Bob Gorrell for May 02, 2022

The Rump won the last election. The libs are eating babies. The virus is a hoax. Jewish space lazers started the California fires…

Well Gorrell got the date wrong. And lied about the rest… except for some of the meta-lies such as “when did you stop beating your dog?”

Boy these republican really love quoting 1984 it’s like they actually love communism

Is hyperpartisanship what the devious enemies of the United States of America are using with the aid of innuendo/disinformation/lies/conspiracy theories, to divide and weaken us from INSIDE the union?

Gorrell, All good except for panel 5 that should have read “Trump always tells the truth and acts in the best interests of the American people”….then it would have been spot on.

Well look what strip came up on Bob’s play list today. Just need to edit the dialogue and send it out. Done!

Nailed it, Bob!

It’s interesting how immediately and wary the right-wing became about the Homeland Security’s ‘Disinformation Governance Board’, knowing that the only way to counter such a board will be to verify their empty declarations with substance, and also knowing that endangers everything they say or do.

Misnamed. It should be the Knowledge Governance Board (KGB).

2/45

Gorrell copy/pastes the 6 panel news anchor from

and replaces the heads with this one

if you think people fleeing violence in Central and South America is bad now, just wait until people have to flee the effects of climate change.

If inflation is so bad, why are giant corporations making record profits?

how many cartoons have you done calling for people to look into the corruption of Trump’s kids and son-in-law?

“Disinformation board to tackle Russia, migrant smugglers” – so that included addressing one of the issues causing problems at the border + countering the RW jerks like Trump and Rand Paul and his Russia / Putin backing.

The exaggerations about this department are as false as the RW blaming inflation on Biden. There are many factors to the economy that are out of his hands. Started with supply-and-demand issues, worsened by too much of U.S. manufacturing and production sent to other countries and companies “investing” in their own stock after their tax cuts rather than building inventory during pandemic. Companies, especially oil companies, are posting record profits because they are using the bleating about inflation to raise their prices far more than they need to cover their costs. This causes other prices to increase because fuel costs affect everything else.

If it’s really 1984, shouldn’t Regan be president? If so, why is Bob Gorrell blaming Hunter Biden for everything?

This is troubling to me. In the very short term it might help- at the edges with someone who could be persuaded by facts. Superposition has posted multiple times about how folks are most likely to dig their heels in unless new information comes from someone they trust.

In the longer term- the Rs will win another election at some point. What would this dept look like under them?

The virus would be listed as a hoax. Jade Helm-15 will (I’m looking into the future now) be listed as a Democratic attempt to overthrow the govt of TX- which will then be used to justify 1/6. Tan suits will have been illegal going back to the time of Jesus writing the constitution of the United States. Children killed in a mass shooting will have their official last words listed as “Only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun”.Every woman who gets raped will be officially listed as “having asked for it”. And since this is the Republicans- the age of consent will be set to 6.

Just because we CAN do something doesn’t mean we should.

I think I just heard a clock strike thirteen.

Considering the flood of “1984” references will reading/sales of that book increase any? I hear it’s on any number of “banned book” lists for reasons, so good luck with that.

Goofy Gorrell follows the GQP meme of projecting their agenda on others, Just like Al did.

Was Gorrell in a coma throughout the former guy’s term in office?

You know, all these statement from panel three onward are largely correct, from a particular point of view. Taken generally, they all make sense.

‘Reminds me of Juan Williams when he was the Liberal voice on The Five before he left in May ’21 — every time his co-commentators would bring up rising crime in the cities, he’d get a puzzled look on his face and say, “What rising crime rate? There is no rising crime…”

Of course the Q- and Trumpublicans are upset about this. When all you’ve got is making up lies and repeating them endlessly, it leaves them with no “platform.” Of course the left will get busted occasionally, but reality tends to favor the liberal point of view. Jewish space lasers and George Washington defending the airports during the revolution, not so much.

The comments here are pretty scary.

I didn’t think I’d see the day when Liberals were calling for a Government Censorship Department and claiming that anyone who sees freedom of speech issues is a liar.

yep…and tRump never grabbed any pu$$ys…did’nt have sex with a porn star when his wife was pregnant…never sexually harassed over 22 women…never walked into ladies changing rooms at beauty pagents…. always paid his fair share of taxes…never told a lie…really had bone spurs to keep him out of the army….and never held a grudge….oh yea…and is naturally colored orange…..

I think it’s called projection when you assume someone will behave the same you would.

^No. Projection is accusing someone else of exhibiting your bad psychological traits and problems.

Wow. Pots and kettles. I would like you to do us a favor, though.

Once again Gorrell-bage is a place where ultra-rightwing liars come to share their lies.

Isn’t 1984 where the Republicans want to take us back to?

as always, ol’ kellogg is hard at work making things up. oh, okay, let’s call it what it is – kellogg is, as always, lying through his teeth…

Republicans lie constantly, they need full time fact checkers.

From an AP report:

“A newly formed Disinformation Governance Board announced Wednesday will immediately begin focusing on misinformation aimed at migrants, a problem that has helped to fuel sudden surges at the U.S. southern border in recent years. Human smugglers often spread misinformation around border policies to drum up business.”

===

H/T to Mike Peterson of CSOTD in a commentary about Gorrell’s cartoon.

He goes on to say that it would take considerably MORE effort to AVOID noticing than to notice.

Imagine the Republicans putting Q-anon in charge of this new department in 2024.
