Two of my favorite cartoonists – one from either side of the aisle – have made recent contributions worth noting. Ramirez makes an excellent statement about America, with its porous borders, exposing itself to all kinds of ongoing socio-economic insults. (H/T to reader)
But today’s (20jan18) offering by our own RL Crabb in The Union is of most interest. He correctly discerns that in recent years it has been that “those who wear a star will decide who will wear the stripes.” It wasn’t supposed to be that way according to our Constitution. But in recent years the star-clad enforcers of the various fed agencies (and they all have them, some with military gear) have been the posse/jury/judge/turnkey one-stop shop to put you behind bars. This new role for law enforcement was brought to a pinnacle by former FBI Director Comey exonerating Hillary from an entire list of obvious crimes.
Now I’m not sure if Bob’s cartoon above is an epiphany, or a tongue-in-cheek revelation of a longheld understanding, or was he even aware of the profundity that his little bearded one uttered.
