Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 17, 2018

I know when I hit that tree it jumped out at me.

Blame shifting is just the tip of the iceberg.

All the iceberg’s fault ? That’s cold.

Reminds me of spineless Republicans jumping ship and doing not a damn thing. The “ship of state” is sinking.

Actually, the Titanic sinking WAS covered by SPIN, but of a different form. The ship was dangerously designed, corruptly built (all kinds of cheating on the welding, etc.), and not very carefully navigated. A fair verdict would have ruined the company. So, building on the totally fallacious “unsinkable” ad campaign, the Star Line claimed that it was hubris — human vanity, thinking that they were above nature — that was at fault. Because hubris, unlike negligence, is not a tort. And they got away with it. They did not have to pay the millions upon millions of compensation that they ought to have. And the hubris story was repeated for a century.

By any chance, would that be the ship of state?

“I asked the iceberg, he said he didn’t do it. NO COLLISION FAKE NEWS – SAD”

The last few seconds of the “Trumptanic”.

Like yesterday’s strip, this one goes both ways politically, but tends to skew left in news and social media and on university campuses.

Iceberg’s fault? Sure, blame it on the Jews.

…said J. Bruce Ismay.

Blame it on the Guelphs or Ghibellines. Take your pick.

Hmm, The DNC?

Nah… It’s just fake news.

@Painted Wolf said:“….There’s a lot of ice on Greenland which is going to take a long time to go away….”

Tell that to the folks in Greenland who just last week at to evacuate part of their town because of an huge iceberg coming too close and their fear that if it calves, the town will be flooded.

Blame the other guy has been Commissar tRUMP’s tactic looong before he entered politics.

Sigh… I give up… You don’t win friends and influence people, or policy, for that matter, by insulting people and calling them names.

When you do that, you besmirch your own arguments.

And I’m talking about both sides here – not specific individuals or groups.

you doubtless also pine for the days when lake erie was a huge puddle of sludge and the cuyahoga river would periodically catch fire. you know, the days before “socialists” passed environmental regulations to clean things up…

On the USS tRumpf, he’d blame it on those Liberals down in 3rd Class Steerage who refused to jump Overboard when ordered.

If they hadn’t weighed the ship down, it would have Floated, even with the Hole in it.

So we can go ahead with the plans for a new Titanic right?
