Looks like he should be speaking to his local AA chapter…
I’m sure he was invited because they were interested in his views on water fluoridation.

“Trump’s Pick To Lead OMB Spoke At John Birch Society Event In July.”
Of course he did.
And this just in: The sky is blue.
And the worldwide Jewish banker conspiracy.

The John Birch Society seems moderate compared to the incoming administration.

It is a good thing Timothy McVeigh was executed or he’d be Trump’s choice for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

I doubt he’d consider the chance to speak to Black Lives Matter or the Southern Poverty Law Center as an “opportunity.”

A Bircher in Trump’s cabinet? Oh no, instead of focusing on his job, he’ll probably spend all his time trying to uncover Russian plots and agents within the government…
On second thought, I support this nomination.

The cartoonist Garry Trudeau has been on trumpf’s case for decades, and has a terrific book focused just on him and his mad ranting. In return trumpf calls him a “third-rate talent” and a “sleazeball.”

Well, the Koch brothers have finally bought the US government.
May they choke on it.

Make America Great Again! Let’s see, hula hoops, the twist, Ike, ice cream socials, Elvis, classifying gay people as mentally ill, Jim Crow, legalized segregation and discrimination, men beating their wives with impunity, - almost forgot the John Birch Society!

I know, I still read Doonesbury almost every day, and have been following it as much as possible since the 70s (I also saw him pitch the book on TRMS). I loved his reported first impression of Trump way back then: “Biggest. Asshole. Ever. Must draw!”
Perhaps the black humor/snark attempt might have come across better if I’d have said “Hmm, when did Trudeau switch from satire to straight (albeit colorful) reporting?”

You don’t hear Trudeau’s name tossed around much but he’s more relevant than ever. I check his cartoons every day in the funny pages, but he really soars on Sundays. I saw him on TRMS too.

I couldn’t agree more. I try to go to his website (http://doonesbury.washingtonpost.com) daily. They have other interesting features besides the strip, btw.

Funny! We do that too.
Except when we talk to Black Lives Matter, your constituents shoot them. I don’t think the Constitution includes a right to do that, nor an executive being able to bypass laws by writing laws which exclude only him.
The John Birch Society has been running most of government since the 1980s. Their vision is one of limited freedom. The limits to freedom are to be determined by a small elite who control all power. This interplay of government excess/corruption/money versus the shrinking ability of the American people to affect government — we all feel alienated from government, conservatives — accounts for a lot of the problems we all see.
Their John Birch experiment has abeen an abject failure for the past 35 years, introducing deep corruption into our democracy. If there’s one single thing that accounts for most of our nation’s problems, it’s the screwy ideas of the conservative movement.
