  1. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    Wait, so Hillary wants a wall, too?

    1. WTF   10 years ago

      Only if Pena Nieto buys it for her.

      1. AdamJ   10 years ago

        He should buy her some shoulders, am I right?

        1. WTF   10 years ago

          Transplant tissue from the cankles.

      2. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

        What about Augie Nieto?

    2. MorganClark   10 years ago

      My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do... http://www.14earnpath.com

      1. plusafdotcom   10 years ago

        Morgan...

    3. Pay up, Palin's Buttplug!   10 years ago

      The difference is Clinton wants a wall to keep people in.

  2. WTF   10 years ago

    Even MOAR LABELZ wouldn't save this one, it is perfect in its awfulness.

    *SLAP!*

    1. straffinrun   10 years ago

      *Slap*

      The US is getting sammiched between dreamboat leaders. Needz a wall to keep us from invading and leg humping these hunks.

      1. Rich   10 years ago

        *slap!*

        I'm trying to figure out the significance of the lower-case "e" in each statement.

        1. AdamJ   10 years ago

          Truly an awfully terrible cartoon

  3. MetalBard   10 years ago

    Reason can't tell the difference between a wall designed to keep people in, and a wall designed to keep people out.

    I'm now starting to think Warty's rape dungeon might be the result of just a a big misunderstanding.

    1. WTF   10 years ago

      Reminds me of this:

      "To say that the CIA and the KGB engage in similar practices is the equivalent of saying that the man who pushes an old lady into the path of a hurtling bus is not to be distinguished from the man who pushes an old lady out of the path of a hurtling bus: on the grounds that, after all, in both cases someone is pushing old ladies around."
      - William F. Buckley

      Except in this case both parties are building a wall.

    2. Jerryskids   10 years ago

      Walls have two sides.

      Trump has been pretty clear on his intent to keep people like those evil bastards at Carrier from escaping to Mexico with all the jobs they stole from us. Hillary just as much - she's been pretty clear on her intent to re-capture those evil bastards at Apple and Google and Microsoft who stole all our money and escaped to the Cayman Islands with it.

      1. Suthenboy   10 years ago

        Trump's plan to keep American companies from leaving involves reducing taxes and cutting regulations. Clinton's approach is to raise taxes and fine companies that try to leave.

        One is an incentive while the other is a threat...so exactly the same.

        1. WTF   10 years ago

          That William F. Buckley quote applies to so many things.

      2. Ted S.   10 years ago

        What about a M?bius wall?

    3. Nick W B   10 years ago

      So you are telling me you can't understand that there are people on the other side of the wall?

      If from the US perspective its keeping people out, from the Mexico perspective its keeping people in. Same thing, as long as you have a rudimentary understanding of empathy.

      1. Marc St. Stephen   10 years ago

        ... except that it's not Mexico's government trying to keep people in; and last I checked, the US is not trying to keep people in Mexico from leaving Mexico to the open ocean or the borders to other countries on the Central American side.

  4. AdamJ   10 years ago

    Mick Jagger has seen better days. moving to the suit was a good move for him though, especially when discussing foreign policy matters.

    1. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

      *polite applause*

  5. PurityDiluting   10 years ago

    I thought the Conservative Book Club poll 'Who Will Win in November?' that appears below the wall cartoon was one of the Friday Funnies.

  6. Bob Armstrong   10 years ago

    Elect Johnson=Weld .
