Matt Wuerker for August 19, 2022

MW…Perfectly apt toon and terrifyingly possible. Not that I like or would ever vote For Hillary, but if she had won the electoral college, besides having won the popular vote against Trump, do you think we would be in this political, cultural and medical crisis that we’re in now? I think we’d still be complaining about other things, but not the catastrophic damage Trump has done to us all.

The suckers and losers who support dolt.45 are political termites who feed on American institutions.

Exactly, Mr. Wuerker.

Again, excuse the repost, but I think people should be aware of the Republican platform: Despite being in the minority, members of the SCOTUS, “Conservatives,” RWNJs, and white supremacists are attempting to drag this country back to their imaginary Jeffersonian agrarian idyl. The 1790 census (when Jefferson was Secretary of State), counted 5.3M Americans. Only white males owning 50 acres or more of land were permitted to vote, approximately 6% of the population. Free white men who did not own land, free white females, and slaves could not vote. In 1790 the American population was largely rural, making a living by farming. Our most recent census counted 332,403,650 Americans. Current estimates are that 83% of Americans live in urban areas. They do not work at farming. In pursuit of “small government,” the following are conservatives’ goals for their Jeffersonian America: 1. No women’s rights. 2. No civil rights for people of color, or for any other minority groups. 3. No immigration, other than Caucasians. 4. No labor unions. 5. No health insurance. 6. No legal recourse due to Republican-packed courts. 7. No social security. 8. No disability insurance. 9. No minimum wage. 10. No free and fair elections (ultimately, no elections). 11. Imposed state religion; government funding of religious schools. 12. Unregulated militias unchecked by Republican-packed courts. 13. No work on mitigating climate change; no environmental protections. 14. No free press. GOP politicians don’t care about the environment or mitigating climate change because they intend to stay permanently in office and use their money and power to take over remaining livable locations as environmental conditions worsen. Republican leaders don’t care if America dies as long as they can feed off the carcass for their lifetimes. Why do you people who support today’s GOP, Trump, and Trump wannabes think that you will come out winners under this regime?

Ah, the GQP wet dream.

it is easy to see the GQP no longer be lives in democracy, they know they can not win elections fairly so they are gaming the system

The idea of the justice system and a type of prison reminded me of Trevor Noah’s recent monologue.

A fine depiction of the MAGA Republican platform.

I hope no Republicans see this…

All Hail the Prophet, Nehemiah Scudder!

“…sweet reasonableness won’t get you anywhere in this racket. To make yourself heard you have to be a demagogue, or a rabble-rousing political preacher like this fellow Nehemiah Scudder. We’re going merrily to hell and it won’t stop until it ends up in a crash.”

Church people always assume the State Church will be their church. What if it isn’t?

Republicons can’t relate to anyone with a brain so they have to appeal to lower forms of life.

Wowsers! That was incredibly correct. I take my hat off to you.

It’s the party of Jim2g, muddy usa, firebird gunner, opspecial, ultra ammosexual, sammy snyder, kat and alfred brown, what a party, huh, guys?:

If hate and anger could be transformed into construction you guys could build descent housing for all the illegals coming into the country and have enough left over for the poor and needy citizens.

Takes a carpenter to build a house, any idiot can tear it down.
