And they make the most surreal noises.

This fking asshole can take his apology & shove it. He has the balls to say even though he knew he was lying to ppl it wasn't intentional. Bullshit! He knew exactly what he was doing & he knew it was wrong but he was making so much money he didn't care. He's a douchebag of the worst kind.

It may not say it correctly, but it will say it with complete confidence.

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on charges that it fraudulently paid informants in extremist groups The head of the civil rights organization said the group was "outraged by the false allegations" leveled against it.

Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.

The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.

Somehow they want uniformity when it comes to things like beards. But when it comes to something that could affect one's fellow soldiers, it's "freedumb" time.

My signature on my cartoons is all caps with flourishes on the J, B, R, N, and S.

When signing books, it looks more like my everyday signature. But if I'm signing my book about John Dee, I add a Hieroglyphic Monad.

The longstanding Republican pattern of not wanting to actually solve a problem, just blame someone for it and use it to leverage outrage.

That explains why we fight amongst ourselves.

Rand Paul is giving me the same feeling I got when Barry Goldwater started decrying the influence of the Religious Right on the Republican Party. I was a little kid when Goldwater ran for President, so my impressions of him as a nuclear threat went deep.

47 asked for their military help. It's so clear that what we need is their diplomatic help, because they are actually willing to employ experienced diplomats.

Sigh.

I am reminded of a saying I once heard from a tax lawyer friend, about the risk-return calculus, but applicable to so many other situations: "Do you want to eat well, or do you want to sleep well?"

Wonderfully said throughout.

("canon fodder" -- Please tell me that was intentional. I so very much want it to be.)

When guys like you are in charge, that's true. Get into our personal business especially on sexual matters, let us die of communicable disease, take our money and do nothing with it but line your pockets....

But letting "your daughters" (your possessions) be raped by ultra-rich white men...that is A-OK.

Gathering possibly useful information is of no consequence to these people. Being able to steal the people's money and property is.

Grrr

Kennedy is a eugenicist.
His words and choices to date provide ample evidence of his deep hatred for disabled ‘weaker’ people. All his ‘policy’ is driven by one goal: make the population ‘fitter’ by ‘weeding out the unfit.’
Speak of him as the open, rank eugenicist he is.

Vermont has a new Cartoonist Laureate. Congratulations, Stephen R. Bissette!

This is the sort of personalist kleptocracy I've spent most of my life seeing mostly in "third world" countries. Then Putin showed it could be done in a former superpower.

And who will be there to meet them? Or will it be like the blind man who was left to freeze near a fast food joint?

She might have actually listened to military advisers who warned that the Strait of Hormuz could be closed, upending the economy.

Then again, she wouldn't have shut down the renewable projects that were ready to come on line.

Respect their democratic will? The one that Orban will let them have?

Thanks.

I genuinely can't stop thinking about the Iranian kids who spent yesterday wondering if they were all going to die and what that day will do to them for the rest of their lives.

Crap.

Something IS wrong....

If the South Koreans can do it, so can we.

And the entire world has to suffer for it.

Hell, Congress should gather whether Johnson calls them back or not. Remember how the South Koreans had to BREAK INTO THEIR OWN PARLIAMENT BUILDING to undo the coup their President was starting.
