[News] Post a D&D Picture

Previous incarnations of Cleveland/P&C/D&D have had an image thread, to handle political cartoons and other image-based stuff that doesn't belong in the general post-a-picture threads.

If any of them spawn an extended discussion, please spawn it off into its own thread. Replies to non-picture replies should take the form of a link pointing to a post on a different discussion thread.

And I shouldn't have to say it, but the images still need to abide by the rules.

Laughed a lot.

I’m past redistribution and leaning heavily towards the Simpsons solution that the wealthy should be pulped and the resulting slurry studied to see what juices can be extracted for our benefit.

How many assistants did that statement go through before they changed it to "call an ace an ace" instead of what it originally said?

That's a bingo

Yeah, he calls that kooky, and then says that the Juneteenth holiday represents a major step towards equality.

Different kinds of bullsh*t, but still bullsh*t.

This is straight out of the Russian authoritarian disinformation playbook that Putin has been using for decades.

Reminds me of the "anti vax is a chinese plot to weaken our immune systems so they can infect us with disease before a land war." Which also works on people.
People would be much more willing to believe scientific studies if they started with "Well, I heard...".

Worth repeating.

Well if we're talking Texas, this was on Twitter 2 days ago...

Abbott just announced that Texas is going to dump at least $250 million into building a border wall because he's competing with DeSantis to see who can attract the most MAGA morons for their inevitable 2024 presidential runs.

Texans will also have to foot the bill for the inevitable legal challenge(s) to the Texas wall because all things immigration are the exclusive purview of the federal government and regardless of how much Texas thinks they're really an independent country, they're just a state. And one that can't even manage to keep its citizens warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

They could manage to, they just don't want to.

I’ve been in a union job for the past 29 years. Unions are good for both workers and companies. When a union successfully negotiates for better pay and benefits, the company will negotiate for higher expectations of competency and efficiency of its workers.

Unions are extremely beneficial to companies by indirect means. Most company owners are fascist egotistical assholes who hate being told what to do… especially by “the help”. The company owners would rather exploit their workers with low pay and the worst working conditions, at the expense of efficiency.

I think "shocking" "huge" costs should always be compared to the military budget - to remind Americans of what they already pay happily compared to what they think is just too expensive.

$22B a year is nothing. Think of the trillions we've lost from just one year of this pandemic.

Yeah, throwing that number up without any comparison to the current cost of the pandemic is just irresponsible.

It’s almost like we need a new unit of measurement for dollar amounts that exceed basic human understanding.

“This will cost 5 fighter jet tokens.”

See. Doesn’t that sound more reasonable?

"We could prevent the next pandemic for an annual expense of a less than 1% of what the COVID-19 pandemic has cost us so far, and create jobs in the process."

See NBC? How godsdamned hard was that?
