Bloomberg Get Frisky


If Joe Biden's opposition to busing in the 1970s hurt him in the 2020 Democratic primaries, then former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Stop-and-Frisk program should devastate him. An audio clip surfaced of Bloomberg saying in 2015, that he deployed "all the cops in minority neighborhoods because that’s where they’ll find all the crime."... Continue Reading →

An Autocratic Pickle


Kellyanne Conway, White House Counselor (which is another absurdity of the Trump administration) attempted to downplay Donald Trump's autocratic retribution against his enemies. Trump removed Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman from his detail at the White House on the National Security Council and removed Gordon Sondland from his post as Ambassador to the European Union. Both... Continue Reading →

MAGA Virus


Is MAGA contagious? Before Trump won his party's nomination, the majority of Republican officeholders were against his candidacy. Lindsey Graham called him a racist. Paul Ryan said his comments were the definition of racism. Nikki Haley said his "siren call" was dangerous. Ted Cruz called him a "sniveling coward." Marco Rubio made fun of the...

The Republican God


Here’s your cartoon for CNN’s weekly newsletter, Provoke/Persuade. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday for the rest of your life. I'm going to use this cartoon to digress and rant on something that kinda annoys me. The thing that annoys me about Trump supporters is that they have to pretend Donald Trump is a...

Roughing It, Volume 31


Kids! It's time for another walk through my butcher shop and see how the meat's made. Be careful as it can get nasty. Watch where you step. I sent this idea to CNN and my editor really liked it. My editor's only question was, "where are those two guys on the lower right?" It was... Continue Reading →

Trump Bloodletting


Who's going to get frogmarched out of the White House next, the photographer? In voting against impeachment, Maine Senator Susan Collins felt Donald Trump had been punished enough and said part of the reason she voted for acquittal was that he had "learned his lesson." That's as naive as believing the Justice Department will investigate... Continue Reading →

Bullshit Corinthians


If you read this blog on a regular basis, then you're probably well-read enough politically to be familiar with the argument Republicans have been pushing over the past few years that the Democratic Party created the Ku Klux Klan. You'll see it in memes and in videos created by Prager U., a conservative outfit that's... Continue Reading →

Acquitted


After O.J. Simpson was acquitted of double murder in 1995, he probably threw a victory party. But I bet even O.J.'s party wasn't as vindictive and petty as Donald Trump's. It probably didn't have as many Big Macs either. Donald Trump went after all his enemies. He said Speaker Nancy Pelosi was a "horrible person"... Continue Reading →

Menacing Mittens


Today, Mitt Romney, Republican Senator from Utah and former presidential candidate, voted to convict Donald Trump on one charge of impeachment. Mitt Romney exercised his conscience, dignity, and independence which are all things the Republican Party had thought they had eradicated. I thought they had eradicated it too. On Wednesday, every single Republican Senator voted... Continue Reading →

Iowa


Screw you, Iowa. It's not like you didn't have time to prepare. Nothing snuck up on you because you've had the distinction of being the first state to vote since 1972. And you decided to use an app you had more difficulty navigating than an elderly man ordering Uber Eats. The vote was Monday. It's... Continue Reading →
