This cartoon is reminiscent of this jarring scene from the movie Beneath the Planet of the Apes where the 'Doomsday Bomb' was worshipped.
Scene of several people in rows and a priest looking towards a missile at the front of the scene that resembles a church service

Reading this book in grade school made me anti-war - a position I still hold today.

The guy endlessly slamming "fake news" believes satire is real news.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur 3h : With a "WOW!," President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and "royalties linked to Obamacare" that originated on a satirical website. That site's own About section reads: "Everything on this website is fiction... If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined." #BREAKING: DOGE halts yearly payment of $2.5 million to Barack Obama for "royalties linked to Obamacare." Obama has collected this payment since 2010, for a total of $40 million in taxpayer dollars. DBAMACARI DOOL Stopped ananmuar payment to Barack Obama for $2.6 million for "royalties associated with Obamacare" About Sature Before you complain and decide satire is synonymous with "comedy": sat-ire sa ti(a)r noun: The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, OR ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other

Priorities.

It's nice when someone shows up at your door and asks you if you want some free yarn. That should happen more often.
