Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 05, 2016
Transcript:
Roland: March 25-- Progress up the brain stem is maddeningly slow. Sludge slides block our way at every turn. Finally, we gain a mesa overlooking a sweltering mass of neurons. Sherpa! Sherpa: Sire? Roland: What place is this? Sherpa: It is known as the cerebrum, Sahib. It is where the president does all his critical thinking. Roland: Sounds peaceful enough. Sherpa: Should we set up the base camp, Sahib?

Iām beginning to get a whiff of racism in this strip.

Good morning guys! . Itās as though GoComics has taken us back to the early days of the internet when our capabilities were limited! Soldier on, GoComics, take us back to the Arapanet days! We enjoy living in the past!

I took 20 years off from reading this strip, mostly because of Trudeauās violent inability to deal with anything other than extreme left-wingism. Iāve been reading the re-runs for a bit, but now I remember why I stopped. Condescending, patronizing, lib speak at its most extreme.

I did not know the bird brain to be that vast!

I think itās in bad taste to reprint this story line, considering that the man died of Alzheimerās disease.

As for āracism,ā is it racist to parody old racist tropes?

The Gipperās dumping of the mental health hospitals in Ca, made our state a more dangerous place. The crack cocaine(which was called ārockā here in SoCal), damaged 3 or more generations. His ideas about gun control has morphed into the gun grabbing state we now have. He showed other politicons how to force their views and sell out to the highest bidder. Our country and our freedon is much the worse for it.

The beneficiaries of Reaganomics gifted him a pretty sweet retirement. Meanwhile, mental health patients in Oregon had been turned out of the institutions in droves, and were wandering the streets of Salem, dangerous to themselves and sometimes others.

Raygun was slightly smarter than W. Unfortunately, both RR and W required āhandling,ā and power exerts a vacuum that evil persons are always available to fill.

BTW, Iām sorry RR died from Alzheimerās. It has to be pretty rough on families.

Fun fact: Can you name the only US leader ever convicted of war crimes by an international tribunal?Yup, that would be Ronnie Raygun, for his illegal support of terrorists across South America, and particularly in El Salvador & Nicaragua .

You all need to take a chill pill and put things in perspective. Frickinā PC moronsā¦.

Iāve said it before and Iām going to say it again so long as this arc lasts. This strip is in abominable bad tastes. Iām nobodyās idea of a Reagan fan, but resurrecting strips that satirize the way the man died is sick. Thereās no excuse for inflicting pain on his family this way. Shame on you, Garry Trudeau!
