"Who's your Daddy, who's your Mamdani" Funnies

News items, for those having trouble keeping up (or have tuned out):

There's some (gallows) humor to be found here!
"Gallows" in this case refers not only to the Constitution, the federal courts, the rule of law, etc. but also to the Democratic Party. Brad's on vacation again -- he did manage some toons today, usual 'Orange Man bad' stuff -- but I'm here to remind you that just a few weeks ago he declared how important it was that Trump be impeached again. Read the comments there.


Michelle is doing her best, but this is a lost cause, in Texas and beyond. To be clear, the aggressive pushback against Zohran Mamdani suggests that perhaps the myriad problems of rich wyt pipo need extra emphasis from Democrats. And a skosh more Zionism.


Yes, I hear the plaintive wails already; all this isn't entirely the fault of the incompetent Washington Democrats.



Obits.


Wrapping today with some laughs, hopefully.

"Two Weaks Notice" Toons


Not feeling the chuckles today. Had to rebuild this post early this morning after several cartoons suddenly became irrelevant.
Carlos Latuff does not miss.

As with last week, I may post some of the Funnies about ICE and Juneteenth and Pride and other topics that I deleted from this one. If I feel like it.

Signs and Scenes from 'No Kings'


Back in the Aughts, when I was a Democrat, I participated happily in marches and protests like yesterday's. I went to Crawford and Camp Casey. In 2011 I marched in downtown Houston during the Occupy uprising. (I spoke with corporate media at both events but my remarks were left out of their reports.) I felt empowered and enthused by doing so. There was no social media at that time so we bloggers made the news happen, swelling our heads with our perceived influence.

We sincerely felt like we had the power to change the world. History reminds us we had little sway. Yesterday's events were cathartic for participants and most observers, but after twenty years of evidence, these actions not only don't move the needle but actually create an atmosphere for worsening the problems for which we demand redress.

George W. Bush bombed Iraq and got re-elected. Annise Parker had the cops sweep Occupy out of the Houston park because the Bayou City Art Festival was looming on the calendar. Texas Progressive Chode Kuffner is still posting how much he likes her. This is your latest clue that voting for Ds or Rs isn't solving anything. So if you got out in the heat and exercised your 1A rights yesterday, enjoy the feels, but if you saw Ukraine flags or signs like this one ...


... be clear about what happens next.


Point made, enjoy the views.


Update: Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters thinks Trump's birthday parade "could have used some drag queens".
