“No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities.”

Christian Nestell Bovee

Wow! Admire the evolution of belief…. 2000 yrs later it is now 2 ppl walking over (muddy) water.

Too many people for whom that’s not just true but normal.

Go ahead and confront — they’re walking on water, after all…

Looks like the tide of rational thought went out and isn’t coming back.

I hope those hikers are keeping an eye out for sharks.

Why aren’t the two walkers crawling and crying out for water (or Chateau LaFite ’96 or whatever)?

Global warming has dried up the ocean

Proof that Jesus had descendants

“Hey, look! There’s a ‘Stop the Steal’ sign over there!”

“Where? Where?”

Somewhere there’s a psychiatrist’s couch and a guy with a safe falling on him.

Lotta that going around. Buttercup and Ha’Pence on the left and the rest of the sane world on the right staring in wonder at the display.

tRumpkins on their “island”.

Sadly I know a few people trapped on an island just like that.

Not only is no man an island, sanity here requires seeing that there is no island.

Trumpsters?

Is the cap he wearing colored red with MAGA on it?

Not my Absolute Belief !

“I reject your reality and substitute my own.” Adam Savage.

I wish Mythbusters would do a show on Trump winning the 2020 election.

Tribalism amplified by cable news and the internet. Maybe we would be better off if we turned them off.

Freedom without responsibility OR love of your neighbor

They can’t be hikers, because the Mighty Leader sez we’re stranded in an ocean, and he NEVER LIES.

Should have had the guy crawling in search of water instead of the hikers.

Ignorance is bliss. Enforcing ignorance is censorship. This is America, where “banned in Boston” is the fastest way to get people to read your book.

Oh, those poor souls, who defend their ignorance, as if it was a virtue.

cognitive dissonance is such a bummer.

Best Stranded On A Desert Isle gag I have ever seen! Good on soo many levels.

“Two Realities, so unalike in age and dignity. . . " apologies to the Bard’s prologue to Romeo and Juliet.

Trump and McConnell.

Living in the past has consequences. They could be taking a pleasant stroll.

This is what Jan 21 is going to be like for a lot of people

“This ship has sailed” – Judge Parker

The thing is, nature doesn’t care what your beliefs are. I know a nurse who has had patients admitted to ICU while swearing that COVID was ‘fake news.’ Lots of Darwin Awards this year.

Is that a MAGA hat?

Don’t be so hard on yourself

It doesn’t really look like there is much turning around needed – there is always a bunch of desert out there.

Why folie a deux can be fatal.

He is a man of great faith.

Then the other guy on the island should just say to the guy refusing to look, “Ok suit yourself, see ya later!” & slip off the mound & join the hikers & leave!

For all non-Trump folks:The clown in the White House just brokered two three Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless wars failed to produce.

The buffoon in the White House is the first president that has not engaged us in a foreign war since Eisenhower.

The clown in the White House has had the greatest impact on the economy, bringing jobs, and lowering unemployment to the Black and Latino population of ANY other president. Ever.

The buffoon in the White House has exposed the deep, widespread, and long-standing corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Republican and Democratic parties.

The buffoon in the White House turned NATO around and had them start paying their dues.

The clown in the White House neutralized the North Koreans, stopped them from developing a further nuclear capability, sending missiles toward Japan, and threatening the West Coast of the US.

The clown in the White House turned our relationship with the Chinese around, brought hundreds of businesses back to the USA.

The clown in the White House has accomplished the appointing of three Supreme Court Justices and close to 300 Federal Judges.

This same clown in the White House lowered your taxes, increased the standard deduction on your IRS return from $12,500 for Married Filing Joint to $24,400 and caused your stock market to move to record levels over 100 times, positively impacting the retirements of tens of millions of citizens.

The clown in the White House fast-tracked the development of a COVID Vaccine – it will be available within weeks – we still don’t have a vaccine for SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, or a host of diseases that arose during previous administrations.

The clown in the White House rebuilt our military which the Obama administration had crippled and had fired 214 key generals and admirals in his first year of office.

I believe in nothing absolutely. Except GoComics.

The world IS flat!!

What’s his name – Trump?

Perfect! You can’t see me if I close my eyes.

‘I am a stable psychopath. The most stable of all. I’m the most psychopathic person in the room!’

Wouldn’t he of noticed the lack of water from the side he IS looking at?

None so blind as those who won’t turn around and look.

A scene from the play “Lamp at Midnight” comes to mind here.

I believe Heisenberg may have been here!

which is why once an antivaxer always an antivaxer

The true meaning of “Desert Island”.

Amen.

You gotta love those who believe in “Alternative facts.”
