<"What's Wrong With This Picture?": The Highwayman

Now that we're finally shaking off the hangover of history's longest government shutdown, we get a first from The Highwayman, an honest to goodness strip, of all things...will wonders never cease?
Considering all the collateral damage that Herr Trump's latest stunt wreaked -- starting with the estimated $6 billion damage to the economy, once all the requisite federal dominos fell -- the here-and-there-furor over Congresswoman Tlaib's MF outburst seems, well, almost quaint.
We're running it, anyway, though, because the central point still stands. For those of us who oppose Trump and his minions, the dumpster fire that his Presidency represents is unlikely to prompt interjections out of some '30s-era Buck Rogers handbook ("Great Scott!", "Great Space!", and so on).
Considering the malevolence of that Presidency -- the constant attempts to strip millions of health coverage, the ginormous tax overhaul that gave away ever more to the rich, and the jamming of one Brett Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court -- the never-ending demands for civility and respect raining down from Trump and his cohorts seem downright hypocritical, to put it mildly.
And until that dark stain is washed away, those calls will go unheeded. We shall not be moved, because we feel unmoved. --The Reckoner
