(I suspect that one of those link icons on the upper left has its data entered improperly which is why i can’t get them to go where i want and also why this comic strip image is trying to show up at full size but only on the front bimshwel page and not in the sub page version where i did not try to add an extra link icon when I was fiddling with them last month since I was having so much trouble doing that)

a very condensed version of a particular recurring complaint to hopefully make me shut up about it at least for a little while
friend and foe alike have commented elsewhere to make clear that they still deal with/are anti-fact shills as bad as the foremost source material for this HAD been so maybe that at least for now they aren’t or at least do not appear to be to the degree they had been represents a more positive shift overall than I have felt like it is.

of course the “foe” in this case seems to varyingly lack reading comprehension entirely which makes me wonder if it is an automated account or a human who trusts automation above its own humanity, and certainly anyone else’s. the inability to understand or unwillingness to put forth effort to combined with unwillingness to admit weakness is also a driving factor in ai-generation usage, which also leads to more grandiose, harmful and stupid misunderstanding
possibly i confused viewers by having the perching creature be smiling. i presume its job is specifically to encourage the typer to issue angry rebuttals, and not trying to issue “ho ho, trump is FINISHED this time!” style worthless premature gloating, though a different person than the one pictured here purported to be “in full agreement with” it, despite it not having expressed an opinion, so i assume its behavior was interpreted in such a manner. Life sure is fun when there is no single way i can not communicate what i want to effectively!

page 5 of part 4 of this
which is what i MEANT to post this week instead of uneloquent impotent ice rage but that is still here if you decide that you need it, this is just also here and more prominent for the moment, as i figured even the boring gnomes were more pleasant

some people cannot seem to do anything right

a rather on the nose piece that i made without even the usual scant planning but i may still have found a way to make my meaning confusing.

i thought about how when i got “political” in the past, shills with nothing of value to say accused me of depicting “strawman” so i made the speaker here be a scarecrow since that is about the level of leadership we presently have anyway

now that i have posted it in a few places i think it may be weirding out the persons who i thought might appreciate it, but foremost i make these because i feel internally compelled to, regardless of how many marks they miss.

and then over night i made a totally different comic strip but that is also about this misery and i am not sure if i should force it here due to its topical nature and the likelihood that someone better at being seen and understood will put out there own comic strip that i will then look like i have copied badly, or delay it since it is miserable. or maybe it doesn’t matter since this site is free and nobody [should] check it more than once a week, if that often and I lost electricity during the last two storm events in december and probably will again anyway.
//////////////////
i have another comic strip post ALMOST ready, but

or ice could just not casually wreck, kidnap and murder so that the natural inclination of an observer would not be to mock them but that would require disobeying their orders/fundamental motivation for joining ice. much better to simply try and avoid a word with a dictionary meaning and no exact synonym amidst conditions that explicitly call for it. we aren’t interested in saving lives, after all. No literally we aren’t

if you arrest 3000 people and only 23 of them are criminals you are doing a beyond terrible job! You don’t get to BRAG about BOTH of those things! Even if you DIDN’T kill innocents and destroy their property amidst the 2977 invalid arrests!
Of course this assumes “criminal record” means “criminal,” and it doesn’t. Of those 23 with “criminal records,” how many of the “crimes” were violent and how many had the “criminals” already served time in prison for? and how many of the arresters were themselves violent criminals? yes before AND after the arrest events. And how many of them voted for a criminal who has been cheating and molesting for half a century who boasted that he COULD murder someone if he wanted to and avoid consequences, with the explicit aim of keeping him out of prison?

fiddledeediddledoodeedle i don’t know how to NOT be angry. this only gets one-dimensionaler. even if you hold the opinion that it can’t possibly be as bad people say it is, and as bad as repeated VIDEO EVIDENCE demonstrates it to be, even 25% of this is beyond what any past criminal president, at least within my lifetime, has gotten away with. send hunter biden to guantanamo bay, lock bill clinton in the pranger at colonial williamsburg if you must, but don’t pretend this puzzlewit is doing a good job or that the warnings that he had no intention of doing a remotely bearable job weren’t there.

I remember in 2016 someone with whom i at the time communicated regularly was worried, based on social media paranoia, that the incoming administration would be deporting their legal immigrant relatives and i insisted that the US Government does not have the legal authority to do that. And it doesn’t and still doesn’t but does it anyway! Obama’s ice did it a few times by ACCIDENT but trump’s does it as a matter of policy. In fact just about everything it does seems designed to hurt perceived enemies and scare them out of complaining. That is not “governing.”

And this was someone who is (or was) in Florida, alligator alcatraz land, the state shaped like a handgun wearing cowboy pants. it probably wouldn’t help anything to contact that person now and say hey remember nine years ago when i said you didn’t need to be afraid about your relatives getting kidnapped? Oops i was wrong, hope you’re panicking! In fact that might shoot YOU just for being nearby!

worthless lizard! panicking helps nobody! yes i am back in control.
We aren’t north korea yet but the person I mentioned in some previous posts under varying levels of vagueness, who endlessly accosted airport security agents for creating a north korea-like environment and insisted that i film that so he could make “a video” about it ten years ago, went on to vote for THIS and now pretends it isn’t happening. In fact he ended his longstanding refusal to go back to an airport two weeks ago, and no chance THAT is BETTER now. was it for a funeral? No just a soft-ball tournament. in fact he seems to be doing better than ever and i have to hear my mother watching his dopey videos about his dogs or whatever and then showing them to my niece. at some point it starts to feel like letting someone listen to michael jackson songs without bringing up the fact that he was PROBABLY a child molester, even if his entire life up to that point was too cut off from reality for him to recognize how bad that was. Even though realistically just voting for someone who broke all precedent of decorum whom you couldn’t EXPECT to do that just BECAUSE of precedent is not itself a breach of decorum, even in an environment where he already shredded precedent to pack the supreme court with like-minded thugs who shredded more precedent in a very negative direction. Arrrgh maybe it IS! I don’t know what to do, i don’t have a precedent for handling problems like this, and even if i did it would probably just break.

I wish the late Trump shill and confuser of reality and fiction Hulk “not really his name” Hogan could have lived to see this, as he famously appeared in a storyline wherein he REFUSED to sell the World Wrestling Federation championship to the “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, who then rigged a championship match against Andre the Giant and then bought the belt off of Andre instead.

there is, shockingly, video of this happening! youtu.be/zIE8XvGVMbg?… most striking, to me, at the end the VIRTUOUS Hogan ATTACKS the presumed corrupt or worse incompetent federation referee who officiated the crooked match so that he can also attack DiBiase and try to reclaim the belt by force. Also shocking, “Mean Gene” Okerlund somehow knew exactly what Andre the Giant was saying into the microphone despite it being totally unintelligible, as if they had a script and had rehearsed it beforehand or something.

Frustrating, my relation who was trump trump trump for maybe ten solid years has gone totally silent about that and is now all comedy all the time. I think he is funny in person but tends to seem forced in his desire to “go viral” and insistence that he has done so in the past. And fake-watching my instagram accounts with his new comedy ONLY accounts without expressing any remorse or contrition for voting for this guy twice (in 2016 I believe he voted for Gary Johnson but didn’t mind Trump winning) or trying to make sure everyone else he knew did and abusing them if they criticized it. That is better than doubling tripling and quadrupling down like the actual elected officials have done but still not improving anything. Then YESTERDAY he celebrated the million dollar DiBiase’s apparent birthday by dressing up like him for some facebook pictures, since that is a comical looking person i suppose and i have heard that an elderly aunt of ours commented to ask if he was supposed to be a leprechaun but all his comedy references are 1980s wrestling or The Sopranos, which function as amoral testosterone fantasies perpetually suspended in another time. He hides from popular culture harder than I do despite embracing the obnoxious attitudes and customs of endlessly self-promoting social media troglodytes. And he DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE that I made nearly this same million dollar man themed post also on facebook the day before. ALTHOUGH facebook also scans everything with ai trash and undoubtedly suppresses anything with a negative tone. EVEN THOUGH I started the post with “i wish” which I might have thought seemed optimistic. ALTHOUGHer I hardly know anybody on facebook and still barely see anyone’s posts, and he knows thousands or billions of people and probably sees even fewer people’s posts. *I* see *HIS* posts lately because i am checking to see what he thinks about ice murdering people just for making them mad or president screwball trying to declare war on denmark because he believes greenland is as big as it looks on a mercator projection but, topics like this are just not mentioned at all now. Which i SUPPOSE is better than outwardly approving and this isn’t the sort of person to silently approve, but he has also never apologized for anything wrong he ever did either, that I can remember. Whereas every day i am dwelling about something horrible i did before and wondering if i should try and amend it, if i can, which i generally cannot.

Apparently this sort of thing is “normal” which I should be glad about after him only taking cues from Alex Jones for so long, but since Alex Jones has passed from fringe to normalcy, GOP sociopathy is also normal despite the sociopathy being at a hundred year high, and most who voted for them before will vote for them again and passionless ghouls with no long term memory never fail to find themselves “on the fence” I am not glad at all!

another hogany loose end that i apparently posted about in july and never thought to mention here but now is effective for an intermission between tiresome trump stuffs:

excuse me her name is NOT “Linda Hogan.” Hogan is a fake name given to Terry specifically in 1979 because Vince McMahon Sr. wanted an Irish wrestler and so the next wrestler he saw became Irish. Quite odd that the McMahons have naming authority over the offspring and spouses of wrestlers even after their divorces and after those wrestlers are dead, and that this article points out Terry’s real name but not Linda’s.

that being “Claridge.” although wikehhhpedia gives “Linda Hogan” as her primary name, it also indicates that despite a 1983 marriage to the wrestler called but never legally named and thus never legally married as Hogan, nobody called Linda “Hogan” until 2005, and that she was divorced in 2009. So she “was” really only Linda Hogan for four years at most. Certainly far longer than I was ever Linda Hogan but still only a tiny fraction of her life time.

also on dumb websites i have dwelled on having a different person’s approval and I should not. Apart from some subjective gripes, i have noticed that just like my semi-fascist brothers he never regrets anything. Also he celebrated when charlie kirk was murdered. I am not and was not sad that Kirk is dead but killing him accomplished nothing positive because he is exactly like billions of other smug entitled jerk bullies across time and space, and murdering him only convinces his followers more that they are right. President Trumpo though is singular. He is not a true conservative. Conservatives live foremost to follow instructions from presumed higher powers, who can at best aspire to be popes of wealthy racist misogynist crumbaggery. Trump believes himself to BE the higher power. I at one time worried about JD Vance taking over if Trump became dead, ideally from natural causes or at least unnatural causes of his own creation, falling down stairs, getting hit in the head by a golf ball, trying to eat a box of gold nuggets, like that. But Vance is at worst a nazist like we have seen before who at least believes in something, even it is only obeying a vengeful death god.

Trump is more like an evil jester from a video game (i think all the evil jesters I have seen have been from video games). It isn’t clear what he believes in or if he believes in anything at all because his announcements make no sense and don’t consider reality. And true conservatives obey him just because obeying is what they do, which is the ultimate danger of someone like trump being in charge. Even when the cronies knowingly feed their master false information about the world they still obey his warped orders that are based on information that they knew to be false before they gave it. They are morons or are malicious but they are utterly uncreative and terrified of doing anything that hasn’t been done before; that is why they love AI-generation and sequels so much. Trump isn’t creative but he has a Yogi Berra like ability to say something stupid in a profound way that nobody else would but hasn’t been adequately conditioned to realize it is stupid, even if for a few decades it seemed like he was willing to be depicted as foolish if it got him on television; he surely already had cronies then lying to him about how he was perceived. eh uh this is nothing new but i need to type it in a box like this to restrain it elsewhere. That is also nothing new! I may be too old to do new and good things. Fortunately i will never be in government.

another slowww-progressing page with those boring, confusing-to-keep-track-of gnomes but at least they are slightly closer to being dealt with and once they are then i won’t necessarily need to show them for a while, though it is necessary for them to appear some more.

no smell is good enough to justify gaining delgo attributes on one’s face or anywhere else

apparently this large chested rubbery man wearing dish washing gloves who is admiring the job he did cleaning an implausibly shiny serving pan is both beauty AND the beast
my niece was binge watching this sort of thing over her christmas break. the overwhelmingly most watched item has been, obviously, Mulan 2.
I don’t know why but fortunately i can tolerate its widely known badness better than plenty of more highly regarded, equally annoying products’ supposed greatness. I like that i can look up mulan 2 and see people complaining about it and not feel like i need to issue a verbose rebuttal that nobody will care about except people who don’t want to see it since they were looking for my cartoon drawings rather than criticism of cartoon drawings that they like better than mine.

I don’t understand this. I thought much of the point of the 2017 movie was, foremost, as with the other disney remakes, to cement the cartoon version as The Original being adapted rather than itself an adaptation, but also to rebrand the character Gaston as more inarguably bad and less fun. He’s always sullen, he shoots the beast from a distance with a hand gun instead of demanding what he considers a fair fight with more old fashioned weaponry, and he doesn’t even juggle eggs, right? bad guys can’t be fun, our willingly captive audience had been groomed by us to be too dumb to understand that we aren’t encouraging bad behavior so we need to update our products for The Times. But also still sell and merchandise the unupdated version for folks who obsess over The Good Old Days and will rebuy the same movies for whatever you charge just like they rebuy the same nintendo games from nintendo or ebay at obscene inflated collector price, whichever is more, then brag about it. Just don’t talk about Song of the South.
but i suppose that was eight, nine years ago by now. long enough to shift principles and remake, resell and remind some more. especially since “original” Gaston is pretty much MAGA ideal, at least until the woman he flaunts his macho perfection at rejects him, (probably becuase he is french rather than a proper american), and disney is feeling the hurt from the largest share of its long captive audience breaking free and turning on it via orders from a more powerful cult. Maybe this was never “canceled” and they just use that word to get creeps interested. The LEFT WING media tried to CANCEL Gaston just like it did to James Woods and Gina Carano! But DISNEY brought him back! Just like we brought Jimmy Kimmel back! Who we only removed because we thought you wanted us to! We’re good now, right? Please don’t boycott us!

I will give A tip but i am not giving you $10+ beyond what I expected to pay just for handing over two meatless pizzas which already have zanily inflated prices presumably to compensate for people who give bad tips when receiving table service when dining in the restaurant which I have not done.
well i won’t give 10$+ extra UNLESS you are looking directly at me when i have to deal with this thing and that doesn’t feel quite fair, especially if i have just had to stand here dodging dine-in customers and servers in your tiny waiting spot while the sound system blears terrible christmas songs. And i STILL won’t LIKE it!


my own recent ice sighting. thankfully this is not capable of murdering me for driving a car except at very close range.

this toilet has been outside not far from my home since late october and it is a source of continuing fascination for me, especially when it moves to other locations on the same property but remains outside. It is either self conscious about me photographing it or trying to provide me with fresh inspiration.

obviously, easily, the most important thing happening right now. President Trumpy issues criminal orders and insults those who criticize those orders weekly, but I only put out one of these videos per year!
