The 9th Hole of Hell



Frozen out in the swamp of their own making as they pandered to the whims of a white supremacist man boy.. couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch. May they all be consigned to fetid swap of fascistic history. Heh.

Dantes 9th Circle be like...
The Emperor of the kingdom dolorous
From his mid-breast forth issued from the ice;
And better with a giant I compare
Than do the giants with those arms of his;
Consider now how great must be that whole,
Which unto such a part conforms itself.
Were he as fair once, as he now is foul,
And lifted up his brow against his Maker,
Well may proceed from him all tribulation.
O, what a marvel it appeared to me,
When I beheld three faces on his head!
The one in front, and that vermilion was;


The worst circle of them all. Reserved for the worst sin of all... Treachery. How very appropriate.

My hubby was discussing his appreciation of editorial cartoons recently with a friend who’s been a fan since childhood. His friend and his friend's father used to look at them together and share their ideas. He said it helped him to bond with his Dad and made him feel more grown up and respected as an individual with a right to opinions.

Thank you for posting.
Maybe there's a special place in Hell's history book for Betsy De since I do not see her pictured. She may be part of the larger crowd forming at the 18th Hole.

We need more funding, education and attention directed to the arts and humanities. Thoughtful citizens are formed early.

Oh, and to your point....how very appropriate indeed.

Love the Murder Hornet sized fly on the former VP’s head. I saw it and imagined a scene playing out...

Mother Pence on the phone to personal assistant at Walgreens before Inauguration:

“I don’t care what kind. If you can’t find a repellant with DEET in it, just go the cleaning products isle and buy some Raid or Black Flag.”


The jokes write themselves....
