Today is Day Twenty
of "Is It Still President?" month
here at Raging Pencils. Today's 'toon
hails from February 28,
2014. The part about "compromise the election" really
hits home, eh?
---------
Republicans want to replace the ACA with HSAs, which
is essentially a personal savings account. If you don't
manage to save enough for your chemo, tough beans.
The obvious question is then why do we need insurance
for our houses, our cars, our businesses? Why do we
need insurance for anything if HSAs will do the job?
This is a clear evidence that the GOP is only interested
in letting poor people die. And by "poor people" I
mean the middle-class, too, what there is left of it.
To these entitled bastards anyone outside of the 1%
is dispensible.
Remember that.
---------
Make no mistake. The Great Orange Negotiator went head-to-head
with Mexico... and lost. His first great test of negotiation,
a prowess he campaigned on, failed miserably. Even
worse, he failed so bad that, if he'd had his way,
the one's who would have been penalized by his solution
would have been the American people, not the Mexicans.
I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
----------
President
Size
Queen and his Republican chums all
think the National Endowment for the Arts is too expensive
at
$150 million
per year
and, thus, want to kill it entirely.
Protecting Melania Trump in her New York home will
cost taxpayers $1.2 million dollars a day or $438 million
per year.
Now, which would you rather spend that money on?
---------
In addition, the cretins in power
want to privatize the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting. (Imagine Big Bird pausing
during a lesson about the color puce to sell you
viagra or beer.)
The cost
for both it AND the NEA would only be $600 million
a year
or
about
$2 apiece
from
every
American
man, woman, and child.
This is kind of a no-brainer, which explains why Republicans
hate informational programming. No brains.
Hah! I kill me!
---------
Furthermore, why would we spend $25 billion on a useless
wall when we cant spend $55 million to fix Flint, Michigan's
water problem.
Yes, useless. If a Mexican citizen wants to enter our
country all they have to do is buy a plane ticket.
They can then stay until the Schutzstaffel, uh, I mean, the
ICE ferrets them out.
---------
Trump: I'm going to build the best wall.
Me: How much will it cost?
Trump: They tell me about $25 billion.
Me: We already spend $12 billion a year on border security.
Trump: See? So the wall is a bargain.
Me: Does this mean that after the wall is built we
can reduce the cost of border security?
Trump: No, it'll still cost the same.
Me: So why are we building the wall?
Trump: So I could get morons to vote for me.
Me: In other words, you're spending $25 billion in
taxpayer money in order to get elected?
Trump: I love this country.
---------
In case you missed it:
Can you imagine how happy Groper McFuckface would be
if signs such as this dotted the land? (Reportedly,
this "illegitimate" stuff REALLY bugs him.... probably
because he knows it's true.) It would break his tiny
little
mind even more than it
already
is.
(And the sign works equally well when Pence deposes
Trump.)
If you'd like one of these, and you know you do, I
created a 24" X 18" double-sided version
that you can purchase
at Zazzle.com. Unfortunately
it will set you back about $32, plus shipping. This
price includes the wire holder.
As you might guess I'm not at ALL happy about the
outrageously inflated price these print-on-demand places
charge but that's their business model, not mine.
However, there's a cheaper alternative but I'll need
your help. You see, there are any number of businesses
that
will print
these
signs in bulk
for
under $7,
including the wire holder. Therefore, with shipping,
the cost to the frugal progressive should be about
$15
each.
That's better but, as I said, I'd have to buy
a lot of them at once to get the price down. If I know
there's a ready market for the signs I could front
the printing cost myself.
So if
this idea
interests you just use the Contact button at the top
(not the Comments section) to voice your opinion.
And I'm not too proud to add that friends of the
comic, those with somewhat deeper pockets, might consider
volunteering to subsidize sales
of the
sign by
making
donations
through Paypal, but don't do that yet. Let's first
gauge the level of enthusiasm
And if anyone has better ideas for for undermining
the authority of our new overlords, let me know.
PS: There is a THIRD option. If you'd like to print
your own sign you can download
the vector PDF.
