Awesome Sunday Morning Laugh

[malthaussen]

1. Wait a minute, Mr Cruz is Lucifer...

Mr Boehner told us so.

-- Mal

[packman]

2. Cruz is the Old Testament Satan

Trump is the New Testament Satan - improved and slicker.

[world wide wally]

3. EXACTLY true!

[tom_kelly]

4. Awwwe... Look at little Marco n/t

[meow2u3]

5. K&R for the God-awful truth

[99th_Monkey]

6. Well, it's "just" politics. No biggie.

[felix_numinous]

7. There are many others

who have taken this oath.

[forest444]

8. Except, I suspect, in reverse.

And what's scary about these people isn't that they're Satanists (I understand there are many good Satanists); but that they see Satan as an evil being that must be satiated in order to extract a reward.

At others' expense, of course.

9. The Faustian Bargain

Faustian bargain (fow-stee-uhn) Faust, in the legend, traded his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge. To “strike a Faustian bargain” is to be willing to sacrifice anything to satisfy a limitless desire for knowledge or power.

[sorechasm]

10. In this case they seek 'limiting' knowledge (FCC, NCLB), and 'limiting' power (voter suppression).

Only idiots with no sense of history could think that they can continue to suppress citizens to gain their 'unlimited' power. Oh, and God forbid they ever gain limitless knowledge. That's the last thing they want. Because knowledge of all the people they have hurt with their selfish and greedy practices would drive them all insane. (They can only suppress that knowledge so long, either.)

11. This special knowledge

is about gaining skills in how to dominate people and trick them into following them, IMHO.

They count on us being naive and not suspecting anyone of such deviousness, this is why it works.

[sorechasm]

12. True. There is mass manipulation at stake. Luckily, it only appears effective on TV generations.

Millennials seem somewhat immune to this affect.

[felix_numinous]

13. Yep

80 million millennials aren't going with the program, a very good thing.

[kentuck]

14. #100 Rec

This cartoon says a lot.

[-none]

15. It is missing a few people.

"...on the Democratic side.

[JackInGreen]

16. We could have the same strip

on the left, 'cept it's deb handling the contracts.

[DesertRat]

17. This cartoon is spot on!

Do you know who the cartoonist is?
