Donald Trump has always believed himself to be better than anyone, so much so that he sees himself as royalty. When he lied and claimed President Obama "bugged" Trump Tower, he said it was treason. If Obama had bugged Trump Tower (he didn't), why would it be treason? Treason can only be committed during war... Continue Reading →
To briefly sum up what the Supreme Court ruled yesterday, that presidents have immunity from committing criminal acts... bullshit. As Sarah Marshall said in the fantastic film Forgetting Sarah Marshall, "Bullshit, bullshit bullshit, bullshit." SCOTUS' ruling contains more bullshit than the hodgepodge of tattoos on Aldous Snow, Sarah Marshall's drug-addicted walking petri dish of various... Continue Reading →
Today, the United States Supreme Court declared that Trump is king and that anything he did while he was president is legal. The court split 6-3 along ideological lines in finding that a president is a) absolutely immune for actions taken while exercising his “core constitutional powers” and b) entitled to the presumption of immunity...

This is a local cartoon drawn for the Fredericksburg Advance. This issue is especially complicated with lots of nuts and bolts, so I'm not going to spend two hours or more trying to explain it. To understand it better, take it from Advance writer Adele Uphaus. But the gist is that the new development, Mary's... Continue Reading →

This will be a short blog because this cartoon took six hours to draw and it's a Sunday. I'd like to do something else today. While we were all focused on the aftermath of Thursday night's debate, SCOTUS snuck in a ruling that the two corrupt insurrectionist justices, Clarence and Sammy, should have recused themselves...

Gish Gallop is described as an "overwhelming an interlocutor with as many arguments as possible, without regard for accuracy or strength of the arguments. This is especially disingenuous when the interlocutor is not allowed to interrupt and address the arguments, as in formal debate or in writing. To the spectator unfamiliar with this strategy, the...

As stated in the last blog, I'm splitting all the roughs I drew into two blogs. This is part deux. I started this batch on a Thursday in a hotel bar in Washington, DC. It continued on a train. It finished in my apartment. I started very early and finished very late. Of course, these... Continue Reading →
Donald Trump didn't have a good debate tonight. He rambled, lied, made personal attacks, and refused to answer several questions. He had to be asked three times if he'd accept the election results no matter the outcome. At one point, he boasted about winning golf tournaments at his own clubs. He didn't have a good...

Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy wants tobacco-like warning labels for social media because it's bad for your health. It's indeed bad for your health but I'm OK. I can stop anytime. Hack, hack, hack. In a column for The New York Times, Dr. Murthy wrote, "It is time to require a surgeon general’s warning label... Continue Reading →
