Steve Kelley for January 17, 2021

People who lie and incite violence must be silenced. There, fixed that for you Skelly.

Trump Disciple SKelley likes to include compound LIES in some of his cartoons, like today.

How, exactly, does “The Left” silence anyone?

And, what is it that “seems like the obvious truth”? Is that ‘obvious truth’ the thing where Biden is elected president?

.

The Trump Insurrection Mob was not only not silenced, they beat a cop to death.

They. Beat. A. Cop. To Death.

.

I guess SKelly and the other Trump Disciples are perfectly comfortable with that.

Because Freedom! Law&Order! And so Patriotic that they used the staff of an American Flag to beat the cop.

.

Congratulations, SKelley. You helped all you could. And so did the Republican* Congressmen who provided reconnaissance.

Better keep this cartoon away from any open flame; it’s full of straw.

You comic makes zero sense. It also misrepresents what those on the left have said, especially if you’re talking about the fake outrage about the election. Or the insincere call for “unity” after the seditious attack on the Capitol and democracy. As all courts require actual evidence on both the prosecution and the defense, I fail to see how demanding actual evidence is anything other than correct and just.

What on earth is Steve talking about. Facbook and Twitter court? Is anyone arresting the people from Parler? I am pretty sure breaking into the Capitol and killing a cop aren’t protected speech. But Maybe Steve supports killing cops now.

People that choose evidence-free conspiracy theories over sane logical thought must be prevented from performing terrorist acts. Fixed it for ya.

A trump disciple wrote a letter to my local paper complaining that there is no coverage of the “victim” Ashli. Saying the police officer that shot her should be arrested. She was in the armed forces, and took an oath to defend the constitution. She wasn’t a victim, she was a traitor breaking in a secured door. All of them are lucky they were not black, or there would have been more than one traitor shot and killed.

I watched the vidio of the traitor being shot. There were several police officers in front of the doors. The traitors were reaching in between the officers and breaking out the glass, not one officer tried to stop the traitors. Then the officers moved away from the doors, and the traitors started breaking more glass and trying to break down the doors. I couldn’t tell in the video if the traitor had breached the doors when she was shot, but she got what she deserved. I will say it again. If the protesters (traitors) were black, there would have been more than one killed. White (supremacists) privilege on display.

Can’t put on a defense if you don’t have any proof to back up your claims.

The Von Domarus principle at work, folks.

No, that is stupid, SKelley. No one, other than yourself, has even suggested that.

Another mentally ill right wing cartoon.

Its the right wing who tells lies constantly and hides from the truth.

The 2021 trials of the right wing traitors begins in March.

MontanaBill confuses “liberal” with “sane”.

Kelley still raving on, I see.

The far left’s intolerance is shaped by the ignorance of youth. The far right’s intolerance is formed by the rigid certainty of the aged.

No “seems like obvious truth.” The obvious truth. Trump lost by 7,059,741 votes; Biden 51.4% to trump 46.9%. Period.

The left can hardly be heard in the US, and it’s been that way for well over a hundred years. The campaign to shut down and shut up the left has been so successful that most people don’t even know what the left stands for.

Looks like Steve Kelly is taking a dig at Twitter and Face Book. I wonder what Steve’s opinion would be if the current President were a Democrat, doing and saying the same things as Trump?

I guess we are the radical left because we believe in truth, and the right believes all the lies?!?!

When caught with your hand in the cookie jar.. your first words should not be “Not Guilty”. Justice has become chess game with lawyers looking for loopholes instead of seeking justice.

Justice.. has become the best/worst self serving industry in America

What planet are you on, Steve. No one has been silenced for presenting opposing views. They have had their access to social media restricted because they fomented violence and sedition.

So it’s ok for the rioters and looters to do damage all summer long and no major arrests…?

Steve, old boy, you shouldn’t pick on trump. He is your president, and can believe whatever he likes.

Baloney.

Where is this crap coming from?

shouting fire in a crowded building: still free speech?

It is apparent that Mr. Kelley works to strict guidelines, and, probably, cartoon-by-cartoon review by Post-Gazette management.

We realized the Republican party was the party of sedition and destruction of our country when they refused to call witnesses in the first impeachment. In the face of overwhelming evidence of corruption and presidential violation of his oath of office, Republicans decided to cover for the corrupter in chief by refusing to call witnesses. That enabled him to set up what became his attack on the election. Republican leaders, including the minority leader in the House, signed up to carry the water for the president, challenging the results of the election. 50 state administrations, many of which are Republican states, certified the election results, yet Ted Cruz and others repeated the lie that the election had been stolen. More than 50 lawsuits challenging the election result, including two appeals to the Supreme Court, failed on their merits. Yet, the Republicans carried on, encouraging the Big Lie that the election was stolen. Even now the Republicans are trying to find ways to block the corrective actions the new administration is proposing to fix the problems the Trump administration has created. Is it not enough that Trump’s actions have resulted in the death of over 400,000 of our family, friends, and neighbors? Is it not enough that he encouraged a deadly attack on the Congress that was doing its constitutional duty to certify the election results? When will we say “ENOUGH!” to this cancer that is the Republican party?

LOL, Trumpers have been cancelling the arguments of the defense for the past four years… and now they cry about the culture they’ve established?

sigh… the Right and its victim mentality.

Oh, I get it…moaning about twitter, God, another nancy-boy.

What? Though I suppose, to those that only spew hate and lies, might get upset when people correct them with facts or even stop them from actually harming people.

The old soviet ways were better. ‘Re-educate’ them in the Gulags. And if they can’t be re-educated, well………the right extreme seems to love the idea of capital punishment.

Hey Kelley! ~ Given that all 50 State Capitals and the Nation’s Capital are under creditable threats of attack by armed protestors intending to overthrow an election I don’t think “cancel culture” is the biggest thing that we have to worry about that moment.

Straw man much, skelly? Yes, ‘the left’ is a monolith, and we all mindlessly parrot empty slogans. Not like those free thinking intellectual giants of the RepubliCON party. Um, what was the Can Party platform last election? Oh, right. They didn’t have any platform at all beyond “Whatever t**** says”. Your cartoon is shallow and disingenuous.

The problem is “seems like” as it seems like even Skelley points out (probably by accident, since his target audience doesn’t like “nuance”). Actual facts are remarkably slippery when you get up close and personal, and that’s why we do need trials. And refereed journals. And demand repeatability.

Show respect for your new president.

People chanting “Hang Mike Pence” while attacking the Capitol building should have the Right to Free Speech?

FOX SPEWS UDATE: Moscow Mitch and his wife are now on the enemies list. They are HORRIBLE CROOKED PEOPLE since Mitch suggested the G.O.P.’s in Congress might vote with the DEMOCRATS when the Senate votes. Sounds like the 4 year Honeymoon with Donnie and Mitch is over. I guess that’s FREE SPEECH, right Steve ?

Remember the recent USA Navy recruiting ad that claimed ‘In order to get to you, they have to get past us?" " I blog so the Navy, the CIA, the FBI and all my local deputies don’t lose me as a public informant.’ – Howard Caine fan

In court, neither side can lie. It’s a pleading of a case which involves many things, and sometimes arrives at an actual truth. (All this in a perfect world.) Anyway, this is not even a false analogy, it’s not an analogy. It’s just anal.
