Sad.

(19,193 posts)if you're a Republican. It only matters when you're a Democrat. The tumbleweeds rolling, and crickets chirping from the House and Senate are testaments to that.

(51,129 posts)Their own bullshit smells sweet to them. That is the purpose of hyper-partisan politics, transcending reason and the senses to control the mob. Trump is a genius at it, as are all Carnival barkers.

Do both. Ridicule and satire are the most effective counters to the mob mentality once it is set like concrete. You can't reason with the absence of reason, you have to make them laugh at their gods.

(15,805 posts)I don't like to be deceived. On the current era of Fake News, trickery is not to be confused with humor unless everyone is allowed in on the joke. The real cover, in stark B/W, is a scathing condemnation of Trump's lowbrow character traits and reminds us all the he is still a feckless president who is MIA.

OP is satire from an over year old cover, which may or may not be real itself.
Sheesh! Please indicate satire!

Time is going out on a limb with this one. Love it!

(19,193 posts)Of both versions. This was from before he was elected. That's why the "45th President of the United States" doesn't have a check mark next to it.
It's clever, but we have to remember to look at EVERYTHING when considering the Orange shit-stain, because NOTHING seems impossible where he is concerned.
