As for panel 10, it now all makes sense why Thomas might want to rethink gay marriage. I mean, who wants to come home to find out his married wife is now a husband with a mustache! (Even though he will still support her cooze.)
The Civil War was over states right to control things they liked over federal regulations of things they wanted. They lost the battle….however The Supreme Court just surrendered…..giving back state rights to resist federal regulations they don’t like.
I find it interesting, in a psychotic sort of way, that nobody anywhere seems to be discussing how to solve the problem of GOP takeover. The Dims just say “vote for us more, give us more money” without mentioning that with gerrymandering it doesn’t matter because the net result is predetermined.
Back in the day some of us the number varied a bit day by day had a little game we played to see who would buy lunch. We’d hold between zero and three coins in our hands and then try to guess the total number of coins. I noticed that the guy from DC won disproportionately, but it took me forever to figure out how: he wasn’t trying to “read minds” the way the rest of us were, he was just looking at the odds, and calling that.
There was some excuse for me taking so long to figure it out because I’m so hopeless with numbers, but the others didn’t have that problem. They should have been calling the odds too, but they weren’t.
The only explanation I could imagine was that everyone but the DC guy was being captivated by the idea of “guessing the total” as though there were something arbitrary about it, rather than it being a simple function of coins x players.
Could the same kind of problem be causing the general unwillingness to think about saving what little democracy we have left? It’s we who will suffer, not the ones running the casino and rigging the games. So why are we ignoring what’s happening?
That’s funny! And equally funny would be a “fair and balanced” parody called “The Honeymooners” starring Joe & Jill Biden who are completely checked-out of reality on a permanent vacation. “To the moon, Jill….to the moon!”
gerrymandered districts really violate the idea of fair representation.
the court should have forced states to come up with better redistricting measures long ago. We aren’t a republic/democracy without fair representation.
The gerrymandering is dishonest, of course, but people are never FORCED to vote the way the gerrymanderers presume they will. Far more troublesome is the out-and-out vote suppression pandemic.
Any road, Clarence has been known as a perjuror (by intelligent people, I mean) for decades, whereas his wife’s insanity (and treason) are much more recent news.
I think the episode with Ginny at the chocolate factory is still my favorite. Of course there’s Ginny’s Vitameatavegamin episode that is a close second.
The way I feel, we’re here now. After they end our rights, and we happily give them away to them, the only thing left for them to do is to find out who voted against them…

This is an actual case coming before SCROTUS and it will give Republicans the right to decide elections any way they want.

Very well done, but too close to reality to be funny.

Forward this panel to Teddie Rall; might break him out of his mania for right wing zealots.

They should legislate bring your treasonous spouse to work day and stipulate that they bring lunch.
