Sensible
Republicans? Since When?
WARNING: Cranky Cartoonist
Alert! Be prepared
for alarmist predictions
and please keep arms
and legs inside the
ride at all times.
--------------
What changed the
Repubican Party so
drastically since
1956? Simple. The
Civil Rights Act.
It's been all about
the racism ever since,
and it's worked beautifully
for the GOP.
This nation should
never stop slapping
itself.
------------
I have long heard,
and shared, the alarming
idea that the ultimate
goal of the ultra-rich
in this country,
those who
own the Republican
Party, want nothing
more than to turn
the 97% into serfs
living twelve to
a room, being paid
a dollar-a-day, and
making Nikes and
consumer goods for
the burgeoning middle-class
Chinese population.
This planned collapse
of the U.S. economy
by Trump and his pals is taking us a broad leap closer to that fever dream. Forget
Medicare For All, forget the Social Security we've come to know, forget the 40-hour
week and paid holidays. "Dystopian" doesn't begin to describe the future that's
looming over this country like a warehouse full of simmering ammonium nitrate.
Yes, Biden will probably win the 2020 election but that's not going to stop the
economic death spiral already in progress. Four years of no jobs will almost
certainly
result
in another swing to the Right as the GOP will scream "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!" into
the Fox News and Sinclair and OANN megaphones just
like they did in 2010 and then proceeded to sit on their hands for eight years.
On the other hand, Democrats may steamroll the election in all three houses and
proceed to pass the kind of legislation that will fix the massive loopholes in
our laws that charlatans like Trump and Barr use as their personal latrines.
So vote Blue. Get an absentee ballot and deliver it to your voting precinct
supervisor
by hand. No excuses!

I read the charges against the NRA and thought "We might as well dissolve
the Republican Party for the same reasons."
------------
Not only did much
of the $600 in unemployment
funds be given directly
to the banks in the
form of mortgages
but now there is record credit card debt as people
are trying to hang on. Guess who profits from all that
debt? You guessed it.
And who is going to own all the houses of people who cannot pay their mortgages
because of the chaos that resulted from the coronavirus? You guessed
it.
Screw the banks!
------------
Reagan wasn't impeached for Iran-Contra simply because the Democrats didn't want
to be seen as the "Impeaching Party", completely missing the point
that some Presidents deserve to be kicked out on their asses.
When Clinton won the Presidency the GOP couldn't WAIT to impeach him, ensuring
that the Democrats couldn't impeach Bush, for a multitude of reasons, like lying
about WMDs and starting vanity wars,
as
it'd
seem
like
a
revenge
impeachment.
Republicans are "Stephen King novel" evil.
-----------
If the Supreme court
hadn't screwed Al
Gore
in 2000 there would
have been no 9-11
because Gore would
have read the daily
security reports.
There would have
been no economic
recession of 2009.
There would have
been a balanced
budget for eight
straight years
and a marked
decrease
in the national
debt.
The banks, of course,
would be just FURIOUS
at all this peace
and prosperity. They
would have really
liked all the interest
they deserve as
a result of a bloated
national debt that
unending
wars and fat tax
breaks to the rich
would have given
them.
Am I suggesting
that the banks may
have a lot to do
with where this
country is today?
Noooooooooo. Not
me.
Fuck the banks.
