Sunday Unprovoked Funnies


The only place I see discussions about Biden's worthiness to serve happening out in the open is not among the #BlueMAGA I still pay attention to. There appears to be a solid wall of support/denial among Donks to me, delineated by a thin purple line. Even so, the depiction seems a little dramatic, yes? That's no exaggeration of stereotype of the #RedMaga crowd for sure.
Ted Rall was sharply on point this past week.

In a history-making act of performativeness, President Joe Biden appeared at a UAW picket line. But he didn’t picket or offer meaningful government support.
Democrats make a strong argument that Donald Trump has authoritarian tendencies and might even want to replace our democratic republic with a dictatorship. They say that he is corrupt and dangerous. They argue that nothing is more important than to defeat him and prevent him from ever becoming president again. If all that is true, why are they insisting on renominating Joe Biden? He has stubbornly low approval ratings to the point that even most Democrats don’t want him to run again. Could it be that they don’t really want to win?

Then again, the lazy corporate media loses its "Dems in disarray" trope without a corresponding GOP alliteration. (How about "Rudderless Republicans"?)

Helpfully the 'toonists celebrate the fall season and Kevin McCarthy's decapitation.
Nick Anderson and his former employer the Houston Chronicle continue their collaboration with Nick's multi-panel explainer regarding Lone Star Christofascists Tim Dunn, Farris Wilks, and the special legislative session beginning tomorrow on school vouchers.

And RIP Jay Leeson, the West Texas Prairie Populist.
