The bubble above her head says “no.” The fourth panel has the woman back to regular dress saying “and that is how insurance works!”

He pretended to not know that protecting the Constitution was part of his oath of office. He'd rather tear it up. Faithless, spineless, feckless, brainless, unprincipled, out and out evil waste of oxygen That he avoided Polonium and diet Coke or rapid descent from open window in Alaska is a shame

Look, I get that we want the truth about Epstein and Trump and whomever else was party to the pedos But, do we really think "once this drops he's done"? The 43 other felonies, multiple war crimes, bent knee to Putin, failure to deliver any of his day one pledges besides "dictator on day one" didn't

6-panel comic by War and Peas Panel 1: A news reporter, standing waist-deep in water, says, “Becoming a water planet has not been all bad.” The caption reads “Business” with a yellow number 5 icon. Panel 2: The reporter continues, “Today, we’re talking with local pool noodle manufacturer Tom Gibbons.” Tom stands beside him in a red shirt and black tie; in the background, people float on pool noodles. Panel 3: The reporter asks, “Tom, how does it feel to be the most successful businessman around?” A drowning man can be seen waving in the background. Panel 4: Tom replies, “Well, I miss my wife and kids who passed in the floods.” Panel 5: Both men stand silently in the water, the reporter holding his microphone. Panel 6: Tom adds, “But business is thriving.” In the background, more people float in the flooded landscape.

One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said “some guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.

When Trump wanted the MI governor murdered, he didn't try to use government employees and law intimidation officers. Now instead of volunteers and secrecy, he does it in broad daylight and as a photo op

Trump and his minions probably thought IVF entailed non-consensual impregnation of minors and then forcing them to carry full term and then giving the child to "deserving trad wives" MAGA (assuming they read) think the Handmaids Tale, & other dystopias, were meant to be instructional not cautionary

It’ll always be disgusting to me that a convicted criminal was given the power to issue pardons to his fellow criminals so that he can illegally buy their complete loyalty. I’ll never regret voting for the intelligent successful black female prosecutor.

Wasn't Texas one of the states that threatened to prosecute folks for attempting to assist residents "defecting from Texas, Florida, Georgia" to get abortions in freedom of choice and access states? That cult? Again, every accusation was a confession

During oral arguments in the Posse Comitatus Act trial, California's lawyer contextualizes the "standing army" of nearly 5,000 troops in the U.S.'s second largest city. "That’s larger than the entire force sent to Afghanistan in the three months following Sept. 11, 2001," she says.

Which of the following is True: (Select up to three) A) this is bribery and highly illegal B) because the tariff is also illegal, Tim was right C) Tim should be fired, by board without parachute for ethics issues D) that gift was ugly E) Apple bears liability because Tim's life was threatened

Tim is an executive with a major tech company. Tim met with the president of a nation where their products are designed and distributed, but not manufactured. Tim presented that official with a "commemorative", "personalized", gold and glass "sculpture". Shortly after tariff threats stopped:

Funny timing, but I think that Tim Apple might need a refresher on whatever LMS platform they use to roll out things like Business Ethics training and Corruption/Anti-Corruption training for their executives. I half expected to see this past weeks news, as an example:

They're not "distractions", because the administration doesn't care what we the populace think. It's not gamesmanship, because they're not playing. These are moves to disenfranchise voters, their representation, consolidate power and create a dictatorship/oligarchy that he and his puppeteers want
