The way corporations and the wealthy work it so the lower incomes must always pay.
They really are a lure for black market profiteers. According to my (possibly out of date) information, the active ingredient of catalytic converters is platinum. Carbon based gasses ‘break’ against tough large molecule metal alloys which include platinum. It accounts for the high price of catalytic converters and why they are so much more expensive if their is no return of the used converter. I have no idea how difficult it is to render catalytic converters down to pure platinum and separate it from the other materials in the alloy.
Palestinians live as an occupied people under military rule. They are not covered by civil laws that Israeli population enjoys. Palestinians are dealt with in military courts by military judges following military rules.
Tough little one, was willing to let it go but they pushed the situation.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
Right but no mention of the millions tRump cost the taxpayer playing gulf at his properties. Need I say more? But I am running into complete amnesia over the things tRump did and said. His cult followers and the bots online seem unable to remember any of tRump missteps and false statements.
Remind us again why we should fund law enforcement that targets the poor and the minorities routinely to enrich themselves while enjoying immunity from any prosecution?

Fact: the United States of America has a greater percentage of it’s population in jail than any other country in the world. We need reform, all right, but not the reform conservatives favor.
• We put twice as many citizens per capita in prison than Russia, which is the only other big country that routinely imprisons a large fraction of their people
• 6 x more per capita than Canada
• 9 x more than Germany
• 12 x more than Ireland
• 14 x more than France
• 5 x more than China [not including their concentration camps]
• 5 x more than England
Americans are either :
❒ – the most criminal people in the world
or
❒ – we are doing something terribly wrong
The above cartoon was on comics kingdom. I have a bunch of those sites in my roundup check bookmarks. However often times the rabid insulting cult members get to post the most stupid disinformation, but my comments get removed or banned. Below is the one I wrote about this cartoon which has been removed. I have no idea why and there is no way to appeal.
The drums of war are always being beaten by those who find profit in wars. The defense contractors building everything the military needs to the contractors that supply the services that come with moving and caring for troops over seas. There is the money the media gets to both promote what side pays the most to filling peoples needs for the most sensational news to feed clicks. There are people like Lindsey Graham that have never seen a military intervention and police action he was against to people who really don’t want our troops injured like the families of those troops. Notice it is not the children of the high ranking politicians on the front line even if they join the National Guard during a war sucking up able bodied men to kill and main, like W Bush did. However we do have a duty to democracy and human rights. Some times the US has to stand up to the bullies and try to defend the ideals we claim to have. Even if we are violating those ideals at home and abroad ourselves.
Vaccinated people are LESS LIKELY to be hospitalized and may even be completely symptom-free. Vaccinated people are therefore LESS LIKELY to transmit the disease to others. Is it perfect? Of course not. Is ANYTHING perfect? Of course not.
I wonder if it was made in China like the trump maga hats.
Oh yes that is what we should strive for in the US is vigilant justice and gang enforcement instead of a government rule of laws. Heck why have courts, save the money and let police met out what ever punishment they want. Let every private citizen met out justice according to their mood and recently watched movies. that would be fair right? Because that will make everything so much better for everyone.
No I am not in favor of crimes nor criminals. But we need a uniform system of justice and reasonable responsive punishments for breaking the laws to have a civilized country. We really need to address the reasons for crime, what makes the criminal and why they do what they do. Ask why the US has so much more crime than other developed countries and such a higher prison population than any other country in the world. Is it just the US is more criminal? Are we just worse people? It is not a bumper sticker response that fits on a cartoon but it works far better than just locking everyone up and having for profit prisons charge the taxpayer for profit. Crime and how it effects people is a serious issue, and just wanting a feel good retribution fantasy is not a viable solution.
Yup just want it was designed for right? Talk about shifting the conversation. The vaccine also wont lift a rocket to the moon. But inflation and crime it might help reduce as people go back to work feeling safe both crime and inflation will drop.

Hello Nan. Sunday is a hard one. I try to have it done by 10 AM so that Tengrain can add it to his recommended Sunday reading post. I try to limit my arguing with the right wingers, today did not stick to that very well. The problem with adding comments to the right wing cartoons on their sites is the cult members and bots never let anything go by. They argue every right wing talking point, every Qanon lie, and rage against the left Democrats destroying the country. If I leave a fact I get five responses telling me what a lie it is and how it is been proven wrong by Fox, OAN, Newsmax, Breitbart or some other deep host, if they mention a source at all. If you go to that site link I gave you he put up a new set of pictures and funny comics.
