Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for January 20, 2018

Hoo, boy! I can think of SO many topics that that applies to!

So no trolls in the crowd then?

The Emperor’s new clothes are fake news.

Problem is that those people really think he is wearing clothes.

So who is who? I’m sure someone will volunteer to enlighten us. I guess Mark is looking for crowd participation.

Great timing, the government has shut down at end of Trump’s first year.

I know it’s too late to ward off the political comment-storm that’s coming…but I’d like to point out that Parisi isn’t necessarily talking about American politics…

Louie xiv?

Nothing is the new black.

Demos put illegals ahead of American citizens……..figures. I will NEVER vote for another Democrat. They are spineless.

We never heard the term, ‘FAKE NEWS’ brandied about as an excuse for unflattering stories or as a convenient excuse for many failures, until we let Russian install a ’FAKE PRESIDENT.

Thus, making Trumpette the ‘emperor,’ in this cartoon.

The emperor’s hands are smaller than that.

There are none so blind as those who will not see. There are none so deaf as those who will not hear. There are none so ignorant as those who will not learn – fake news.

I’m glad someone else eluded to what a lot of us are thinking here! I refuse to comment on the grounds that I refuse to admit what’s really on my mind!! This is not a political forum….yet! But it could be, so I’ll just make my ambiguous way out!

Viewer participation: label the political party of each character in this cartoon. For bonus points guess the media source they turn to for news and information.

The truth is the truth, no matter who is accusing who.

You can’t negate the truth by saying, “But I accused you of it, first!”

This is not an update. This has always been true. Truth to power has always been dangerous.
