Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for January 30, 2025

I hate clicking “like” for something that makes my head explode.

White Privilege is another concept that all magats believe does not exist, along with increasing wealth inequality and climate change.

Instead, they believe in Trickle Down and that tax cuts for billionaires and patriotic multinational corporations benefit them personally.

And to think its worse today than when this strip was originally drawn.

As a conservative moron, I believe black people need to stop blaming others and take personal responsibility, lift themselves up by their boot straps, need fathers in the home, it’s a cultural problem, all lives matter, blue lives matter, and etc you get it.

He shouldn’t have bought Skittles.

Looks like time to stop “checking” my white male privilege, and time to start putting it to work for me!

as their divisive psychops have been so successful, would we be able to re-unify as in Civil Rights era, or leave off streaming long enough to protest now that he has people willing to shoot us in the legs & elsewhere? first they came for General Milley…..

Sunday begins ‘Black History Month’. This year, with the election of tRump, it looks as though this Great Nation has taken steps backward in equality among race and gender. ‘WOKE’, the recognizing and acceptance of real history, has been demonized by the conservative right led by tRump and his MAGA supporters. Most will not make the effort to look at history, let alone learn from it.

Our Founders called for in 1776 and made law in 1787 for equality and rights.

‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights’.

Some, but not all of our Founders wanted to end slavery, and “all men” to include everyone of major age, women and those of color. The times and circumstances delayed that. However, as the years have gone the U.S. has corrected that delay. Now it seems some are trying to eliminate those corrections. We need to fight those people in order for this Great Nation to be Great again.

In February much of the remembrance will be that of a man who said “I had a dream”. My dream is that all Americans embrace and live up to those sacred words in the documents of our government. My nightmare is what we have now.

Ten tears later and this cartoon is still too true! What is wrong with our Nation?

As with the freezing of all of those federal funds…. The amazing constitutional illegality of it all aside, it’s been wild to watch the reaction of conservatives here. Many of them seem to have had no idea that Uncle Sugar’s been ladling funds into their soup bowls too, and not just the bowls of those lazy poor people. Plus, there’s the irony of watching Republican politicians do the panic dance. Regardless, I doubt if any this will decrease their allegiance to the orange guy, who clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing, and who also obviously knows that he doesn’t know what he’s doing. I suspect he’s just having fun, watching everybody, including the players on his own team, run around in a panic, relishing the fact that he is the ONE who’s caused all of this mayhem.

Too close to the truth to be funny. But, it is a very good one.

If it ain’t happening to you, it ain’t happening.

The subtitle sums it up nicely.

Make sure everybody is afraid of everybody and present yourself, not as a unifier, but as the one who will deal with all the enemies harshly. Then pick one vulnerable group and loudly focus on them.

not that it’s in any way equivalent, but i just have to smile, especially at my advanced age, when i go into a shop at the mall (here in japan) and the plain clothes dick follows me around as i’m checking things out. maybe it’s because so many japanese oldsters shoplift, that must be why… ☺

I remember this one very well.

Wow, missed this one yesterday, I know Bolling is taking it to the absurd, still I wish he could see how he makes things worse.

By telling the truth? I don’t think so.
