[Dustlawyer]

1. We let the evil corporate genie out of the bottle!

[myrna minx]

2. K$R nt

[mountain grammy]

3. Now this one says it all. This isn't a Republican victory

it's a corporate victory. Winner take all!

[heaven05]

4. and the ones that

didn't vote have spoken.

[Martin Eden]

5. The American People have regurgitated what's been fed to them.

And for the next two years their feeders can blame Obama for the consequences of corporate control of both houses of congress.

[meegbear]

6. D'oh!

I just posted this. K&R!

[Enthusiast]

7. Precisely.

K&R!

The voters don't have a clue that they voted for these things. But they did. It's called ignorance.

[Bobcat]

8. Idiocracy

has arrived in the U.S. The media has perfected its primary purpose - manufacturing consent.

[riversedge]

10. Ah, yes, Chompsky hit in the mark-way back. We

need to read--or re-read his work

[Amonester]

19. Reading? Who needs to read when we can take tons of selfies all day!!

[llmart]

32. And let's discuss the Taylor Swift topic ad nauseum.....

because this is what's considered "newsworthy" nowadays.

[DesertDiamond]

9. The American people have not spoken, but their inability to fight election fraud has.

[Jackpine Radical]

11. I just forwarded this to a bunch of people.

It really says it all.

The other day someone posted a cartoon showing a movie theater with a split marquee. There were 2 or 3 people standing & waiting to get in to "An Inconvenient Truth," and a line around the block waiting to get in to a show entitled "Comforting Lies" (description from memory & probably not exact). Anybody got the link?

18. That's it. Thanks.

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Sorry that the pic didn't show up, but I posted this from my phone

[Rhiannon12866]

12. K&R! Perfect!

[Cooley Hurd]

13. K&R!

[DeSwiss]

15. The pity is.......

...they're going to get anyway.

- Fast, down and dirty the Republican way. Or slow, deliberate with smoke and mirrors the Third-Way. They're still going to get it.





It's the system, stupid.

[A Simple Game]

25. Yup. n/t

[hifiguy]

29. indeed.

The repuke 1% and the batshit preachers have managed to buy/manufacture something that has never been seen heretofore in human history: a population that happily and enthusiastically votes, again and again, to liquidate itself. Not even Orwell could have predicted that.

[NuttyFluffers]

33. Orwell dreamed small. Huxley and Kornbluth dreamed exactly that.

craven opportunism + jingoistic zealotry is a very old combination. and no, religion is not the only location for this marriage in hell. it's well alive in secular circles and scribbled throughout history.

stare at the abyss longer, learn more. we're nowhere near in the worst of possible worlds... yet. there's always hope.

[navarth]

35. Ah, Kornbluth.....

...I assume you refer to The Marching Morons....?

Prophetic, it was.

[Roland99]

16. Fear is a very strong motivator to get people to vote against their own best interests.

and the GOP is king at instilling fear in the electorate.

[hifiguy]

31. I never thought fear was enough to override the instinct

for self-preservation. Clearly, it is.

[nikto]

34. Typical American voter, circa 2014...

[SpankMe]

17. This is so true that it shouldn't be a cartoon. n/t

[WillyT]

21. K & R !!!

[calimary]

22. Sigh... discouraged.

"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

[moondust]

23. Is our children learning?

[OrwellwasRight]

27. Let's make the pie higher!

24. God's big flashlight...

Well....

Billions of dollars worth of pounding on our President and
the Democrats in congress for years.
Corporate paid media.
That big 'herd of Americans' who don't really check things out and
understand how it affects them...
EVERY so many years try to give the Republicans
one more chance.

It's all theirs now. What are they going to do. They now
assume all of the blame.

President Obama already has one Hell of a legacy, if they'd print it.
And it will be, in history.


Grandpa said, " Oh look out, God's got his flashlight on them now".

[A Simple Game]

26. They won't assume any blame. Why would they?

Is President Obama going somewhere? That's who they blamed for the last six years, why would they stop now?

I only see the blame Obama meme getting stronger, they have to divert attention from their actions somehow. How about some talk, if not action, on impeachment? That should be good for a few "pay no attention to what I'm doing, look over there" moments.

[czarjak]

28. More wealth for the wealthy...

At last.

[SylviaD]

30. This cartoon is humorous, so why do I feel like crying looking at it? n/t

[Cha]

36. Oh I especially like the one that says.. "Don't tell us what's in our FOOD"!! "More celeb new"

right freaking on, riversedge!

[stage left]

37. K&R

I have decided that far too many of the American people are just too stupid for words.

[SoapBox]

38. Well that pretty much sums it up.

Oh what about, "Restore DOMA" and "Ban same sex marriage".

Just adding to their agenda, for them to spend their Political Capital on.

[Midnight Writer]

39. This cartoon is 20 years old

I clipped it out after the 1994 mid-terms and taped it onto my locker at work.

I retired 6 years ago, but went back to my office for a retirement party for an old friend.

I went into the locker room and found, much to my surprise, that the cartoon is still taped up on my old locker.

[Cha]

41. So it's timeless.

[Midnight Writer]

44. Even more true today as 20 years ago, even the same issues

And notice the "dollar sign" logos on the armbands of the winners.

[Cha]

45. Yes! "More celeb news" "We don't want to know what's in our food".. etc etc etc.. and yes I did

notice the arm bands. shh

I posted it on my FB.. it's so perfect.

[Cha]

40. KICK!

[tiptonic]

42. They won

Just hope the Kock bros and repugs show a little mercy on us peasants. Give us a few crumbs. Or is this the big population control, we've heard so much about

[riversedge]

43. I hate crumbs
