MARY! How is it possible you can make me laugh ON A MONDAY, Woman? And . . . . .then make me frown! And then make me laugh again . . . and then make me snarl....and then make me hungry for Part Two....all in the space of ten minutes?

I want that Tote Bag!!!

Note to Mary. Please don’t waste any future mornings with Scarborough.

The hypocrisy of his question to you is not only 🙄worthy, but also 🤬worthy.

And it’s so Joe! 🤮

I sincerely appreciate you sharing your experience and insight. I hope to see you again soon on Rachel and Lawrence’s shows where you know you’ll engage in intelligent dialogue which we viewers will enjoy! 🙏 Safe travels …

Not to mention Scarborough gave Donald Trump millions in free advertising in the lead up to DT running for President.

I'll bet dollars to cookies that if you trace the lineage back far enough Judge Schroeder and Ricky Schroeder are similarly politically and ideologically aligned for specific reasons. This right-wing nonsense must be met with robust and probably militant responses. If conservatives think that progressives will just lay down and accept whatever agenda is being pushed they will push and push and push until society goes full-tilt backward through time. We'll wake up have the traitor General's one religion fascism fits all regime to contend with.

Yep agree and we’ve not only slid quite a ways back but have reached som uncharted depths of facism in the US.

Penfist, I agree. Once the Right crosses a line, our "Snowflakes" will go critical mass. Snowflakes will also have many allies across the world. These allies don't like our GOP, facism, or Magas

The main snowflakes I care about are the legislative, executive, judicial, and the command structure of the military. Extensive corruption to these already took place under the Donald's regime and must be undone or we are truly in trouble.

Just throwing this out here, but we could stop this slide toward fascism if we would stop buying things—other than the necessities. If we were United in this, by the tens of millions, the American oligarchs would call their lapdogs in Congress and order them to stop the insanity.

Just. Stop. Buying.

I wish I knew how to convince Americans to do that!

It's doable from abroad. Try to talk to big heads like we do in tuvalu-51.org !

Welcome to Amsterdam ! If you stay long enough in Europe please consider getting to Normandy once. There you can speak in person to the founding father of the 51st state of U.S.A. ;-) at least it will help you to avoid depresssion. Former pastry, I will do my best to enlight your stay.

In defense of Chia Pets, I do have to say they made great inexpensive gifts for those people in life that just don't merit real effort and yet one is still obligated to gift something to because, you know, society...

The cartoon is succinct and appropriate! The issue with Judge Schroeder can be summed up in the fact that his cell ring tone is a Donald campaign song! The shirt/tote bag is an excellent idea. Can’t wait for part 2.

The cartoon explains DJT, but where did all the stupid people come from? What explains them? Also, we have similar penmanship skills. lol

This would be hilarious if it weren't so damn true!

Love it. BTW you don’t need to use “allegedly” if you say the defendants “shot” the victims (despite what Kyle’s judge said). No one can dispute that -whether or not they were “murdered” they were shot by the defendants.

Now sure how else to contact you, but you have two factual errors in this otherwise wonderful piece. Jacob Blake (not Black) was not murdered but was seriously injured. Love your sense of humor, your art and how you express yourself.

Relax. Don't do things in haste. Enjoy your stay in Europe and mind to see the pastry who founded the 51st state ;-)

Mary, are you aware that Robert Trump's favorite politician - Dutchess County's exec & failed gubernatorial candidate, is now running to unseat the wonderful upstate NY Congressman Delgado in a tough seat?

Thank you for all your insights. I always look forward to your tweets and posts. There's a tiny typo: "fist" instead of "first."

Seeing others’ typos makes me feel more human. And sometimes superior.

I edit books for indie authors, so proofreading is something I do automatically. I like to let folks know when I spot an error so they can fix it. From the various readers' groups on social media, there are folks who "can't abide an error," as one of them put it. It's silly, of course, we all make mistakes. Editors are losing their jobs right and left, and I've seen an increase in errors on major news sites. I help out when I can :)

I’ve written for my job for over 30 years. I’m a grammar girl nut and cringe when I find a typo or grammatical error in something I wrote. But it happens. 😂

Expand full comment

I tend to over-notice typos but have been making an effort to relax. It’s not my job (I’m an artist so I guess I could offer to clean up that cartoon 😂) and as you said we all make mistakes.

LOL.

Oh, there you are! I find too many errors in books I download to my e-reader; often wondering where proofreading went! You myst be one of the few left.

Me too, Angela!

I noticed that too and inserted a typo into my comment on this post in hopes of honoring Mary's typo.

Gotta agree with the rogue Legos issue though. Donald is by far worse, of course.

Can't wait for that tote!
