Some were funny, others were contrived (Yes, I understand since these are comics they would all be contrived. In this instance, I mean forced and unfunny). However, it would have been better if at least one bit both ways. For example:

Not sure if anyone’s pointed this out yet but Long ain’t the first. Rapinoe did it when Kaep first started getting attention. Her’s was dismissed by some as a misunderstood attention grab since she did it while playing for the National team. I tend to agree with the criticism of Rapinoe. If you have that much of a…

Another interesting CA fact not included in the article related to its history of racism... ratification of the 15th amendment! There were six holdout states, technically seven if you want to include New Jersey, but California and Oregon, all the way out on the west coast, were two of the last states to ratify. …

So... it turns out I have some racist friends, staggeringly racist in some cases.

My sentiments exactly. It’s forthcoming but also reveals a fairly immoral disposition. The shoulder shrug “what was I supposed to do” question has a simple answer. It’s leadership. It’s hard. Not everyone does it (absolutely including myself), but that’s why there are so few leaders. You are venturing ahead into…

Mike... how do you leave out the almost painful irony of a guy whose whole business model and self professed affluence is based on garnering attention and then criticizes someone for valuing attention? 

It was impressively clairvoyant when you wrote “Just to clarify, taking aid, either financial or material, from a foreign power during a presidential campaign is totes illegal,” because after reading the previous sentence I was in the process of questioning the magnitude of the transgression. Is this a no-no slap on…
