She’s countering our truth-like lies with fake-sounding truth!
This is gold. I might have to steal it slightly.
Feels like a classic Simpson’s quip, author really nailed their comedy style.
Rueben Bolling’s comics are nearly always just as on-point as this. Well worth following.
I never realized until now why they use the “45” so much. Just move one of the black bars and it’s a fucking swastika… And Haitians are really a stand-in for black people.
The real problem is that we allowed the plutocrats to control both the news and social media and the government. Basically the US doesn’t have a free press any more but a quasi-government controlled oligarch media. As long as these neoliberal policies continue the degradation of institutions and politics continues.
Something drastic would need to happen to purge this incredibly power imbalance from the captured state. A kind of reformation or practically a coup.
The centre image is sheer magnificent genius.
Agreed, very well done.
Using 45 as a swastika is well done.
Nice touch that Trump has to keep notes of the complicated words.
That’s almost too real
Yikes
Don’t have a cow, man.
Put it all in don’t have a cow
Have a dog instead
Thanks for that. Love that man.
Not sure how this is a shitpost.
This is dead on. Tomthedancingbug, awesome again (as almost always).
Good at heart but easily twisted.
Shes countering our truth-like lies with fake-sounding truth! Get her!
Lmao
I could see that line actually being in the Simpsons.
A BIG STRONG GUY WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES ASKED FOR A BUCKET OF BLOOD!
explanation
description of this comic
Never occurred to me that Ned Flanders would have sheltered Anne Frank, but it tracks.
Flanders is a devout Christian, but one that actually follows the teachings so he takes the love thy neighbour part seriously.
But what if they are gay or worship other gods than us?

This is what I hate about religion. In concept it sounds great. A bunch of rules for how to live as a good person. Sounds great right?
Well the first rule of christianity is “Thou shalt not kill”.
And then you realize that the leading cause of murder on earth throughout all of history is…religious wars.
And it’s all downhill from there from a hyprcritical standpoint. Religion is used more as a tool to justify ones shitty behavior, rather than a guide to prevent it.
The only good christian I know of, is Ned Flanders, and he’s not a real person!
Fred Rogers was a great Christian.
Forgot he was christian. I always just thought of him as a great person.
Last I checked so is Weird Al Yankovic.
It’s a pity they’re so rare, but they really are.
Fred Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minister.
The first rule of Christianity is, “I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
There is no probation against killing in general in Christianity, only murder, which makes an appearance as the 5th commandment. Murder being unlawful and/or unjustified killing, so clearly wartime killing is a-okay in Christianity.
Now, you could argue that “love thy neighbor as thyself” might implicitly forbid killing, but if you start looking to Christianity for morality or even simple consistency you’re going to have a bad time.

Haven’t watched the simpsons in a while…did they do this?
checks notes
Oh. Well then. This may be a rare case where the simpsons DIDN’T do it. Real life did it first.
