Sunday political cartoons / memes / news items. I think I held this batch to the right size.

I was reading up on the history of diphtheria and ran across this interesting fact.

He’s never visited a mosque in the country where he’s president but he’s happy to do it in a country where he can make money

In the days of yore, this would end a political career. A DNI firing intel officials who reported something in contrast to a president trying to abuse emergency powers. We're the frogs and the water is at a rolling boil, folks.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the United States, not an individual. That’s why it is now a public monument and not sitting in Grover Cleveland’s presidential library (not sure if he even has one)

Among the victims of the Jabalia massacre were a group of orphaned children.They had gathered to receive financial aid from a charity when they were targeted.All the orphans were martyred, along with the charity’s staff, now raising their complaint of betrayal to their Creator.

Seems to me that if there’s a senile guy doing nothing in particular the usual way and a senile guy setting everything on fire, the fire guy is the one who should be the focus of media inquiry

This can’t be true because Trump already declared victory over the Houthis & said he wiped them out already after a month of missile attacks that cost us 6 Reaper drones and 2 fighter jets, and the handful of remaining Houthis have surrendered because they are afraid of him.

How about fixing the air traffic control system?

When that second intelligence memo came out that said Tren de Aragua was not a proxy for the Venezuelan government, I was certain someone was going to lose their job. Sure enough.

Let me get this straight. While this Admin is pushing to take $6 a day away from hungry kids on SNAP to root out "wasteful spending” they see no issue spending over a billion of your hard-earned tax dollars to replace Air Force One with a Qatari jet (the President got for free)??

The science is clear, there is no single, physiological or biological marker that allows for the simple categorisation of people as male or female.This means that you can’t use chromosomes alone, you can’t use genitalia, you can’t use testosterone levels to divide people into male or female.

They're going to profile anyone gender nonconforming to push them out of the military. Too feminine as a man? You're out. Too butch as a woman? You're out. This will be a de facto ban on queer people as well.
