Mea maxima culpa, I still subscribe to the New Yorker, as a member of the reading class who dotes on fine writing, despite horrible left-wing views expressed subliminally and liminally at every opportunity. But I had to gawk in disbelief at the cover. t depicts a sepulchral Trump, looking hardly different from Bela Lugosi in the latter clutches of tuberculosis dumping “tax data” into a roaring fireplace in a gloomy cave-like room hung quietly with cobwebs here and there. (snip) On the mantel is a gallon jug container of bleach, with four wine goblets arrayed nearby

The author helped fund this cover, so why is she complaining? I used to visit for the cartoons, but haven't in 4 years since 90% of them were anti-Trump. Quo vadis, Ms. Dreyfus?

It is already lower than a snake's belly. Where will it go?

I agree that the cover is wretched, but I think the author has mis-identified the subjects. Trump is working the bellows, Guiliani is holding the stack of (probably) legal briefs (not tax data) for fire-building, and the balding "woman" in the wheelchair is Father Time!

Oh my, a member of the reading class! I guess the rest of us are doomed to looking at pictures in comics.

I see that The New Yorker is having a tough time finding more slanted, dishonest, foolish, political bon mots with which to delight the more than liberal adherents to the religion that is progressivism. With every printing they testify to the accuracy of President Trump's assertion that the media is a functioning part of the democratic party.

A magazine, which I would not want the first lady to appear.

This is known as piling on and it got tiresome from the very beginning in 2016. Our “Superiors” don’t know when enough is enough.

Lots of mistakes in the article. The "sepulchral Trump, looking hardly different from Bela Lugosi" is Rudy Giuliani and the "woman of advanced age works a bellows to prime the fire to ever higher" is Trump. as #3 mentions. The "four wine goblets" are martini glasses. The lampshade is a coronavirus. There's a picture of what looks like Sidney Powell on the wall. Someone upstairs is reading Q posts. Not sure who's upstairs dusting, presumably to hide our president's misdeeds, but they've got that completely wrong; should be the feds dumping dirt. What about the alligator?

This cover has about the same degree of importance as the Time person of the year cover or the Nobel Peace Prize.

A woman works the bellows? A woman in a wheelchair? While the figure in the wheelchair could be an elderly person of either sex, the figure working the bellows is pretty clearly a man. And the 'Bela Lugosi' figure isn't Trump, but very clearly Giuliani.
The New Yorker's editorial commentary isn't the only thing off target in this piece. But Merry Christmas, anyway.

A magazine for those who have the “Hate has no home here” yard signs.
Only benefit of Covid-19 is the elimination of left wing magazines such as The New Yorker, Newsweek and Time from the waiting rooms of doctors and hospitals. What’s weird is that The New Yorker was once a hefty magazine thanks to advertisers seeking its upscale audience. It is now paper thin as readers and advertisers abandoned it.

#11 nails it: 'A magazine for those who have the “Hate has no home here” yard signs.'
A neighbor along my dog walk route has a lawn packed with lighted Christmas-themed decor. They also have tinsel around their Biden/Harris sign on the front door, and another that says "Bye,Don" under a swoop of yellow hair. Prominently in the property's corner along the sidewalk is a Nativity scene. I look at Baby Jesus, the Savior whose mother chose to allow him to be born.
What does he think about the people who so openly revel in displaying their support for two soulless Swamp creatures who would have no problem with his skull being crushed or spine cut so the woman wouldn't have to be burdened by his being born? I can't bear it.

What do you expect from Progressives with raging cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome. The next cover will probably depict Joe Biden as God incarnate.

Interestingly that the New Year is a black baby possibly suggesting that 2021 is the year of the Negro ... as if we aren't deluged with TV and print advertising usually depicting the protagonist as a black. If there is even one White person in the presentation, they are depicted as the dumba$$.
SMH ...

We are surrounded by so many weak minded fools. People who whine about TV and then become zombies to it. EVERY liberal goes all in 24/7 with deranged hate for Trump and anyone who supports him. They feed on truly idiotic stories about how he hides tax cheating. A billionaire businessman has the kind of review of his financial dealings that require many highly paid accountants/advisors/lawyers. Do any of these outraged morons think the IRS doesn't spend extra hours pouring over a rich man's return? Do any of them every wonder if any member of congress gets this kind of attention? Of course not. The TV didn't tell them to think about the purely political slant of every neocommunist liberal, leftist, lie. They giggle at very stupid cliches like this while the ruling class destroys their lives. It never occurs to them to thank the man who momentarily called out the jackals of the media and who, for a moment, made the USA a country in control of it's future, instead of a puppet by very sick, dangerous, globalists.

These are the people that say we shouldn't hate. They really need to step back and look at themselves to see real irrational hate.

I am so not impressed with Marion's use of words. Leave the Jews out of it.
