Prickly City by Scott Stantis for August 12, 2022

Yeah those halcyon days of the orange vomits (choke) presidency!

Kansas you were home and then some of you woke up and, well, maybe you can get to the home of logic, reasoning and human decency!

Well, some cartoonist is late to the party. And just a tad too casual with his analysis.

He left out the “TAX INCREASE” anvil over their heads…

Reds always think the economy is bad when their team isn’t in the White House. They believe Fox over their lying eyes. There’s actually a non-zero chance inflation will recede enough to brighten voters’ mood by November.

Great month of hiring in July, fuel prices decreasing, market creeping up, climate bill going forward, trumpster fire’s keister in a sling, what does Depresso Stanti post?:

I like the flying monkeys.

Good thing the pandemic has NO after-effects.

But you don’t have the Silver Slippers (Ruby in the movie), Winslow.

Scott Stanis from Counterpoint:

“When I started working in Republican campaigns, the party I signed up for had allegiance to a set of principles and ideals. Lower taxes, fewer regulations and, mostly, adherence to the rule of law. Now we see a bizarro party where right is wrong, wrong is right and a strictly enforced allegiance, not to principles, but to a deeply flawed individual. ” -SS

Ooh! a wry metaphor AND a Wizard of Oz joke! Props!

Right now, I savings bonds are paying 9%. (Those are like the EE savings bonds but include an inflation index.)

How conscientious: he changed one of the monkeys slightly. I guess I should overlook the trite clip-art-between-words bit.

And that is ‘home,’ Winslow. You’ve always been in a featureless void with a prop or two jammed in, and your existence is as rich and varied as it can be for someone whose life consists of reacting to labels day in, day out.
