Political funny pictures thread, part IV. Bring on the leather!

Heck, I like a good joke...but jokes, especially in the political realm, usually, must point out some sort of truth to be funny, or, if not funny....to make you think.

For instance:

Here, we see commentary on a less than strong response to the killing of a journalist. Like it or not, there's enough of an underlying truth to make you think.

In contrast:

No basis in truth, it's just fodder for the echo chamber and not funny or meaningful.

The truly thin skinned will see anything that criticizes Trump in any way as offensive or whatever.

However, if the cartoon has no basis in truth....that's worth pointing out and whining about people pointing that out is, in itself, seeking a safe space.

...and do you know how hard it was to find a Trump cartoon with anything vaguely fact-based in it?

Well. I got called a Trumper for making that argument. You made a better case. Maybe that will work. I kinda have my doubts.

We should have nuked Saudi Arabia.

My son-in-law is stationed over there right now. Can we wait until after July 1 when he comes home. He's an okay guy and my daughter really likes him.

Not much that isn't desert already.

But glass shards are harder on camel's feet than hot sand.

By the way that was purple because someone posted a meme that our response was weak.

writing 1 op-ed in WaPo doesn't make you a journalist.

Exactly. He was NOT a journalist, but a Muslim Brotherhood operative. I doubt we will ever know exactly what went down. But to knee-jerk respond for the supposed mistreatment of of a supposed journalist would have been a big mistake. So the "kernel of truth" in that cartoon is thin at best.

Yeah, but Bill has deserted us.

 

[jamil]

Words.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Words.

Potentially words AND pictures (my favorite kind of reading actually ).

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yeah, but Bill has deserted us.

But the thread lives on... sung in tune and in place of the lyric "and the band played on" in this classic... And a lot of the other lyrics are still kind of relevant today.

This thread is starting to suck. I'll see you boys over in the hot chicks fishing thread.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Starting? Been that way since the usual thread mucker showed up.

Yeah I think that person has violated some safe spaces.
Here, I'll see if I can help jazz things up a bit.
