      Hyperbole & satire are permissible in political speech, Commissar Tracey!

      It's permissible, but also insane.

      Fun fact: a cartoon showing Bill Clinton with a Pinocchio isn't necessarily drawn by an insane person who thinks Clinton's nose streches.

      That counter-example is so ridiculously inapt that I have to just assume bad faith.

      Really? Political cartoons are allowed poetic licence, as are protest signs at rallies.

      In some cases poetic license is insane (such as Trump = Soviet agent) while in other cases reasonable (such as Bill Clinton = frequent liar)

      Yet you seem far more upset by a rando with a sign than a birther in the White House. Surely one is more important than the other.

      Your studious effort to discern how "upset" I am is appreciated.

      I'd say your frequent public pronouncements give some indication of what concerns you more.

          In Syria 68 mostly shia muslim kids were lured out of evacuation buses with bags of potato chips and blown up via VBIED. Fuck Trump's taxes.

          Jeet, the problem isn't the problem isn't that people want his taxes, its the association between his taxes and the "#TrumpRussia" scandal

          This idea that somehow his tax returns hold some secret "key" to the scandal is promulgated by the CAP.
