@Castlepaloma It was Trump who gave a huge tax break to the rich. And because of that, our 247-year-old national debt increased by 25% in only 4 years. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/tax-cuts-are-primarily-responsible-for-the-increasing-debt-ratio/ https://itep.org/budget-deficit-revenue-shortfall-caused-by-tax-cuts-for-wealthy/

Of course Trump gets along with Putin; they're both fascists. But living under a corrupt dictator is a steep price to pay to "get along." Too steep by all accounts.

You're right, Done Cheato's star is fading. But he's still the frontrunner in the Republican primary, and he does have a shot at becoming president again. As such, he is a menace to American democracy. That in itself makes him an object of interest. But that is only deep background to this cartoon. Up front is the fact that he was just hit with a $5 million judgement for sexual battery and defamation, and within 3 dozen hours he repeated the defamation on national TV. And now his victim has filed another action with the court. This time she's asking for $10 million. Mind you, in the first lawsuit, E. Jean Carroll did not ask for a specific dollar amount. The jury came up with the $5 million figure on their own. On seeing how little efféct having to cough up $5 million had on Cheato's behavior, the next jury is likely to dial up the cost of running his mouth. Don't you think?

Flyingsaucesir replies on May 24, 2023:

@Castlepaloma When you have people in great numbers, as we do today, you have to have laws, and the means to enforce them. Otherwise you'll have nothing but anarchy, chaos, and rule of the gun (i.e. criminal gangs, war lords, cartels, mafias, etc.). If you want laws that are fair to everyone, then you need a representative body, a legislature, to write them. And then you will need another body, a judiciary,to interpret the laws. And you will need an executive to administer and implement the laws. Before you know it, you have a government. If the people who lead the various governmental branches are chosen by the people at large, there's a chance that the government will be fair and work for everyone's benefit. But the people who elect the government officials must be well-informed, and actively participate in the electoral process. They must be constantly vigilant, lest malign forces (like the afore-mentioned criminal gangs) take over the government and attempt to use it for their own selfish ends. Trump/MAGA is a prime example of such malign force. I find it very satisfactory that the system is holding Trump and his minions accountable. It's very encouraging. We may save this civilization yet. And I don't whine about having to pay taxes to keep the wheels of justice (and other government functions) rolling, because I know that [A] it's a hell of a lot better than the alternative, [B] I don't have a childish expectation that it will be perfect, and [C] I am reasonably confident that it's working, even though there is always room for improvement. 🙂
