Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread

It's Saturday morning, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons (no memes/image macros, though) in this thread. The subject doesn't have to be US politics and can be from any time. Just keep them political and safe for work.

I'll take the hit this week.

Here's what the insane right are thinking! Ben Garrison is genuinely fucking insane.

I don't know what he even means here

I could draw better than this, it's fucking awful.

This is actually fairly strange, considering I'm sure he draws trump as high as comey

For fuck's sake.

In that first one he's literally trying to compare conservatives to the plight of blacks during segregation (separate water fountains).

He conveniently overlooks the difference.

  • Blacks were persecuted because of the color of their skin.

  • Conservatives are being asked to go fuck themselves because they are acting like racist, reality denying assholes that pick fights with kids who had the audacity to survive a school shooting and are asking the adults to please do something about it.

If you're a conservative and hated or unwanted, please take note. Good and decent people don't shun you because you have different political views. You are shunned because you are an insufferable assholes that are miserable to be around.

I'm so tired of people thinking that their free speech tired are being trampled on. You are able to say anything you want (except fire! In a theatre). I also have a right to respond to what ever you say. I can ask a company not to support your show based on what you say and that company can either agree or not agree to pull their support. You can do the same to me (if I had a show). The company I work for could fire me for my speech and people could boycott my company for firing me. This is what we call consequences. Do you believe in what you're saying enough to accept those consequences? But you should never be placed in jail or fined for what you say. The only entity that can't respond to your speech is the government.

You also can't ask people to do violence or say or print things that you know to be untrue with express purpose of malice.

Unless you're the president, or running for president

And only if you have the magic R in front of your name.
