"Royally Zucked"

https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/mark-zuckerberg-meta-factcheckers-billionaires

>> What Zuckerberg's capitulation means for the truth and our democracy

> "... Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads, will no longer fact-check user posts on its platforms..."

Instead he's going to do like Elon in #Muskville, and let #truth be crowd-sourced. A far cry from 'responsible" press enjoying 'free speech'.w/ #Truth

>" It’s about to get very ugly out there."

🎯

Sad #truth - as #history - like #fascism elsewhere, with #propaganda and #doublespeak the only ‘official’ “news” - repeats. Sir #TrumpVirus has learned from history, but his #cult & our #media, not so much. :-(

#democracy #fascism #inauguration
Cartoon by Chan Lowe (2016)

Captioned "Inauguration Day", Sir Trump is standing at a podium, being sworn in to office, Capitol behind him, Melania next to him.  As Trump extends his arm outward, fingers straight, in an exact imitation of Hitler's famous gesture, he is told, 
"NO... YOUR HAND GOES ON THE *BIBLE*."


Facebook is now "fact-free", after Zuck visited Mar-a-lago and contributed $1M to Sir #TrumpVirus

So now, following the #disinformation invite in Muskville, social media as defined by Facebook et al is devoid of fact-checks & moderation. In the name of "free speech". Rah rah "alternative facts"! Reality is now optional. :-(

Most of my vintage Facebook/IG friends have now signed off.

Pathetic. R.I.P. #moderation

#Cartoon of the Day:
**Holiday Disaster averted... for now.**

But that demon elf on the shelf watches and controls the #media / #disinformation in #Muskville and beyond:

President #MuskVirus - powered by #TrumpVIrus and enabled by lack of any constraints or allegiance to #reality / #truth
Cartoon by Deering:
A family is sitting on a sofa looking blankly straight ahead (at TV?)

Behind them on the wall, above, is a shelf.
The "elf on the shelf" is clearly Elon Musk, holding up a sign:
"GOVERNMENT Shutdown"

And a bigger sign is the cartoon title, and label for the Elon elf:
"ELON the unelected ELF on EVERYBODY'S SHELF"


#Truth in #media. - on ABC bending the knee for #TrumpVirus intimidation and #disinformation - their new standard?

Sadly, I've removed ABC Nightly "News" from my daily routine. **A** **B** ulls**t **C** ompany. Shameful.

Borowitz Report (short, sweet, satire - with a whole lot of truthiness!

Dan Rather:

>> Is Trump Really Calling the Shots?

https://open.substack.com/pub/steady/p/is-trump-really-calling-the-shots

"Just when you think it can’t get weirder or more dysfunctional …_"

So, just who is calling the shots/pulling the strings? ( #Elon? #Putin ? #Project2025 ? #Brainspurs on steroids?)

A fair and important question.

Anyone remember long ago - in the days before #MuskVirus - when Sir "danced" with air?

I've been drilling down on the Kerfuffle over "Morning Joe" & sidekick house-calling on Sir #TrumpVirus

We don't know what actually went on down in the swamps, nor whose idea it was, the "fear" or goal: "service" or $ or 'Stay out of jail' card... "Who knows?"

And the larger concern: the state of "free press", #media, & influence on "belief".

More #TrumpVirus #Truth ...

As the Mayor of #Muskville tries to endear himself while enjoying the COSPLAY & #RealityTV #disinfomation that their own #media propagates. Sad.

Some nice capturing of personality and reality here, IMHO.
This is a 6-frame, dense-packed panel cartoon by Tom Tomorrow.
Cannot fit all, sorry. 

Synopsis: Mayor Musk is glowing with excitement over his brilliant DOGE acronym for his department to take over the treasury intends to do. 

1ST FRAME: 
Musk: "I'M HERE IN MAR-A-LAGO TO HELP ANY WAY I CAN!"
Trump (who looks like a bulked-up orange HULK): 
"YES, TRUMP KNOW. YOU SEEM TO LIVE HERE NOW."
2:
Sir StableGenius, bulked up and looking like an orange hulk, says:
"TRUMP HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TAKING ABOUT."
3:
TRUMP: "BUT TRUMP MAKE YOU CO-CHAIR... ALONG WITH FELLOW BOOTLICKER VIVEK RAMASWAMY! KEEP YOU BOTH BUSY!.... NOTHING SAYS 'EFFICIENCY' LIKE DEPARTMENT WITH TWO LEADERS!"

4:
Musk -  morphed into Trump's Defense Dept head pick, revealing his tattoo:  "STANDING BACK AND STANDING BY, SIR!"

TRUMP: "TRUMP ALSO NEED ATTORNEY GENERAL--"

5: Behind a screeching (open-mouthed) Trump is Gaetz, and behind him, RFK Jr 

TRUMP:  .... "SOMEONE WHO WILL LET TRUMP WIPE ASS WITH THE *ACTUAL CONSTITUTION!*   
SO OBVIOUSLY TRUMP SELECT MATT GAETZ

Gaetz thanks Sir for "some very outside-the-box thinking".

TRUMP: "HA! HA! TRUMP ASO PUT ANTI-VAX GUY IN CHARGE OF H.H.S. *TRUMP OWN THE LIBS SO HARD!*

6th (Final) Frame -

Left to right: Musk, Gaetz, RFKJ & Sir 

TRUMP: "OKAY TRUMP TIRED NOW. TRUMP WANT TO WATCH TV AND TAKE NAP."

MUSK: "WOULD YOU LIKE *FIRST BUDDY* TO FLUFF YOUR PILLOW, SIR?"

TRUMP: 
" *GAH!*  DON'T YOU HAVE COMPANIES TO RUN, LEON? "

MUSK: "ELON, SIR."

TRUMP: "WHATEVER."


"Gob-smacking, Jaw-dropping, Head-slapping", says cartoonist Matt Wuerker.

And sidenote: Wuerker and Clay Jones are still on X, but Stephen King, and several cartoonists have announced they are gone, and headed to bluer skies. As the #MuskVille town square is now just one more #media bubble of #TrumpVirus
 Cartoon by Matt Wuerker

The huge statue of Abraham Lincoln in his memorial is shown with a loud "KA-BOOM" explosion, shattering the head of Lincoln, as he exclaims "&#@★!!"

In his hand is a newspaper, with a headline which reads:
"TRUMP PICKS CABINET"

The cartoon is labeled (at the base of the statue, bottom center):
"MIND-BLOWING"

Bottom right is a park ranger whose hat is blown off as he reacts in horror to the explosion.

Note on the "X" post by artist: 
"Gob-smacking, Jaw-dropping, Head-slapping....


Bye bye.... American democracy pie.
