Prickly City by Scott Stantis for December 31, 2017

This is a column from anti-Drumpf conservative Max Boot that this strip pretty much sums up: http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/12/19/buckle-up-for-year-2-of-trump/.

It’s going to get rough before it gets better, hopefully by the end of November, we’ll see the end of the current reich in site.

Many appointments of smart conservatives to appellate courts, notable diminishment of bureaucratic diktat, elimination of the health insurance mandate, and doubling the standard deduction on taxes. The “new normal” is gone and the free economy is returning. Much for intelligent people to celebrate, only the controlling-leftists are left out in the cold.

Also Isis, which first arose in the prior administration, is now gone, wiped out in one year by merely unleashing the American military. Riots in Iran, the American Embassy moving to Jerusalem. Much going the right way.

Winslow doesn’t know whats coming any more than the rest of us.

Perhaps the majority of Americans will begin to wake up and take responsibility for their own fate. It’s also possible we will just ask Siri or Google to do our thinking for us. “Tomorrow is another day.”

I had a GRRRRRRREAT year, looking forward to another 3 to 7 more of them

Please stop feeding the troll and he’ll go away.

I’m pretty sure Darsan54 is a troll. From the number of his posts on all the comics he must not get much else done.

Darsan has been making intelligent and witty comments around here for years. Two trolls on his case now! Perhaps the nazis will call for a ‘good old fashioned troll storm’ or a fake s.w.a.t. raid next. How delicious.

Maybe the last beautiful year, as the Republicans hurry to destroy environmental protections.

Interesting to see what Trump Disciples believe is ‘Great’.

Doubling of the standard deduction — zero mention of tax cuts for the rich, increase of wealth inequality, or explosion of the deficit.

It’s not clear whether they don’t understand what the rich are getting, or they think it’s ‘great’. Wealth inequality seems to be something to be denied that exists, like climate change. And, of course, deficits are only a talking point to attack Democrats.

.

‘Smart conservatives’ for appellate court justices who lack basic legal knowledge.

.

And the ‘free economy’ returning — Trump Disciples believe that concentrating even more power and money into the hands of fewer corporations will result in lower prices, more and better jobs, and importing fewer ‘legals’ for cheap labor, who become illegals when their visas expire.

.

I’m eagerly anticipating their reports of their cable bills going down.

And if the stories are true that some of them laughed over what they are doing to us including eventually leaving 13 million without medical coverage shows just how evil they are really are. Yes “evil” helping people die when they don’t have to or want to is evil in my book.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” Still True!

“It was the best of times, (for the rich few) it was the worst of times(for the not rich many…” Still True!
