Yes Imp, thanks for an example of an idiot that is probably not talented enough to create art, yet simply add dialog to another's art, that attempts to downplay a woman being raped. Raped anyone recently, have you?...

One would have to understand the truth of the current human condition to actually intelligently comment on such a situation as the cartoon presents.

I'm sorry Imp, truly I am!

The President should obey the law of the land like everyone else.

You mean the church the "lawful citizens" had just ravaged and burned? That church?
You clearly don't know what you're talking about as usual.

I've experienced it. It was part of my training. Not fun!

Trumps a cowardly bully, it's obvious! Did I mention his idiocy?

irresponsible of the parents, yeah?

honey, let's go protestin' this afternoon...we'll bring the kids, get ice cream between marches

:thumbsdown:
Idiot, peaceful protesters shouldn't have to worry about such things. Though rioters should. The problem being that no particular crowd is comprised exclusively of one type person or group thereof.

Do you go to a concert wearing body armor? Dumbass!

Do you mean, Mr Trump ordered his sort of militiamen to charge while drawing their sabres on peacable people just expressing legitimate concerns while accompanied by their little ones?

Well , no horses obviously , but the principle is the same.
It is no surprise that they were mistaken for rioters. Many were wearing masks.
Oh that's funny, but then you weren't there.

Yeah, but what toys have you made for yourself? Should the United States be restricted to fighting wars with the things you can put together in your garden shed?
if that's the standard then no gov ought to play with anything better than staffs and bows and arrows

no gov builds weapons: they buy 'em
So I guess you've never heard of a Nuclear Bomb, they've only been around since 1945.

You missed it, it wasn't about the church burning, it was about which people did it and which were gassed.

Fools and their groupism, as if it's necessarily definitive. ;-)

I don't think most AJ's really think about it much at all. Rather, they tend to feel about it, then talk like what they feel is reality.
I think neither of you is givin' Joe Average enough credit

I picked the Washington Post, because although there were far better papers with far better pictures of the burned church, I figured you'd only respect a Leftie source.

I guess I was wrong...you don't even respect that.
