These "kids" are saying the same shit you so-called "adults" are now saying out in the open, so spare me the "grow up" advice until you give it a try for yourself, you pillock.

Brett Kavanaugh is basically arguing tha there have been "sufficient remedies" for racism.

This seems like a good time to bring up the @politico.com about how young Republicans have *remedied* racism.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

Remember when you tried to tell us “the younger generations don’t think that way.” And “the young people will save us.” There are a lot of great, humane, decent, bright young people out there. But there are also a lot of these young people. And they’re not going anywhere.

May expand on this doodle, may doodle some more ideas, may leave this sort of thing to the professionals and bugger off.

It isn't much, but I hope it brings some grins.

#SupporttheTroupes

A doodle of some frogs "melting hearts as easy as solid water" with the statement "I SUPPORT OUR TROUPES". It's all very amaterish and dumb but the artist (moi) still hopes it makes you grin in these devilish times.
