Daily cartoon / meme roundup: The workers do all the real work to make the profit while the upper incomes claim they are the job creators

Scottie’s world today

A majority of the right wing comments are simply insults with no information, no credible sources, and no acceptance of reality.  They some how think winning is to “own the libs with insults” like little kids on a school playground.

For some reason when Macron went to talk to Putin over the issue of Ukraine they were seated at a table with like 20 feet between them. 

The snow is all man made

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

I did not think Rivers could sink any lower than he has been, but he surprised me with this one.  I don’t post it for the message but to see how some right wing cult members see the world. 

It’s a sad comic. President Biden really wants unity but the GOP has no wish to join the US of A.   Got to give Joe credit for trying though.. His predecessor actively did and continues to divide the nation.   Biden would love to have a unified government but you can not expect the Republicans to do anything to help the country because they think their chances of reelection come from denying Biden anything especially if it helps the public. 

So true. The misleading right wing media arm of the Republican party can not stand to have Biden credited with anything. They are all about obstruction and misinformation to try to get Republicans elected to office.

Really asinine. Non-citizens can not vote! It takes years. In general, a non-citizen must spend at least 5 years as a lawful permanent resident to be eligible for naturalization while a spouse of a U.S. citizen must spend at least 3 years as a lawful permanent resident3. The median years spent as an LPR for all citizens naturalized in FY 2020 was 7.1 years. To think this is the Democrats plan you give Democrats far to much credit for future planning.

The cartoonist is way off base, no one I knows says it is OK for Democrats to use the N-word.  I think this is in anger over Republicans being called on the carpet for using that word.  Having said that I have an issue with “bad words”.  I really don’t think there are any words that should be outlawed.   I understand that words can hurt and wound.   I have some words that make me cringe and Ron has words he doesn’t like me to use.   But words only have the meanings we give them, and it is the same with the power words have.  Their power comes from us.   By making the word referred to by its initial makes it more powerful than it ever should be.  It is not like a person doesn’t know what the N-word means so is their a difference between using the word or using the n-word to mean the same thing.   

Complete lie and misdirection. The crime has risen in cities and states with both Republican and Democratic leadership. Plus crime is still lower than it has been in the last decade. It is expected to decline as the country returns to non-pandemic conditions. What prosecutors are doing is not prosecuting non-violent crime with lower dollar values so that they can use more programs designed to rehabilitate people and not feed the school to prison for profit pipelines. They are not prosecuting low level drug crimes such as possession when so many states have legalized cannabis. The sad fact is there is profit in incarcerating a lot of people in the country, there is a political reason to incarcerate black people and take away their voting rights. There is an attempt to stop any reforms to the justice system and prosecutions in the US. Again this cartoon is misdirection and misinformation.

No police forces have been defunded, most have seen budget increases. However the Republicans did vote against more money for the police. Yes the Republicans did vote no to police getting more money! The Build Back Better bill had money for police departments all across the US and Republicans killed it. Not one Republican voted for it. So save your pious fake tears.

And now some for fun

On the above, Ron and I tell each other when we are going to go for a nap so the other can join in.  But we have only been together 32 years.
