Mike Lester for February 09, 2019

Mikey can’t be this stupid by accident.

What’s the matter Mr. Lester? Are you afraid that they are going to take away you billions of dollars?

Ha! as if we’d build a wall.

When will those nasty women and minorities stop preying on poor, innocent defenseless billionaires?!

Ya hav ta shootim, before they eat ya.

The word socialism doesn’t make him socialist. Even more, the gun makes him GOP in disguise.

Made me laugh.

I’m sure this will qualify for a ‘Golden MAGA Award’.

Which wall are we talking about, the wall in our den, the Great Trump Wall, or the wall of Time Magazine Cover at Mar a Lardo?

And yet another knee jerk ridiculous comment making women who expect to be treated with respect the villains. Here’s an idea; use whatever gray cells you have and try to find another group to blame for every one of society’s ills; for instance-oh, I don’t know-megalomaniacal a**holes!

Lester probably draws better than Rush Limbaugh or Alex Jones.

There are political cartoons of every stripe available. At first I wondered why those who routinely spew hatred for Lester’s bother to read them, as they obviously are not educated by them, but then I remembered that anger can be a great energizer. I suspect the lefties troll right wing cartoonists to feel alive and purposeful.

Cute, but the ideas behind alternatives to unrestrained capitalism in the 18th and 19th centuries didn’t spring up in a vacuum. I assume you have access to a history book or two.

I agree!

Alwayswrong consistently using logic that is always wrong.

Because liberal rich people don’t give away all their money, conservative rich people don’t have to stop being bastards! /s

Just like: Because Bernie Sanders owns more than one home, we should all support the worst members of Congress instead of him. DERRRP!!! /s

Keep poking them mike Lester. good job! I love it when the same old rag tag bunch of snakes crawl out of their holes and spew the same old tired drivel. The fools think they are sending a message that will change the minds of everyone that didn’t vote for Hillary. HA, I get a kick out of their cookie cutter responses. 2 years from now they can resume their hate and venom for 4 more years HA! chew on this fools.

While I have little to no expectation of nuance in these comments, the absolutes being thrown around are amazing. Two seemingly contradictory things can be true. Socialism is “bad”: absolutist leaders, utopian goals trotted out as a tool to control people, taking property w/o compensation (my dad’s family lost theirs in 1948 Czechoslovakia), millions killed, etc. But maybe if some critics could get beyond the word itself, they might see socialism is “good”: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, the “sewer socialists” in my hometown building a sewage system, a park system for the benefit of the people, etc. Maybe critics might reconsider that it is POWER and the pursuit of it in ANY system that is the root of the issue, not the “ism” itself.

Showed this to some of my liberal friends, who are all unaware of Lester’s work, and they all responded in agreement. So, congrats, Mike “Eat the Rich” Lester, you’re a hero on the left today!

Benj. Franklin famously asked “What good is a newborn baby?”

It seems to me we should ask the same of a newly minted billionaire.

The answer, it seems to me, depends on what that particularly effulgent excrescence of moneyhood does with the money. If it is well used, perhaps (s)he has real value. But it seems unlikely that a person who cares that much about piling it up will be good at putting it to good use.
