owners of the LA Times and Washington Post are withholding endorsements of Kamala Harris because they're afraid of what will happen to them if they infuriate Donald Trump and he wins.
It’s not necessary to know (Trump's) dimensions to realize that it's one thing to brag about assaulting women in what you thought was the privacy of a tour bus and quite another to address a crowd on the topic of how having a large penis makes you a "man’s man".

For my part, I always strove to be a woman's man, but let's not drag Dr. Freud into this, except to observe that sometimes a cigar is only a cigar but the real problems come when it's only a cigarette.
Worried about the polling?

Frack around, find out.

Not Too Clever Funnies


Beginning today closer to home, and as voting approaches kickoff tomorrow: the latest polling reveals Trump will carry Tayhahs comfortably (no surprise), Ted Cruz will also (only a surprise to wishful Donkeys) and Harris County will hold blue as well.

The University of Texas Longhorns were #1 in the nation, but either Cruz or Matthew McConaughey -- or was it the refs? -- jinxed it for 'em last night against the Georgia Bulldogs. Blame notwithstanding, Bevo still attracts the same amount of flies.
If Dementia Don pulls off the White House win, the Republifascists will be faced with the same concerns that the Democraps had earlier in the year.
Then again ... there's a few reasons why Kamala can't put this guy away (that don't have anything to do with him. Or Jill Stein.)
Indeed we do.
No matter which of these losers prevail, the rest of us are schlonged. We won't be hit as hard as one can get hit -- that's reserved for Palestinians -- but no matter whom, the next four years are going to be so far worse than the shitshow we've endured for the past eight ... you will not be able to measure it with modern technology.

The cartoonists, as with virtually all Western corporate media, continue to studiously ignore the pogrom in the room.
Okay, these were supposed to be 'Funnies'.

A Mockery of Democracy Funnies

"It would be a pity to believe that defeating Donald Trump goes far enough to defend democracy."
-- Ted Rall
The toon below neatly summarizes the anxious dilemma some "progressives" are going through now that the DNC and assorted henchpeople (beginning with AOC, continuing with Angela Rye, and this past week Mehdi Hassan, Thom Hartmann, and culminating with Jaime Harrison himself) are elevating in order to NOT have to declare Israel an apartheid state or to cease funding the genocide of Palestinians and now Lebanese.
This is different than trotting out the Drone Assassin in Chief Barack Obama to scold Black men and mock their masculinity about their lack of enthusiasm for voting for Kamala. That 'Joy' vibe appears to have completely run its course and I suppose they realize all they have is Fear.


I would have liked this next toon better had the artist, Emad Hajjaj, included a seventh candle holder in the fish's tail to symbolize a menorah and the appalling chutzpah of the Israeli government's relentless Holocaust recreation during the High Holy Days. Grace to him for not inciting the psychopathic Zionists any further.
Yes, Trump is a fascist but nobody voting for him seems to be bothered about it. The billionaires propping him up certainly don't.

So yes, our duopoly has reduced us to this. But it doesn't have to be that way. If you're not ready to give up on change at the ballot box, you have some options.


But time is running out.

No Facts Checked Funnies


If they're facts then they don't need to be checked.

As Duopoly Indigestion 2024 draws closer -- voting by mail has already begun in some states -- the few things you can count on every single day are that Trump will tell lies, Vance will embellish those lies, their media sycophants will repeat the lies and exaggerations as facts ...


... and the Democrats and their media lickspittles will be shockedIsay about it. Meanwhile Kamala will dodge the press as much as she can, say as little as possible when she can't, and Walz will mimic her every move and non-utterance.

Boring AF performative BS on a loop.

I'm not voting for any Republican, particularly not one with a D beside their name (that includes Colin All Red).
But I can't help but think that if Harris loses, it will be because she chased after the Liz Cheney/Adam Kinzinger Republicans and ignored the voters most put off by the Cheneys and W Bush neocons lining up behind her. The people responsible for US policy in the Middle East for the past 20+ years.

Not Getting It Funnies


Why we're not voting for it.

It has something to do with lesser evils.
When even Mike Ramirez can figure it out ... Democrats might just be ignoring it.

Maybe we should try another tack. A different angle.
'Immigrants are stealing jobs AND welfare benefits', you say? I think Kamala just got back from the border saying she's going to fix that problem, so blaming the GOP for being hateful nativists could be overlooking those conservative allies of yours voting blue this cycle.
Its 20th anniversary was in July, and still nobody remembers "A Day Without a Mexican"? The economics of immigrants -- cheap labor -- doesn't seem to be registering in the corporate media either, to say nothing of the duopoly, when the choices are presented as between fascism and a second term of Nothing Will Fundamentally Change.

So with the absence of anything resembling serious policy discussion from the red or blue wings of the Uniparty, we get a constant stream of culture crap. And 'Joy'.
So.

Monsters Ball Funnies


I kinda thought making fun of the pets on the Ohio menu last week was going to be a short-term joke, like most of what tumbles out of the mouth of JD Vance and Donald Trump. I was mistaken.
Every single day that Godwin dude's Law just bursts into flames again. This week it was Henry Payne of -- but not posted at -- the Detroit News who dug a long thin hole and buried the bar in it.
Here's the latest. Certain Congress critters -- introducing Rep. Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, who ousted Lynn Cheney from Congress two years ago -- were among the sociopaths not acquitting themselves as human beings.


And speaking of psychos, Diddy also had -- is having -- a bad week (NSFW).


Prolly gonna hafta change my nick after all these years of drafting off that guy. Not just Sean John Combs with the sexual perversions being exposed, either.


Also should point out that Kamala didn't have the best week herself.


Save the orcas, hug a tree, stop the wars, either tax the billionaires or barbecue them, and FFS don't let them silence the cartoonists.
