"It’s hard to admit when you have been bamboozled." The MAGA crowd has been vaccinated against hearing anything negative about their dear leader. They will wear their Red Hats and wave their Trump flags to their graves; never admitting that they were victims of a cruel and serial liar.
Could this article please be shared for MUST reading with Farm Bureau Farmers and leaders as well as the Iowas Senate jurisdiction committee meeting today!!!!
Thank you Art for writing another caring for Iowa report!
I think we should have a caricature of Trump as the the Kool-Aid (sweating vessel with red liquid?) with golden hair hanging on....and all the MAGA folks are drinking the Kool-Aid (ala Jonestown)...labeling them drinking the Kool-Aid over and over might get them feeling less secure with each passing day..Trump saying that Ukraine starting the war and they were fully responsible for the war...who can believe any of this?
Art, You are an impressive journalist! I really enjoy reading your stuff that comes my way! Hoping you get your health going in the right direction. Keep the words flowing.
I'm suspecting that RFK's objection to vaccine is that there are too many people on the earth. If we're talking climate change issues, it's really not the "too many people" but the wrong kind of people. The richest 1% has the same carbon footprint as the poorest 50% of the people.
So if we're getting rid of people to save the planet, we need to start with the richest people. And I don't know any rich volunteers.
Spot on Art. Nailed it again. Reporting the results of Trumps actions and letting it speak for itself with such clarity gives us hope. Maybe the shit hitting the fan here in the hometown from his imbecile enthusiasms will have an epiphany and open their eyes a little bit.
You know l, just a little woke. Enough woke at least to see the trainwreck come at us head on. Avoiding derailing it isn't going to happen , but maybe at least pump the brakes to show the rest of the world we aren't so unwoke that our eyes are at least taking a peek.
The lectionary for Sunday, February 16 from Luke chapter 6: Blessed are you who are poor for yours is the kingdom of God; But woe to you who are rich for you have received your consolation. Blessed are you who weep now for you shall laugh; But woe to you who are laughing now for you will weep.
Good luck with that stent business today and remember what Frank Zappa said “there’s very little difference between kneeling down and bending over “

Another good one, Art. Hope the stent deal goes well for you today.

"We have been hoodwinked."
"Flim-flammed."
"Bamboozled."

C'mon Art, we're the same age and grew up on the same cartoons. I know where you got that headline. :)_
And it's totally appropriate you're quoting The Gospel According to Looney Tunes, right?
Chuck Jones knew his stuff.
You'll recall in that episode Foghorn and the Dog join forces against a common foe -- and bottle the fraudster waterfowl.
We can only hope, huh?

Prayers for your quick and complete recovery. While delivering the lowdown on the state of chaotic affairs, you give us a chuckle; thanks‼️
Thank you thank you thank you, Art. Also, take good care of yourself. Make Art Healthy Again!
Best wishes today

I miss Iowa Republicans before the putsch.
