Those who work as spokespersons in politics refer to what they do as spinning. Technically, it's propaganda but it can be done where you never lie. The real art of spinning is to not tell the truths that hurt your message. You tell the truths that help your agenda and leave out those that don't.... Continue Reading →
The Mueller Report is not vindication or exoneration of Donald Trump. It paints Trump as a president who engaged in a coverup, attempted to obstruct justice, directed others to obstruct justice, and repeatedly lied to the American people.

This is a good day for Donald Trump and his supporters. Not because he's innocent, or there was no collusion or obstruction, or that he's been exonerated. It's a good day because they will win the spin. Already, they're lying about what the Mueller Report says. They're claiming exoneration when the report is clear he... Continue Reading →
While talking to my producer at CNN on Thursday afternoon, we were discussing the best subjects for this Sunday's cartoon. We both liked one particular issue and thought it had the most potential for humor while acknowledging the Mueller Report was hanging over our heads. I told her, "those fuckers will probably release it at... Continue Reading →
