Here's the thing about the Atlantic story about Donald Trump calling those who serve in the military "suckers" and "losers." It's believable. And Donald Trump's defense hasn't helped him. He was caught lying twice in his defense. What backs up the story isn't just that the anonymous sources are numerous, but that it's being backed... Continue Reading →
Ratty Intel
John Ratcliffe is the Director of National Intelligence. Why? It's not because of his experience in national security matters. It's not because of any experience he has in being intelligent. It's because he's a sycophant to Donald Trump. When he was being considered for the job, then-Congressman Ratcliffe lied about his experience in prosecuting terrorism... Continue Reading →
Once, Twice, Three Times a Trump Voter
Guess what. In the future, when nominees for the United States Attorney General are going through their Senate confirmation hearings, they will have to be asked if they're aware voting twice is illegal. No, seriously. This is another thing the Trump era has fucked up. William Barr, Donald Trump's favorite Droopy-lookalike saggy jowl toad, said... Continue Reading →
Choke
Donald Trump gave an interview to Fox News' Laura Ingraham that made even her eyes bulge out at times. As is usual for a Trump interview, he rambled incoherently, spread a conspiracy theory or two, exhibited tone-deafness, exhibited a touch of racism, praised himself, attacked his opponents and the media, lied, and said a bunch...

Flying Uglies
Full Disclosure. I drew a "fly, my pretties" cartoon last April. I was concerned it may be too soon for a repeat but one of my amazing proofers, Laura, told me, "April was forever ago and this is good." Honestly, I went with this because I liked the phrase, "Fly, my uglies" too much. The... Continue Reading →
Virtual Haters
I've heard some viewers of the Democratic National Convention say they preferred it without a live crowd. Not me. Speakers need momentum. Playing to a crowd helps with that more than talking to a camera. When it comes to sports, fans don't just make it more interesting, they're part of the game. Fans often distract...

Roughing It, Volume 61
Let's check out some roughs, Kids. And I drew a bunch of them. This was the idea CNN selected for last week's newsletter. I liked the way it turned out and I had a lot of fun with putting stuff on the signs. The only thing I missed with this was drawing these signs sticking... Continue Reading →
Better Off?
Before this week's Republican National Convention, Donald Trump complained that the Democratic National Convention was "dark and gloomy." Of course, we knew the DNC was a convention based more in reality that provided more facts. Donald Trump is a shitty president (sic) and a horrible and vile human being so when you talk about the...

The House That Trump Built
Republicans don't comprehend well. You can scream as loud as the banshee Don Jr is dating and they still wouldn't get it. For the past three nights, Republicans have used their convention to tell us Donald Trump is not a racist while not once showing any support for Black Lives Matter. Last night, not one...

Kenosha Commotion
With a cult following as stupid, racist, and reactionary as Donald Trump's, it's very dangerous when he encourages division and violence. Donald Trump telegraphs his people to incite violence and other times, he's not saying it clear. Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man was shot in the back at least seven times by the Kenosha,...
