Does he give asylum to people? I thought he only sold asylum. No way Trump lets an Afghani into this country without getting paid.

By 'vetted' you mean he dealt with President 34felonies-and-counting in the same way so many others have when seeking official favors from him, then sure, yeah he was vetted. There's probably a clear paper trail. Does he even do any other kind of vetting?

When then, in that case, there is no antisemitic dog-whistling in any of my comments. Prove me wrong, fascist.

If you've bought into the lie that anti-Zionism is antisemitic, you've already sided with the fascists.

If it happens, it will be the first time in world history that a fascist regime has been ousted without the violent removal of its leadership, so please excuse my skepticism.

WTF are you talking about?!? He only got 6,109,549 votes out of the entire state of Florida, and you would have us believe 6 million of those came from a non-existent county?

Yes, I think you would still give a crap if he was not ostensibly the POTUS. Based solely on the things he had already done prior to his first term, I think you'd still have found his criminal activities newsworthy enough to talk about on your show.

IMO, lots of folks seem under the impression as that our moral compass points to the same North as the moral compass of a Christian nationalist. But, where the left values justice, the right values loyalty. Conservatives can morally accept brazenly malicious unfairness as long as their team wins.

I also enjoy cheering enthusiastically for every person that sings on karaoke night and booing and hissing at the villains when I'm in the groundling audience of a Shakespeare play.

Imagine you are "the Steven Colbert of political cartoonists". What do you want the response to a cartoon like this one to be? It strikes me that the point of the cartoon is to draw precisely this kind of criticism. It's audience participation.

This guy is the "Steven Colbert of the political cartoon world" is that it? Even his in-panel meta-commentary is going to be ultra-conservative? This content is no different from that of an actual ultra-conservative and I'll critique it as such. Think of this as a "yes, and.."

They say that's what they fear, but what I see them demonstrating isn't a fear of retributive vengeance for the actions of white ancestors, it's a fear of accountability. They fear there will be justice for the things they are still doing.

You must be using a different Google than I am. When I asked Google the mouse population it told me there were "possibly between 10 and 20 billion, though these are difficult numbers to verify." TBH, I'm pretty sure even that estimate is still far too low.

If 34felonies claims he want's to extend ACA credits, you can be fairly certain he's lying. He's just planning to shift the blame to the other Republicans.

I have serious doubts about the ethics of anyone that pledges to support the right-wing extremist regime of a foreign government in a genocidal campaign of ethnic cleansing and expansionism, but fine.
I should point out, though, that the GOP still had to pull every dirty trick they knew to win.

There's a recognized convention for political cartoons that are meant to be satirical: the addition of a 'Greek-chorus' character in a corner of the frame to make commentary from the artists perspective. But instead, the clearly conservative "current fad" note indicates the artist's perspective.

Intentionally making things bad is the great conservative pastime. They don't need imitators, and neither do we.

Meh. From my perspective I just cut the bad part out of the onion and used the rest to make a delicious soup.

They will fail to court martial him. These efforts to rid himself of political criticism are ridiculous. Going through legal channels will fail him every time. You'd think that by now he'd realize there is a reason Putin has his enemies defenestrated.

You are talking about economic globalization. That is not the only kind of globalization. Globalization of communication technology has made it possible for people to communicate far more effectively with those in other parts of the world, which is a great thing for the people, but their rulers.

Republicans believe that once they lose power the Dems will prosecute them for their illegal activities. They know they are guilty. Why would they campaign when they can stash those funds in an offshore account and use them to buy asylum in a nation that doesn't have extradition with the U.S.?
