Trump’s Syrian conflict policy is comforting to Russia and Assad. His rubber band strength is showing, but on the bright side for Trump, I’m sure he’ll be able to enrich the bottom line on the family businesses somehow with a back door deal with Putin.
Will the American press be allowed at the Putin visit to the White House or will we have to learn about it on Russia Today as we have learned many things from Russia Today that were kept hidden from the American Press.
You know in Russia they call Trump “our president”.
Well the Ukraine is half gone, Syria is lost, most of the Russian ‘slave states’ -er satellite republics are lost (again), and hundreds of millions – maybe billions – of people around the world are living under the rule of tyrant ‘strongmen’ bullies.
America cannot police the world militarily but we can set an example. Free and fair elections, equal protection under the law for all, humanitarian aid for those in crisis, unbreakable worldwide economic partnerships with democratic allies, and most of all electing public servants that forward our long held cherished ideals by word & deed around the globe and at home.
The U.S. is probably the most admired and reviled place on earth. We’ve had the diversity & idealism markets cornered since 1775. America certainly has the most money, we set the global economic standard. However, the rest of the world’s population has us outnumbered 24 to 1.
If we can live up to our ideal of being ‘the good guys’, that’s a 24 to 1 advantage. If we become the world’s ‘bad guys’…
Every time some fool spouts America First! – a despicable slogan that does real damage to our posterity – think of how it would sound to us if all countries were to take up their own cry. Bolivia First!, Cuba First!, Iran First!, etc. Most all of the time mutual benign cooperation between nations is in their own best interests. Of course each country is going to look after its own people the mostest, it goes without saying. Helping others too is where we can really come in first place and make it count.
I’ve written several times to GoComics to complain about their defaulting to the “Overview” appearance when I navigate to their comics, and one of the feeble excuses they gave for doing it is that it somehow or other gives their creators more control over their own content. Mr. Benson, I know that you monitor these comments and often respond to them. Could you tell us all, please, exactly what new control you have over this page, now that we can only see about half of your work, at half size, upon arrival?
I find the new format to be a bit clunky and a rather cluttered use of space, but I have not expressed this to this site’s operators. I know that they deal with literally hundreds of creators every day, which makes their job time-consuming.
But anybody, of course, can I register their opinions on the matter by going through the contact procedure linked at the homepage.

Trump is in bed with Russia, porn stars, Playboy Playmates, fellow pu**y-grabbers … and the CONservative “Christian” evangelical right wing.
You know, “birds of a feather” sticking together.

At least the southern border will be safe.

This is what republicans wanted when they voted for Trump. A vote for Trump is a vote to give the US away to Russia.

Well, at least he’s keeping transgendered people out of the military and that’s the most important thing.

Dictatorships retard the progression of a people. I wonder if that is why so many love and admire them.
Russia could be so much more than it is, but won’t be.

Since it wouldn’t take it as a reply:
“Contrary to what his handle falsely claims, Dagnabbit has never nabbed anything.”
That’s Dag’s job.
