   Unless you happen to have seen Croby’s tweet, it makes no sense. I had to look it up & a Fox News piece was the top hit. You’re calling those lines “Crosby quotes”, but as I explained, they’re from a screenshot someone else tweeted & Crosby replied to it. It doesn’t seem I’m the only one who was initially confused.

   The artwork is superb, as always.

   Santos is a gift to cartoonists, stand up comedians & Kevin McCarthy.

   Maybe you haven’t noticed, but the GOP welcomes lying frauds, as long as they help keep billionaires’ taxes low.

   Weird thing is houses in red states are far more likely to have electric stoves than gas. Maybe because they only have modern infrastructure because of Federal electrification projects like the TVA & Bureau of Reclamation.

   I’ve heard plenty of people talking about Don Jr’s coke habit, but 2AndFour may know something we don’t. ¯\(ツ)/¯

   Let’s be real: Trump would never give Xi classified docs. Trump gave them to Kim & Putin, who regifted them to Xi.

   A huge majority of George Santos’ constituents want him gone. Not only is the House GOP refusing to boot him, or even criticize him, they gave Santos two committee assignments.

   Even Fox News admits it’s wrong.

   “I don’t see anywhere it says you’d have to ally with fascists.”

   You don’t think the racists skinheads from Idaho are neo-Nazis? Good lord, learn what you’re talking about. Idaho has been a hotbed of US fascist groups for YEARS.

   “But you’re going to sit here and say things are fine enough that either we don’t need to change things, or that radical change is not needed.”

   You completely misrepresent what I said. The pandemic showed how our healthcare system is bad at providing basic care at scale, despite being the most expensive in the world. We have cutting edge treatment for the lucky, but 20% of people haven’t seen a doctor in over a year. There’s also the millions who kept doing the jobs that let others isolate at home & order bánh mì from the couch.

   We need serious change, starting with a Democratic Party that’s an unequivocal ally of organized labor & workers as a whole. But, organizing is actually hard work. Drawing cartoons & fantasizing about massive street protests bringing down the whole system is easy. Most people don’t have time for pseudo-Bolshevik nonsense & the “both parties are the same corrupt coin” messages just make them tune out on the entire political process.

   “Typical Fox news non-reply. Your comments read like a guy being paid to create content, with no regard for any truth.”

   Yes, when you actually pay attention to issues & can string together sentences to present a coherent thought, it makes your content look like the work of a professional.

   What non-reply? Rall has increasingly been devoting his work to the plight of middle aged white guys & I even gave a link to an example. You seem obsessed with me, so I assume I’ve hit a nerve.

    Again- directly in Rall’s own words:

    “Thanks to that most precious of revolutionary resources—populist anger—we can throw out all the rules and start from scratch. Sure, it will be hard and bloody and terrifying.”

    Rall doesn’t make his desire for overturning the system a secret here. Do you agree with this?

    “We can only be strong—and decentralized—if we reach out to anyone and everyone who is willing to take on the existing system. If racist skinheads in Idaho have guns and training and resolve, straight-edge anarchists punks from Brooklyn should be willing to cooperate with them.”

    Idk about you, but I can’t get behind a movement that sees the Proud Boys as potential allies.
