but a reality in the eyes of many Americans. Republicans don't care about life, but they do care about power and money and any deflection no matter how insane, they will do, and their cult will eat it up.

Cartoons used to be pointing out the ironic and humorous and weren't QUITE as dark as they have to be because the subject matter and insanity have become such a cancer that it spills over.

I am not saying it's a bad political cartoon. Far from it.

I am simply fatigued by the fact that even humor shows the insanity in our midst as so mainstream.

I used to be out of LA too.

Little dinky town called, El Monte. (The Hill. But I never saw a hill there. Foothills in Pasadena, yeah.)

But just like it was a great relief to have a basically "boring" President in Joe Biden because he wasn't going ballistic on a daily basis, but just knuckling down and doing the job he was elected to do.....


It would be nice when our comedy doesn't need to be so dark.


I thank God we have a REAL President instead of a squatter in the White House acting like a spoiled brat, although the ORANGE 1 was a MUCH better source of comedic material.
