[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.

No, but I don't blame then quite as much as the tweet. I mostly don't blame them as much because like it or not it is what people have voted for. Now you could try to argue that people who voted for the members of the Senate and the president who picked the Supreme Court were not well informed that - in a democracy - is no excuse. If the people have the power then the people have the responsibility to use that power for good.

The poster in this case is referring to the fact that structurally the Senate and Supreme Court are biased against the will of the majority. It’s a tragedy that the most important nation to solving climate change on Earth can’t enact the will of the majority of people.

That is fair. I can see that.

Nice argument for removing Under God from all our iconography. Thanks, Flynn!

Hmm. Editing a post doesn't reset the likes. That's good to know.

God that is so true. Something so evil thinks they're the mightiest hero.

So I got put into facebook jail for reposting this image. I deactivated my account and deleted it off of all of my devices.

No sense in continuing to engage with this kind of company.

I don't understand how anyone in the GOP can watch/read X-Men and just miss the point so f*cking bad.

Of the two recent movies, conservatives pundits have been lauding Dune and congratulating Villenueve on avoiding politics and “not going woke” with the film while simultaneously attacking The Eternals as being “too woke” and political.
Dune is blatantly, inherently the most political of the two properties and always has been while Marvel tends to limit political messages in the MCU to the most superficial, toothless observations. It really shows their inability to analyze anything beyond the surface level.

Yoooo, they listen to RATM unironically

I'm in this tweet and I love it. (Well, I'm not in it in that way, though.)

I used his books in college!

It's like the police in the US are... racist.

For me, the thing is that the press needs to be seen to have a bias. How something is said is as important (sometimes) as what is said.

Reactionaries have waged such a brutally successful campaign against the media that even this obvious racist bias would be considered too leftist.

Evidence: if I say “failing New York Times” y’all know exactly who I am quoting.

Vacuous, entirely cynical, likely has a decent shot of winning national office.

That is real, FYI. It's all just theater and posturing. As it has always been:

Again, I say the right's greatest strength is that once they get a particular piece of messaging going, everyone gets in lock-step on it and sells it as hard as they can. It's how they managed to define being "triggered" as something other people do.

I thought they opposed "cancel culture"?

Only when it is people shouting down racist, sexist, homophobes...

you know, their base.

Mainstream media could praise Trump and endorse his re-election and the right would have a problem with it.

Its not about ideas or policies. It hasn't been for decades. Its that government is the enemy and Democrats are the enemy. The only thing worse than either is a Democratic Government.

There is either no such thing as opposition or there is no difference between opposition and enemy that you have a right to abuse physically and verbally.

A hundred rich guys is probably an overestimate, it’s likely low double-digits.
