So true! Those politicians sure have gotten themselves into a pickle. They’re to blame for their own predicament (and it’s fun to watch them squirm!) Pharisees at their best – Trump’s just saying what a lot of them believe but don’t dare put in to words.
keenanthelibrarian about 8 years ago
Not sure what a racist hypothetical belief is. Please enlighten me.
keenanthelibrarian about 8 years ago
I’m trying not to be bigotted; all I want to know is what a racist hypothetical belief is. BTW I am very well read.
Varnes about 8 years ago
keenanthelibrarian…Yeah, I have a hard time understanding Nate too….Left-wing racism? Seriously? One of the hallmarks of the right wing IS racism, plain and simple…

Can we all at least agree that both candidates have really lowered the bar……

The choice of candidate in this election is like the choice of being shot by firing squad or being hung. Either way, you’re going to feel some pain. And, one cause of this ‘choice’ that has not been mentioned is the role the media played in shrinking a wide field down to these two. Had the networks and newspapers given relatively equal time and exposure to each person, both democrats and republicans would have had significantly different choices on the ballot.Instead information controllers followed the old maxim that news media go for the easy shots, the sensational, the splashy. Anything else is left in the ashes. Pity.

Maybe the election in the U.S. is like the movie ‘Trading Places’. Who would be the Dukes for the ’Pubs and Democrats?

I will be happy when the election is over, so Wiley can get back to being funny.

Must be. Democrats are so used to corruption they think its normal.

“Leftwing racist hypocritical beliefs”… are you trying to be ironic or moronic… hard to tell.
DukeOfURL Premium Member about 8 years ago
The Dems won’t run from their vile and despicable traitoress thief of a candidate – they think that’s normal…

Republican Hypocrisy, the ‘right way’; but not ours.

Well, it’s either put up with Trump or face decades of a liberal supreme court. Hillary is threatening to put Obama on the supreme court!

Anyone but Trump, the narcissistic public foul mouth who has no concept of diplomacy or world reality. And is impulsive,

Wiley is in the process of turning an entertaining strip into one that about half of us sick enough of mainstream media politics aimed in only one direction may just start giving the strip a skip. Left and right are already covered by Doonesbury and Mallard. Give it a rest.

Please move Wiley to the editorial group where he belongs.

Lay out that “bigotry” you claim is there first.
Night-Gaunt49[Bozo is Boffo] about 8 years ago
No just your local bad sides voted for a fascist, rapist, masher corrupt to the bone candidate. Who is pals with a dictator, Putin and wants to run the country like him.
Night-Gaunt49[Bozo is Boffo] about 8 years ago
An uptick in crime (assaults and violence) and harassment of women (and the rest of them) by the local ‘Conservative Republicans’ we call racists thugs you mean?
Geezer about 8 years ago
Do any of you know how to right more than headlines and leading questions?
I bet they know the difference between “write” and “right.”

And as usual, Wiley will disclaim any bias with “It’s just a cartoon”. Yeah, a biased one. (Not that he doesn’t have the right, but it would be an amazing day if he’d admit to it.)
facing_bs about 8 years ago
no one cares about your political views. They care about humor, that’s why they read your comic strip. Forget the politics and you’ll do better.

Of course they have skills. They were independent merchants now in a chain-store world. They were farmers who cared for the soil in an agribusiness world. They were artisans in an assembly-line world. They were scholars and teachers in a world that disparages both. They lived in a world of heat and drought and yet survived. And when the corporate world collapses of its own dead weight, exhausted resources, and dying planet, they will be the last to go.

The clip got cut off. Here’s the rest of it:
The Arizona Republic, which had never endorsed a Democrat for president since its founding in 1890: “Trump responds to criticism with the petulance of verbal spit wads. That’s beneath our national dignity. When the president of the United States speaks, the world expects substance. Not a blistering tweet.”The Dallas Morning News, which had not endorsed a Democrat for president in more than 75 years: “He plays on fear—exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny—to bring out the worst in all of us, rather than the best. His serial shifts on fundamental issues reveal an astounding absence of preparedness. And his improvisational insults and midnight tweets exhibit a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control.”The San Diego Union-Tribune, which had not endorsed a Democrat for president in its 148-year history: “Terrible leaders can knock nations off course. Venezuela is falling apart because of the obstinance and delusions of Hugo Chávez and his successor. Argentina is finally coming out of the chaos created by Cristina Kirchner and several of her predecessors. Trump could be our Chávez, our Kirchner. We cannot take that risk.”USA Today, which had never endorsed a presidential candidate (and still stopped short of an actual endorsement of Clinton): “®esist the siren song of a dangerous demagogue. By all means vote, just not for Donald Trump.”

Say what you like, but we didn’t rig OUR primary.
No, your candidate took your primary hostage by threatening to run as an independent if not nominated.

After some effort to cut myself off from the vile and despicable bulk of humanity, filled with bile and excrement, I finally arrived at the ingenious invention of the guillotine, and was able to properly establish my distinction from them, which I enjoyed for as much as three minutes before darkness took me.
I’m your top, prime cut of meat
I’m your choice
I wanna be elected!
GeorgeSteele about 5 years ago
And here we are, three years later, with the best President and greatest prosperity in the history of the country. Second thoughts, Wiley? Yeah, I didn’t think so – delusion runs deep in this one.
