Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for June 24, 2021

This cartoon shows why Putin is idolized by Trump and all Trump Disciples:

A triumphant combination of homophobia, cruelty toward children, massive corruption, and LYING.

Good shooting, Ruben Bolling.

replace Putin with Victor Orban and this comic is suddenly very topical.

Reminds me of that classic “Mo’ Sochi Mo’ Problems:” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp5rXHYpgSg

Sadly, “we have mass corruption and very s___ construction” hasn’t aged well on OUR end.

Whether it’s alt-right freaks or psycho Russian leaders, you can always count on these losers to “confuse” pedophilia and non-cis gender heteronormativity. I put that word in quotations cuz at least some of them know that they’re lying.

I wish we could all say this is just a Russian thing, but lots of us live in countries with staggering wealth inequality. Here in the US we have more billionaires that ever, paying next to nothing into the system their business’ depend on, while millions of us “workers” struggle to get by. The richest nation in the history of forever still has hungry children and wealthy politicians trying to squeeze even more out of them.

I remember them only showing the final scores from Ice Dancing and Figure Skating.

The very least.

Ah, the “vampire theory” of homosexuality is alive and well (despite having no support in fact—but then, that is true of so many things that “conservatives” believe).

Putin is a sort of “perfect storm” of political attributes and personal malice.

This cartoon is totally inaccurate.

In the lower left panel, the guy would have been giving most of that to Putin.

I figure, of the $50B the games “cost”, Putin got $35B.

We must, please, also not mention doping.
