   — Without Rep Crockett even, uhm, “batting an eyelash.”

   — A lot of it has to do with which order one reads and responds to the cartoons.

   And in many cases, cartoonists have posted their ’toons in other social media before coming here so one can have responses already prepared in advance, or have simply been involved in social media discussions earlier in the day, and copied and pasted (with minor adjustments to adapt to the specific ’toon) something that had been written earlier in an unrelated thread elsewhere.

   Also, I type with all ten fingers and, while I don’t use it, voice-to-text is now quite doable, too.

   — Yes, Rep Jasmine Crockett, having actual class and being a strategic lawyer, did not mention Marjorrhea Traitor Greed’s name. She strictly asked a “hypothetical” question about if a certain comment would “hypothetically” be in violation of the rules. Mentioning the name was implicit, not explicit. As you note, everyone understood exactly who she was referring to.

   The high chair obviously belongs with tantrum-toddler Trump and his childish, preschool name calling.

   So I guess, by the process of elimination, that Ramirez is suggesting that the wheelchair belongs to Biden. And sure, while Biden fell off a bicycle once while coming to a stop (got his foot caught in a stirrup-style pedal), the fact is that BIDEN RIDES BICYCLES and is in far better shape than the bloated, obese, cholesterol-clogged Trump. After Biden’s little bicycle mishap, Trump mockingly admitted that he would never go near one of those things, inadvertently acknowledging how much less fit he is.

   But a wheelchair? Disqualifying for a president? Seriously? I seem to remember a president who won four elections, guided a recovery from a Republican (Harding – Coolidge – Hoover) Great Depression, and won World War II — all from a wheelchair.

   I’d take the wheelchair over the high chair any day of the week, as inappropriate and inaccurate as the attempted (but failed) insult is.

   Former Texas state legislator now U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett, a civil rights attorney, is a frequent guest on commentary/analysis programs and is a brilliant, intelligent and articulate spokesperson on critical issues. Rep Crockett is a rising star and rapidly eclipsing Marjorrhea Traitor Greed, the Jewish Space Laser nutjob who was so worried about Muslims imposing Sangria Law or conservatives being arrested by the gazpacho police (served cold, of course).

   The irony is that after Marjorrhea Traitor Greed directly alleged that Jasmine Crockett uses false eyelashes (as if that would have the slightest relevance to anything), Rep Crockett objected as a violation of the House rules of decorum and asked that the comment be stricken. When the Republican committee chair refused, Crockett did NOT stoop to Marjorrhea’s level; she merely asked it as a rule clarification, “IF I were to described Marjorrhea as ‘bleach blonde bad-built butch body,’ would that violate the rules?”

   The ever tasteful, classy Rep Jasmine Crockett got her point across while strategically sticking (at least technically speaking) to the higher road, while the thuggish, brutish Marjorrhea Traitor Greed demonstrated clearly why the description “bleach blonde bad-built butch body” would actually be appropriate.

   Hope nobody tells Harrison Buttlicker that, when women play on professional men’s football teams, it’s his position they play.

   Maybe that’s why he is so insecure about his sexuality and feels so threatened by strong women instead of appreciating and benefitting from all they have to contribute.

   Men of QUALITY are not threatened by women of EQUALITY.

   — I think the book you are referring to is The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, in which twenty-seven respected psychiatrists, acting under their professional obligation of a “duty to warn,” examine the public statements and behavior of Donald Trump and deem him to be in severe mentally decline.

   A guy whose job is kicking a football thinks he is qualified to tell women who have just graduated college that their place is in the kitchen? Who is responsible for inviting this jerk to be a commencement speaker?

   Turns out, Harrison Butker (did spell check eliminate a few letters? Is it really Buttkicker’s) mother is a PHYSICIST. How sadly pathetic must it be for a pathetic, insecure little man-baby to be so threatened by his own mother’s record of professional achievement.

   What is the opposite of “Oedipus complex”? Incel?

   In contrast, Trump — promises made, promises broken:

   Trump only achieved death, destruction and devastation.

   Build a wall? Zippo.

   Infrastructure week — promised every week but nothing happened until Biden got it done.

   Bigger, better healthcare? Nuthin’ until Biden added more safeguards to Obamacare and lowered drug prices.

   Inflation? Fallout from Trump’s economic collapse brought inflation to almost 10%; Biden brought it down to 3% but the base Trump prices still cause financial hardship.

   Trump’s mishandling of the pandemic crashed the stock market (it has currently rebounded to more than double what it was when Biden took office), drove unemployment to almost 20% (Biden has now brought it down to under 4% for the longest stretch in more than 50 years) and broke the supply chain, driving up inflation (a lagging economic indicator that hit hardest after Trump left office) to over 9%.

   Biden has now brought inflation back down to almost 3%, but that does not erase the Trump price increases you are feeling. It slows the rate of growth, but does not undo the price gouging that Trump allowed to explode out of control. And, despite some setbacks in the courts and delays in implementing rule changes, Biden is the first president in decades to ramp up anti-trust enforcement aimed at price gouging, which is the real cause of current inflation as supply chain costs to wholesalers return to normal while consumer prices do not.

   What astounds me is that, while people are still feeling the pain of the Trump legacy, so many uninformed voters are so blind to the economic recovery currently in progress that they want to return to more of what caused this economic misery in the first place.

    The Biden side of the equation…

    Biden: promises made, expectations exceeded:

    A few of the Biden achievements:

    • More jobs created than any other president in just his first term

    • Lower drug prices

    • Wage growth exceeds inflation

    • Capping credit card late fees and other junk fees

    • Student loan forgiveness

    • Reduced annual budget deficit every year

    • Passed first bi-partisan gun legislation in thirty years

    • Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill

    • First African American woman on Supreme Court

    • Strengthened relations with NATO and other allies

    • Lowest prolonged unemployment below 4% in more than 50 years

    • Bringing inflation down from 9% caused by Trump’s supply chain interruptions, to 3% today, and always lower than other industrialized nations.

    • Record stock market highs (currently trading at more than double what it was on the last day Trump was in office)

    • Delivered BIPARTISAN BORDER BILL before Trump ordered it blocked and obstructed so he could keep his top wedge issue unsolved and run on a problem that exists solely because of Trump.

    And Biden achieved all of this despite unprecedented Republican obstruction and despite having literally the narrowest possible Senate majority (50-50 in his first two years) and a vice president who set the all-time record for most tie-breaking votes in all of U.S. history.
