Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 05, 2025

Washington in action

On the plus side, the gaslighters are even more mentally ill than their victims. Come to think of it, not much of a plus…..

Time to trade the spear for a fishing pole.

…and those on the left will still not see the ‘define female’ joke/correlation here.

What is ‘is’?

Should have stopped arguing in the first panel as soon as he said “No. It’s not.”

Welcome to modern day American Political and Social Media discourse.

It’s like Magat brains are stuck in the phase three-year-old children go through, where they always say the opposite of whatever the adults tell them.

If I want your opinion I’ll give it to you!

Here Pictured: The biblical son of Noah, ‘Shem’ and his irritating ‘Shem Antics’.

Also known as doubling down.

The creation of the republican party

Rally response of some of us boomers when challenged to define: “I know it when I see/feel/smell it.”

People would rather believe a convenient lie than the truth.

“I’d rather have questions that cannot be answered than answers that cannot be questioned.” – Richard Feynman

We live in a world where authority is never questioned by many.

R.I.P. Critical Thinking.

Two fishermen in TX were getting a good catch and ignored the tornado that was approaching.

Me right! World wrong.

My fingernails hurt!

The first thing my wife and I thought of when we read this strip was flat Earth advocates. Then I thought about pretty much every conspiracy theory ever.

I get headaches too when attempting to explain things to the Red Hatted . I’ve given up on it

Oh well, the guy in the rain is only hurting himself, so it’s HIS problem!

“Prove it” ~ Brain numb Liberal trolls everywhere.

Responding to ignorance – especially the willful kind – is always difficult.

Politicians seem to learn new way to speak when they arrive in their elected positions: “Investing” (Spending), “I’ll look into that” (I don’t know), “The data will show” (the numbers will be massaged), “I support my colleague…” (I made a deal to benefit my district), and so on and so forth.

The first of the Magateers, with His Numbness, King Buttercup, the winner by a fault.

I can understand why so many billionaires and millionaires are donating millions to Trump for his inauguration — the only color he is interested in is green and they want to be noticed favorably. But what I can’t understand is why it should cost so much. [Is the money being used to buy and hawk the made-in-China inauguration souvenirs?] Also, given the common-person’s view of the economy today, why aren’t people just a tad bit upset at the expense? And, what happens to any left-over money?

PETRUCHIO

I say it is the moon.

KATHARINA

I know it is the moon.

PETRUCHIO

Nay, then you lie: it is the blessed sun.

KATHARINA

Then, God be bless’d, it is the blessed sun:

But sun it is not, when you say it is not;

And the moon changes even as your mind.

What you will have it named, even that it is;

And so it shall be so for Katharina.

Neanderthals did not go extinct; more or less, they were folded into the homosapien genome. However, you can still see the primitive, knuckle-dragging presence of Neanderthal’s latent DNA in today’s modern world. The current iteration of Neanderthal wears a red hat, they are uninformed, they vote against their interests, and they support self-absorbed convicted criminal for President.

And, get this—these modern-day room-temperature I.Q. Neanderthals actually think the criminal they put in office will work to help them! This would be incredibly funny, if it weren’t so tragic.

Choosing to stop arguing will not make the wet less wet.

“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself. – Joseph Goebbels, and Karine Jean-Pierre, gaslighting specialists.

or Stupidity. Take your choice. They are both still alive and doing well in society today……

My brain quit in November. Hopefully it will survive and awaken in 2028.

Republicans have always been the party of troglodytes who hate progress.

It’s funny how the left and right can look at this comic and see whatever they want.

This is like the Flat Earth people or the Moon landing deniers. Show them evidence and they won’t “see it”. They’re mostly BS trolls anyway.

Early Trump.

I dont know about gaslighting, I know trumpers cant tell fact from fiction!

The best example of trying to argue with a Leftist Dem.

The cartoonist must be on a break because I remember this strip.

“Me not drowning you because there is no water from the rain”

We know the fool getting soaked doesn’t believe in health care, either.

This looks more like the creation of republicans.

If you let the gas lighters and trollers ‘drown’ , then the comment thread gene pool will improve.

Does this mean that those who do the gaslighting are full of water? That they are all wet?

What do you mean gaslighting? The border is secure, prices are down, crime is down and there has never been a terrorist attack on U.S. soil

Brilliant

The Southern Border is secure.

The Afghan pullout was a success. [If it wasn’t, it was Trump’s fault.]

White Supremacy is “the most dangerous terrorist threat” to the American homeland.

[If I think that I posted this list earlier today and that it disappeared, it was just my imagination. It did not really happen. I must be delusional.]

I hope everybody commenting on this strip has noticed that the red-hat crowd itself can never point to a single thing they like about Donald J. Trump, or any of his accomplishments, and certainly not any of his memorable stirring rhetoric (“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you all can do for me me me me me!”). All they can do is spout “TDS TDS TDS” all day long, as if that’s some kind of irrefutable discussion-ender. To give them what little credit they’re due, if that’s all they’ve got, it’s what they’re stuck with.

Let’s go, Brandon.

This is the part where you expect members of one party/ideology to say today’s strip represents the failings of the other party/ideology. I like to think of today’s strip as non-partisan.

And the guy outside has been told by a lying sleaze convicted criminal it is dry and he sincerely believes it. Actual facts no longer have meaning.

To thine own self be true. Stupid, stubborn and soggy.

Gaslighting is when person A gets person B to believe something false is true in defiance of what person B directly experiences, so that person A benefits. Here we have person B believing that something isn’t true in defiance of person B’s own direct experience, to person B’s own detriment, while person A tries to help person B while gaining no benefit. This isn’t gaslighting at all.

Me think Wiley sad…… ;-(

If people wanna be stupid, let them. Nature will take care of the rest.

I think Wiley is referring to that b#$@# Scott Jennings’ gaslighting of Jimmy Carter during a CNN show this past week.

KJP is the poster child for it

Are cavemen eligible for 2024 cabinet posts?

If he is staying in the rain he prefers that to your company.

Some people believe that an argument is the same as a conversation. I tried to tell my curmudgeon of a father-in-law that the sun set in the west and he replied “Not necessarily”. How do you argue with such a moron?
