Sunday Cartoons: Getting Emotional

Posted: August 9, 2026 | Author: | Filed under: just because |9 Comments

Hello. Boston Boomer and Dakinikat have been posting some informative threads lately…with lots of interesting news and updates.

I’m just going to stick with cartoons. I guess it’s because the news is so depressing. Just bear with me and enjoy the political commentary via Cagle:

I think my favorite has to be the one with the poodle and the Danny DeVito…which one do you like?

Take it easy out there…this is an open thread.

    The cartoons are keeping me sane. You wouldn’t believe the trolling John gets on his facebook over his cartoons. I’m so proud of him! He stands up to every one of them. I’m pretty sure there all just full time trolls.

    100% Wrong. Cowards always rationalize their cowardice. While opinions, thoughts, and observations may or may not be "black or white" (dichotomous), a yes or no *decision* is none of these. A yes or no decision is *by definition* black or white.

    Mark your calendars: August 13 at 1 p.m. ET. The public can call in and listen as a federal court holds a hearing over the Justice Department’s compliance with court orders involving the Epstein files.

    Bluster and backdown have turned Iran war into Trump’s own Groundhog Day

    The US president’s profound ignorance of his enemy has led to an impotent cycle of empty threats, analysts say

    This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe.We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

    I'd like to be alive when children don't fear this! An estimated 1.5 to 4.2 million children & youth experience homelessness in America each year. Researchers estimate that roughly 1.3 million infants, toddlers, and preschoolers—about 1 in 18 children under age six—experience homelessness annually.
