Given the conflict between his pronouncements and the video evidence, he has clearly lost touch with reality -- exhibiting what the mental health profession calls schizophrenia -- and there's little question that he is a danger to others if not to himself. Lock him up in a psych ward.
I didn't laugh at the cartoons today. But that's not remotely the fault of political cartoonists. In my >60 years in the deep south I observed "legal racism"(segregation) in the deep south, and went to DC with my family to see assassinated JFK lie in state.
I know I hoped for better by now.
This is how the Rittenhouse "acquittal" (also known as the "Kill Libs At Will" decision) was celebrated next to my family home in the rural deep south:
"...my far-right neighbors and many relatives...went all-out celebrating on the day after the Kyle Rittenhouse “verdict” was delivered in November 2021. To the far-right, Rittenhouse’s self-defense acquittal (while being too young to legally own the assault rifle he used to murder two unarmed, peaceful, legal protesters, and maim a third) was a loud shout to each Trump worshipper that killing Americans they disagree with politically would forevermore be deemed “justified”, and they seemed dedicated to giving Trump all the credit. To honor what they saw as their new “Kill at Will” freedom, several dozen armed white men alternately spent the entire day (until several hours into night) shooting their many guns in the closest possible field to the “local liberal”, while staying just within the law. (I’ll let you guess who that particular liberal is…)
Why were they firing in the dark? I try not to think about that too hard...
I'm not generally afraid of individual MAGA, but dozens of them armed with alcohol and every gun they own? That's a bit off-putting, even after my >60 years in the deep south.
I also didn't laugh at these cartoons today, being so aware of their ability to show the absolute truth about what is now taking place in our country. I hope and pray these artists can continue to speak truth to power. We need all forms of resistance to oppression.
All these entries are brilliant commentary, drawn and written with incredible skill and insight. I so appreciate this daily review, which somehow lightens my despair because we indeed are all in this together. Thanks to all.
The toon about the blood stained hands of this low life president stating "Give us your voter rolls" is so very true. When Noem sent the letter demanding them as a solution, it screamed out loud how far they are willing to go to stay in power. The know the Blue Wave will send them all to impeachment trials.
Holman sold his place in Sackets Harbor after sending a family off. The protest got them brought back after they paraded past the house. His address is VA according to the property sales in Jefferson county.
Bovino left. How shall the Californians receive their prodigal son?
Change all the height requirements on Disneyland rides to just barely exclude him?
Well written, Chiquita!
ARF!!!

Off to Broadmoor!
My shot last week. No pun intended, even as a Minnesotan.

Very much enjoyed the "Boink Boink" on the iron dome, very sad but true!

I don't trust Holman either.
True enough, Rosemary.
Though the guy who the FBI recorded taking a $50K bribe is very likely the "moral compass" of the current White House.

Bovino should be tried and wind up at the end of a “short drop.”
Great post, not funny so much as to the point.
