Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 09, 2019

Watch the cartoon channel and chill.

This reminds me ……….. it’s time for bed.

Congress, we’re outraged that you have been ignoring the issues facing the average Americans and Congress has been focused on it’s own campaign interests. We are outraged that Congress and White House has rejected the basic American Constitutional interest – WE THE PEOPLE

Now if Pastis pulls one of his complex puns, we can all be outraged again.

One guy should say “Be outraged about this” and the other guy should say “Be enraged about this.”

Very like the “five minutes hate” sessions in Orwell’s 1984. The government sponsored daily rant sessions where everyone in a given work or school or social setting would shout angry slogans about whichever nation was this week’s declared enemy. Sometimes a bulletin would go out announcing that the former enemy and ally were not in opposite roles. People had to be careful to switch their rants to the new target to avoid suspicion of being subversive. There were always multiple sets of pro test signs available so that even in the middle of the hate rants one could throw down the old signs and hold the new ones aloft.

Oceania is our mortal enemy, Eastasia is our faithful ally !

No wait, let me rephrase that….

Just like antibiotics, overuse of outrage can reduce its effectiveness.

And that’s the WH’s secret strategy. To cause outrage fatigue and then exhaustion.

I really miss the early days of ‘Pearls’.

out . . . . raged . . .

The real problem is outrage with inaction.

The Horror… The Horror…… Croc Power !

Well, that de-escalated quickly!

When you get outraged and upset about everything, in reality, you stand for nothing.

If, say, National Parks are Americ’s Best Idea, for-profit media is America’s Worst Idea. We shouldn’t let them be peddlers of outrage.

Don’t know,don’t care.

Until they are voted out of office, America and Americans are doomed to tolerate the scums running the country. Sadly voters are lazy…they vote for all the familiar names and never research the new guys. So we’re stuck with Mitch the dead, useless turtle, all his followers, the village idiot in the WH, his clueless, opportunist family, the dumb cabinet members, and the Dems who are still looking for their spines. Politicians spend all their days raising campaign money for themselves, plus they get millions in bribes from all the big Corps, big Pharma, Big Agra, and last but not least The treasonist NRA!

perfect explanation

Pastis kinda preachy…

It’s outright outrageous of course. Whatever it ought to be.

Outrage overload.

Why do outraged and enraged mean the same thing? Sort of like flammable and inflammable, I guess.

Yumpin’ Yimminey, the trolls are out today.

unfortunately there are still so many people to go around to be outraged over the petty stuff. Also people who want the attention over their outrage …

There are plenty of people in this country who are always looking for something to be outraged about.

You know individuals can be mad at more than one thing, right?

I’m so tired of protesting, I’m completely out of rage.

Divide and conquer.. trump has given us so many things to be outraged about.. we are no longer capable of focusing on one.. and, trump wins.

Democratic Party primary race summary.

Classic case of RIF…Righteous Indignation Fatigue.

Forecast for October 2020.

Hell hath no fury as a voter scorned – NOT!

Not “Congress”. GOP-ruled Senate. McConnell, Graham & Co.

Yellow or Red, I’d rather be dead.

I’m OUTRAGED because all this is making me feel…well, unsafe!

Term limits for all?

We’re not as Outraged as we Should be.. about what truly matters.

You know, I really want to care about apathy, but I’m just not feeling it.

Okay, okay. I’m outraged. Now shut up and leave me alone!

Zzzzzz….
