I was definitely around in the 80s (and 60s for that matter) and it cracked me up when they tried to put through that law. It never passed. the funniest part for me was when 'patriots' broke the actual flag laws by having bikinis, etc. made out as American flags.

There is also an excellent article on this by Parker Molloy -

"The flag is typically folded and placed in the box, then collected by organizations like the American Legion or Boy Scouts of America for a ceremony. Organizations often hold flag retirement ceremonies where the flags are burned in a respectful manner."

The ones in power don't care - They will still have all the meat, fruits and veggies they want. For the rest, well, either read the book or see the movie 'Soylent Green'.

Anyone with money able to purchase cold soft drinks and have them delivered to the troopers?

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump a calling in the Guard because he is pissed off. I doubt it would take much more than that.

I would suggest that people listen to the entire clip before posting an opinion. The headline explanation does misrepresent what she is saying. YES, she should have said more about calling in the National Guard, but she is also saying to not get distracted from killing the BB Bill.

Biden the last 4 years would have been the Republican Candidate in 1980.

Um, 'human smuggling'? Isn't that what was done to him? I think the wrong people are being charged.

Just the drivers. The others should be charged as accessories.

OR in 10 years there will be no one, not in prison camps or deported, who would not admit to loving 'Dear Leader' from the very first.

Undercover officers don't wear items that claim they are police. All police should have to show IDs and prove they are police - If you were grabbed by people with no ID or uniforms except what could be bought on Amazon and they tried to throw you into a generic white van, would you go willingly?

Masked, no IDs, and not under cover. What's wrong with Republicans and their desire not to take responsibility?

3. The masked 'legitimate' ICE agents that were shot turned out to be January 6ers with outstanding warrants.

Many of the masked people are the ones who would use the 'Stand Your Ground' rules.

It seems that Rokhanna is a true 'centrist' - i.e. He wants the Democratic party to be the Republican party without MAGA.

All I can see here is that Rokhanna is a true 'centrist' - i.e. He wants the Democratic party to be the Republican party without MAGA.

Because most of them are part of the wealthy that get more money with the B.B. Bill? Kind of like the Democratic leadership that didn't want FDR - The US really needs a Roosevelt again.

Back then the disasters were longer term, not 10 or 12 a day?

Alas he doesn't write 6 strips a week. By next week all of this will be superseded by some other disaster.

I can definitely state that for women, Afghanistan was much better in the 70s than it is now.

That was 60s and 70s tech and yes, they truly did suck.

I wish young an excellent birthday! I've been massively lucky - Being hired in tech well after 50 for a couple of different companies because they've seen my work and not my age :-). (Granted, being male and white starts me a few rungs up the ladder as well.)

I don't disagree that this is on them, I am saying that they were told differently by those they trusted.
Let's try this a different way - If FOX 'NEWS' told you [almost anything] would you believe them [with no other confirmation]? Most of them have been taught that all news sources are left-wing.

I've always said that I'm bisexual, it's just that I've never found a male that I was attracted to.

This is just another case of someone who believed that people he trusted told the truth. It's sad and I don't feel righteous because he is finding out that they lied to him.

My wish - All Senators and Members of the House must use the medical resources of the average person in their state. So, if the average person is uninsured and the senator needs anything medical, then they have to pay for it out of their own pocket. No more gold plated medical for them.

Among the 'US citizens' who worked for NASA were a large group of Canadians who moved to the US after Canada was convinced to cancel the Arrow in 1959 & killed much of the Canadian aircraft industry.
And then there was this fellow who 'was never a NAZI'; just ask him!

There was a huge brain transfer from Canada to the US after the US convinced Canada to cancel the Avro Arrow in 1959 - Most ending up with NASA. And then there was this fellow who 'was never a NAZI'; just ask him!
