5. As always these are great. I just hope that the repuglispawn enjoy them

for the rest of their lives. Obviously the 'cons have benefited from nice payments/blackmail-easements. The kids and grand-kids are going to have to live with this legacy along with the destruction of the planet. All in the name of greed and power.

[calimary]

10. The only problem with that is - it dooms MY kids, and YOUR kids

to live in those deteriorating planetary conditions too.

I wish it was one of those “you made your bed. Now you have to lie down on it” things. Unfortunately WE ALL have to lie down on that bed.

13. Agree. But they think they'll get off scot free and leave the planet to theirs.

It may be that their hidden wealth and stashes of supplies will keep them alive for a decade or two as the planet tries to clean up their rot.

These are people that don't understand the long and inexorable march of pollution, climate change, endemics. They don't want to be bothered with science.

May their gods help them.

18. Or, some of them seem to think, Jesus will come back.

That’s what that abomination of the Reagan administration (or - ONE of them), Interior Secretary James Watt though.

He actually stated that “when the last tre is fellow, Jesus will come back.”

Wide-eyes and serious.

Some of these evangelical hardliners actually believe that THEY can force the Hand of God, and impose some pathetic presumptuous sacrilegiously arrogant man-made timetable on God. Like we presume to tell The Almighty what to do and when to do it???

I would think it’s a sin even to flatter oneself into THINKING they could engineer conditions to force the Hand of God.

If you fuck up the planet so it’s almost uninhabitable, all you’re gonna get is a fucked-up planet you can’t live with - or on.

6. and Kick!

7. There's something very sinister about that H.W. quote

“We don’t want an America that closed to the world. What we want is a world that is open to America.”

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. Let's add that when Communisim fell in the Soviet Union

and the people there were facing starvation that first winter, he could have thrown full support of the world to ensure the people there were cared for and built an eternal friend. Instead he said we had to hold back aid to ensure that "communism is dead".
So bad news: totalitarianism rose again in a different guise.
"Good" news: the gravy train keeps rolling for the MIC.


Ecclesiastes 8 -10: I have thought deeply about all that goes on here under the sun, where people have the power to hurt each other. I have seen wicked people buried with honor. Yet they were the very ones who frequented the Temple and are now praised in the same city where they committed their crimes! This, too, is meaningless.

11. This one is so true but rarely, never, discussed on the MSM

Even so far as the refugees from Central America. Not just Republican admins, but mostly, and always with the endorsement of the corporate classes, the history of illegal intrusion, of helping dictators suppress their populations, even using torture. All this has stoked an underground gangster element and corrupt governments that work with them. A disdain for the rule of law, or justice for abusive officials.

Trump himself admitted that America has done 'bad things'. They create disasters and reep the benifets of disaster capitalist opportunities that naturally arise from it. for decades. And the refugees, the folks that are directly affected by the gang violence and economic collapses caused by our own RW administrations, or RW influences in our own party, at the very most silence, are what we reap from what we sowed.

It is the cost of business. Bad business. Same for the turmoil in the Middle East caused by western / US interference and attacks. This huge flood of middle eastern immigrants in Europe then stokes populist anti-democratic racist scaremongers. Who are the same ilk that likes to start wars. Rinse and repeat.

They cause the problems, then refuse to deal with those problems manifested. Or blame the side that did not support policies and military adventures that caused these issues to form in the first place.

12. What a great collection of Toons. Thanks!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

16. Suddenly, I feel sorry for Dana Carvey

But at least, GHWB had a sense of humor. I don't expect trmpie to ever cheer on Alec Baldwin.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]
