  • Yes and no. That’s a much harder thing to argue in reality. I’m an atheist so I’m pretty anti-religion, but the reality is that all parents want to teach their child at least some of their worldview. If that worldview includes religion, who are we to say “no, you can’t teach that”? The child can always change their mind when they’re older and in theory there’s no harm. But a child can’t decide to get their foreskin back. (I know there is a surgery to try to add some back, but it’s just aesthetic, the nerves will never be recovered.)

    No, no they didn’t. I’ve been through a number Republican presidents… Well 3 others … And not one of them was said to be a threat to democracy, not one of them was said to be a threat to the rule of law, and not one of them was it questioned whether they would leave office if they lost election.

    It is a bullshit statement to say Trump is a standard Republican and what Democrats are saying is just hyperbole, and this is what they always say. The only way you can possibly think this is if you’ve only been exposed to Trump presidencies.





  • I hope this is satire. If it’s real I feel sorry for the guy. To be sold a vision of what’s cool and to spend a ton of money on it, and then to be made fun of is quite painful. I can understand that and have empathy for the guy, even if Musk is a piece of dog shit and I’m rooting for Tesla to crash and burn.


  • This is just Trump and the Central Park 5 all over again. They’re guilty because Trump feels they’re guilty. The fact they’re not actually guilty doesn’t matter.

    If you’re against authoritarianism, you should demand a trial and not just some schmuck politician labeling you a criminal being enough to send you to your death in some foreign prison.

    The fact that there’s not a uproar from the don’t tread on me crowds just reinforces the idea that they don’t see these people as like them. If this was some redneck that was randomly pointed at and said he’s a criminal and then deported to a foreign prison they would be upset. The fact that there aren’t just shows you that they see these guys as “the other”. And why do they see him as the other? That’s the question this cartoon is trying to answer…
