I like how the cartoonist highlighted her Adams Apple.

It's a caricature, not a portrait and MTG doesn't look right either, war paint and horns aside.
Often times the cartoonist has hidden meaning which is why I asked. I wanted to discuss hidden meaning if any. I wasn't judging your post.

She should have been wearing one of those Russian fur hats with horns attached, like the qanon shaman, make it the new standard head dress for magats. They can be like the loyal order of water buffalos.

Some cartoonists are not very good artists.

HEY...NO...DO NOT equate fucking magats with the loyal order of water buffaloes.
Modern society either shits on or appropriates my cultural icons, from my youth, almost daily. Let the lame ass unoriginal assholes come up with an idea of their own, for once, instead of MISappropriating the ideas of everyone who went before them.
They've ripped off the Addams family, the fucking Archies, one flew over the cuckoo's nest, they haven't had a decent movie that wasn't a remake or reboot in over a decade....get a fucking original thought of your own, for fuck's sake...quit stealing ours, while still living at home after you turn 18...or 28...or 38...

Alright, alright "look like loyal order of water buffalos" then!
We already know who they are- most vocal treasonous. I'm so happy the camera got them booing at the mere thought of cutting one penny from the very pretty head of Social Security; then standing in unity.
Just the* blast from the past^

I’m between a couple in southern CA.
Don’t get me wrong: I really like the aircraft sounds. Once in a while a fighter comes straight in at lowish altitude, and the high-pitched scream it makes in approach would be at home coming from a dragon bellowing challenge. Makes my hair stand on end.
There’s a small municipal airport nearby, and someone owns and operates one of these early-50s French trainers. It is a beautiful ship, and its pair of low-power turbojets make a soft whoosh sound. Sometimes the owner executes a slow aileron roll out of apparently pure joie de vivre.
Multiengines make a sound all their own. On a good day it will be one of these.

TV raised me and I became a successful person because I had positive role models like Shirley Partridge, Carol and Mike Brady.
I disagree that TV is the boob tube..TV has PBS on the basic 13 channel lineup pre-cable. I also read many books.
They lost me with The Great Gazoo..I guess they were losing viewers..Hanna-Barbara was a big franchise though; I guess there's only so much you can do for a cartoon based in BCE.
Obvi they switched the lyrics..I don't recall the 'devil' and 'evil' in this song..changing history again. Every link has the same words; these GOP cult members are fucking sick.
Can you believe it? A 60s cartoon revisionist history- that must really bug the beaters that they felt the need.

We have many trains through here; some hate, it's comforting to me as it reminds of my dad's hometown and days as a child at my grandparents.

First year in California we lived a hundred yards from a train line. Neither of us minded. When a freighter came through, the apartment trembled a bit.
One day the apartment trembled but I heard no train. Time to turn on the tv, and sure enough, local quake.

a decade later we moved to the foothills and got a property immediately adjacent to a rail line that hosted a tourist steam train. We lived less than a mile from Petticoat Junction and the set from two dozen movies. We liked to wave at the valley bennies.
