Leaving aside the homoerotic overundertone I think the cartoon is suggesting that while the Americans are all talk the Russians take action. Kind of ignores the amount of bombs the yanks are dropping in Syria

We're dropping so many bombs we're starting to run out.
Excuse me, sir, do you have a minute to talk about your lord and savior, Hannibal Barca?

Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!

Which makes the whole thing about wanting Obama to do more or characterizing his intervention as meaningless words a little silly.

Because standing next to each other Obama doesn't tower over Putin at all:



What is this even about?

Conservatives want to be dominated by a strong soviet manly man, no homo though (or maximum homo, depends who you ask)

Considering the worrying preponderance of fascists who happen to be homosexual, perhaps there is a deliberate overtone in the "we want to be led by a strong, manly man leader".

Jorg Heider for example demanded his bodyguards be "muscular, blond Aryan men". Presumably so he could ogle them in them tight fascist outfits.

I kind of pity the bastards considering what their preferred form of government invariably does to homosexuals.

You'd think these people would learn from what happened to the SA.

That kind of reductionist logic is so easy to apply to everything else, too.

People are repeatedly catcalling you as you walk down the street? What, you're getting mad over air vibrations getting into your ears?
A stalker's following you home? What, you're getting mad over a person being near you?
Someone beats the shit out of you? What, you're getting mad over muscle and bone coming into contact with your body?

Wanna bet that cartoonist gets infuriated if people call him sexist or criticize video games he likes?

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Oh, please, like they'd need your signature to steal your shit.  All a corrupt officer needs is a flimsy excuse and the words "civil forfeiture."  Then, they can take whatever the fuck they want.  Yet, folks wonder why people don't trust the cops and keep calling them "pigs."  Though, honestly, I feel that's an insult to pigs who are, in my experience, eminently reasonable and intelligent creatures, unlike many humans.

Is it just me or does that cop look like Ted Cruz?

@Paragon

Hey I know that picture.  It's from a science fiction book called Man after Man, where following an ecological collapse humans are genetically engineered into various species to fill the lost ecological niches.  The wooly human fills the role of large herbivores and the brown creature is created as an apex predator. 

Some idiot added a star of david for some reason.  I guess the point is that we need Jews to keep the population of white people under control so they don't eat up the food supply.

...This contains about as much truth as the Russian version of the Crimean events.

So in the second worst thing I learned today, racist Trump fans (but I repeat myself) have made a popular internet meme about Trump throwing Clinton, Sanders and left wingers in general out of helicopters inspired by Augusto Pinochet's practice of murdering people the same way.

I don't want to stain my browser history by looking them up, but you can see some of them here
http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2016/06/17/memeday-if-donald-trump-offers-you-a-free-helicopter-ride-say-no/#more-24075

The worst part is how unsurprised I am Trump fans are making memes about mass murder.
