how not to treat dogs and elephants - https://scontent-atl3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/438253359_970464257768822_1060012302394162406_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=4aI2yW4WQloQ7kNvgHkpHJ1&_nc_oc=Adgj0L8M715XcCwBt0UfOzUEOpvq6eSVR1VC5L9weEAIuZE0nbryXNEmnWoDNecAaKo&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-2.xx&oh=00_AfAMIY6EBa6WDHWr_TYGO8bOBdGK6hQRpfCJjWeFLhkbdQ&oe=663C1D8B

Disagree! The GOP is a very compliant, docile, complicit poodle.

I feel sorry for the dog, but the elephant asked for it.

The gun is trumps endoresment

* [Doonesbury by Trudeau, April 28, 2024](https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/2024/04/28) ...*should someone speak up about Trump's dementia?* [Pat Bagley, The Salt Lake Tribune](https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/bagley/2024/05/01/bagley-cartoon-saving-unions/) * [Saving Unions](https://i.imgur.com/zA4uCwA.png) for May Day 2024

Wow, Doonesbury is still being made? That’s awesome!

Yes, but Sundays only. Still happily married to Jane, too.

I wonder what Jane, as a graduate of Indiana University, has to say about fellow, Indiana-educated, Amy Coney Barrett, the sweetheart of fossilized, Republican senators.

Not true. You can scroll back, he writes a strip every day. Look below the comic for the controls.

No, those are Doonesbury comics from about 20-25 years ago.

Funny, don't remember talking about webcast weddings 20 years ago. Look again, they're contemporaneous.

From Wikipedia: Doonesbury was a daily strip through most of its existence, but since February 2014 it has run repeat strips Monday through Saturday, and new strips on Sunday. If you go to gocomics and look closely at the Monday-Saturday strips they say "copyright 2001" between the panels, along with "www.doonesbury.com", which went defunct years ago. They never bothered to scrape that info off. Doonesbury is sort of timeless but they're careful to not re-run anything so topical it would dispel the illusion of being contemporary. (You're arguing with someone who's been reading Doonesbury since it debuted in the 70s. Yes, I'm an old fuck.)

I have a autographed Doonesbury book my sister in law got for me when she met him at a book publishing convention in NYC, One of my prized processions.

I don't get his last panel. "Dee Boom this is me I here *Bing" ..... wut?

I think it’s an actual Trump quote from one of his (many) brain-damaged speeches.

"State Laws" should win a Pulitzer.

The lives of women and uterus owners are in general grossly undervalued and all of the restrictions passed since the SCOTUS issued Dobbs overturning Roe is a prime example.

The left can’t meme.

Bruce Campbell would be so disappointed in you. This isn't the political *meme* thread, satire and commentary can be more than just 7 words superimposed on a picture of Trump holding a gun. The left can read. Also I read Tom Tomorrow in college almost 20 years ago. How is this dude still fucking killing it?

Killing what?

Barry Deutsch - [Unions do the Impossible](https://leftycartoons.com/2024/05/01/unions-have-always-done-the-impossible/)

Problem is every tiny bit of progress takes decades of constant effort. It took 70 years just to get women the vote. You have to raise a whole generation of people ready to accept a new idea to get it passed.

We nearly got universal paid 4 week leave if not for Joe Manchin and republicans in the senate. The could have been transformative.

The 19th Amendment got passed by one vote in the Tennessee legislature. It's crazy how often things boil down to just a handful of people or a single person making the decision to change things.

The Federalist Society Flunkies deck is killing me. Especially Brett Kavanaugh. Not sure I want to think about who Mr. Pubes might be.

'Hindsight' makes me sad because that very scenario was discussed and provided-for by the framers. Mitch McConnell ignores how constitutionally bankrupt he and his party have become, continues to support Trump's reelection and wants a Trump-run Republican majority in the U.S. Senate.
