Prickly City by Scott Stantis for December 11, 2024

Not to worry, Carmen. You’ll get justice, just like in Putin’s Russia.

Putin is a savvy genius, you know.

The Messiah said so.

Sausalito

Can’t wait until Trump tanks the economy and Fernando tries to blame the Democrats while the MAGAts are in control.

All the FOX news lies —

America’s rwnjs have been able to shape an alternate reality because of the Fox News Channel (FNC), the brainchild of Australian-born media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Shows on the FNC used clear, simple propaganda with colorful graphics that told/sold a story of an America overwhelmingly made up of white, rural folks who hated taxes and an intrusive government, and would do fine if they could just get the Dems to leave them alone. To spread the new channel, Murdoch initially offered ten dollars per subscriber to each cable company that carried it.

That right-wing echo chamber of lies and propaganda has expanded until it is now so strong that nearly 70% of cons falsely believe trump was the rightful winner of the 2020 presidential election, despite the fact that the FNC had to pay more than $787 million to Dominion Voting Systems for defamation after it lied to viewers about that election.

trump has built on that con narrative to create a fantasy world that is badly out of step with reality. It is not easy to see how he will reconcile his vision with real-world events.

When trump threatened to put a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico until Mexico stopped undocumented migrants from crossing the border, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum told trump that "encounters at the Mexico–United States border have decreased by 75 percent between December 2023 and November 2024.” trump then simply told reporters that Sheinbaum had “agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border,” and his supporters trumpeted on social media that trump had closed the border with one phone call.

Obviously, all these dogs aren’t from Springfiel, OH.! I wonder if one answers to Kash?

Death threats from Trump supporters have become common.

They’re just brown-shirted thugs.

Head for the river and jump on the ice floe. The bloodhounds will lose the scent

The dogs aren’t even pedigree.Just mutts,like the humans who support him

It’s a bit perplexing, the number of “oh gee, he’s really a danger” toons that Stantis started putting out after the election. Before the election it was all a muddled both-sidism.

I am amused at all the comments being made to refute the nonsensical blather of what appears to have the intellectual capacity of a plant. I mean, the comments even come with their very own red flag…well, hat, but still.

One can NEVER say enough mean things about “the orange guy”!

Kash Patel will have Carmen or any news organization investigated for criticizing the Orange Fuhrer

At this rate, Carmen will end up re-registering as a Democrat.

I wish I could start a pool on how long it will take for a photo to hit the news or the internet of some uniformed thug dragging a little kid away from his family.

That’s how it works, Carmen. Trump demands loyalty and obedience and if your opinions don’t match his, you’re a traitor to the country and need to be fed to the dogs. There is no in-between. Bend the knee and kiss the ring.

Hobbes?

If you have a spine, them dogs ain’t got no teeth.
