Saturday Evening

Actually, there's at least one King who's okay…Jack Kirby. And I have nothing against Alan King, Dr. Martin Luther King, The Little King or even King Kong. But I was glad to see so much of America out there peacefully protesting the kind of "king" we have now ruling this nation with an "I can do any f'ing thing I want" attitude. The turnout oughta convince a lot of elected officials in swing states that things will be swinging the wrong way for them if they don't distance themselves from Trump or Trumpism some time before the next Voting Day.

The Little King, by the way, was the title character of a now-obscure comic strip by the great Otto Soglow…

I wish politicians were better sports and didn't hide behind lame denials of reality like "They were all paid protesters" or "ANTIFA bussed them in." One unfortunate lesson that I think a lot of them have learned from Trump is "Your supporters never want to hear you admit you were wrong or the other side did something right." Here's Donald caught in a blatant mistruth refusing to admit he was wrong…

I suspect a lot of Trump followers know he lies left and right and that you can't believe what he says. I think they just like what they think he's doing to the country and the world and figure that, "Well, if he has to lie to get the job done, fine. Besides, all politicians lie, especially when they tell me something I don't want to believe is true."
