Scottie’s world today

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This was drawn by a right winger to slam Schumer.   I put it here because it really is a slam against the Republicans.   Republicans have become obstructionists.   The only bill they worked with Democrats on are the two things their big donors wanted, in fact insisted on.   The infrastructure bill that had massive benefits for  corporations, and the debt ceiling raise which the wealthy had to have or they would lose a huge pile of money.  Other than that the Republicans say no to everything.   They did the same thing when Obama was president.   The Republicans don’t want to govern they want to stop the government, destroy it so nothing can be done to help the people or benefit the public.  So changing the filibuster is necessary to have a functioning government.   Scottie

The right, the party that bills themself as the pro-life party, is very angered and upset that the idea that the death penalty is being done away with because it doesn’t work as a deterrent, is racially biased, and  more costly along with tying up the courts.   The other advanced developed countries already figured this out and learned that progressive sentencing and detainment works best for lowering recidivism.  Again if the US would get over the idea that everything we do must be the best thing in the world and would look at what really works being done in other countries we would be much better off.    Scottie

Thank you Nan for the above suggestion.   It is grand.   Scottie

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

Really the right needs to catch up.   First it was only one Democratic party member who said motherfucker during a campaign rally.   Once.   What was it tRump repeatedly said?   He cursed all the time.  But really the right not only thinks saying lets go Brandon triggers the left, they are desperate for it to be true.   They are trolls, they are the school yard name callers, little kids giggling they are almost using a naughty word.  Adults don’t care.   Biden did not care.   Most of us are not even thinking of it but the right is full time.   This is what passes for serious legislators in the time of the Marge Greene, Gym Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorn, and the other failing loser kids hanging out in the halls of congress.   Scottie

Same right wing cartoonist paid to try his best to make the Republicans look good and the Democrats look bad.   He rarely even makes sense and his cartoons normal reverse the situation.  But in this case he is right.   Some Republicans have promised to impeach Biden as soon as they get control of the House.   That is their great goal for the country, a revenge impeachment to sooth the ego of the former guy.  Really they said this a few months into Biden’s term.   They do not care that Biden has not violated any laws and that the former guy did, they just want to invalidate any Democratic election win.   They are cheapening the meaning of impeachment again because it stings that their cult leader got impeached twice for breaking laws.  But this is the lofty goals to help the people and country, make impeachment a joke.   Scottie

Partially correct.   The truth is that ICU’s are filling up with anti-vaxxers along with all the other hospital beds so that non-covid emergencies and non-emergency procedures are unable to be treated and proceed.   We have seen the stories, verifiable stories of people dying because there were no beds available in the hospitals due to anti-vax Coronavirus who are really sick.   I was not sure if this cartoon was mocking the idea that non-vaxxed people are getting really sick or if it was mocking the vaccinated.    Scottie

I hate how the right likes to misrepresent the relationship between Biden and the progressives.   The progressives are the ones that were fighting for Biden’s agenda.   The build back better bill was Biden’s agenda, what he ran on, what he wanted.   The full bill, not the stripped down version.   Yet the media keeps trying to portray the progressives as the ones sabotaging Biden’s plans instead of the real villains killing it, Manchin and the other old corporate politicians right and left.  The right wants to hide the truth and blame others for their actions.  Sound familiar?   Scottie

Rivers is on a roll for misleading anti-Biden cartoons.   This one is just a general slam at Biden because he / the right hates what Biden is doing and wants the right to think Biden is a failure even though they never can show what he failed at.   What policy is being addressed here?  None, it is just hate Biden please.   Scottie

There has been no wide scale defunding of the police, nor has any real police reform been enacted.  The one place the police were radically changed in NJ it worked really well.    The problem is the police have become the very monsters they are to protect the people from.  The police are a gang of thugs who prey on the public like a military occupying force ruling over a prisoner population.   That police believe they can get away with the worst actions against the public and if they do get caught no real punishments happen to them.  At most they use to get fined, which the people had to pay not the cops.   Now lately several cops have been found guilty of killing.   But that is two out of …   Heck one  police department was found to have cops protecting a sex trafficking ring in exchange for sex.   It seems it was rather widely known.   This is their idea of serve and protect?   Police reform is desperately needed.  No more militarized cops on the streets.   They want to be military, let them join the military and fight for the country, not against our own people.    But to them it is a game with other peoples lives, theirs is never in danger.   Scottie

The people wanting government to serve their needs rather than cater to the wealthy. It is about where taxpayers dollars going. To the public needs, or the wealthy wants. Will the government work for the people or only for the wealthy. History has shown the best economic times while being the most product the country had was during the period that corporations and wealthy paid a much higher tax which they could afford and still gain great wealth. Scottie

Notice the bait and switch here by the misleading right wing media.   See the cartoon implies and wants the right to read that there is no consensus about vaccines.    The reality is that there is complete consensus that the vaccines work and everyone who can should get them.   The split in consensus is on the Republican side and is about if mandates for vaccines work.  But the truth is it is only a Republican talking point used by Republican governors and media.   The data shows that mandates / rules do increase compliance not only with vaccines but any enforced rule.   It is common sense.   But if you want data the police union in NY City was claiming that thousands of cops would quit if forced to vaccinate.   But only 34 really were willing to quit.   Enough said. 

A day the Republicans want to forget entirely, and wipe it from history because it clearly was an insurrection attempt against the US government. The Republicans want people to forget what their supporters did that day so they can try it again and the next time have a successful coup against the peaceful transfer of power. Scottie

Oh yea the right has something to blame Biden for.   I guess it was tRump’s fault there was a toilet paper shortage?   There is an increased demand for testing due to everyone gathering for holidays and businesses want to test all their employees.   This too will work itself out.   Scottie
