‘Toon: Pat Robertson once told one of his “700 Club” acolytes that the reason God allows 3 year olds to get cancer, she had asked, is because He knows that if these children live they will become like Hitler. No one responded by asking, in that case, why did He let Hitler survive childhood!! Adolf was the inspiration for Eric Fromm, a holocaust survivor, to come up with the diagnosis of “Malignant” Narcissism.
BFP: Excellent!
In that case, why did he let Pat Roberson survive childhood?
TJI#1: American policing was begun, I have read, in order to find escaped slaves. they just keep on honoring that vile legacy.
TJI#2: Ike knew some valuable things.
TJI#3: You tell ’em, Joe!
TJI#4: Well, apparently, he’s not ending the war…it will just go on by way of drones.
TJI#5: Cool!
Glad to hear from you, TC—we gotta keep flushing, don’t we? LOL! Ditto to Mitch & P. Bowen’s comments,too. Last night I was thinking about when I went to the DNC in ’84 (San Francisco!)& then Rachel M.came on and announced Walter “Fritz” Mondale had passed away. What a good man of integrity. I originally ran as an OH Congressional district delegate for Gary Hart & ended up going to the convention as an at-large alternate. I was sooo excited re: Ferraro as VP choice. The male delegates gave up their seats on the floor so we women could cast our votes for Gerry F.! Lots of great speeches by Jesse Jackson,Mario Cuomo, etc. I was struck by how many foreign press were there. I was a broke student/part-time teacher and stayed in a Berkeley dorm. Some up and comers there in CA gave speeches during non- prime time—–Diane Feinstein & Nancy Pelosi. And the years have rolled on—-stay safe,all.
What a memory of such an experience! I too grieve Mondale Did you see the letter he, knowing death was near, wrote and sent to all of his old staffers? It chokes me up,and I never met him in person. (I never made it to the DNC – I did reach the State convention in 1992.)
Good news from Colorado … Yesterday, “at the Governor’s Mansion, Governor Jared Polis signed HB21-1072 “Equal Access Services For Out-of-Home Placements” into law with immediate effect providing necessary anti-discriminatory protections for youth and parents in our state foster care system.” (from am email from OneColorado)
Sorry about the pain.. I hope it lets up some.
Cartoo – I don’t get to many movies, but I did catch “The Boys from Brazil.”Thank heaven that was fiction – but there are still too many Schicklgrubers with different names and features.
Blast – “Plastics!” JK – the song far transcends the movie.

Love your caption for that pic, Joanne!
It was another DU user who posted it with this caption. I’d love to have said it first.
Cartoon: Agree with Pat.
BFTP: Simon and Garfunkel was one of my favorites. Great tune.
Sorry that you’re not feeling well. Hopefully you’ll be able to rest, so you’ll get to feeling better soon.
Please do eat/drink, so you’re body has the nutrients it needs.
Prayers being sent your way, Tom.
Take care.
Derek Chauvin verdict …
Murder 2 Guilty
Murder 3 Guilty
Manslaughter Guilty
That’s guilty, guilty, guilty
Thank you, Joanne I’m right behind you.
PTL !
“Derek Chauvin found GUILTY of ALL charges in the death of Mr. George Floyd.
“It’s almost like there are serious consequences when you put your full weight on someone’s neck for the better part of ten minutes, ignoring the pleas and that of several bystanders.” ~ Mary Janice Davidson – Author ~
“You were told Mr. Floyd died because his heart was too big….
After seeing the evidence, you know Mr. Floyd died because Derek Chauvin’s heart was too small.”
~ Prosecutor’s closing statement during the Chauvin trial. ~
Yes, that line caught my attention too. I suspected you might use it as a TJI … but it’s perfectly in place here.
catching up, thanks…..glad the devil was convicted today….may it be the first step in letting our country live up to our promise that all are created equally and “peace and justice for all” equally and equitably.
Cartoon: Yep, that mega-jerk is indeed the patron saint of the modern GOP.
I hope the Chauvin 3x guilty verdict made you feel a bit better, TomCat.
Thanks, and way pooped hugs to all!
