A fine political commentary for its time.

Haven’t seen our pet buffoon around here lately. Did he get tired of “winning”? See too much of himself in Matt Bors’ “hashtag welldone” strip? Trumpgrets finally set in? Realize that Obamacare and ACA are the same thing?
I only ask because I’m curious if his response to this strip would be to defend Li’l Dubbie and Darth Cheney, or pretend they were some liberal plot cooked up by Democrats.

I’ve always been against the entire concept of selling short. It can’t possibly be considered “investing” in any honest use of the term. If people expect (or want) certain stocks to go down, let ’em bet on some kind of side deal without actually entering the stock market itself!
