Monday TOONs - I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own Show

I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own Show






































One Trumpy Summer
























Facepalm. This is where we’re at.

















Boris




























And why? Republicans!
Accept no "Congress" or "Washington" or "both sides". Only one side is causing this.

"That's not the way the world really works anymore." He continued "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—

, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

profiteers of some mashup of imperialism and libertarianism - throw in some religious fundies for crazies but mainly wing-dings for an unthinking mass of supporters.

Someone, somewhere is an evil chef stirring the pots of discontent.

Perception and talent. But what would my reaction be if I didn't know what was going on? I think I'd be scared to death at what's being suggested!
