Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 06, 2021

The other side will return the favor in 4 years, Rat.

No mercy for the loser ?

Rat’s been missing something for a long time, and it has nothing to do with anything as sane as politics.

You don’t need to take a political science course to feel glad a particular politician lost. Sometimes Goat’s too priggish.

With the kind of nonsense going on in Washington, I’m surprised the margin of victory wasn’t more emphatic

Normally I’d think about a joke like this as “That wouldn’t be funny if it weren’t so true.” Sadly, I’m now left thinking “That’s so true it’s scary.”

You know why your candidate lost? Because you didn’t put enough flags on your pickup truck!

Oh, and another thing: don’t loose. It’s not much fun. If you can’t avoid it, negate it. Remember, you are a winner, no matter what happens. If someone claims something else, use earplugs. Loud music helps too. No need to feel bad because reality sucks, right?

We have a Congressman and a Senator you only see around election time, and between elections crickets!

Winning. The cause of, and solution to, all our problems.

I thought Rat was a republican. Pig looks more like a democrat. Don’t get me wrong, they’re both idiots, so they qualify with honors for either side. Their idiotic attitude makes them different.

If you look closely, Goat is holding that mug from the side with no handle for some reason. He also passes the mug from his left to right hoof. Conclusion: Goat’s hooves are cold and he’s using the hot tea to warm them. (I do that sometimes.)

No, that’s not important. I’m just the sort of person who notices that stuff.

The people are about to get what they want, good and hard.

The country is in trouble, to many Democrats

That’s right RAT! The losers never forget and taunt the opposition with 10 year old conspiracy theories…fake news….

I found this to be very accurate.

He just doesn’t get it.

Sooo…the devil went down to Georgia? Dalton, GA, maybe?

I didn’t know Rat was a Democrat. But then again, no one puts the “Rat” in “DemocRAT” like Rat does.

Panel 3 nailed it.

Rat must be Republican

I can hardly wait for the history books on the current departing loose nut.

some in the media seem to go a bit over the top with taunting. . .. CNNs tapper seems to be a bit of an ass. ..

Sounds exactly like most folks.

Finally, Heaven on Earth. All our problems solved. Happiness reigns.

They called the Democrats who couldn’t accept Trumps victory snowflakes. What do we call Republicans who can’t accept Bidens? TRAITORS

I may be un-evolved, but after four years of abuse, I think taunting is most definitely in order.

“I’ve gone, to look for America.”

Rat the classic conservative.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned;The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.Or, to bring Yeats up to date:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Right-wing anarchy is loosed upon the world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of Democracy is drowned;The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of Trump’s crazed ranting.Lock them up; lock them all up.

Rat is absolutely correct. And, after today’s events, the taunting will begin anew.

Most of the politicians will go back to campaigning for the next election – whether they won or lost – but mostly the winners. It’s a life-long commitment.

After today’s shameful storming of both houses of Congress, any Congressional Republicans of good conscience (are there any?) should resign from the Republican party. If they can’t bring themselves to join the Democrats, there are other parties out there. Alternatively, they could start a brand new party.

Ha!! That about sums it up.

In fact, that sums up just about every election, yes?

sounds like trump … just win and taunt/bully people … don’t bother leading the country

how about for once we just try to get along

rat is soooo right!

I look at the comments and i relized how much these people really need the news to tell them everything, so it’s always HATE TRUMP, LOVE BIDEN

then again the media puts u against each other, i’m sure democrats are nice and us trump supporters are nice.

I think we ALL miss the point of elections. (Anyone else feel like sitting in the dark room and crying? Thomas Jefferson was right to weep for our country because God is just.)

Rat’s attitude is far too common….

I LOVE Tea-Party tears!

Democrat sweep, in the next two years the Hyde amendment will be repealed, Roe v Wade will be codified, and the Supreme Court expanded.

Feels like the last 4 years…

Still crazy after all four years…

winning is my goal
