Dark
Days
Today is Day Sixteen
of "Duck 'n Cover Month" here at Raging
Pencils, home of the vented spleen. Today's 'toon
hails from October 14,
2013. When I drew it I didn't think the GOP
would go so far as to ACTUALLY burn everything down
but, by all appearances, they're certainly going to
give it the old college try.
---------
I attended the local Dallas, Texas
Women's March along with a dear lady friend of mine.
The size of the crowd wildly
exceeded all expectations, swamping the final rally
point. It was a great experience and my joy multiplied
many times by news reports from other cities citing
even larger crowds.
That evening, though I don't usually watch local news,
I decided to check the coverage of the march.
I first tried the NBC (KXAS) broadcast and (1)
they didn't mention the march and (2) they led with
an interview with
a local
grandmother who loves Trump.
I began throwing things at the TV.
CBS was much more even-handed. Crisis averted. The
TV lived to aggravate me another day.
----------
If you're as tired as I am being told by Trump-bots
that they're busy "drinking liberal tears" remind them
that it's probably prostitute urine.
----------
Finally, if there is someone on your Facebook feed
(or other social media) who is still a staunch Trump
supporter, dump them. Immediately.
They will never listen to reason so why bother trying?
And when that tiny 33% of Facebookers is gone that
leaves the remaining 66% of us to have adult conversations,
especially as it regards what must be done to "make
America less great", so to speak. It will also cut
out a great deal of REAL "fake
news",
previously known as "propaganda".
So do it. Do it now. You'll feel MUCH better.
