Eric Trump went on Sean Hannity's Fox News show a couple nights ago and pushed the laughable idea that his father was tough on Putin and the Russian dictator never would have considered invading Ukraine while Eric's daddy was president (sic). Eric said, "My father would have called up and would have said, ‘Vladimir, don’t... Continue Reading →

Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday. I kinda suspect my editor picked this solely on "SS Harumph."

Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday. We picked a good time to do a cartoon on gas prices as I didn't see many if any, in relation to the war in Ukraine, before we published this on Sunday. But the very next day,... Continue Reading →
Blame Putin
This entire war is Vladimir Putin's fault. It's not the fault of Ukraine. It's not the fault of NATO. It's not the fault of Bananarama. And it's not the fault of President Joe Biden. Yet, conservatives keep trying to latch on to a way to blame President Biden, and they keep coming up empty. The... Continue Reading →
Ya Ukrayinets’
President Joe Biden delivered his first State of the Union speech last night, and he delivered. Last night, we saw leadership from an American president. It was refreshing.

This current beef is over the... Continue Reading →

Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva, who is only 15, failed a drug test but will be allowed to compete anyway. Sure, the medication was a performance-enhancing drug, but it's not like she's a black athlete caught smoking pot. Valieva may not be the bad guy in this as it's possible she wasn't even aware she...

Color GOP Sexy
Republicans are having racist conniption fits over President Joe Biden's pledge to nominate a black woman to fill the vacancy left on the Supreme Court by Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement. They're trying to mask their opposition to Biden's promise by claiming it's about choosing the most qualified person to sit on the highest court in... Continue Reading →
Breyer Retires
President Joe Biden gets a Supreme Court pick and there's very little Republicans can do to stop it. Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring and he's picked the right time to do it because by this time next year, Republicans may control the Senate again, and despite there being two years left in President Biden's term,...
