Hmm, he seems to be growing big and healthy on that diet.

people raised without learning about personal responsibility?

Repubs want Dems to be harder on crime unless it’s someone who attempts to over through a valid election.

The Day of the Triffids.

When a regressive says “soft on crime” they’re talking about things like smash and grab or smoking pot. Because they can’t really talk about things like sedition or bilking the public because those folks are on THEIR team.

Looks like a new meme to be followed by every right wing cartoonist.

The carnivorous plant is actually the Trump base. It feeds on misinformation. Stop feeding it, and all will be well.

And yet it’s the Repubs that are screaming to defund law enforcement. Apparently, Republican criminals are not supposed to be held accountable for the crimes they commit.

Save democracy, vote Democratic up and down the ticket.

Well, since statistics say there is very little difference in crime rates between GOP and Democrat run cities, how are you going to manage that one?

Because more punitive measures were SO successful in the past, yes?

In the movie “Little Shop of Horrors” the plant finally blossomed. I doubt that this Crime plant will blossom nothing but evil.

Are you proposing taking a machete to it, a la Saudi Arabia? Could it be that there are multiple factors that have led to this recent increase in these visually splashy crimes? Does the fact that we already jail/imprison more than most every other country suggest that other solutions might be considered?

Not true, two more proud boys going to prison for real crimes. Now if we can only get the ringleader!!!

The Orange Stain Skidmark, who was adjudicated to be a rapist, out playing golf, is proof America is soft on crime.

Republicans are soft on treason.

Good grief; pick up any Introductory Psychology text or any study on punishment. Harsher punishments never lead to less crime and in many cases, increases it.

yapping about “soft on crime progressives” while sipping coffee from their “Mugshot” mugs.

Do as MAGA says not as they do.

We we can see all the right-wing fascist political cartoonist all received the same orders from the bloated orange maga Fuhrer. You clowns are so absolutely pitiful. It’s funny.

Leftists can post their b.s. all day long but they cannot run away from their record on this. They ARE more concerned with criminals than victims and independents see it and will vote accordingly.

Deflection and ignoring truth and facts is in their playbook!

What about gun control? Falls on deaf ears

What about the lying traitor who set up the insurrection? Deflection

What about the justices who have no ETHICS and lie about it? falls on deaf ears

What about the loons, nuts and wack jobs trying to over throw our democracy and still support the lying POS? Deflection

Pathetic

Crime is at historic lows in the US. You are safer now than you’ve ever been in this country. You don’t have to my for it, just peruse the DOJ crime database or any other crime database.

Of course Republicans can’t sell their platform on that, so they lie.

The republican crime syndicate is soft on white collar crime and openly at war with progressive policies.

Feed me, Soros!

Good the lax, or missing, rules controlling guns be a huge part of the problem?

Soft on crime? How about make it harder to purchase a gun; I will never be convinced those 2 don’t go hand-in-hand.

The US is second only to China, worldwide, in the people incarcerated in 2023 and 2nd only to China. 1.68 million of our residents are currently imprisoned. Boy Howdy! this lock ’em up stuff is really working!

Again, crime is well researched. The overwhelming conclusion and easily accessed by anyone without GOP agenda meme poisoning:

“Crime is a complicated issue, touching on personal disputes, the economy, social services and, really, almost every other aspect of society. Only a few factors are significant enough to make a big difference by themselves — and partisanship is not one of them.”

These brainwashed wokety-wokes keep telling everyone that there is no crime. But stores keep closing down in Seattle, and the ones trying to stay open have the Tide and ice cream under lock and key.

Armed teens in Seattle are following people home from shopping, then assaulting and robbing them as they try to get in their front door. If it weren’t for “ring” cameras, nobody would know because there is no way the propaganda media would cover crime.

Leave the traitors alone!

What beautiful art this cartoon is! I just want to keep looking at the picture.
