Beel-yuns and Beel-yuns!
Shtrumpf is building himself a $200-million-dollar Golden Ballroom because he likes to be fellated by toadies and cronies in style.
We're just lucky the ballroom wasn't given to him by Qatar, else it would have cost a billion dollars.

Social Security was enacted as a result of the stock market crash of 1929.
Now TrumpChumps are, again, promoting the idea of privatizing SS and investing its funds in... the stock market.
Sigh. Yes, the same stock market that's been flat since the fascists took over and is currently experiencing a core breech because Republicans have no interest in creating jobs.
Social Security's problems can be ameliorated by raising the taxable income cap higher than the $168k level its currently set at. This is opposed to the GOP idea of taking the trust fund to Vegas and putting it all on red.

During the top-of-the-hour news break on my local NPR station they announced that The Corporation For Public Broadcasting was having to shut its doors because [fat illiterate orange racist] ended its funding because he felt it was too biased against him.
The very next news story was of Cambodia nominating [pudding-brained incontinent rapist] for a Nobel Peace Prize.
1. NPR, regarding the Peace Prize story, please stop trying to appease that Nazi-loving book-burner. It's just sad. You're like a physically abused housewife who "just cain't leave hee-yum 'cuz yew got nuthin' else!"
2. I'd like to nominate [sadistic equivocating fart-machine who cheats at golf] for a "No-Way-In-Hell Prize".

We need more progressive protest music.
In my (the opposite of "humble") opinion one of the big reasons we don't have good protest songs today, like we did in the 60s/70s, is when an artist back then created a song excoriating either the status quo or an obvious attack on our liberty we would all rush to the record store to buy a copy, encouraging more like it.
Now, too many people simply listen passively to whatever streams over Spotify, or its ilk, music owned and operated by a corporate entity. Whether good or bad, subjectively speaking, the music is supported purely by subscription so our ability to drive a progressive social narrative through specific media support is watered down.
So it amazes me when I hear performers like Jesse Welles wafting through the airwaves, though he had to muscle his way in through sheer force of creative ability and a hardware store full of axes to grind. We need many more like him, and more analog ways to financially support similar artists.

Dear Future Social Acheologists or other confused persons:
Today's 'toon is in reference to recent news that Prez Rumpty's idiotic tariffs have cost American consumers $150 billlion dollars after just six months of his squatting behind the Resolute Desk. As a result, the job market crashed and took the stock market with it. Yeah, good times.
