Transcript This cartoon has four panels, plus a small “kicker” panel beneath the bottom of the cartoon. PANEL 1 An older man wearing glasses, sitting behind a desk, is talking to an intense man with a large black beard and wearing a suit jacket but no tie. We’ll call him “Blackbeard.” GLASSES: We’re dropping your column. Many readers think you’re just too extreme. BLACKBEARD: I have been silenced! PANEL 2 Blackbeard is standing on stage behind a lectern, holding a hand high in the air as he declames. There’s a huge audience listening to him. BLACKBEARD: I have been silenced! PANEL 3 A newspaper lies on a table, near a coffee mug and a spoon. The newspaper is The Washington Post. A front page story shows a photo of Blackbeard talking, and a headline that says “I Have Been Silenced!” PANEL 4 We are looking at a flatscreen TV. The TV shows Blackbeard appearing on Fox News. Blackbeard is yelling. An off-camera interviewer speaks. INTERVIEWER: …here with his new book, “I have been silenced.” BLACKBEARD: I have been silenced! KICKER PANEL BELOW BOTTOM OF STRIP Barry the cartoonist is talking to Blackbeard. BARRY: It seems– BLACKBEARD: STOP SILENCING ME!

There you go. I knew I could count on the crazies to blame this on Obama and Biden.
Chain of tweets from various right-wing nuts. Video tweet: CIA John Brennan on the beauty of Islam. Is it all starting to make sense? Response: Obama appointed a communist Muslim as the director of our CIA and the media said nothing. Response: When I see CIA link I immediately wonder about a cover to get into this nation for terrorism. Believe me folks the CIA UNDER BRENNEN was used by communists to train and to insert subversives into America’s law enforcement and judiciary under Obama and Biden.

Yup, pretty much. To right-wingers, it's all one big Deep State.
Tweet exchange: Lara Logan: URGENT Is the CIA behind the murder of two US soldiers near the White House? Did they direct/orchestrate this act of war? Take a close look at the gunman’s ID card below - acc to this he was a member of the Qandahar Strike Force, a CIA-backed paramilitary unit. He’s one of theirs Alex Jones: Two weeks ago General Flynn predicted on my show that elements of the CIA would activate Islamic sleepers cells in the United States in the coming months.

Here's a billboard posted by a Tea Party group in Iowa in 2010. It compares then-president Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin.

Be careful, Elon. Literally every prominent Democrat has been compared to Hitler or called a Nazi. Many of the people caught up in your dragnet will be your allies. 1/6
Twitter exchange. @Not_the_Bee posts: The left labeled Charlie Kirk fascist, and he got shot. The left labeled the National Guard deployments fascist. It wasn’t hard to guess what would come next. Elon Musk replies: Falsely labeling non-violent people as “fascist” or “Nazi” should be treated as incitement to murder

RFK Jr. lies the way normal people breathe. He lies the way alcoholics drink. In every conversation he has, his consistent thought is: "You know what would go really well here? A lie."

www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
Excerpt from a new RFK Jr. profile in The Atlantic. Kennedy came to believe that his previous impressions of Trump—that he was a “bombastic narcissist” who lacked curiosity and didn’t read books—had been wrong. [Highlighted:] “One day he sat on the plane with me. We were talking about Syria, and he drew a map of the Mideast for me. And it was a perfect map,” Kennedy told me. “Then he drew in the troop strength of each country, and also the troop strength on various borders.” [End of highlight.] Trump would recite sports trivia to Kennedy, and recount the net worth of major Wall Street financiers.

Threads post from candidly_tiff: Mamdani clearly tickled Trumps dick with his looks and charm but Gov. Wes Moore did the same. Trump called him handsome and told him he was doing a good job. A few months later he wanted to send the National Guard to Baltimore and lied on him. Trump’s unstable and erratic. Have y’all not learned anything after 10 years of this fuckshit.

Threads post from W. Kamala Bell: Some of you never paid enough attention to professional wrestling and it shows. A surprising “face turn” always, always, ALWAYS ends back in a return to “heel”. This of course a post about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

This.
Threads post from @brianhalloranmusic: NYC has had three Jewish mayors, but I don’t recall them forcing all New Yorkers to keep kosher and to get Bar/Bat Mitzvah’d. Six Catholic mayors, but not one of them demanded all New Yorkers take communion and go to confession and say a rosary every morning. But somehow Mamdani is going to force 8 million people to convert to Islam.

We'll see if my comment gets approved.
NY Times comment from Jacob Bernstein: "Last month, I hopped on a plane from JFK to see Olivia Nuzzi in Malibu. We went hiking and ate at diners together. I spent hours sitting shotgun in her Mustang, listening to great music and having fascinating and meaningful conversations with her. She is a writer's dream and a writer's nightmare. Both because she is a very good writer herself and because she is a startling, complex person." My response, awaiting approval: "She played you like a Stradivarius."

Plausible.
A series of posts at Threads from abolish.yourself (Dylan Petrohilos): One time I was talking to a friend of mine who was a senate staffer. She told me the general feeling on Capitol Hill was when Pelosi and Schumer were negotiating people generally felt “oh good we will get something” Bc Pelosi had discipline and spine in a way Schumer didn’t It’s telling in 2020 during the Covid pandemic the lead negotiator was Pelosi and she did rise to that moment in a lot of ways. The Republicans folded. She stepped aside to let new leadership evolve and Schumer basically got his way and this is what we got It just always struck me that the feeling on this hill was you couldn’t leave Schumer alone cause he’d fold… It says a lot that he basically was a npc during the pandemic era of Trump 1 and now is basically a npc now

Posted at Reddit under the headline "Today I drew what I assume Andrew Cuomo will look like watching the election results tonight." Looks about right.

One thing Dems and Dem-aligned pundits can do is stop endlessly whining about how horrible the party's problems are. Republicans today are dealing with a massive bloc of Nazis in their party, and some are horrified, but there isn't a single GOP pol or pundit saying, "Our party is in deep trouble."
Tweet from Matthew Yglesias: Can Democrats *be* the party that’s obsessed with tax fairness, affordable health care for Americans, and making sure poor kids have food rather than the party that’s banning plastic bags and worried that it’s racist to teach eighth grade algebra?

Gosh, I wonder why voters have such a negative impression of the Democratic Party.

(The first headline is new. The others are from the spring.)
Current headline: Working-class voters think Dems are 'woke' and 'weak,' new research finds Headline from May: Rahm Emanuel says Democratic Party’s brand is ‘weak and woke’ as he weighs 2028 run Headline from April: Battleground Sen. Elissa Slotkin has a “war plan” for Democrats to beat Trump: Don’t be “weak and woke.”

You know that if Trump ever finishes the ballroom, many parties there will look exactly like this - not Gatsby so much as Vegas in 1959. To Trump, this is "classy." I think that's what he's trying to tell us by throwing the Mar-a-Lago party just after the demolition of the East Wing.

Democrats are critiqued for using "faculty-lounge language," but this malarkey is okay, apparently.

(From a New York Times story about a Trumpist camp being built for homeless people in Utah.)

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...
Photo caption: Randy Shumway, chairman of the group of political appointees and business figures that is advising on the Utah campus plan, has said that nearly two-thirds of the 1,300 homeless people potentially sent to the site could be there for involuntary treatment. Text from story - highlighted phrase is “we nerd out on things like Six Sigma and lean process re-engineering”: As the planning for the facility got underway last year, the Republican-dominated legislature replaced the state’s homelessness planning board, which included many nonprofit providers, with a smaller body dominated by political appointees and business figures. It is led by Mr. Shumway, a Salt Lake City management consultant appointed to the role by Mr. Cox. In an interview at his Salt Lake City office, Mr. Shumway, 53, toggled between the language of the boardroom and the pulpit. He said a “management consulting approach” would make homeless services more efficient (“we nerd out on things like Six Sigma and lean process re-engineering”), measuring individual progress through a system of behavioral targets he calls “the pathway to human thriving.”

Also, the Republican Party enacts its most unpopular policies and somehow retains a more favorable rating than the Democratic Party. Count the number of these policies that are now in full effect.
