1. This guy is spot on

[jehop61]

2. I ordinarily like his cartoons

but this one is over the top. 9-11 is still to raw to use it for political commentary.

[secondwind]

4. I agree.

[Fla Dem]

6. Agree. Not appropriate ever.

[Augiedog]

9. Perfectly appropriate. What's coming from repigs is what's inappropriate.

10. Look

Even 16 years later it's still agonizing but it has to be looked at in context.
He is trying to show another coming disaster.
More people will be killed slowly.....quietly........ by the repeal of healthcare than died in those towers.
It will kill my mom.
My dad died on 9-11
I have my bases covered.

11. Agree. More will die when the GOP guts the ACA than when some terrorists decide to take down a

building. The GOP are committing an act of terror.

14. You're entitled to your opinion, I disagree...

and just like 9/11, the real damage was done by us to ourselves after the fact.

In fact, I think you can trace a lot of what is happening today right back to that day.

I think the imagery is spot on.

3. Outstanding.......nt

5. No, they won't, and here's what will happen

1. The GOP guts Obamacare. 20 million go uninsured.

2. A “Hey everyone! Look! What’s that (crisis / event / problem / concept) over there??!” diversion immediately ensues. The GOP races to address said (real or imaginary) issue without bothering to deliver any of their pledges on "fixing" health care.

3. Anyone who questions why these pledges weren’t kept is then derided as obstructionist, anti-American, unpatriotic, biased, “reporting fake news” (that’ll be a big one, I’m afraid - they’re already immediately labeling any uncomfortable facts as “fake news”). The GOP will shout down detractors by insisting “What were YOU doing while we were taking care of (diversionary issue they ran off to ‘address’)? You liberals are all problems, no solutions, no ideas of your own, etc. etc. etc.”

4. Rinse and repeat. Trump supporters vote to re-elect despite the string of failed or empty promises because “liberals in charge would be so much worse.”

7. Great cartoon

[Augiedog]

8. Repealing ACA may well kill more than died in the Twin Towers

[FSogol]

12. +1 n/t

[flamingdem]

13. Wow, OTT but accurate in that more Americans will die than in 9/11 due to

the Kamizaze behavior of the Rethugs
