This was drawn for CNN's weekly opinion newsletter, Provoke/Persuade which you should sign up for. Judge T.S. Ellis ignored sentencing guidelines and only gave former Trump Campaign manager Paul Manafort 47 months in prison. If you're a Republican, that's a little less than four years. Manafort committed several crimes, deliberately over several years, and the... Continue Reading →
Heed The Tramp Stamp
As I was wrapping up this cartoon, Trump was on TV surrendering to Nancy Pelosi, thus proving this entire Trump shutdown was a huge waste of time over his ego. In fact, he's still ranting as I'm writing this. I don't think he can rant his ass out of eating shit today. If anything, Roger... Continue Reading →
Trippy Testimony
Donald Trump has either lived a life dreaming of being a third-rate mobster or he actually is a third-rate mobster. But, you can't be a mobster without goons, and guess what. Trump has goons. Enter Rudy Giuliani (among others). When the Special Counsel Robert Mueller finally issues his report, obstruction of justice will surely be... Continue Reading →
Individual One
Federal prosecutors have now accused Donald Trump, who is still president of the United States by some bad joke perpetrated by the universe, of committing two felonies. What Trump did was direct his lawyer/fixer Michael Cohen to make illegal payments to a porn star and a Playmate who were threatening his presidential campaign in 2016.... Continue Reading →
Manafort Flips
Last August, Donald Trump tweeted, "I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. 'Justice' took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to 'break' - make up stories in order to get a 'deal.' Such respect for a brave... Continue Reading →
Strzok Gets Struck
Peter Strzok was an FBI agent with 22 years experience who had investigated Russian spies, defense officials accused of selling secrets to China and other assorted cases of extreme importance. He was also the agent in charge of investigating Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State and the Russia... Continue Reading →
Wonderful Son
The Donald Trump presidential campaign did not have any contacts with anyone from the Russian government. OK, they did but it wasn't anything significant. Except, it was in Trump Tower which was the campaign headquarters for the Trump campaign. Oh, and the meeting was attended by Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and then-campaign manager Paul...

Sorry Giuliani
I think the most amazing thing about the current Rudy Giuliani disaster tour is that it's still going. Doesn't a tire fire eventually burn out? After joining Trump's legal defense team, Rudy went on Hannity's show on Trump TV and threw their entire strategy out the window. For the rest of Trump's legal team, it... Continue Reading →
Spies Like Us
The priorities for the Trump administration and the entire Republican Party are seriously messed up. When the press reports that a White House staffer dissed Senator and Vietnam veteran John McCain by saying, "he's dying anyway," the outrage isn't directed at the staffer, who still has her job, but at the leaker. Now it's reported... Continue Reading →
Butt No Collusion
Trump lies. According to one count in the media (yeah, fake news), he averages six and a half lies a day. It's been said that the one person you don't lie to is your lawyer. But what happens when you not only lie to your lawyers but you ignore their advice and torpedo your own... Continue Reading →
