Republicans would have you believe they are ‘tough’ on terror. They are, in fact, not tough.

Trump released over 5000 Taliban fighters, deserted our Kurdish allies, and abandoned American military bases, weaponry, and equipment to hostile foreign interests.

US Conservatives and Russians are both trying to dismantle American democracy

Lindsey went all in for Trump and Brett Kavanaugh. Non-stop bad faith. Never forget.

“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” – Frédéric Bastiat

Pass this on to your ‘both sides’ Putinists.

Boy he thinks highly of himself. 

White terror needs guns, anti-blackness needs books banned.

Exposure leads to improved empathy and emotional intelligence. You build character.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

The desperation runs from the right wing media to find anything to pin on Biden is driving them crazy.   They think centralist Joe is following socialist Sanders.  Have you seen the things Biden endorses right wing people, he is not being led by Sanders anywhere. 

The right wing wants to paint Dr. Fauci as lying to the people.  Why?  Because their Doctors that push Ivermectin and other things that doesn’t work on Covid are lying or crazy.  The head doctor of frontline doctors Stella Immanuel has often claimed that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are in fact caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches. She alleges alien DNA is currently used in medical treatments, and that scientists are cooking up a vaccine to prevent people from being religious.   She is a pediatrician not a virologist or immunologist.   But they believe  her over a Immunologist because she says crazy shit they also believe. 

At CNN, they hold their own accountable, while at Fox, they give them bonuses and promotions.  Somehow because the CEO was having an affair with a vice-president executive in the company and did not report it he felt because he broke the rules he enforces he should resign, and did.  Fox did not have anyone in high position that had the same integrity.  But that some how makes CNN sinking?   Get real. 

While she was wrong in what she said I don’t think there was any malicious intent. I think she was trying to express a point about inhumanity and was not fully versed in the mentality of the Nazis. She apologized with a real apology, not some fake one that put the blame on the victim.

So these people believe infecting others and being 97 times more likely to die from the virus is freedom? What about their responsibilities to their fellow humans? I guess it is freedom to not care for others or how what you do effects them. Seems pretty selfish to me, and if that has been the principle we wouldn’t have had a nation, fought a war to end slavery, joined a war to fight fascism, and so much more that takes the idea that doing something for the good of others even if it costs you personally is worth while.

There is no war on police. There is a war on bad actions by police. There can be no defending police that shoot unarmed people, that torture and beat black people for no reason, police that kill believing they are entitle to do so. There is a movement to adjust the duties and role of police to end militarized policing and return policing to community based serve and protect. It really is that simple. There is no reason to have the police act as an occupying army.

Nice cartoon, but late to the game. See the rate of inflation has slowed. Food prices are stabilized or coming down. The Fed and most economists think that inflation was caused by Covid resulting having to shut down the economy and then the fantastic reopening of everything. Like trying to run a whole swimming pool through a small funnel. But sadly many corporations took advantage and engaged in price gouging also.

Debts and Deficits only seem to matter when Democrats are in the White House.  Get the corporations and all the rich to pay their FAIR share. That stop in the 1970s. The lower and middle class can’t make up for that crap.   Debts and deficits matter if payments can’t be made on them. The U.S. economy has been growing during my lifetime and it hasn’t been an issue.
