Pictures and Videos for R&P

Pretty sure that was the game held as a birthday party for him.

Fearless Leader Win MVP.




Self delusion is great for fun party time but not so great for war fighting time.

[Holman]

That's so ridiculous.

It's as if, instead of the US President throwing out the first ball, they pitched and let him claim a home run on a bunt.

[Skinypupy]

It does kinda put the “he’s dying of cancer” rumors to rest though. Perhaps that was the intent.

It's more a foreshadowing of the paper tiger.

[Remus West]

Nobody else laughed at him skating onto the carpet and falling down? The guy skating slightly behind and next to him rushing to try and get in front to catch him was particularly good. You can almost hear him thinking "Oh shit, Vlad doesn't see the carpet".

Dude. Where have you been?

Omg lol.

That was easily the best part. I also replayed it like 4 times, watching that one guy hopelessly try and maybe catch up before he hit the carpet.

[Holman]

"75 [laughter]"

It's funny but also unutterably sad.

I don't follow events in Australia enough to fact-check any of this, but I still think it is amazing nonetheless.

[Unagi]

I’m just so humored by the presentation of these videos.

I saw your post and was like, “Oh , that’s my girl!”

And how weird to see her speaking for real at the end.

And yea, I see two of them, but I can’t keep track of them

[Daehawk]

Leadershit. Nice.

Sometimes I forget just how amazing that show could be.

[Blackhawk]

No idea what show that was, but, oh, what wishful thoughts.

Too soon.

[gbasden]

Too soon.

I'm pretty sure that being too soon is part of the job of political cartoonists.

[Isgrimnur]

Hey, it say high school. It’s not like those are dead 2nd-4th graders.

[LordMortis]

Too soon.

I'm pretty sure that being too soon is part of the job of political cartoonists.

According to this, there have been 27 incidents of school shootings in 2022 that resulted in injury or death. If true you get an average of about six days between shootings, so I guess you need to wait four more days before getting the maximum average time. In that case you should also get Sunday for free, so make if five.

I'm not confident that it'll ever be not too soon in the foreseeable future.

[Isgrimnur]

It's almost as if that's the point of the phrase.

[Max Peck]

Maybe. I'm too tired today to really appreciate irony. Or even know if irony means what I think it means.

On a more serious attribution, that comic is from December 1st, after the Oxford, Michigan shooting.

The leading cause of death among children in the USA is now guns.

Think about that.

Man, that is just so disgusting.
To think that we've managed to totally outbid natural child mortality all on our own.


But it's fun. Guns are so fun. Nothing feels quite as powerful. And power is so delicious.


I wonder if there is any single event that will ever move the needle on this. What if an entire school was totally cleaned out. Not one single survivor... say maybe 200-300 dead kids and 50 dead adults. Would anyone change their views then? Of course not.

I can't see how anything will make a change at this point.

I think change is inevitable. It probably just won't look like change tied to the particular event. We often think that events drive specific actions. That is an artifact about how history is told to us. The counter argument on this particular example is that we have seen this happen in other countries and they responded decisively and effectively to reduce the incidence of these type of events. We're just unique that nothing shocks our conscience because we are a nation that resembles a psychopathic being who has no conscience. Another way to think about it is that we process things differently but eventually we'll do something. Probably for the worst but eventually something will happen. There are still forces at play here that need outlets.

I understand that a given event will never lead to a new bill being passed, or an amendment being addressed - and that it would take a change in attitude. (And I know that one should never say never...)
But, yeah - I don't know that we will do anything, or perhaps more accurately: I don't think we will do anything meaningful any time remotely soon. 20 or 30 years from now? Perhaps. 1-15 years from now? Nope.

And, yeah, it's exactly because we are a nation that is the equivalent of a psychopathic being who has no conscience. We don't merely resemble it, I believe we are literally it.

On the bright side, we've managed to do really well on survivability in car accidents!

Yeah, to be fair - I suppose "Firearm-related injury" has been in 2nd place to "Motor vehicle crash" for about 20 years...

I imagine that's not from any laws or regulations though. Just people driving safer with kids in their car, I imagine.

[Defiant]

[TheMix]

Apparently they missed "Placed the blame on the victims" as an option under the Republican response. Though I can't fault the creator for not guessing that would be the response.

I'll point out that Biden actually came out and asked when are we going to stand up to the gun lobbyists.

[Blackhawk]

Too soon.

Waiting until it wasn't too soon hasn't achieved much. Abstract numbers haven't shocked people into action. Perhaps this will. Hell, start putting the footage from the actual shootings out there. Maybe once a few of the pro-gun parents start having nightmares after seeing it, something will change.
