David French asked a couple of very good questions in his column titled "A Guilty Ex-President" in today's New York Times. He points out that Republicans will either ignore the jury's verdict that Donald Trump sexually assaulted and defamed E. Jean Carroll or they'll claim, without evidence, the jury was biased against Trump. Marco Rubio... Continue Reading →
Shut-Ups From Heaven
I'm surprised Republicans still push the "thoughts and prayers" line. No, I don't expect them to drop it in place for actual solutions to gun violence. I'm just surprised that after it's been mocked so much and pointed out that it's an empty answer, that they haven't replaced it with another empty solution. Thoughts and... Continue Reading →
Court Auction
We've covered this before, but Clarence Thomas is corrupt. He's also inconsistent. He says it's OK if a billionaire pays for his vacations and lavishes him with gifts as long as that billionaire doesn't have cases before the court. But his wife is involved with cases that came before the court yet Clarence didn't recuse... Continue Reading →
Coronation
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday King Charles' coronation is probably the first most of us have seen of a British monarch. And I got to watch it with old friends and some new ones which was a lot of fun. As I... Continue Reading →
Immigrant Gun Control
After a mass shooter killed five people last week in Cleveland, Texas, Republicans were quick to point out that the shooter might be an undocumented migrant. Texas Governor Greg Abbott went so far as to call all five victims "illegal immigrants," and continued with his political stunt of deporting migrants to Chicago a few days... Continue Reading →
Roughs, Volume 181
Most of these were drawn last Friday, April 28. My editor at CNN assigned me to do a cartoon on the bankruptcy of Bed, Bath, and Beyond. This was my favorite of my submissions, but it wasn't selected. This was drawn a few days before the rest here. I wasn't really into this cartoon but... Continue Reading →
Just His Type
When E. Jean Carroll's allegation that Donald Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s first emerged, his first defense was that she wasn't his type. Trump told a news outlet in 2019, "I’ll say it with great respect: Number one, she’s not my type. Number two, it never happened." It... Continue Reading →
Seditiously Getting It On
What the Proud Boys did on Jauary 6, 2020, sounds more like seditious conspiracy than Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" sounds like Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." As well as being a cartoonist with sloppy art skills, I'm also a musician with sloppy guitar skills. I have been drawing cartoons long enough that when... Continue Reading →
Scabbing With Tucker
Learning that there's racism within Fox News is like Captain Renault In Casablanca discovering there's gambling at Rick's. "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on here!" Newly revealed racist text from Tucker Carlson to a Fox News producer reportedly "alarmed" the Fox board when they first heard of it. Really? Alarmed? Shocked... Continue Reading →
Putin-Approved Targets
Russia claims that Ukraine attacked the Kremlin overnight with two drones in an assassination attempt on the life of President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine says it did not do it as they don't have enough weaponry to even defend itself, less enough to attack a target 0ver 530 miles from Ukraine's border (I research). Russia has...
