Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 19, 2021

Another candidate for the passenger list of the “B” ark.

Bert & Co. simply will not acknowledge someone else’s facts and will refuse to be bossed by logic or decency.

facts shmackts

But do you know?

Is Bert sucking his beer through a straw? Gross

I’m okay with that as long as you keep your fact-free opinions to your self!

yes, why confuse the issue with facts

The worst part is these same fact-adverse people get voted into office.

Lotta that goin’ around!!!

Let’s not even get started on the second amendment.

Forever to be known as the “Joseph Goebbel’s Amendment”.

The squirrel on the fence is looking at Bert like, “Nope, that nut is TOO big.”

I just read that most of the employees of OANN don’t believe there was voter fraud. They just pander to their deluded audience for ratings.

Been done already. The Religious Freedumb Act. (devil runs my speel check)

Hmmmm… I’d have thought she’d be all over an amendment like that.

Shouldn’t he be wearing a red baseball cap?

My whey or the high weigh.

Shall we agree not to refute anything we can ignore and to ignore anything we can not refute? You know, like politicians.

Paraphrasing Sagan: Believe it with all your heart, it won’t change the facts.

WWWA = what’s wrong with America

You have every right to speak. Just don’t get the idea that anybody has to listen to you.

Seems to be what 90% of the internet thinks the First Amendment even means! Thank goodness the other 10% know better.

It’s Bert needs the amending. That broom delivered with a strong right hand twist upside his ear should do it.

The syntax of the amendment seems a little clumsy.

Having said that, what would us old codgers do, without unsubstantiated opinions to share with others?

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States…. [It is] nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’” — Isaac Asimov

Wrong color hat

Some extreme right wingers are suggesting that ignorant people should not be allowed to vote, even though that would rule out a large segment of their own base.

Groupthink is still just opinion – no matter how often you call it “facts.”

The 1st Amendment doesn’t need an amendment; what it needs is respect!

Just so he stays in his own yard, let him hallucinate.

Proud Dem., but they too are afflicted.

Far too many Berts in the world.

His philosophy is older than that pork pie hat.

Big Tech would certainly be in favor of this “amendment amendment”, since they boot everyone who’s trying to get the facts out there…

Facts are annoying. Ignore them.

The first amendment refers to the government, not the individual

Split infinitive warning

Democrats are myth lovers

Actually it does need an amendment, “The right not to be subjected to a barrage of irrelevant BS (aka advertising).”

Whole lotta folks think Bert’s amendment is already part of the deal, that calling them out for knuckleheadedness is some kind of “censorship”.

One thing we desperatly need is a better understanding of what the First Amendment does and more importantly, doesn’t do. It prevents the government from stopping thestating or publishing of opinions and facts it does not like. The only place government can step in is if such speech can lead to the commission of violence, crimes, or insurrection.

The First Amendment does not say or do one thing about what a person says or wants to say in the world. If some venue decides to cancel the speech of someone with volatile opinions, that is not an infringment of First Amendment rights because the government is not involved. If someone punches you in the mouth for vile, hateful speech, they are guilty of assault but did not infringe your First Amendment rights. A business that is boycotted for supporting an unpopular postion is not having their First Amendment rights violated. They are simply seeing the consequences of what they say and support. You may say what you want but remember that speech has consequences. You must be ready to take the consequences of what you say because the First Amendment almost certainly does not protect you.

National coverage of.. Opps, Trumps out so these things didn’t happen. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=portland+antifa&t=vivaldi&df=w&ia=web

If I wanted censership I’d head for the nearest Eastern Orthodox mass.

Poor woman….married to a Trumper…

The Murdoch media empire is not a philanthropic, idealistic organization. At its very core is one guiding principle: Make Money!

Old Rupert knows what sells, and he certainly knows how to do it – and he has always done it extremely well.

If for the merest fraction of a second, the Murdoch clan thought that they would gain a dime more in advertising revenue, paying readership, and/or viewership by changing into the Leading Liberal Light of the Western World, they’d do a 180° in a parsec! But they won’t because they know what people want to believe and what makes them tick.

I loath News Corp. and all they stand for, but I have to grudgingly admit that they are very good at what they do.

He also flunked Grammar when he wrote his amendment to the amendment.

It should read:

The Right to Never allow anyone to refute my opinions with Facts shall not be infringed, no matter how plain and obvious the supporting evidence may be.

I bet this comic will make the woke crowd’s collective heads explode.
