Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 02, 2024

Yes, I remember when “Unvarnished Political Advice” might get you in trouble. Ah, the old days…

They didn’t have BleachBit® back then…

Delete? HAH! It could still be dug up by someone well-versed in hacking! See you in prison, you fat capitalist pig!!

They missed the boat, the point, and the joke.

Duke will keep a copy of everything for future extortion.

And don’t forget to dump the recycle bin when you’re finished. Shredding it is even better, if there’s a shredder on your desktop.

Cheney,hu ? The guy who has now announced he is voting for Harris.How bad does the Republican Nominee have to be for that to happen ?

Chaney USED to be the villain in those days, in between coronaries

Endorsements from long-standing, esteemed Republicans for Harris do not necessarily indicate agreement with her policies. These endorsements are strategic, aimed at safeguarding the future of their party. They view her potential presidency as less detrimental to the country and the Republican Party than Trump’s, which they believe could usher in a dictatorship. They refer to Project 2025 in their rationale and hope to regain control in 2028 if democratic processes remain intact, allowing for a post-Trump reconstruction..Omitting the Watergate incident, we had a reasonably functional, reasonably respectable Republican party until Dick Cheney and Rumsfield hit on the gold mine of incompetence represented by the Bush family and mined it to mess up the country. I didn’t agree with a lot of conservative ideas, but they had some validity and I could buy some of them and understand why some people bought all of them. For the most part they were based on facts, not on Rush Limbaugh and Faux news.I wonder if there are enough Republicans left with the dignity, intelligence and integrity to form a real conservative party to run against the one that is controlled by a criminal who has no actual commitment to any ideals other than his own benefit. I really hope so. If we don’t have a genuine conservative party, I don’t see what will keep the country from going off the rails to the left.

I figured Duke was floating upside down because he always is, not because he was suspended by anything, at least not anything natural ! ;-)

why not just delete the whole hard drive?

How can you be sure Duke isn’t making copy on a floppy disk for his personal blackmail file?

Duke is (so far) more competent than usual (also unusually sober).

only works if you’re using (at least) the milspec 3 pass “file shredder” program. all Delete does is erase the file name/address. the info’s still there.
