Congratulation, Meghan Markle. You are now Yoko Ono. Is it fair? Of course not. Last week I thought, "Here come the Yoko comparisons," and within ten minutes, I saw the memes. A staunch conservative friend of mine who doesn't fit the stereotype (not religious, has gay friends, appreciates good music, has never posted anything about... Continue Reading →
Roughing It, Volume 27
Can you believe it's only been a little over a week since the entire Iran thing happened? Yeah, look it up. It was last Thursday that Soleimani was assassinated on Donald Trump's orders. Since that happened last Thursday night, that canceled out everything I roughed out on Thursday. The main issue I was focusing on... Continue Reading →
Worst Security Briefing Ever
We've talked about this. You can't just lie nilly-willy regarding national security and foreign policy the same way you do about crowd sizes and TV ratings. Wednesday in a closed-door briefing for Congress, officials in the Trump administration laid out the justifications for the U.S. drone strike that killed Iran's top military commander. Many representatives... Continue Reading →
Imminent Lies
Would Donald Trump blame Meghan Markle for her and Prince Harry's decision to leave the Royal Family? Trump? Blame a black woman for something? Duh! It's not like it'd be the first time...or the second, or the third, or the fourth, or the...etc, etc. After all, he is afraid of strong black women. They're "nasty."... Continue Reading →
More Fun With Sharpies
You would think if someone is justified in their actions, then they wouldn't have to lie to support them. Even with issues as serious as foreign policy and national security, Donald Trump lies. This week, Donald Trump's lies and misrepresentation of President Barack Obama's record resembles what he did to that weather map with a... Continue Reading →
Trust-Fund Royalty
I had an excellent blog planned out in my head and I started on this cartoon at 5:30 a.m. Then, something struck in my stomach and I've been laid out nearly all day. I don't know if it's the cheeseburger I had last night or that I had two of them. At any rate, no... Continue Reading →
Reasonable Radicals
I am not defending Iran. They have instigated a lot of what's happening right now. They are radical and religious fundamentalists. They will probably strike again but through their proxies. And we will probably strike back through our proxies (Yes. We have them too). But you have irrational Iran, with whom it took months if... Continue Reading →
The Iran Card
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. Donald Trump has made it clear his assassination (and yes. It was an assassination) has nothing to do with anything except his impeachment. Donald Trump can't stop his impeachment because it's already happened. He... Continue Reading →
Imminent Attack
John Bolton, Trump's former National Security Adviser, now says he'll testify during Trump's impeachment trial if the Senate subpoenas him. Keep in mind, the Senate is controlled by Republicans who don't want anything that even slightly resembles a fair trial. And what would happen if the Senate did send Bolton a subpoena? Bolton was in... Continue Reading →
McRevenge
Even when it comes to war, Donald Trump fails at being presidential or even at maturity. He threatened Iran by saying he has 52 targets. That's the number of hostages taken by Iran in 1979. He also threatened to hit Iranian cultural sites, which would be a war crime. But his hit of Soleimani may... Continue Reading →
