Midnight Meme Of The Day!
>
Well, it's Friday and our festering orange boil of a president will be jetting down to Mar-a-Lago to cheat at some golf games at our expense. If there are any bloated dead brown bodies in the water hazards on his golf course, they just might be some of his own undocumented employees but I doubt it. Trump would have stocked his water hazards with gators to take care of any such "problems." He'd even watch and laugh. If Pence was there, he'd get a boner.
The cartoon that serves as tonight's Midnight Meme was created by freelancer Michael de Adder, a top Canadian cartoonist whose work has been viewed in several Canadian newspapers and elsewhere for the last 17 years. It references the photo of the bodies of Oscar Alberto Martinez Ramirez and his daughter Angie Valeria who recently drowned while attempting to cross the Rio Grande to come to America.
Michael de Adder had taken a break from criticizing Trump in his cartoons since, Brunswick News, Inc. the company that that owns several English and French language Canadian papers throughout the Canadian province of New Brunswick, plus papers in Toronto and Halifax, refused to run any of his anti-Trump cartoons anyway. The above cartoon was not even submitted to Brunswick News but that didn't matter. Within hours of the cartoon going viral via social media, Michael de Adder was told to never submit any of his cartoons of any kind to the Brunswick News ever again. The company, privately owned by 91-year-old billionaire industrialist John K. Irving, now claims the timing is all just a big coincidence. Sure!
This incident follows a recent incident where the staid, old "Grey Lady," aka the New York Times, announced that it would no longer be running political cartoons from two of it's longtime cartoonists after The Times ran a cartoon that mocked Trump and Israel's far right Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A similar chilling incident recently occurred at the Pittsburg Post-Gazette after a string of 18 anti-Trump cartoons by Pulitzer Prize nominee Rob Rogers were killed. Liberal Media? What Liberal Media! Joseph Goebbels is smiling.

This post is the closest any author on this site has written which admits that there is no hope to be wasted on the corporate media being available to expose the corruption. The only function of the corporate media anymore is to tell the weak-minded what approved thoughts to think today.
4:12, that's been true since Reagan repudiated both the fairness and equal time doctrines within the FCC. Since he also had cut the CEO's taxes and was in a dereg-gasm, the media remained mute. The democraps were not mute, however. They were all in on all of it by then.
But voters, as evidenced by the election of Reagan, were already far too fucking stupid to make sense out of what was being done *TO* them.
And they've affirmed all of it and more ever since.
The more accurate thought bubble would be: "move over, I'm playing through... and go back to your shithole country"
4:12, It looks like you've missed the more in depth posts on the subject that Down With Tyranny has done over the years. Sounds like you would have like them.
Then why does this site constantly call upon the media to act when it is patently clear that they will not?
Ergo, what is there to like?
