maybe add "The Confessions of an In-flight Missile Mechanic"
and "Win a Session with Bad-Boy Donny in the Mara Lago Situation Room for Cake and Diplomacy!"
for the next issue.

when a cartoon like this can be written? And accurately reflects what BW said?

His utterances are a disgusting display of the depths to which the American corporate media has sunk.

Too many media whores are bought-and-paid-for warmongers and lickspittle toadies to the Military-Congressional-Industrial complex.

What to do when you get so sick of winning it makes your head spin.

I watched a few minutes of his show last night, but it was all about oh Drumpf couldn't possibly have been involved with Russia, why he's saying not nice things about them right now! (think of someone having the vapors). Is he a total simpleton, or just another cheerleader for war, regardless of cause or impact. He totally ignores that the missile strikes were fake, did nothing to hurt Syria or Russia or even destroy the chemical weapons or runways. Also, Russia was told 4 hours ahead of time about this and Syria moved out all important equipment ahead of time. This was totally fake and planned in advance by Drumpf and Putin to dial down the collusion talk and make it so they have "bury the hatchet" and get the sanctions removed. That's 1 of 2 main reasons for this, creating the conditions where Repugs have an excuse to go along with removing sanctions and cooling down the effort to uncover proof of Drumpf being a traitor.

He has yet to get anything right since his "grand" return. They have handed panel discussions over to him and taken them from Rachel, really bad move, I keep waiting for him to get it right. I won't hold my breath.

n2doc......You're a genius. I love you.

Any cretin who praises the dropping of a bomb, launching of a missile, or a call to battle clearly has no goddamned idea what the earth looks like where these things land. I remember shock and awe, and how this country cheered the igniting of Baghdad like it was some kind of fireworks display. And the media wore pom poms on that night. Just like BriWi drooling over the launching of missiles. You need to possess a juvenile, under-developed sense of reality to actually, and worse - publicly cheer these things.

Mother of All Bombs - only kills bad guys - children miraculously spared!

Cut to TV commercial about nice oil company doing good things for the environment

And now a story about the prince of peace.

Cut to commercials for dick pills and plastic surgery

And now a story about how we're a force for good in the world and XXXX is truly evil.


What in the hell did the people of Iraq ever do to the people of the United States?

But I find him exhausting. He seems to operate under the philosophy that every nanosecond of his show must be filled with his words.

He's also been MMQ'ng Obama right and left lately. GFY, Bry.

Brian Williams' voice saying things Brian Williams says. Those things are uniquely profound to Brian Williams. And that's plenty good for Brian Williams.
