Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for October 11, 2024

Indeed, one (maybe even the primary) driver of illegal immigration is a desperate situation where they are. And though only sometimes is that desperation directly because of things like rising sea levels or hurricanes, quite a bit of it is driven by violence which in turn is often driven by the inability to make a living doing traditional … and legal … means.

Five reasons to vote AGAINST Traitor Trump:

He is dumber than a wombat’s tord. Even before he went senile.

NO Christians voted for him. Fake Christians, phony Christians, pretend Christians (far more numerous than fleas and ticks) but none Jesus would recognize.

Wombats are the only animals that have cubical poo.

It is not HIS fault that his “mushroom” is small, per all of his ex and current partners.

His increasing senility might lead him to advocate Hannibal Lector (or Don Jr.) for the Subprime Court.

And, the fifth reason to vote against him: no cowardly dishonest imbecile perverted rapist traitor was ever anywhere CLOSE to that bleedin’ BORING before Traitor Trump!

@Concretionist…..Regarding “illegal immigration”…….No one on North America could be considered “legal immigrants” Native Americans were the first people here but Leif Erikson, the Norse Explorer stumbled upon Vineland in what is now Canada about the year 1000 Ce. Then came Columbus in 1492 followed by loads of Europeans. All of these people thought they had the right to take over Native American territory. We need to recognize that no human being is illegal and that these people are uprooting their lives to try to survive extreme poverty and danger in their home countries!

Not to worry.

Once Americans get over their dictator phobia, as demanded by Republican elites, everything will be wonderful.

Or else.

And Yet the race is close!

He’s promising a lot of good things. I’m sure he’ll keep them as well as the last time!! Oh, wait, Mexico didn’t pay for the wall, he took funds from FEMA to do that. Isn’t that what the Republicans are accusing FEMA of doing now? Taking money to support migrants?! Seems whatever they accuse others of doing is what they have done!! How strange!

VOTE BLUE

I suspect that part of human nature is a failure to recognize the good things that we do have. There are legitimate concerns that politicians have ignored over the years and there are people who are having a hard time. But, why is there this constant expectation (my perception) that things have to be perfect all of the time? And, if a problem arises, it needs to be fixed yesterday?

You can remove “Muslim” from panel 3. Turns out biden and harris also wanted to kill them all.

Free Palestine, defund israel.

None of us is free until all of us are free.

The thing is, this wouldn’t happen. Trump advocated confiscation of guns when he was president, and the GOP (remember—it’s not just Trump who wants Project 2025) absolutely doesn’t want an armed populace once they’ve used people to get into power. Hell, Harris is a gun owner, and I’d bet she’s a better shot than Trump.

At least there’ll be new beachfront property!

Wow, no realization what so ever from Bolling. Those people he is criticizing are helping people in the flood. The Cajun Navy men with boats or leading pack mules with supplies. That isn’t your wine drinking tranys doing that. It isn’t FEMA, that is the very people Bolling wants to paint as nuts.

Sorry all:

What it will be tomorrow, who knows……

I really thought Fisher was going to go an entire strip without bloodshed, but he got it in in the last panel! I now see that this is his theme. He wants to scare all you keyboard warriors out there. It’s working. Like shooting fish in a barrel – and for my purposes, let’s call ‘em rubber bullets. Look, I parted ways with Trump when he unconvincingly insisted on the election “steal,” but he and his cronies didn’t attempt a takeover of the government. That’s the thing with you, Fisher – instead of critiquing him on valid points, you make things up. And you’re completely ignoring Harris’ record, because she is demonstrably worse. All these issues you mention have a flip side, and consensus could be reached on every one – or at least attempted – but it’s far easier for you to terrify your legions of lumpens by painting those who have the temerity to disagree with you as murderous fascists.

You want to talk killing? Let’s discuss all those who are being pushed to transition to another gender. And all those parents, teachers, doctors and therapists who are being pushed to embrace this. Not to explore the reasons for mental and emotional dis-ease, but just to “cure” it with a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. Suicide rates and depression have not decreased. The clinical evidence is very, very clear. In fact, some studies show they have increased. While suicide rates of therapists have increased. It’s not a matter of helping an oppressed people; it’s a matter of exploiting them. It’s cruel and unethical. You know – something fascists would do.

I upticked this toon, tho it isn’t at all realistic.

This guy’s on a quite-high hill, with water all around up to second-story height? He owns a car, but no evidence of a boat. And where is he going to get food and drinking water, heating/cooling, and other means of continued life? What happens when better-equipped thugs come to take everything away from him?

And why did everyone let cartoonTrump do all the stuff he supposedly did to produce this outcome? This guy’s shooting people with apparent impunity, but nobody shot cartoonTrump and his henchcreatures?

Definitely not up to Bolling’s best standards.

Yeah, you had to live like that.

Everyone loves a happy ending. No matter how messy.

Only one problem with this cartoon. The Trumpie would hardly be reading a large book. By the fire, he should be watching his t.v. or laptop.

“He protected my right to own weapons of war.”

Nah. As soon as the GOP rigs the game so they can only be ousted by armed rebellion, they’ll stop believing in people’s right to own more weapons than the average Third World military.

It’s certainly reassuring that Joe Biden’s administration were able to hand out free FEMA funds to illegal migrants as they stormed the border into America as unwelcome guests to various cities. Now there are American citizens who are in dire need of those FEMA funds that are suffering due to the destruction of two hurricanes. Those FEMA funds are not available, yeah that’s correct, for American citizen’s because Joe Biden’s administration and Democrats will take care of illegal migrants before taking care of American citizens. So, how’s your global warming hoax treating you?

Brutally spot on, Ruben.

I think in his mind, anyone else still in the storm must be a looter. He may have learned that by watching YouTube videos.

The new Republican climate crisis plan. Take the high ground. Fence it in and hire guards.

Sad and strange thing is that so many people who are in fact adversely impacted by his policies will still vote for him.

In Apocopolyptic times, guns are cheap and bullets are expensive.

I was a little upset when GoComics shut down the political comments…but, now, not so much. They should down this one too. Let the trolls go back to their caves.

Q: Mr. Fisher, how do you write modern Progressives so well?A: I think of a rational, thinking person, and take away reason and accountability.

My pastor and I organized a discussion last night about the election, about how to listen to and respect other’s points of view and values. It was very well-attended. You folks ought to try it.
