Fall Back to the 1930s Funnies


I saved a few Halloween toons for today.
Look at your opposition party, America.

T-Pain is exactly what you see. But Kam and KJP just put their heads on the tee for him.
The Christian War on Halloween segues into the War on Xmas. Next thing you know King Donald will be threatening to invade Nigeria.

This war is at least not as deadly as an Israeli ceasefire (sic).


Alas, A Blog!:
If you publicly criticize Israel, you’ll sooner or later be confronted with the “why are you singling out Israel” critique. “There are so many nations in the world – so picking on the world’s one and only Jewish state must be motivated by antisemitism, right?”

Sometimes the 'motivated by antisemitism' part is implied rather than said, as in this essay by Professor Jeroen Bruggeman. At less rarified levels, it’s often stated more baldly, as in this question on Quora.

[...]

Few if any of Israel’s apologists who raise the “why single out Israel?” argument could honestly say they personally give equal attention to all the worlds’ crises; they typically pay far more attention to Israel than any other country.

Which is fine! People are allowed to care more about one issue than another. Even critics of Israel.

Demolition Man Toons


While we wait for Rubio's War to kick off ...
... the Epstein Ball Room has captivated the shrinking attention span of our demented, early-Alzie-onset Commandant in Chief.

There are quite a few more wars El Trumpo is planning to begin than he claims to have ended. Still he seems ... curmudgeonly about that Nobel Prize denied.
"My Country Shit on Thee"
A few state and local items:


You can find The Rag in the blog roll to the right.

RIP June Lockhart.

A Peace of the Action Funnies


(Some of these toons are NSFW, mostly for language.)


Not that kind of peace.



We lost some valuable people this past week.


In 1975 I saw KISS in McDonald Gymnasium on the campus of Lamar University in Beaumont. I was already a pretty big fan. Peter Criss put on a CAT Diesel Power hat about halfway through the show and everybody roared (with laughter).


I've been deaf for almost twelve years and I can still hear her voice.

Wars and Peace Toons


"China defeats USA in Soybean Wars, opens new geologic front"


The Nobel Peace Prize Loser also isn't winning the War on Portland.

As for the personal battles you may be fighting: please don't spend your Halloween calling trick-or-treaters socialists dependent upon handouts, either.
Jesse Duquette is this week's 'Do Something, Democrats' cartoonist.
Sure, things are happening at a breakneck pace and Project 2025 is being enacted much more quickly than even its architects could have dreamed possible. But most people are still going about their lives unaware of the horrors being exacted upon their neighbors. This complacency and unwillingness to act, if anything, will be the death knell for our last attempts at a democracy. But least the mimosas were good.
Then again, if Trump's bad guys are indistinguishable from Trump's other bad guys, then I can understand why Democrats might be confused.
It's too early for A Christmas Carol, but we're gifted a brief interlude with the Ghost of Child Molesters Past and his most moral supporter and public defender.
But heating up quickly.


Still want a Laura Loomer mask (scroll down).

Toonist Clay Jones suffered a stroke just a few days ago. Kindly support his efforts as he rehabilitates. And the dearly loved Diane Keaton departs with some words from her 60th birthday that greatly inspire.

Bad Bunny Funnies

“I’m really excited to be doing the Super Bowl, I know that people all around the world who love my music are also happy,” to which he then began speaking in Spanish.

“Especially all of the Latinos and Latinas in the world here in the United States who have worked to open doors,” he said in Spanish. “It’s more than a win for myself, it’s a win for all of us. Our footprints and our contribution in this country, no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it.”

He finished his monologue off by noting in English, “And if you didn’t understand know what I just said, you have four months to learn!”

Yes, the Department of Defense was not renamed for the forthcomimg armed conflicts with Russia, China, Iran, or even Venezuela. They're coming after us.

It's not rooted in Lawn Odor.
Speaking of ...
The UniParty is having a worse week than usual.
Just look at your opposition party, dawgs.
Matson is not a Republican, unlike Ramirez.
Reason 4,897 why voting -- and certainy voting elephant or donkey -- isn't going to solve the most pressing problems we have (which do not include the shutdown kabuki).


But let's keep quarreling over comedians.

Minority Report Toons


Department of Precrime.


Bullies? Gangsters? Fools?


Heroes?
I’m gonna take two weeks
I’m gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problems
To the United Nations

Eddie Cochran, 'Summertime Blues' (covered by Rush)


Can we turn the heat down a little? No?


Luckovich ought to be embarrassed by this. "Unafraid Dems", LOL.
Late night talk show hosts aren't going to save the nation from plutocracy.
Neither, certainly, are the likes of Ezra Klein.
Catching up on Deep-In-The-Hearta:

Rest in everlasting power, Queen.

"No Donny, These Men are Nihilists" Funnies


"They don't believe in anything."

*Uninformed Adult Content Warning: some younger readers -- and certain mega-MAGA types -- might be alarmed by toons and memes in this week's collation. Proceed at risk of your sensitivities and insensibilities being challenged.
Truth is fluid. Facts are flexible. Faith is malleable. Forgiveness by the higher power of your choosing is both situational and contingent upon your political indoctrination. If T-King actually believes he can get into heaven, or win the Nobel Peace Prize ... his wildly successful long con has overtaken even him. That's the definition of megalomania.


This is what they have decided will be normal.


After reading some excerpts of Kamala's book, I would say that she isn't planning on running for political office again. Unless her plans would be to do to the Democratic Party what Netanyahu is doing to Gaza. We know she was never opposed to that.
Perhaps fascism or genocide simply don't concern you. Maybe you're that person who thinks that electing Democrats will fix all this. That oligarchy with some abortion and a few gay rights (but not those nasty trannies) is the path back to normalcy.

Disavow yourself of that.


Maybe consider opposing a societal scourge more existential than authoritarianism.
