Plus, instead of life preservers, they were giving out lead weights.

Bad analogy. I like better the one where some folks on board have decided that they will drill holes in the floor of their very own staterooms, because FREEDUMB to choose.

(And yeah, I know their floor isn’t right above the water: It’s supposed to be an analogy, not a real world description)

As long as they stay well away from the lifeboats and those that want them, I’m good. It’s not a perfect analogy.

Unlike Molly Brown, Captain Trump of The White Power Ocean Liner wasn’t unsinkable and neither was his G.Q.P. that sunk . . . . Thoughts and Prayers. . . ./S

repubs were in charge, what a deal!

I don’t see a down side here…

thin out the herd of fools

They had a lot to do with the ship sinking in the first place.

Ship Of Fools, Plato’s story or Katherine Anne Porter’s are pretty apt tales that describe the Turd Reich right down to the ground. Not that those fools have ever raisen much above the ground to begin with.

To quote James T Kirk, “Let them die.”

Drowning in a sea of covid that they refuse to drain.

There wouldn’t be lifeboats on the Qpublican ship in the first place. If there were, the 1% would be the only ones allowed on and the remainder of the Qs allowed to drown.

There is so much insanity in the Repub states, like my own, that if I shake my head one more time, it might just fall off. Imagine passing a law that bans mask mandates while the state is going through the biggest surge in covid history. Totally nuts.

There are people ALL OVER THE WORLD who would give a KIDNEY to be vaccinated.JMHO: but CHOOSING to be unvaccinated is like smoking. You’re basically saying “yes, I could die, but I don’t care…”

So…it seems that in addressing those of similar political views, you’ve made known the rhetorical nature of your question. All I heard in 2019 was how COVID was no big deal and going away soon. Oh, and once I get it, I’ll also get treatment unavailable to others only to downplay how close to death I was and then continue to dismiss the simple efforts to manage it. Yeah…mixed messages from the nanoobs…

That’s like cutting off their nose despite their face…

Upon arriving today at this toon, I discovered, to my dismay, that people have been feeding the troll, which has caused it to rear up atop the bridge (today’s featured comment, based on most replies), where it’ll be the only reader feedback encountered by 99% of the people who visit this webpage. Congratulations?

Thank you, Mike Luckovich!

We oppose lifeboats, and blame the “elites” if we drown…

This titanic theme was done last year a lot.

It’d be better if the lifeboats weren’t leaky.
