There's no better example everything Trump touches turns to crap than Rudy Giuliani. Do you remember when this guy was "America's mayor"? After 9/11, Rudy was one of the most admired people in the nation. This country rallied around him. Now, it's like the Trump administration needed a raving, bat-shit crazy lunatic to defend the...

A Trump Favor
I give up. I'm done arguing with the MAGA heads and sycophants. I'm tired of pointing out the obvious to them when they refuse to believe their own eyes. They say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink, and the Trump cult is only parched for orange Kool-Aid. They... Continue Reading →
Ring-a-Ling Zelensky
Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, is about to learn the hard way that everything Donald Trump touches...dies. Zelensky ran on a campaign of fighting corruption. So imagine his horror when the transcript of his phone call with Donald Trump was released exposing him patronizing Trump's conspiracy theories as well as expressing a willingness to...

A Peachy Deal
Under federal law, whistleblower complaints in the intelligence community are to be delivered to the inspector general. The inspector general has 14 days to determine if the allegations amount to an "urgent concern," meaning they relate to abuse, violation of federal law or executive order in regards to national intelligence involving classified information (in case...

Trump’s Listening Tour
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump asked Russia to help his election by requesting they hack and release Hillary Clinton's missing emails. He began his request, publicly on a microphone, with, "Russia, if you're listening..." Later that same day, Russia started hacking the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign. Trump would later wave... Continue Reading →

Roughing It, Volume Thirteen
Here are a few roughs from last week. My editors at CNN wanted something on the Democratic debate. As you will see, I threw them a few on other issues as well, but we did pick one on the intended target. I picked the infamous "mustache ride" cartoon over this one. One of my copy...

What Kind Of Flood?
Honestly, when "breaking news" about Texas was announced on my TV Thursday, I half expected it to be another mass shooting. While flooding is terrible, especially for Houston which is still recovering from a flood two years ago, it was kinda refreshing that breaking news out of Texas wasn't about a mass shooting. This is... Continue Reading →
Whistleblower Left Hanging
Even before anyone seriously thought Donald Trump would ever be president, we knew it would be a disaster because he'd eventually break the law. We knew he'd break the law intentionally because he's a conman, and inadvertently because he's stupid. What we did not count on was the entire system of checks and balances caving...
