Chip Bok for November 22, 2017

There are other Republicans who deserve it, and more, but Rand is the time to get a little lippy, could get a little old.

Lest we forget

Another “Yeah, but what about …” diversion from Bok the dupe.

Meanwhile, Trump endorses child predator Roy Moore so that his kids can inherit billions tax free.

A push mower?

^Looks like Bok wasn’t paying attention to the story either. Paul was on a riding mower. That I know that shows the toonist’s premise is false.

Maybe you should watch something other than Fox, CNN just covered an update on the Rand Paul story. It has been over 3 weeks since Paul was attacked by a neighbor while mowing his lawn, and we still don’t know what really happened. All we’ve gotten is right-wing make-em-ups and fake stories from the alt-news.

I believe this cartoon illustrates a valid point, though it’s probably not what Bok intended:

What makes sexual assault a crime is not that it’s sexual, but that it’s assault. Likewise for (sexual) coercion.

But the reason that sexual coercion and assault have become a separate and more serious problem than ordinary coercion and assault is that our society has treated defense against them as itself an unwritten “crime”.

(This deserves further commentary, but comments like this don’t allow the space for that, even if you were willing to read it.)
