I saw a political cartoon this morning drawn by an idiot. In it, he accused Democrats of being upset that the U.S. military killed al-Baghdadi. I've seen a few other conservative cartoons kinda sorta insinuate that point, but this one flat-out stated it. What that means is, Republicans were very upset when the U.S. military,...

Lesbian Bong Blow
Revenge porn is despicable, ugly, and unethical. So naturally, Republicans are all over it. California representative Katie Hill has resigned after revelations were made that while she was a candidate, she and her husband were mutually involved in an extramarital relationship with a female campaign staffer. Hill has acknowledged this. Her estranged husband has claimed... Continue Reading →
Traitors For Trump
This is where you're supposed to stand up for what's right. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman is a decorated Iraq war veteran. He's an expert on Ukraine serving on the National Security Council in the White House. Now, he's being smeared as a "Never Trumper" and even a traitor. His crime? Speaking out in a sense...

Boo Hoo Hoo
Trump and his supporters point to his MAGA hate rallies as proof of his popularity when arguing he's going to win reelection in a landslide. If you're promoting an album and your tour sells out every arena, congratulations. You have a hit album. Though a venue may have 14,000 seats, the cities they're in are... Continue Reading →
AL MAGA Daddy
The killing of an international terrorist on the FBI's most-wanted list would be a win for any president and an opportunity to be presidential. In moments of successes like this, as it was for President Obama with the death of Osama bin Laden or even a failure like the one Jimmy Carter suffered from a... Continue Reading →
Did You NAZI The News?
Donald Trump demands complete and total loyalty. He believes any attacks on him are attacks on America because he's America. He doesn't want independent thought in the Republican Party, deeming those who criticize him as "Never Trumpers" and "human scum." It's as if not being a member of his cult takes away the critic's credibility.... Continue Reading →
Roughing It, Volume 18
Last week for CNN, I was focused on White House chief-of-staff Mick Mulvaney's quid pro quo confession. Here the roughs from that session with my editors. This is the one we went with. My editor for the week (it rotates), Jane, suggested I throw in "get over it" to the text in the second panel... Continue Reading →
Butt Dial Rudy
Where hasn't Rudy Giuliani stuck his ass since Donald Trump became president? While Republicans are complaining that diplomats are "unelected," unelected Rudy Giuliani is engaging in shadow diplomacy in Ukraine and other nations while also working on his personal business deals. Is he working for the State Department or as Trump's personal attorney? It's confusing... Continue Reading →
Human Scum
Lindsey Graham has been representing South Carolina in Congress since 1995, and he doesn't want to stop. If advocating a principle, even one he used to stand by, threatens his political existence, then principles be damned. In 2015, while running for president and describing what Trump was "selling," Graham said, "Here’s what you’re buying: He’s... Continue Reading →
Republican Herd
When you can't counter facts and evidence, what do you do? You scream as loud as you can about the process, create a giant scene of faux outrage, and state a massive hissy fit. That's exactly what Matt Gaetz led House Republicans to do yesterday. Though Gaetz didn't stampede a herd of cattle through the... Continue Reading →
