The Egos Have Landed Funnies

The people who say that we can’t afford social welfare programs never think affordability is a problem when it comes to police, building new prisons, or going to war.

It’s particularly aggravating when people say this about programs that will pay for themselves in the long run (as panel three mentions). “We can’t afford it” isn’t generally a real argument: It’s an excuse to avoid making an argument.

Grin and Bear It Funnies

Bobby Junior made the Texas ballot for November, and just like their Biden depression flipped to Kamala ecstasy, Lone Star Donks are suddenly under the artificially-induced delusion that Deep-In-The-Hearta is in electoral play.

It's not called the silly season for no reason. In fairness, the heat might be a contributing factor.

In unfairness, this shit right here -- already as stubborn as a skin rash -- will ratchet up if more Blue MAGA can convince the DSA sympathizers/Stockholm Syndromers that a vote for anyone but their fascist is a vote for the other fascist.
Donald Trump and JD Vance are doing their weirdest to force themselves back into the Lamestream Media's spotlight. And failing spectacularly. World Culture War Three has nuked them.
Veep Genovibes, emulating Joementia's capacity to fuck things up, made a stab at snatching defeat from the jaws of Comeback of the Century. Outcome murky; check again later.


What's not in doubt is actual foreign influence in our elections. Not Russia, China, Iran, or any of the usual suspects however.


It's not just the Zionists. There's a Meta-Musky dankness to the memes.

Images like "shrimp Jesus", an 18-wheeler overflowing with babies, or a police officer holding a massive bible while wading through floodwater are regularly going viral on Facebook, garnering tens of thousands of likes.

Investigation Finds Source of AI Slop on Facebook

Even the Brits' stiff upper lip is turning sneery about it.


"Colin A.I.-zer"
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.

Sunday "Weird Colored Cat People" Funnies

Among a variety of other reasons, this is why I am voting Green again.
(Not "liberal" polices, Mike Ramirez; no polices at all. A solid artist and otherwise smart fellow often ruins a good toon pandering to the lazy-thinking right. Sad!)

Are Greens weird? You bet your sweet ass. But Jill Stein won't be rolling out the red carpet for genocide. Ever.
I thought of this cartoon after listening to a news report interviewing swing voters. The swing voters they interviewed weren’t stupid, and they all seemed likable. But they were very, very ignorant. Ignorant of policies, ignorant of what a President’s actual job powers are, ignorant of what sources of information are credible.

"Fortunes Flip" Funnies


There's lots of passing the Olympic torch toons but only a few worth dropping in here. This guy got out of the gate early.


Democrats went from suicidal to euphoric in less than a week, but James Carville -- the voice of reason (LMAO) -- cautioned that "giddy elation (wouldn't) be helpful much longer". Meanwhile Trump, facing the age/senility question alone, seeing no convention polling bounce and suddenly dealing with a running mate liability, reacted with his by-now-predictable terminal (as in 'someboby's getting fired') rage.


The other bombshell in the week that was had Bibi dropping a deuce in Congress.


I'm not the only person that enjoyed the opening ceremonies.


Except of course for the reminders that Palestinians are being slaughtered while all of this nationalism is being celebrated.


Honoring the life of service of Sheila Jackson Lee has even greater meaning knowing that it pisses off Houston conservatives to no end. That was SJL to the very end.
