Release the Epstein Files

The Orange Blob (I resist using his name) who sits in the White House is a sexual predator and a pedophile.  I say that blatantly because there are countless brave women who have come forward and stated that. Most have been paid off so that they won't go to court against him. At least one did take him to court and now he has a huge bill to pay because of it. 

That he hasn't had criminal charges against him testifies to how corrupt and biased our judicial system is today. It clearly favors the rich and those with some semblance of power. If someone like me or Joe the Plumber were to have done the deeds of his Orange Largeness, we'd be sitting in prison for the rest of our lives. 

 So although I can't do anything about the Man with Orange Makeup, I can at least blog about his malfeasance. So below are just a few of the thousands of memes created by other outraged souls who feel helpless against a system that lets this happen. 

Feel free to share these extensively. 

 



























What? You think that is overdoing it? Maybe you are not taking this issue seriously enough.  Release the files!

 

Ah, James Thurber

Summer Vacation

 

Hey, it's hot in Texas. We at The Thurber Brigade decided to head somewhere cooler. We'll be back next month with another biting satire, clever essay, or post about this and that. Maybe.

I Meme It

 Over the years I've created some memes in order to comment on various issues of the day. So I thought I'd show them off in one place. Sadly, they are still relevant today because the GOP just won't give up on a bad ideas.

I created this one to mock the GOPpers who are so anti-abortion that they don't believe there should even be exceptions if a child is raped and becomes pregnant. 

   

This one came about after a protest in Baltimore where the cops arrested protestors, yet police let the heavily armed right-wing protestors in Oregon go free.


 Had to do this because The Orange One kept saying the 2020 election was stolen, even though no one ever could produce evidence; and in 2016 he said his campaign had no Russian influence, even though the evidence was clear. 
This was meant to remind farmers why they really shouldn't vote for the Orange Blob. They did anyway.


 Created this because MTG actually claimed that Italian satellites had a hand in the election.


 For some reason, the non-working class GOPpers keep wanting to raise the retirement age.


I kept getting irritated because TFG kept bragging about how great his economy was doing. His economy actually didn't do much at all during his time in office. He did get a boost early on from the booming economy Obama made.


Yeah, the parent's rights movement said they had a right to keep their kids from learning different things that might open their minds. This was a reminder that parents back in the day absolutely didn't want their children sitting next to any black kids.


The courts decide that even though The Fat Guy was impeached and started an insurrection, he could go ahead and stay on the ballot in 2024. Stupid courts.

Okay, I'm not entirely sure I created this, but I think I did it after some people protested the removal of traitor statues in various cities. Truthfully, the US made a big mistake by going easy on the traitors and so it led to many of them being venerated. After the Civil War, the generals and politicians should have been executed, and trials held for other ranking soldiers.


Texas, and several other southern states, kept trying to pass bills that would require people who looked like immigrants (basically, anyone not white) to show papers proving they weren't here illegally. 


Did this one after yet another mass shooting. Think this was one in Oregon. 


Okay, okay, this wasn't one of my political memes, it was one I did for my hilarious, satirical book SEX and the AMERICAN MALE. You really should buy it. It's great.

The Big Bro

As children we played games and even as adults we had late night Risk battles into the wee hours. We were terrors for our parents when riding in the back seat on long trips, and as adults we attracted attention with our bickering during travels abroad or in the US. We had loud, sometimes angry, arguments over politics, but just as often together yelled our support for the Longhorn and Detroit teams at countless athletic event



We were competitive, rowdy, boisterous, stubborn and cantankerous. We were also loving, friendly, talkative and caring.



We were brothers.
