Paul Newman starred in a movie about a corrupt Louisiana? Governor. The payoff monies were collected by a trove of his personally employed workers. In the movie Mr. Newman’s character uttered the dialogue, “The best Goddamned group of ‘yes’ men I’ve ever seen!” And so it is with TIME, NYTimes, and the WASHINGTON POST…. This all follows the totalitarian playbook that sacrifices a press that is investigative and NOT propagandistic. We now have faux elections, faux press, faux democracy; and the overwhelming DENIAL of citizens to recognize our Empire has peaked and is subsiding. That DENIAL is a tough nut to crack when ALL politicians and their parties (2) refuse to speak the truth of our situation. Our working class has no wealth and has been targeted since Reagan. Clinton passed NAFTA with no debate, transferring the best paying jobs offshore TO OUR COMPETITORS. THE FOREVER WAR MACHINE does not convince the majority of nations that it is a positive force. (Israel and ultra right wing settlers directing their war machine). BEFORE WE ALL CLIMB UP ON OUR HIGH HORSES, consider this. During and since Reagan, Dems and GOPpers have targeted the middle class to pay taxes and be swindled by their powerful wealthy corporate owners. Think Capitalism for the Uber Rich. We WE we citizens don’t trust the ‘media’, as in BLEH. Jobs were sent offshore, the good ones, not the poorest paid. Idiot Presidents engaged in no-win losing costly wars. The middle class was considered a “go-to” profit center TO BE PLUNDERED. NOW we have this despicable person as President. JUST WHO’S FAULT IS THAT? Huh? Get out of EMPIRE FAILURE DENIAL and tell the facts!! YOU CAN’T! Best Goddamned group of media “YES” men I have ever seen…. BLEH!!
Hey Trev, loved the post. I know I should subscribe, but anything I sent would have to be deducted from feeding poor children and protecting beagle puppies. May I use your Time cover as my Facebook profile photo (with attribution and your substack link)? I'll still love you if you write fuck no. - your pal, Lee
Shouldn't it be the "PASSING of Time...Magazine"?
All true and happening. Sometimes I honestly think this is all a nightmare that I cannot wake up from...thank you so much for your wit and talents.
We are all feeling that way …

Mah-vel-us, darling, just mah-vel-us!
And no editing! Is the world about to end or do we still have to wait till 20 Jan?
Good job, old boy. And the best 'toon imaginable.
End of the world does not have a fixed date ... though Jan 20 is a good bet.

Blighted states of America. You’re right on.
Putting the original Hitler on the cover didn’t kill Time Magazine so, I doubt this will either.
Brilliant
Thank you ...

The best part of the cartoon cover is the mouth. Does everyone get the image, I wonder? They should!
