Daily cartoon / meme roundup: The US is called the wealthiest country on earth and yet the public is the too poor to enjoy life

Scottie’s world today

I am seeing this sort of cartoon all over the web.
This was drawn by a right wing cartoonist with no acknowledgement that the right denying masks and getting vaccinated would cut down on the chance of another surge in the Covid virus variants.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
It’s NOT because of gas prices. It’s because they don’t want to pay taxes to support anyone but themselves. Trade lower gas prices for lower education, restrictive healthcare, lax safety regulations, more government in your private parts, etc.
Reading the comments on this cartoon was enlightening. Every tenth comment explained that the report did not say that. Every tenth comment explained what the report said, and how it differed from the right wing narrative. Then after the comment that explained things there was a rash of right wing misinformation posted as the real true story and then the insults. That is what the right wing is today.

Man Who Says Gays Are Controlled By Demonic Spirits Complains About “Intolerance To Different Viewpoints”
Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins:
Kristen Waggoner doesn’t get usually get nervous. As one of Alliance Defending Freedom’s top attorneys, she’s argued before the Supreme Court, tackled high-profile cases, and spoken in front of her share of hostile crowds. But something about her visit to Yale University Law School last week felt different. “I can count on about one hand when I get really anxious before something.”
This was one of those moments. Walking into a room filled with a raging student mob didn’t just mean she was in danger — it meant the culture of free speech in higher education was on the verge of complete collapse. But obviously, the students at Yale were never taught about the free exchange of ideas, because the minute Waggoner was introduced, the crowd rose in unison — yelling and holding vile signs about ADF.
When the moderator, a Yale professor, tried to control the situation — reminding students about the campus’s rule to let speakers be heard — the crowd turned on her. As a nation — and the education revolution we’re witnessing is part of this — we have to get back to promoting the free exchange of ideas.
The quote in the headline of this post comes from Perkins’ interview below with Waggoner. The clip is cued up to that moment.
Josh Mandel Calls Opponent “Pussy” In Near Fist-Fight
These are statesmen? This is what passes as reasonable people for the US congress? This is what the Republican party has devolved into. Thugs. Hyper aggressive and quick to anger. Threaten violence to get what you want. The people that voted for tRump love this as they run on emotion. They don’t think things out, they yell and scream.
The right wing Washington Examiner reports:
Ohio Republican Senate candidates Josh Mandel and Mike Gibbons nearly came to blows during a candidate forum Friday evening. Mandel, a former state treasurer and an early front-runner in the race, has targeted Gibbons in recent weeks in the contentious and competitive Republican primary.
At a GOP candidate forum organized by FreedomWorks, Mandel claimed that Gibbons made “billions of dollars” shipping Ohio businesses to China. Gibbons disputed the claim, saying Mandel “never worked in the private sector.”
Mandel then jumped up and stood inches from Gibbons, yelling that he served two tours in Iraq. “Don’t tell me I haven’t worked,” Mandel said.
The Huffington Post reports:
“You’re dealing with the wrong guy,” said Mandel, the race’s evangelical-backed candidate, after a heated exchange about Gibbons’ business interests in China, seemingly mumbling under his breath: “You watch what happens. Pussy.”
Making the incident all the more disturbing, the two men are the current front-runners in the primary to replace Republican Sen. Rob Portman, who is retiring. It underscores just how intense Ohio’s primary has gotten and the extreme plays the candidates are willing to make to get Donald Trump’s attention.
The moderator intervened just as Vance urged them: “Guys, sit down. C’mon. God damn. This is ridiculous.”
