Bezos and Bridges

Bridges are literally crumbling and falling apart in the United States from decades of neglect. One of President Joe Biden’s accomplishments was the infrastructure package he signed into law last November. On the same day the president was visiting Pittsburgh, a bridge in that city collapsed. Over 45,000 bridges in this nation have been graded in “poor condition.”

Mega-billionaire Jeff Bezos pays very little in taxes if any at all, so despite being worth over $183 billion, he’s not contributing to repairing our infrastructure. But, while not paying to repair bridges in his country, he will pay to dismantle them in Rotterdam, where the citizens are telling him he can just go and rot the fuck off.

The mega-billionaire is having a 417-foot mega-yacht built in Alblasserda, a city in the Netherlands. For it to reach the ocean after it’s completed, it’ll have to pass under the Koningshaven lift bridge…

When the House committee investigating the January 6 white nationalist terrorist attack on the Capitol won its legal case to gain access to documents from the Trump administration, it was discovered that a lot of those documents had been taped back together.

Presidential historian Lindsay Chervinsky told The Washington Post, “The only way that a president can really be held accountable long term is to preserve a record about who said what, who did what, what policies were encouraged or adopted, and that is such an important part of the long-term scope of accountability, beyond just elections and campaigns.” So naturally, with Trump being Trump, he doesn’t want to be held accountable for anything. What other reasons would someone have for destroying documents unless that person is concealing something?

When you are in government service and you start destroying documents, those documents immediately become evidence because you’re breaking the law…

Disqus is blocking my comment

So while doing the roundup I get side tracked on the misleading right wing cartoon sites as I go to the comment sections and have arguments with the right wing cult members.  

This comment was marked as spam:

Mousse. No game, to carry a pregnancy to term is not only life threatening for the woman at the time of pregnancy but it can have life long health consequences. Plus it is getting worse.

The maternal mortality rate for 2019 (20.1 deaths per 100,000 live births) was significantly higher than the rate for 2018
Pregnancy is not to be taken lightly. Common sense would tell you that different circumstances can effect if it is more dangerous or not for the woman. Everything from her health, her support, and how the zygote / fetus grows in her. You should know by now I don’t exaggerate nor am I an emotional person who uses hyperbole to describe things. If I tell you something you think is wrong google it to see, because most of the time I already did to double check my information. I see no point lying to you about anything, I have no ax to grind. The saying is I have no dog in the fight. My goal is only to put out the true information, if you accept it you do but if you don’t it doesn’t harm me in anyway. So when I tell you that taking a pregnancy to term can kill or have life long bad health consequences that is the truth.

Children were taken on late at night non-publicized flights and turned over to adoption agencies who then put those children up for adoption. Now it is true they were fostered, because those adoption agencies do not have large warehouses they store kids in, they don’t have orphanages. They use foster families. Most of those families have many children they care for, many make their income off fostering kids. Many of the kids were adopted. You keep saying they were not adopted; the adoption agencies say they were. So please tell me how you know the kids were not adopted? And what happened to them?

I am willing to have discussions with you but do try to have some coherence. You say leftism is dragging the entire world down the shitter. Wow how powerful the leftism must be, the entire world. Of course the countries that have the highest standard of living are leftist countries by the standards of the US. So tell me what countries you view as shitholes, and if you want, what is a leftist. And how the world is going down the shitter? I really want to know that because the two countries most in the world news are the US and Russia. Neither one claims to be leftist countries.

An agreement between a couple of countries is valid only to those countries and enforced only between those countries. International law is binding on all countries and backed up by treaties and signatures to legal bodies like the UN. There is a huge difference between the two. They are not the same at all. Plus in this case the agreement violated treaties that US has already signed and accepted international laws. The US / Canada safe third country agreement was found in violation of the laws. These agreements have to agree with prior agreements and treaties.

We have received your request for review

Which means someone reported it as spam.  Someone who did not want the facts I quoted known.  In the same section is several real spam messages and they were not flagged.  Nothing I have ever had flagged has ever been reviewed and shown back up.  

In response to a guy who was claiming:

Fostering and getting full custody of a child at risk for abuse is not adopting. And heII yes your side is evil. You want to kill children still in the womb because you’ve dehumanized them as just a clump of cells. Once the egg is fertilized it is a human being, and as such has distinct DNA from both of its parents. You are such an evil piece of shlt to think that they’re not humans, and cowardly to not even want to take care of them or take responsibility for them. HeII, if they’d let me I’d adopt every “unwanted” child. As for “legitimate” asylum claims, they’re required to stop in the first safe country by international law. The majority of these illegals come from countries that, guess what, aren’t Mexico. Which means that they should be stopping in Mexico and asking them for asylum. Or are you going to admit that even you think Mexico is a heIIhoIe?

You’re the one playing games, still refusing to acknowledge that a human is a human. There is literally always a risk for a pregnant woman giving birth. That is not a valid excuse as the chances are not always vastly increased. Again, the children separated from their parents were NOT adopted. Stop telling that Iie. What’s a heIIhoIe? Everywhere that leftism reigns supreme. They’re dragging the entire world down the shltter. And if two countries agree to something, that’s an international agreement. You can maybe argue that law isn’t quite technically accurate terminology wise, but the impact is exactly the same as they both have the force of government repercussions behind them.

I wrote the following, and it was blocked from posting.

So I posted those different sections individually.   All posted except this one.

This one they refused to let post.   So can anyone tell me what was wrong with the single section that Disqus refuses to let be posted, and should I just repost the ones that get hit as spam even though they are not?   

Say WHAT???

Hello Jill. Well done and grandly said. Thank you for saying so well what needs so desperately to be heard. You do great work and I enjoy your posts.

If you have lived your life believing that you are, by definition of your gender and skin colour, one of the superior beings on earth, I imagine it’s rather difficult to accept reality when it hits you in the face.  White males have dominated much of our political and societal ‘norms’ since the beginning of this nation.  Until the year 2008 when we elected Barack Obama, a Black man, to be our president, every president had been white.  And male.  We have yet to elect a woman to the highest office in the land, and in fact relatively few women hold seats in Congress.  And yet … a portion of those white males are now claiming that they are “victims of racism.”  SERIOUSLY???

Women fought long and hard just to get the right to vote … it took them until August 1920!  Men generally did not want women to vote…

The owner of the Washington Redskins, I mean the Washington Football Team, I mean The Washington Commanders, Dan Snyder, is a pervert and I believe all the accusations that are coming out about him. There’s your blog, kids.

I’m tired. I’ve been traveling since 8:00 AM this morning, east coast time. And when I wasn’t traveling, I was spending an hour and a half sitting on tarmacs. One reason was that Vegas is windy so we had to sit in Denver for 30 minutes. The other reason was that there was paperwork in Washington, so we had to sit on the tarmac for an hour. Paperwork? Fuck you, Frontier Airlines.

I wasn’t going to give you a new cartoon today, and if you’re on east coast time, I barely made it. But, I thought it’d be fun to draw the cartoon in airports and tease people about what I was…

Legitimate Political Discourse

Last week, Donald Trump admitted he lost the election and tried to steal it when he said Mike Pence should have overturned it.

Yesterday while speaking to the Federalist Society at an event in Florida, the former vice president replied to Trump’s bogus claim. Now keep in mind that during the Trump administration, there was no bigger kisser of Donald Trump’s ass than Mike Pence. This guy probably snored “thanks to the leadership of President (sic) Trump.” And as much as he may disagree with Trump today, he will never be able to get all the brown off his nose. In fact, it’s a scientific miracle he was somehow able to extract it from Donald Trump’s ass without the jaws of life.

Pence told the Federalist Society (a group where all six conservative members of the Supreme Court have been members), “There are those in our party who believe that…
