Good old @realDonaldTrump gets the treatment he deserves (and it's a laugh!)

Just once I wish we could see this happen in a press conference. I mean, the UN was great, but the    press really needs to stop treating this guy like a real leader.

In other news:
RIP Stan Lee. He literally taught me how powerful people should behave.

With great power comes great responsibility.

That was the lesson he taught readers in Spider-Man comics. Now, if only the idiots in Washington DC could learn the same lesson.

Billy and Barbie are about to tell YOU why the media LOVES/HATES @realDonaldTrump

I know I've covered this before but seriously! The only glimmer of hope is that Fox News has stopped live coverage of Trump's Nazi-style rallies due to low ratings. Hopefully this will continue, but I know better than to hope too much.

Hey, thanks for reading!! Please let me know what you think! Come @ me, bro!

Just the other night I saw Andrea Mitchell, a TV news reporter with decades of experience covering politics basically say that as long as Trump is president and Trump tweets, the news media will report on it--like it's the only reality possible.

Billy has news from the All #Trump News Network!

Now, I don't agree with Trump and his whole "Fake News" thing, but, at this point, about 80% of news about Trump is fake.  There's no point in reporting the same BS coming out of his mouth every time he opens it but every day, that's what the American MSM does.  Let's be honest, the press also lets him get away with lying through his teeth every day.  Real journalists would call him on every last lie--to his face.  Hell, they don't even call him on it NOT to his face.  Lies are being told endlessly and very rarely are they referred to in news reports AS lies.  We've devolved into some sort of parody of America.  The government is run by amoral, cowardly, conservative corruptionists and spineless, meek, pretend liberals.  Meanwhile, the milquetoast media is too scared to confront the damn truth.

It's FUN watching America rot from the inside in real time! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Things are pretty bad right now.  I'm sure you've probably noticed.

WAS there a time before #Trump?

I honestly have trouble remembering the news and life before Trump. And it's only been 9 months! Imagine how things will feel after 4 years of this shit.

Well, this is pretty topical in that just the other night Meryl Streep said at the Golden Globes that America needs a strong press.  Guess our press has been having trouble for a long time now! :(

This is why I've been listening to Democracy Now for over a decade now.  That isn't where I get ALL my news--no source should be trusted completely--but it is the most reality-based that I've been able to find.

By some sort of error within Blogger, this strip did not post when it should have.  It sat in my queue as a draft for some reason.  Regardless, I am glad it did since it ultimately relied on data that was utterly, completely incomplete and misleading.  If anyone should suffer for what happened on November 8, 2016, it's the polling industry.  They pretended their numbers were somehow accurate and indicative of how Americans would vote and yet it went the other way.

Read on if you want to read my original commentary for this strip.  It's still accurate, but the poll numbers I reference, obviously, weren't.

You know this is true--Clinton is doing very well, despite being disliked by many and Trump is doing insanely well despite being insane.  If Bernie had been covered like Donald and Hillary have been, it's pretty likely that
