Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 08, 2016

Not “politics”, just social awareness, well for some folks.

Trump is likely to win unless the left pulls out all the stops and literally steals the election. Trump is not an ideal candidate, but with the Clinton Mafia claiming yet another life (John Ashe), he is the lesser of two evils.

If the Clintons were Sicilian, with the body count around them and the miraculous deaths of so many who could testify against them, they’d already be under a RICO indictment.

Hoo boy, this is going to be an interesting Friday.

What a hateful cartoon. Miller should be ashamed of himself. He better run one tomorrow about Clinton and the email scandal to be even handed or just give up political humor altogether. One sided politics is so boring and shows a lack of imagination.

Did you just say the “Blacks”? So you are going to tarnish a whole race of people, that is if they are even people in your twisted deluded mind over what someone or some other people did in Dallas? You are no better than the hooded figure in the cartoon. Actually you are worse by far.

Non Sequitur weaves all over the place. Sometimes it is funny, sometimes it is moving and/or cute and then, sometimes, it is just downright political. On days like this, I wish I had stayed away.

@BlueJayRobin – Yup, and he probably despises himself too.

I stopped looking at the “editorial” cartoons on GC because of tripe like this.As Clayton Loveland said Mr. ought to Mr. Miller ought to use his “satire” on Ms. Clinton, but he won’t. Wait, perhaps he already does. Danae is a mini-Hillary.

Now do the flip side about how Clinton can commit any crime and get away with it as “carelessness”.

This is highly inappropriate after last night’s events in Dallas. Your anti-Trump smear campaign isn’t funny any more.

That is untrue. They started planning the Iraq war in Bush’s first cabinet meeting, months before 9/11. Or at least they atsrted talking about where there was a record of it then; their whole “New American Century” conquor-the-world madness was alrwady in place by then.

Besides, the KKK is an arm of the Democrat party.

Screw your politics, and screw you!

But the Democrats started the KKK.

your comment would be right on point.if Cheney or Rumsfeld were a few months away from being elected president.but feel free to go back to your 15 year old talking points.

…sigh…and I was having such fun with my morning comics…until this. I don’t know if its the pandering of the panelist or mewlings of the masses. But this strip is no fun anymore.

Time to delete the bookmark.

Actually, you’re only half right. The other reason for all those problems are the Democrats. The best thing we could do for America would be to wipe out 90% of all Federal laws, rules, regulations, policies, executive orders, etc. and kill off every member of Congress, all political appointees (including Cabinet members), the P & VP, and retire all the Supremes.

Sure, they’d all be replaced with other corrupt people; but the cycle of institutionalized corruption would be disrupted and give us some breathing space.

If it comes to a choice between a proven liar, total incompetence, and corrupt finances, and someone with a loud mouth and out of control ego, I’ll vote for the mouth and ego.

Jill better return next week.

Couldn’t possibly compare to the Cheney/Bush body count.

No one will date you huh?

I like the cut of your jib suh.

Hey, Miller…news flash…the Democrat Party is the party of the KKK…..Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) was a proud member of the KKK while serving in the US Senate…

I heard the neocons, Pearle, Rumsfeld, etc, on NPR in 1997 talking about attacking Iraq for the oil and possible profit……..They said it would be a cake walk….They were just waiting for their chance…Bush got elected, the Twin Towers went down, and their first thought was “Here’s our chance to invade Iraq”. 5000 of Americans dead for no reason…..

Wow. There are a few of you on here who seriously need to get back on your meds.

Thank you Wiley for today’s strip.The comments are hysterically insane from the wing-nuts.

Please, all of those claiming the Clintons are a crime family and have people whacked, go back on your meds.

Gotta love the absolutely lunacy of liberals.

Sad that ignorance and hate has a following.

Remind me again when Liberals and/or democrats were EVER ashamed of their Grand Wizard Senator Byrd? Racists of any sort hands down win the dumbest people on Earth award – but you don’t have to try to give them a run for their money!

Maybe it’s just me but judging by a lot of the negative comments they’re most definitely is a lot of pent up rage & hate. It seems to have gotten worse with Trump in the news non stop. When he said make America great again he actually meant to say hate. There’s no shortage of that with mass shootings everywhere now on a daily basis

Maybe it’s just me, but when the difference between someone who DOES CARE ABOUT EQUALITY and a BS BULLY who just uses it as a CLUB is that the person who really cares doesn’t accept hate speech from their own side either – like when White Democrat Congressmen call Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom, or Asian Actors call him a clown in black face, or when entire MSNBC panels sing a song mocking Mitt Romney’s adopted black grandson. How is your tolerance of hate and disrespect any different?

What have you been smoking?

Most Republicans are not racists but most racists are Republicans. The major parties are coalitions of disparate interests rather than some monolithic interest bloc and both of them contain some extremist elements.

Where did your stats come from that most racists are Republicans? That plays well to the stereotypes adhered to by major media.

Sad to see a comic that was sometimes funny, stoop so low.

A minor correction. I still have the article from the liberal rag, The Wall Street Journal, that says Mr Bush (No 43) told his defense department transition team (i.e. before he was even in office) to start drawing up war plans for Iraq. Bush was going to war in Iraq come hell or high water. He just had to find a way to sell it to the American people. Sadly, he found and sold the lies that we gladly bought at the price of thousands of American lives and tens of thousands of Iraqi lives.

The sheet really hit the fan this time.

I signed up just to tell Wiley that I am a long time reader of this strip, but no more. Not today. Today’s strip is hateful and divisive, and it comes out on a day when blood still flows in the streets of Dallas, when we need less hate, less division. I have five comics I click on daily basis, every morning. Now I have four. No more clicks from me. I have no use for hate masquerading as humor.

Anybody around here got any more popcorn? I’ve eaten all of mine while watching this exciting action picture today.

Hey Dogsniff, does your Mistress let you off your leash every so often?

It’s time to investigate and do away with ALL political parties. There is not one iota of difference between any of them except in the way they try to spin their agendas. They are all run by career politicians with agendas that have nothing to do with you or me.

Anybody want to vote for the Libertarians?

The comments this morning sadly reflect the significant divisions in our country that have fueled a vitriol and anger in our dialogue that will be hard to resolve. Our collective lack of respect for opposing views has resulted in an inability to effectively filter our discourse, and prevent any semblance of civility. This is a bigger question than issues with our current political candidates. Come on people – this country belongs to all of us. How we resolve our differences is the only way it works. It’s our choice.

I guess Wiley never studied history. After all, the KKK was a support group for the Democrats. There’s a nice picture out there of Hillary hugging one time KKK Kleagle Senator Robert Byrd. But then I’m noticing history never applies to liberals.

Yeah, I’d rather have a lying, deceitful Clinton in the White House, too (not).

After what the blacks did? Is there anyone that thinks that a majority of blacks want innocent polcemen killed?

That, is pure BS. Blacks in this country abhor violence. There are always some people in any group that want to make a statement, but they speak for themselves and a very small minority of their group.

Hey, you want to live in a violent country, don’t be surprised when the easily-available violence is used against the power structure, not just the weak.

Trump is NOT a neo-Nazi, for the love of Crisco Sweet Cornflakes! He is a neo-FASCIST!

Can’t wait for your “I’m with the liar” cartoon.

Are you enjoying your kool-aid?

LOL

Wiley,

All of us on the Right have ALWAYS recognized that Trump is a severely flawed candidate who says some pretty stupid and outlandish things.

HOWEVER, he is not a “racist”, whatever that is now defined as these days by the Left.

You and the creator of Lio have joined the ranks of cartoonists on the Left, aka the “Doonesbury Brigade” who spew Leftist hate and ignorance.

PS: Sorry if I just hit you with a “microaggression” by calling you a Leftist.

You’re a pig.

Very nice, now let’s see one about Hillary selling our uranium mines to the Russians.

Hey Cartoon Character Ed, get back in the closet where you belong!

I agree with Nagmashdriver. People, we have too many racists and hate mongers in our country. We call ourselves Christens. We call ourselves good people. Then we go on shooting rampages and rail against someone who may be different from us. and numerous others things we can do to anyone we don’t like. Wonder what our Lord is thinking now!

It isn’t the colour of a person’s skin or where they were born……. it’s the person within who decides to be “nice or nasty”.

Awwww Mommydillo all upset that she has to see someone’s dissenting opinion in her favorite cartoon blog. Sorry to have reality burst into your Jillian Fantasy Land.

I sure hope you’re right. This third party movement has me worried.

Political opinion is one thing, but this presents it as fact, which is completely wrong and insults half the population of the USA. Not appropriate for the comics page with impressionable young people reading it. Borderline appropriate even for a political page.

I can’t believe it ! I just read through everyone of the 100+ comments and apparently Nobody Got the Joke !Very funny, Wiley.Funnier that everyone got wrapped up in their political polemics and missed your point – which, folks, transcended Trump.

So, if a white person does the shooting, remember Roof? killed 9 Blacks in a church? its only that 1 white, no others involved, but if-god forbid-a totally angry black man shoots up cops, why that is the fault of all blacks everywhere. IMPO, even if every registered GOP votes-23% of registered voters(according to PEW Research) and only say 90% of registered Democrats vote, the Democrats still win. It all in the numbers baby.

The racists in the Democratic party ALL LEFT AND BECAME REPUBLICANS, when the democratic party started treating “The Blacks” as if they were actually human Americans…Racists really don’t like that kind of an idea….The Racists decided to go, they became republicans, and destroyed a once noble political party…

Vote for Romney! ツ

The truth is always scary!!!!

“After what the blacks pulled”…“The blacks”?Which blacks? The ones who held the peaceful protest? Or the one crazy guy with the gun?Of course, blaming a whole race or religion or country is kinda what Trump does, so I’m not surprised.But tell me – did you take off your pointy hat before typing this, or can you really see out of those eyeholes?

Keeping in mind that Saddam Hussein committed well over 100,000 murders, and keeping in mind that he sponsored terrorists, and keeping in mind that Trump recently praised him (and has done it in the past), let’s hear a word from conservative pundit Michael Gershon:The Republican candidate is one of the few politicians in the United States capable of making Hillary Clinton appear sympathetic on the worst day of her campaign. Donald Trump — again falling off the teleprompter wagon — accused the attorney general of bribery, obsessively defended an anti-Semitic meme and praised Saddam Hussein for being “really good at killing terrorists.” On the evidence of Halabja, Hussein was also really good at killing women and children with mustard gas, sarin, tabun and VX. “Saddam Hussein throws a little gas,” Trump mocked in December, “everyone goes crazy, ‘Oh, he’s using gas!’ ”

Just to be clear: Any leader who makes light of the largest chemical weapons attack on civilians in history — which, among other horrors, sent children into convulsions and respiratory failure — has a moral screw loose, a sickness of the soul. Paul Ryan and Reince Priebus, meet the man you have endorsed.

Brilliant comic strip today. But gotta love the bigoted comments the Trump trolls are posting here. “After what the blacks pulled in Dallas last night Trump is a sure bet to win.” One person’s action attributed to an entire race. Good gads.

This cartoon is the kind of hate speech that causes things like Dallas. Your talents lack when it comes to social harmony and you should not be paid for your hate.

and the Dems fixed everything when they controlled Congress & the WH?? both parties are corrupt and play us as fools. They turn us on each other to enhance their power.

I was hoping for Carson but will settle for Trump simply because both parties are afraid of him. they don’t want an outsider, they want someone they can control.

Totally distasteful, whether you support Trump or Hiliary. Another great example of why strips should be on the comics page or the editorial page, but never both or occasional trips across the line from one to the other. Yeah, I’m a purist. We can talk politics elsewhere. If not, Miller, keep it up and you have one less reader on the slow road to comic strip history, whether you like it or not.

I’m sure you’ll be sorely missed. lol (Not really.)

I laughed at loud at this one. Keep it up, Wiley!

Might want to quit sniffing whatever it is. Don’t like either candidate, but I’ll take a successful business man over a lying, elitist, chinese/russian sellout any day. Trump is NOT a National Socialist. The Socialist here is The Hildabeast and her lock-step Dhimmocrap party. Can you say gun-control? Can you say CONFISCATION???

Daily KOS?? Really? Communist much, are we??

Exactly what I would expect from Miller. Better stick to Danae & her pony.

L O V E … I T

“Crow Nobo” proves there are crazies at both ends of the spectrum.

Congress is controlled by the gop-t-party, so any investigation by them would be skewed, like all the rest of their “investigations.” However, a lot of journalists and watchdog groups have investigated how and why the gop is so useless to most Americans. They have found that the gop has been bought by the koch brothers, and the kochs have created a huge propaganda apparatus that exists only to directly influence our government. They control ALEC, the group that writes laws for the legislators to enact. They support the nra, and most of the fake patriot/fake Christian organizations. The gop dirty trickster, karl rove, runs American Crossroads, one of their allegedly “grassroots” superpacs. The kochs helped form the t-party, along with big tobacco to fight anti-smoking laws. This chart will show just how big the koch propaganda machine is:https://prezi.com/5xzibopikc3a/ifgs-kochtopus-mapping-the-influence-of-koch-cash/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy

Lord, what a bunch of whining little rugrats some people turn into when they are confronted with a satire of something LITERALLY factual. For whatever reason, it appears to be okie-dokie with too many of you that Trump is, indeed, supported by millions of white supremacists, including the former head of the KKK himself. You believe this is not significant? You are of the opinion that this is perfectly acceptable?It is quite revealing, and what it reveals about you all is toxic.
