Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 17, 2020

It still goes “Ouch!” even now.

I’m sure someone will convince the rest that that’s the way it should be in a free country.

It’s a lottery.

Nope, that’s pretty much our system today. Nothing changes. :-)

That’s 12 scarab beetles for Og and 10 scarab beetles for Jan. Why do these scarab beetles keep moving. How am I supposed to keep my count straight.

Hey! No fair! The ramp is canted slightly to the right!!

Even back then people were excited about The Rolling Stones.

rock on…

Haven’t changed much.

Say, didn’t the Romans began democracy?

You gotta move, boy.

Catch 22: if you want to be president then you are unqualified to be president

Looks like a case where Rock beats both Scissors and Paper.

Caucus is an absolutely dumb way to select a candidate and it relies on intimidation making it much worse. The voting booth in privacy makes more sense.

I don’t know. It sort of seems like an improvement to me.

This ’toon could so easily be Neolithic Trump dealing with Neolithic, distinguished, long-serving federal employees who testify in the Neolithic Senate.

1 million years later and the bugs are still not fixed.

May he who is without a clue cast the first stone.

I cannot fathom why, as a country, we allow a bunch of corn-silk smoking farmers in Iowa, playing what amounts to a gigantic game of “Red Rover”, get to pick the candidates who the rest of the nation can chose from.

And the GeeOhPee has one candidate. Just like Vlad, Kim, MoBS, and their other heroes, Adolf, Benito, Mao, Franco, Sukarno, etc.

Funny how some candidates do well in caucus, but not so much in primaries. Guess it helps when your supporters can take the whole day off.

Vlad invented the poll system.

Nowadays, rocks are scarce, but manure is plentiful. Nobody better than Buttercup at that.

Have we changed any?

They intend(ed) to use the same app in Nevada next weekend

Looks like boulderdash to me! (I know I messed with the spelling – but it doesn’t matter to the poor souls under the rocks!)

No, current Iowa.

Later, they figured out this was really a taxation system, not a voting system.

Sorry; must expound on one of my pet peeves.It is named the DEMOCRAT Party; not democratic nor democracy party. Democratic and democracy are entirely different meaning words not synonymous to Democrat. Although this Democrat Party is not representative of my parents, grandparents and; yes, MY Democrat Party of years ago since Liberal Democrats were the “loyal opposition” who were just as patriotic and proud of their country as anyone else. Not so much, now. When I was young (ye young whippersnappers); Liberal was not a dirty word and was associated with traits like open-mindedness, tolerance, willing to change (for the better; not just to have change) and a willingness to engage in open debate about ideas. Conservative meant satisfaction with the status quo and tradition. Low key imposition on others lives and liberty; and since we are a pretty good Nation by what we have accomplished, we should not rock the boat too much. Keep radical upheavals to a minimum. But on both sides there always seemed to be a “bi-partisan” compromise that could lead to solutions of the most important problems. Both sides contributed our growth, maturity and correcting mistakes our forebears made.The Left has changed the dialog and even the meaning of words. “Words have meaning; and ideas have consequences.”

Des Moines circa 5000 BC

Here we see Wiley making well deserved fun of Democrats. It may not happen often but when Democrats deserve a kick in the pants, Wiley will offer it up. By the way, how many Mallard Fillmore or Gary Varvel cartoons have you seen poking fun at Republicans? I suspect that number for the two of them combined hovers awfully close to zero.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, shall I continue?

No apps to crash here, just boulders.

Bernie supporters getting stoned?

just wait till the brokered convention\

Caucus. I think it has turned into a caw-cuss, for I see a murder of crows descending to feed.

And it appears nothing much has changed with the caucusing system.

As far as caucuses go (is it cauci?), they do have an advantage over primaries: As presently constituted in many states now, you can vote in the other party’s primary. Even if it’s not the law in your state, you can probably still “declare” for the other party just to vote in its primary.

And the incentive this year is, with Trump the only one running in the Republican party, “or else,” as TexTech said above, why not go vote in the other party’s primary – just to screw it up!

They Have stopped the practice of persuading other voters to back Your Candidate by bashing people over the head and casting their votes for them while they recover from the Concussion.

Of course, the Parties insist that the concussionless caucus just takes longer because too may people refuse to change their minds until they go Deaf when faced with overwhelming Screaming.

Caucus is clearly derived by combining Kaka and Ruckus.

(Yes, I do know it’s not)

I went to a caucus once. ONCE!

That looks like a sport trump followers could embrace…

“Rock Catching” ..you could have 100, 200 even 300 kilo classes.

I love It! Oooh, “Celebrity Rock Catching” with guiliani, barr, stone all the favorites. The kids will love it. I gotta pitch this idea to Chuck Barris!

“Why democracy fails, candidates throw boulders at constituents hoping to hit the right ones.”
