If you found your way here to read this post congratulations, because Facebook wouldn't let me post it and sent me an email saying it promoted suicide and self-harm which I don't get unless you're a Conservative Republican who realizes you've been wrong about almost everything and I'm going to keep drawing cartoons critical of Donald Trump..

Facebook did not say what I did to set off their warning bells and there was no way to respond and ask so if any of you can figure out WTF the problem is let me know and I promise to never do it again...maybe.

We'll see.

Wow, I was going to share this on my Facebook (timeline or wall, whatever they call it these days), because I liked it, laughed and wanted to entertain some of my friends (and maybe annoy others...), but I won't risk it now.

Great piece, Lee! I’m sorry you have to keep defending/explaining yourself, because, as you stated, you already have. You’ve made it abundantly clear from the beginning that you were liberal. I’m not, but I thoroughly enjoy your witty writing and seeing things from another perspective. Thanks, and keep it up!

I appreciate the reasonableness.

The issue isn't balance. It's fairness. It's being accurate. Maybe exaggerating accurracy. But

still not "promoting a lie." Right now, the GOP is better at providing fodder for satire.

I thought this was an outstanding piece, Lee. I found myself laughing and shaking my head in agreement through pretty much the whole thing. I learned a few years ago it is not worth the time to debate folks on Facebook or any other platform (and often face to face). A friend had posted a political comment which just made no sense. I thoughtfully and painstakingly crafted a reply, complete with facts and sources. His response? Basically, I don't believe that. No reasoning, no facts, just yeah I think that's BS. I have rarely gotten into an exchange with anyone since then, as I realized I wouldn't change anyone's mind anyway. Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks, Clark. I've learned to say this is what I think and if you disagree it's OK and maybe we can find some area that doesn't cause conflict.
