"To the Spoiled Goes the Victory" Funnies



"Own the libs" football-spiking. Which, to be frank ... they're entitled to. Slam dunking in your rival's face is the Great American way. Wipe 'em out. Let's not pretend we wouldn't be seeing the same thing from Democrats if they had won.
But the Asses got kicked, and at their cringiest moment, they took Michelle Obama's high. Simultaneously peddling pre-election joy and existential authoritarian threats, Team Donkey internally didn't see a close race (the exact opposite of what the campaign said to the NYT on 10/28).

Burdened by what had been. Being wrong repeatedly was the only thing they got right.
The truth, like the dirt, always comes out in the wash.


And their response to this historic shellacking? Double down on the neoliberalism.


Might be an even better idea than renominating Kamala in four years; she's alerted her handlers and donors from an undisclosed Hawaiian vacation location that she's 'keeping her options open'. We already know the American electorate's collective memory is shorter than my puppy's (after all, they re-elected Trump in a landslide). The long con for '28 is likely to be AOC. We'll see. Pay attention to those -- other than my tribe, that is -- who launch diatribes against her. What a country.
Now get back in your silos.
Xitter is not a silo. That's why I'm staying there (for the time being).

News items: COP29 climate conference fails to adequately address global plastic waste concerns; world braces for Trump admin's assault on environment

There might be a cognitive disconnect in the toon above regarding plastics.

Latest developments suggest that we already have the equivalent of a credit card's worth of microplastics in our bodies, and that we are also consuming that much on a weekly basis. Perhaps this explains a few things (the nearly 80-year-old president-elect's decision-making, his poor diet, anger management issues, his iconically gay 1980s musical choices, things like that).

Public schools in Texas will soon be Sunday schools Monday through Friday. Voucher supporters will forge ahead regardless (that's always been a money grab). No word yet on whether the home schoolers approve of the curriculum changes.

Teachers open-carrying Bibles and guns, monitoring the bathrooms for trans kids. Back in my day the worst that could happen was to get caught smoking (a Marlboro) in the boy's room.

Turkey Toons


Lots and lots of them this year.

Not just the pollsters.
