4. Satire predicated on nuance can indeed...

Satire predicated on nuance can indeed, be rather complex for the irrational mind.

7. I like your replies.

It's always funny to see some use big words, yet seem to have no idea what they mean.

Most people understand satire to have some basis in reality. A cartoon making fun of trump might pick fun at his hair, for example. A cartoon depicting trump as a jock or a yokel wouldn't make much sense, looking ham fisted and forced. Sure, you got an insult worked in there, but it's like calling Anne Coulter a fatass. It doesn't make any sense. The wit of satire comes from picking at reality. As gwb has been more or less apolitical involved since leaving office, and has if anything been sympathetic to Obama for his burden of office, the punchline us forced and flat.

Now if the cartoon had the guy reading the paper say something like "no, that was you last week", it would make more sense.

Here. This cartoon is really subtle and nuanced. It should appeal to your highbrow and refined sense of humor.

"The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war.

When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. And that's made brothers and sisters out of every race -- out of every race.

America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. Muslims are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads. And they need to be treated with respect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect."

8. Why Jeb! doesn't utter the name of any other Bush lately... (nt)

6. But we remain allies with the countries which fund religious fundamentalism

and also support extremist rebels.

Until that disconnect is resolved we cannot really say we are against religious fundamentalism and extremism.
