So Donald Trump spent the weekend kissing Vladimir Putin’s butt, praising the Saudi princeling who had a US journalist murdered, and standing silent while North Korean goons rough up not only US press but also his own press secretary. And this is Gorrell’s response.
Special July 4 cartoon coming showing how that fine man George III was wronged by those collectivist traitors in the the Continental Congress.
And when you have nothing, pull out the “Free Stuff” canard, along with the Socialism epithet (based on misinformation), open borders accusation that has no basis in reality, and run with them. Gorrell knows nothing about any of these, but they appear in the playbook, so why not?
As opposed to “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the one percent who control all of Amerca’s worth. And to the Republic of Cartoonists who never read the preamble to the Constitution.”
I’m sure the Republicans have a much better more cost-effective means of creating a healthy, worry-free, productive workforce that will make the US the envy of the modern world and put the European nations far behind us. It’s unfortunate that the blue-collar workers are joining the Republican party because the Democrats are too busy to adequately explain how their proposals will work to anyone but other Democrats as they think that don’t have to … because it’s intuitively obvious?
After a week of vacation, you’d think Gorrell would be rested and ready to draw, but nope, he just reuses the donkey with his hand over his heart holding a piece of paper from

You can keep trying to scare people with “socialism,” but nothing it scarier then a president who allows for concentration camps for children on american soil.
Cute view, Bob, but Dems don’t think the borders should just be open. We’ve supported strong borders for eons along with your Repub friends. We’re just not advocating closing the borders regardless of the harm that will do to our economy. Trump, the great deal maker, doesn’t seem to have a clue about such things.
Ah, the good ole Pledge of Allegiance. What a CROCK! It means NOTHING.
There is a reason Congress, the President, the Courts and the MILITARY swear an Oath to the Constitution and not merely “Pledge Allegiance to the Flag”.
The Constitution is an actual legal document. It has fiber. It is concrete. It has authority.
The Flag is merely a symbol (one I proudly respect, don’t get me wrong) but we need MORE than symbols.
School kids say the pledge. Boy Scouts say the pledge. Ku Klux Klansmen say the pledge. Our local government says the pledge. And it means something different to each one of them.
You know who NEVER says the pledge? The US military. There is NO regulation on how to recite the pledge while in uniform. Do you salute? Do you place your hand over your heart? Do you remove your cover? Do you stand politely while the civilians do what civilians do? Because Soldier, YOU MADE AN OATH, which trumps (so to speak) that pledge each and every day.
We need a president (and Congressmen and Court Justices) who will quit saying the pledge and honor his OATH!
Your target audience may be too dim to realize you’ve been feeding them the same artwork over and over, but everyone else knows that “free stuff” is just what we could have as a society if the rich paid their fair share.
I for one don’t like cancer. Do you like cancer Mr. Gorrell? Why is it just fine to spend unlimited amounts of money to fight against terrorism, but a system of healthcare where people didn’t have to fight insurance companies just as hard as they’re fighting cancer, no that’s just too unrealistic.

Gorrell prefers his country run by a crime boss who has no problem locking and abusing children.

The U.S. does have a sort of open borders with Canada. So, why not Mexico? I wonder if skin color has something to do with it?

Whatever Gorrell is trying to imply, it is the American flag in the background being pledged too.

Speaking of fake news, Mr. Gorrell, this is a tired meme, intended to wrongly inform the gullible.
The following article summarizes the legislative priorities of the Democrats in the House of Representatives this year:

Hey Bob:
We don’t want free stuff. We pay taxes. We think the taxes we pay – public money – should actually be used to benefit the public.
If you want free stuff, look at your “capitalists.” Jeff Bezos demands BILLIONS in public money, and pays NO taxes.
