As my dad would have said, if this week had been a fish, I'd have thrown it back ...
Not satisfied with flooding the streets of Washington with military and law enforcement personnel, Der Furor announced his plan to create a “Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force” of hundreds of National Guard troops to quell potential civil unrest; Der Furor met ... unsuccessfully ... with his fellow autocrat, Vladimir Putin, in Alaska to discuss selling out Ukraine in pursuit of his much-desired Nobel Peace Prize; far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says that plans for a controversial settlement project in the occupied West Bank will "bury the idea of a Palestinian state ... because there is nothing to recognize and no one to recognize;" U.S. tourism officials say Congress’s controversial $250 "visa integrity fee" will deter international visitors, cost the country nearly $11 billion in lost visitor spending and tax revenue over the next three years, and not be refundable as claimed by its sponsors ... it's not clear from the article whether this is related to fees of $5,000 - $15,000 to be charged to visa applicants from certain countries; and in England, workers called in to remove a World War II-era bomb discovered under a children's playground discovered a long-buried cache of 176 other bombs.
This week, since Der Furor believes that life in every Democratic-controlled city in the United States - especially Washington, D.C. - is Hell on earth, how about a collection of cartoons about Hell and its punishments ...
It's hard to imagine a worse punishment for an expert in any field ...
The eternally junk mail-stuffed inbox ...
Ah, yes ... I'm sure this is what a lot of hardcore Christians are going to suffer ...
This is obviously how lawyers are tormented ...
Be sure to think the offer through carefully ...
No ... no, it's not ...
Your primary care doctor in hell may not have read the Hippocratic Oath ...
As the veteran of a lot of torturous meetings, I can see this being a hideous eternal torment ...
It's not exactly a cartoon, but it certainly brings The Inferno into the 21st century ...
I think this is where we'll end up if the bar for Der Furor's behavior keeps being lowered ...
And that's it for this week's devilish collection of cartoons - I hope that you've enjoyed them.
Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday, when we look at comparative misery. More thoughts then.
