Plus ça change — here’s a Pat Oliphant political cartoon from September 5, 1985. If the Democratic Party had any self-awareness or intelligence, the fact that Biden is using the same arguments as the Reagan administration would be cause for a primary challenge all by itself. But since the Democrats have been officially right of center since 1992, led consistently by people who admire Ronald Reagan and would elect him again in a heartbeat if he were alive and running for office, instead we get as close to no primaries at all as they can possibly manage.
Listen dipshit. I don’t care if you can’t afford groceries, I don’t care if your landlord priced you out of your own home, and I certainly don’t care that you can’t find a new job that pays enough to live - the economy is doing great. Literally all of the graphs say so.

Silence reigns supreme in my reich
No don (except me) doth trumpet within the aborted barren reach of freedoms within expansive realm, I annexed courtesy manifest destiny, which peoples now inhabiting said jurisdiction circumscribed by following coordinates - Latitude: 40° 16' 22.20" N Longitude: -75° 29' 29.39" W and for better or worse
must abide by decrees promulgation declared today May 21st, 2024, whence Poet of Perkiomen Valley issues proclamation, regarding any living person paying blind obedience lest posse comitatus act enforced otherwise Herr Harris will bring to fore active duty personnel
to "execute the laws"; however, there be disagreement over whether this language may apply to troops used in an advisory, support, disaster response, or other homeland defense role, as opposed to domestic law enforcement to challenge aforesaid claims which forthwith ownership of said territory
foremost allows, enables and provides yours truly to enact legislation, and especially restitution of comstock act predicated upon due diligence guaranteeing appropriation of all and every rights affecting master and slave
linkedin within said domain. Welcome to the dictatorship (er rather presidency)
of Putin diehard adherent.
Matter of fact, a favorite author of mine crafted the following words of inspiration,
which evocation will help shed figurative light on caricatures of terror reign as forty fifth president targeted by political cartoonists, but struggled to come up with an image that sticks. In october 2016, Vanity Fair
made a video of four of its cartoonists—
Edward Sorel, Steve Brodner,
Philip Burke, and Robert Risko—
drawing Donald Trump.
They clearly enjoyed themselves,
exploring every aspect of his physique:
his “girth,” the fact that
“there’s so much of him” (Burke);
the hair that “essentially closely a beret
flipped forward on his head” (Risko);
the eyes that show “greed, disdain” (Burke);
the “marvelously rat like” nose (Brodner);
the mouth a “sphincter muscle” (Risko);
the “sleazy” look (Sorel);
the facial features that resemble
“piss holes in the snow” (Brodner). And now? How have artists and cartoonists
dealt with Trump since he became president?
We’ve seen cartoons of the orange
potus smooching Vladimir Putin
and groping the Statue of Liberty.
We’ve seen him drawn (by Barry Blitt
in The New Yorker) as a fat-assed golfer
driving balls into the White House.
We’ve seen him caricatured (by Pat Oliphant
for The Nib) as a preening SS officer
being heiled by Steve Bannon.
We’ve seen him portrayed
(by Signe Wilkinson of the Philadelphia
Daily News) linking arms
with a Confederate and a Nazi.
We’ve seen him depicted
(by Mike Luckovich of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
as Jabba the Hutt, holding Lady Liberty in chains. We’ve seen him represented (by Matt Wuerker in Politico) as a kook in a straitjacket. We’ve seen him rendered (by Ann Telnaes of The Washington Post) as a red-faced fathead sitting on the toilet while he plots to pull out of the Paris climate accord.
Putin (also fell prey
to his fair share of cartoonists) not only as Vlad the Impaler reincarnate (a notion in mind of at least one writer), but also various and sundry other manifestations.
The self styled ruthless thug classified as a voivode (prince) of Wallachia (part of modern Romania).
Surrounded by enemies that included the Hungarians, the Ottomans, his younger brother, and Walachian nobility, Vlad employed extremely cruel gruesome measures to inspire fear in those who opposed him.
He earned his nickname by impaling his enemies on stakes.
No argument Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin equals and invariably will outrank Vlad the Impaler the second son of Vlad Dracul who became ruler of Wallachia in 1436.
Impossible mission to comprehend propensity exhibiting characteristics linkedin as impish, hellish, ghoulish... fiend whereby pathological pretensions besotted (punch drunk with delight) to incinerate, eradicate, annihilate, essentially to deplorably, heinously, loathingly... interblend all manner of atrocious, deleterious, insidious, opprobrious, vicious... lend ding his own vainglorious trademark to offend
Homo sapiens who strive toward repairing ruptures versus to rend usurpation of life, liberty and continuity of civilization to upend.
Worst nightmare scenario unfolding before our collective eyes Ukraine suffers blitzkrieg Russian soldiers devastatingly carpet bomb major metropolitan areas civilian population suffers major loss of innocent lives linkedin with accompanied psychological fallout, especially affecting babies, children and youth.
All commands issued by autocratic monster probably housed within secure bunker, meanwhile countless thousands or millions of battle fatigued people hunker among ruins gingerly negotiating their way thru rubble analogous to spelunker.
Though yours truly removed (think physically), where chaos and pandemonium run amuck and terror unruly, overt rampant upheaval plagues long established generations of Slavic peoples, this commonplace American experiences vicarious grief, when tragedy viewed online and/or television heart wrenching images also evoke anger being linkedin to most abominable, horrible, reprehensible, creatures that roamed the terrestrial firm
since time immemorial.
Major war crimes against humanity necessitate urgent punishment, if in fact such a global entity exists to condemn and convict the incontestable tyrant, yet never in the annals of twenty first century geopolitical webbed zeitgeist
did self anointed sovereign
access nuclear weapons
to obliterate fellow Earthlings.

One of my favorite things to look for in the work of Pat Oliphant is the way he can suggest ornate detail with just some educated scribbles. Look at this throne. I love his work so much.

Wait, so Rose IS aware of other cartoonists and has some working knowledge of the medium itself?
Then what’s his fucking excuse?

2019 in Book Recommendations
December Book Recommendation
The Sisters of the Winter Wood, by Rena Rossner
Raised in a small village surrounded by vast forests, Liba and Laya have lived a peaceful sheltered life - even if they've heard of troubling times for Jews elsewhere. When their parents travel to visit their dying grandfather, the sisters are left behind in their home in the woods. But before they leave, Liba discovers the secret that their Tati can transform into a bear, and their Mami into a swan. Perhaps, Liba realizes, the old fairy tales are true. She must guard this secret carefully, even from her beloved sister. Soon a troupe of mysterious men appear in town and Laya falls under their spell-despite their mother's warning to be wary of strangers. And these are not the only dangers lurking in the woods... The sisters will need each other if they are to become the women they need to be - and save their people from the dark forces that draw closer.
modern-typewriter says: So...magical realism and fairytale elements are my jam. This was a great story, about culture and expectation, and a girl who would do anything for her family. I just loved the concept and the delivery! It was great!
If you liked this try/you might like this if you liked: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, fairytales in general, Jewish influences in fiction...
