And you thought "Freedom Fries" was ridiculous. Back when we invaded Iraq and France thought it was a bad idea, conservatives initiated an I-Hate-France-And-All-Things-French campaign, forgetting that without France, we wouldn't have won the American Revolution against our English overlords. I never heard the term "frog" for the French until the Iraq war. Maybe I... Continue Reading →
Mueller Speaks
Special Counsel Robert Mueller finally spoke and what he said without saying it is that Attorney General William Barr is a filthy, sycophantic liar helping Donald Trump engage in a PR campaign to mislead the American people. Mueller doesn't want to speak beyond yesterday's quickie press conference, where he didn't take questions, or testify before... Continue Reading →
Face-Melting Diplomacy
National security adviser John Bolton is a war hawk. Even though he personally refused to fight in Vietnam and admitted he joined the Maryland National Guard to avoid fighting, he's advocated for sending American troops to die in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Yemen, Venezuela, and North Korea. Like most Republican war hawks, he thinks it's... Continue Reading →
Low IQ Dotard
While in Japan, Donald Trump reminded us of two of the many reasons he doesn't have the character required of an American president. First, he engaged in politics against a political rival on foreign soil. That's always been a no-no in American politics. You don't go on foreign soil and attack Americans. When you go...

Trumped Up Brexit
Voters in the United Kingdom can be just as poorly informed as their counterparts in the United States. They can also be just as easily manipulated by Russian troll farms. While the European Union isn't perfect and there are serious issues for each nation involved to resolve, it's stupid for the United Kingdom to leave... Continue Reading →
Vouching For The Stable Genius
Here’s your weekly cartoon for CNN’s weekly newsletter, Provoke/Persuade. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday for the rest of your life. I am very happy CNN chose this cartoon out of the ten or so ideas I had sent them. In fact, it may be the last idea I sent their way. I think... Continue Reading →
More Butt For Barr
Once again, Donald Trump is politicizing the Justice Department, just like he promised he would as a candidate. Trump has given Attorney General William Barr sweeping authority to declassify information related to the Russian investigation. This move frightens the intelligence community. It endangers sources, methods, and threatens to manipulate the intelligence that's been gathered for... Continue Reading →
Drawing On A Train
I'm posting this here in case you don't follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or in general like a stalker. On Wednesday, I took an Amtrak to Raleigh, North Carolina. I planned to draw a cartoon in my hotel room that night, work on ideas with CNN on Thursday, attend an event Thursday night, then... Continue Reading →
What’s Your Twenty?
When the Obama administration announced that Andrew Jackson would be removed from the twenty dollar bill and replaced with Harriet Tubman, a hero who helped lead 300 slaves to freedom through the Underground Railroad, then private citizen and all-around racist asshole Donald Trump said it was political correctness. It is not political correctness to remove... Continue Reading →
Shake It For Trump
Donald Trump is the boy who cried, "Infrastructure Week" as in, he never had any intention of working on infrastructure with Speaker Nancy Pelosi or Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The Democrats went to the White House to work with Trump on infrastructure, something he claims he'd be very good at because he lives in... Continue Reading →
