Henry Payne for April 05, 2018

Looks like Henry Pain couldn’t find something to exaggerate, so he made it up “out of whole cloth”.

It continues to astonish how Trump Disciples want the air to be dirty and the water to contain coal ash.

Because it’s Good For Business? Are we Great Again yet?

Poor Mr. Payne feels he won’t be allowed to spew more polluting gases other than his cartoons.

About every 500,000 miles, I buy a new car. My latest, has a 4 cylinder engine with the same displacement as the one I bought 40 years ago, except it’s more efficient with 25% better mpg and 50% more horsepower. My old Pentium 3 computer used 120 watts of power according to the journal I keep on my workstations and my latest quad core Celeron uses 20 watts while performing the same tasks. Are more efficient devices/mechanisms bad?

If idiots were not eating half pound burgers and 1 pound steaks, they might have aq 32 inch waist. Nothing wrong with improving fuel eficiency and doing away with it altogether when the technology catches up.

Gosh, any more worn out “let’s denigrate the Left” stereotypes that we can put in this cartoon? The more the merrier! They help make whistling past the environment’s grave so much more enjoyable!

Breathing clean air! Drinking clean water! Hobbies!

This seems like a good start – Who did he send this to? Bubba D. Ammosexual of the Environmental Punishment Administration? Because Bubba still wants cars to get 12 mpg, thinks burgers should be 2lbs. each and has a 50-inch waistline.

Y’know, jlocke, some of the freedoms I really enjoy are the freedoms I get from not having to worry that the food I buy is contaminated, that the products I use are not carcinogenic, that my neighbors are not spreading toxins through my neighborhood with their lawn care products (OK, that one is still being fought out in our neighborhood, but the answer is likely to be a regulation). There’s freedom and freedom, and obviously my freedom is not the same as yours. So go ahead, pollute the environment, but don’t be surprised that a number of us are going to be pretty PO’d with you about that.

JLOCKE, I invite you to eat produce saturated with the new GOP-Scott Pruitt approved Chloropyrifos! You should read Polluting Developing Brains-EPA Failure on Chloropyrifos in the New England Journal of Medicine, March 29,2018. Chloropyrifos is an organophosphate, developed as a toxic nerve-gas developed during WWII. All organophosphates inhibit acetylcholinesterase, causing systemic toxic effects. These organophosphate were repurposed as insecticide by chemical companies. The compound has been proven to damage the developing brains of children, and under President Obama the EPA was set to completely stop its use in America. Its use has been discontinued in many counties who have recognized its long term toxicity to pregnant mothers and children. Scott Pruitt reversed that decision, and chlorpyrifos will be used extensively now. 25.5 million children ages 0-5 in America are estimated to loose 16.9 million IQ points due to agricultural and dietary exposure to organophosphates, chlorpyrifos the most commonly used!. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1716809?query=TOC

JLock Libritarian shill weighs in with zero insight into the history of Laissez-fair capitalism.

Caricature is not an argument.

Americans have had to fight the capitalists for their rights.

People died so we could have weekends off, 8 hour days, education and healthcare.

The right wing are taking away basic human rights that people fought and died for and giving the money to the military and their rich friends.

Republicans are the anti-revolution.

Scratch a Trump Disciple and you will find a LIAR.

Every issue.

Henry? I think you should call the gas company. You might have a gas leak. This comic makes absolutely no sense, whatsoever.

At least open a window or get a canary or something.

j.anti-locke said, "You can’t tell me what to do!” Well, yes; yes we can. In any civilized country, the educated, intelligent, and knowledgeable can and must control the stupid.

In debates between Liberals and Conservatives, both deserve a voice and need to be heard. In debates between the knowledgeable and the ignorant, the ignorant don’t.

Well it didn’t take NotJohnLocke long to start bashing someone for expressing an opinion.

Any number of comparative tests in the last few decades have shown Americans to be deficient in history, geography, science and medicine.

And now we have states like Texas that forbid teaching of critical thinking because it might undermine parental and religious authority. Why, golly whillikers, isn’t that why Socrates was condemned?

And NotJohnLocke is one of the people here who wants a return to the uncritical acceptance of religious authority in life. (No, NJL, read carefully, I am not accusing you of promoting a state religion, at least not openly.) Nevertheless, you continually bemoan the “good old days,” which were not so good for minorities and especially for those who did not bend their knee to a religious fiction. You practice willful ignorance in doing so.

Yeah, JLO, the people who know that Obama was born in Kenya need to be heard.

Over and over.

Because, heck, no one knows anything for sure, so Trump Disciple liars deserve to be heard just as much as anyone else.

NotJohnLocke should live on a farm in Appalachia. A region settled by “rugged individualists” with little liking for government or community for that matter. Lives lived in poverty and ignorance, so resistant to “outsiders” that intermarriage of families was common. A people with no ability to withstand commercial onslaughts on their lands, because they had no wealth, no status, and a legal standing that could erode under their feet because money talks. Like the native Americans before them, their beliefs mattered not at all. Until liberals tried to save them.

This was just plain absurd.
