Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 19, 2018

I don’t know about Starbucks, but Amazon and Apple are looking for more people.

And the President just has to put out a tweet saying that it’s all fake news. That tweet will be on the headlines while the factual reports will be buried on page 3.

I bet Rat will soon do a fake “awards show” awarding “fake news media outlets” (i.e., the mainstream media) something for presenting “fake coverage” (in other words, the plain facts) on him just like Drumpf did recently to distract everyone from his real scandal involving his ties with the Neo-Soviets (as I still call the Russians; Vladimir Putin was a KGB agent, and no one ever leaves the KGB).

Usain Bolt? Is Pastis trying to get the “Geezer of the Day” award?

Starbucks? Trump (through Russian connections) would buy Starbucks out of fear that former journalists would inform its “coffee elite” customers of the truth about his administration. GoComics is a much better forum for any journalist.

It really chaps Progressives that their propaganda machine no longer sets the narrative.

The chap on the left is the BBC’s Nick Robinson!Here’s his picture … https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/20/590x/Nick-Robinson-BBC-589157.jpg

How did we end up on the wrong side of our poking stick?

Because that’s the only other job MSM journalists are qualified for…

For a second I read the comment in the last panel as “My low moral” as in “moral standards” and I started to wonder if the average journalist and the President are about on par.

He’s so corrupt that he paid hush money to a porn star to keep quiet about an affair when his wife was pregnant, and it’s NOT big news. Any other President, it would be 24/7 coverage.

I’ve now developed a giant case of believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. I wonder when a cure for that will be discovered.

My tweet button is bigger than yours – and it works!

He’s just having fun baiting the press, and they don’t realize it.

“A lie can run around the world before the truth has got its boots on”. From The Truth by Sir Terry Pratchett, although it’s possible the actual quote may be older than that.

Is it necessary to get into political and media bashing when commenting on a comic strip!

If you’all don’t understand the purpose of the media nowadays, you deserve what you get. The media is no longer interested in reporting truth. Their only purpose is to create headlines to entice suckers into clicking on their reports, hence creating a cash flow from advertisers.

Eventually the democrats will regain control and their concentration camps will be lovely. This is not sarcasm, this is hope.

You MAY get tired of reading it, but I never get tired of posting it, so here it is, again! To find out where we’re heading in America under Donald John Trump, read Orwell’s “1984” and “Animal Farm”! I’m feeling more and more like a modern-day (and male,incidentally) Cassandra. The analogy is, by no means perfect, but I,too, feel as if I and others like myself are just tilting at ‘windmills’! Being able to see the past in our future is by no means comforting – READ ORWELL!

I don’t know what Rat would do if his Twitter account got removed.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes four. If that is granted, all else follows. (George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four)

Vet thes guys very carefully, Starbucks! They’re persistent, mean, and don’t follow instructions well, if at all….

Now all he needs is to sign an EO saying that everyone else is to blame for anything that goes wrong and the final stage of the 2D to 3D merging will begin.
