The Latrobe Bulletin in Latrobe Pa (Mr. Roger's hometown) has decided, because of your cartoon making the local MAGA state representative Leslie Rossi (owner of the infamous Trump house) cry. A lot of the MAGA ARMY who saw it clawed their eyes out in rage, I've also read. A big thumbs up to you, man!

I'm just catching up on the controversy, thanks for the heads up.

Early in your blog I decided to let y'all know that my planned activity for Monday's inauguration is to go day drinking with like-minded friends. By the end of the blog, I was afraid you'd think I was lying. Nah, truth - easily fact checked by anyone in the bar...(they'd better not have TVs showing the inauguration - if you're watching for cartoon-drawing purposes, I'd prefer to see your interpretation). Stay warm and Go Chiefs!

Sounds like a solid Inauguration Day plan and the truth is I rarely watch those kinds of events live because cartoons will be based on what news they generated so I have to wait on that and about 110% of the time I can think of better ways to spend my time.

Well done. Thanks for exposing the cowardice and cravenness of the Latrobe Bulletin.

You know, Lee. I think watching Duck Soup instead of the thing on Monday, would be an excellent way to spend the time. I'm going to plan on that. "Hail Fredonia!"

Maybe a double feature with "Monkey Business."

Great plan that I might emulate.

Someone recently said, and I paraphrase, “Evil doesn’t negotiate, it absorbs.” (Someone needs to fact check that). Our problem is the “opposition party” which may or may not be the Democrats anymore, refuses to play by the same rules as the soon-to-be current “administration”, preferring to stick by the rule of law and not make waves, thinking that’s proof they’re not like those other guys. Basically it amounts to a lot of hand wringing and piercing stares with a few pithy comments nobody pays attention to. Unfortunately, all that results from that is republican mockery and disrespect for being fools, then they go ahead do whatever the hell they want anyway because they know there will not be any consequences and their bought and paid for media will smooth it over with the rubes (us).

The only way we’re going to become a law-abiding country again is if the opposition, assuming it actually exists and isn’t part of some elaborate good cop / bad cop hoax we’ve been living under for decades, is going to have to start breaking the rules too. Start making shit up and don’t back down. It does appear to work.

Or possibly use the constitution to prevent an insurrectionist from being sworn in, as it does kind-of specifically single that out as making someone ineligible.

Just a thought.
