True. But those who insist on running off with some renegade

instead of marching shoulder-to-shoulder TOGETHER (because only the perfect will do) deserve a massive share of the blame. Those who make it possible, or even desirable, to splinter off from the main ARE a big part of the reason why we’re in this mess now.

Anybody ever heard that old cliche “divide and conquer”? Our enemies sure understand it. Both foreign AND domestic. The CONS understand this clearly. So do the Russians.

But, unfortunately, only for those with the eyes to see.

He’s a sneaky little shit. Likes to pull these tricks in secret. Behind closed doors. That was his devious behavior in Indiana, too, with that “my-religion-trumps-your-rights” bill that he signed behind closed doors wit only religious folks clustered around him in a nice sneaky little group shot.

If these folks REALLY were “pro-life”, they wouldn’t be so hellbent on destroying life after it’s born. Whether it’s a new baby or a species or maybe even an entire ecosystem.

But, hey, shoot the moon, why not? Besides, it’s little more than the next marketplace just ripe for exploitation.

Mother of God, that's a devastating collection!

OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH!

You want truth? Ask a cartoonist. They do it visually like no one else can.

On edit - I LOVE how Sarah Huckabee Sanders was depicted! Just desserts. (So to speak...)

This was confirmed during the campaign

for anybody who had eyeballs-connected-to-brain. Convention speech where, within minutes, her fashion website was hawking her outfit and how YOU TOO could “shop Ivanka’s look” for a mere small fortune, not a king’s ransom but more like a “princess-grade” ransom, I suppose. To be fair, dontchaknow.

Then there was the post-election “60 Minutes” interview of the family, wherein Ivanka could be seen sitting right there in front with her dad and Melania. Clearly aware that the camera was on her, she casually lifted one hand across her chest to her opposite shoulder and posed in that position for several long moments. Thus the viewer could not miss a glimpse of the gold bracelet on her wrist. And sure enough, there soon came a closeup shot, on her website, of that bracelet on her arm, with a caption reminding that you saw her wear it on “60 Minutes” and that very same bracelet could be YOURS (!) for a mere ten grand.

She IS a grifter of the first order. Another opportunistic infection on two legs (but this one smooth and slick and silky-looking). Your fucking crooked larcenous mercenary family is supposedly in the Public SERVICE arena now, your highness. It’s NOT supposed to be about how much you can profit from it.

Ouch!

OUCH!

But seriously, why not? He's already got his nice new pair of presidential kneepads - with the "MAGA" logo embroidery!

Here, too, we'll have to agree to disagree.

NO candidate is perfect. EVERYBODY has some problems. But April Ryan this morning made the point - the game is DIFFERENT now. And if trump has changed the game and the rules (as he HAS, like it or not), then I think we should play THAT game and shellack his ass with it.

So you'll want to go rogue and make sure that we DON'T stand together and therefore

we LOSE. AGAIN.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, my friend.

Neither can I, Jackie.

I've seen my LAST Susan Sarandon movie. Said that awhile back. Still feel that way. I don't buy books by crooks, either (learned that, among other things, from Watergate). I don't reward OR reinforce bad behavior (learned that as a mother).

Whatever you're selling, Sarandon, I'm NOT buying. I'm not even gonna be walking down the same street where your store is located.

GOOD. She deserves this like nobody's business.

You broke it, you bought it, Susan.
