Best Political Cartoons

In my personal experience, the phrase "the fix is in" carries negative connotations. Using that to refer to keeping the Gov't from gaining access to all of the phones implies they are pro phone-access.

Pretty sure the bit about the fix being in refers to the GOP refusing to replace Scalia.

I didn't see it like that.  The Gitmo prisoner isn't really portrayed in a negative light, and Apples privacy concerns are represented by the Statue of Liberty.

Did you even look at the comic? The GITMO prisoner has the same "crazy eyes" as the lone gunman few panels later and he is grimacing.

Maybe he's just angry at being locked up without charge or trial.

You're so cute when you grasp at straws

Except here's a cartoon mocking people afraid of Gitmo prisoners:



And here are some other cartoons he did on the refugee crisis:





As for his views on terrorism:

I'm not sure if this actually fits here at all. I suspect it belongs in weird political cartoons. A category which would be wall to wall Dees and the Guardian:



Speaking of Dees - here he is. I have put him in here because while I think he is wrong, and probably certifiable, I find his art kinda awesome.

Translation: "The immigrants are sucking up all our tax money!"

Obvious reference to Nordea teaching their customers how to hide their money in tax havens and occasionally even telling them to alter documents and change the dates on documents afterwards because the bank certainly did not want to have their customers get caught doing tax evasion.

...And some people still complain about immigrants and think that they are the real threat to well being of Nordic countries.

Just for Niam:









And some more funny ones:

Now that I've seen so many comics and writers compare Trump to Hitler I wish to point out one way in which Trump is better: Having a moustache like Hitler does is now frowned upon merely because Hitler had facial hair like that. If the same applies to Trump this will merely mean that unkempt hair and bad comb-overs will be all but gone. (Unless the person with bad hair is a fan of Trump which is still a win-win situation.)

Hitler also gave a bad name to the name Adolf which is a shame but I am hoping that Donald Duck is recognizable enough to protect "Donald" from suffering the same.

Thank you, Davedan.

I am amazed nobody has taken shots at Trump's assistant Robin Himmler. As in, she actually has that name. Did not change that last name. And somehow got through high school with that last name.

I'm not sure where to put this (I don't know if it should have its own thread), but...

Anyway, when he was still in power, Harper signed a deal with Saudi Arabia to sell arms to them. Never mind that Saudi Arabia goes out and uses them on civilians.

What does Justin Trudeau do when he takes power? Claims he's stuck with a signed contract and that he would never have negotiated it.

There's a catch: Stephane Dion, his Foreign Affairs Minister, just concurred with the memo written by his department's staff on why the deal is A-OK.

Meanwhile, when the Liberals were in Opposition, one of Trudeau's main advisors posted this picture on Twitter:



Somehow, now that his party's in power, all those concerns have gone right out the window.

Presidential pokemons.
