One cartoon captured 67% of the country. Every. F'ing. Day.

1. Great cartoon

[peacebuzzard]

2. Ditto, and add people in other counties,

We live a nightmare of international proportions every day!

[Myrddin]

15. Absolutely n/t

[VaBchTgerLily]

3. SO TRUE! I wake up and do the same thing too

[workinclasszero]

4. Imagine living in Seoul right now

[IronLionZion]

5. I have family in Seoul

and they are not bothered. There's no point in panicking just because they are stuck between two nuclear armed idiots.

So life goes on as normal. South Korea has gotten used to this.

6. True. How on earth did this awful thing happen to the country? (rhetorical question) nt

[secondwind]

7. Same here. :-(

[katmondoo]

8. I turn on Morning Joe and I never watched him before

I stay long enough to see if Nuclear war has begun

[Scarsdale]

9. I wonder how many

gop poliricians do the exact same thing? They COULD end this nightmare, if only they had spines.

10. Actually, the cartoon captures the more fundamental problem.

Turning on the TV first thing in the morning. Even worse to have one in the bedroom.

Too many people, and that includes a lot of the posters here, seem to be watching Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and every other news outlet 24/7. My advice? Turn it off. Go for a walk. Read a book. Watch some silly sit-com. Don't obsess constantly over things you cannot possibly change.

16. I got rid of TV, cable streaming, etc years ago, and watch rarely while in public.

I pick and choose online for my sources.
It actually lowered my blood pressure, and I increased physical activity with other projects!

But this cartoon is a very real projection. I am currently in Brazil, I travel often.

Even though current Brazilian socio-economic-political states are bad, in general the Brazilians wake up like this every day in relation to their current conditions and on the orange baboon for the international political and environmental disasters.

This is a global nightmare.

11. Yep. And also if I have been offline for several hours during the day.

12. That's exactly what Trump wants

He's a Master at jerking everyone's chain. He sucks all the oxygen out of every room. He screeches like a howling banshee and is impossible to ignore because he has real power, like the kid that thinks people into the corn field.

I hope the analogy of living by the sword and dying by the sword translates into living by the tweet, dying by the tweet.

I hope he literally hoist's himself by his own petard.

I'm using platitudes because that's what he is. He deserves one of him so future generations can be taught the folly of our particular time in history

[niyad]

13. I know that is what I do.

[progressoid]

14. And 80% of the planet.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

17. By turning on your TV very first thing

you are surrendering control to others.

Plus, the constant bombardment of advertizing takes another toll.
