Small comfort: The cowardly assholes recognized the grotesque creature grabbing the kid is pedo Trump.

A slight edit to the pic. I understand that urban provocateurs take risks and often have small (and shrinking) windows for action.

not sure i get the satire, (or parody, if you will) here. still an excellent comic from the inimitable Dan Perkins aka ‘Tom Tomorrow’; though in this case, perhaps it should be ‘Tom Today’ @#$!

That’s the exact model for MSNBC. :cry:

That’s not satire. That’s just how it is.

I think it’s satirizing pretty much any corporate news outlet aside from Fox (though ANN does echo CNN). No matter how completely fascist the regime’s actions get, the talking coiffed heads will keep acting and talking like nothing’s especially wrong.

Okay, pedantry acknowledged.

The cartoon nonetheless works for me as an example of satire because it also contains the common element of exaggeration, e.g., none of the coiffed airheads on CNN actually use terms like deranged and incomprehensibly demented to describe Tramp and his minions. :person_shrugging:

Edited for grammar and such to avoid more pedantry. :grimacing:

Double-whammy! His alleged ‘bone spurs’ and Epstein in one panel.

The cartoon reminds me of the brilliant take on LBJ showing reporters his gall bladder operation scar, with Levine leveraging it to show a scar shaped like Vietnam.

Great catch, similar indeed, and equally effective.

And also, Tramp won’t release the Epstein files because they prove he’s a pedo. :wink:

Fingers still crossed that his current blitz of distractions does not work!
