I need people to understand that saying, "I don't like or support this politician, but the other person will be worse, so I'll vote for them," is precisely how we ended up with fascism.
If you're not voting affirmatively for something you actually want, you don't live in a democracy.

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

I can't create new cartoons at the moment because I'm blissfully away in Spain, largely ignoring the news.

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

The US military is now criminal trump's private army.
If he can attack a country unprovoked, murder its people & steal what he wants, he can certainly use the military to attack US citizens.
Be very aware America, he has no intention of leaving his fake presidency.

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

And seemingly, nobody cares. The half wit electorate stares into their phones, the American press corps, who has the attention span of a lobotomized gnat, is being wagged like a Chihuahua with mange, and Congress genuflects before the rapist conman, who for some sick reason is in the Epstein files.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

Edmundo González Urrutia won the 2024 election in Venezuela. He was the choice of the people.
The Maduro-Delcy Rodríguez ticket stole power instead.
Now Trump says he is freeing the Venezuelan people by making Rodríguez his puppet.
So no, there is *nothing* to celebrate today.
