If someone is born without a filter, can they park in a handicap spot?

I wonder if every politician had that surgery. You didn’t have to get into that much detail Rat!

Can we live politics out of the comics, just saying. There’s enough in the lame stream media with polluting these pages!

Just one guy? How about:1) The board of the NRA, that thinks even terrorist should be able to buy assault weapons unless the court deems them too dangerous.2) Martin Shkrel, the guy that raised drug prices 5000%3) Whoever selected Ben Affleck as Batman.etc, etc …

Nice to be able to escape political garbage (pardon the redundancy) by reading the comics. Thanks a bunch, Steph.

Rat is number two on the vp short list. And if Newt can’t prove that he’s not an amphibian, Rat might go all the way to the top.

Actually, thats an common misconception about Trump, He was tragically born without an filter, its an rare but serious condiiton

I was actually expecting it to be Trump. Who is the second guy to have the surgery in the last panel anyway?
Dapperdan61 Premium Member almost 8 years ago
The irony about Trump is he’s not a silver tongued politician who knows how to use the proper language when disparaging people he doesn’t like. He calls Mexicans thieves & rapists when he should say they’re undocumented immigrants who need to go thru the proper channels to become a US citizen. The list is endless but being a redneck ripoff businessman he just states what he thinks & says it out load. I’m sure in private he loudly talks to himself also

If Rat’s filter is gone, what’s keeping him from divulging the other patient’s identity?
