Check out the merch for this cartoon. In 2016, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, said, "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president." McConnell was talking about the vacancy created by the death of... Continue Reading →
Learning From Trump
Here’s your 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. When Donald Trump says, "Believe me," it means he's telling a lie. When Donald Trump says something is "beautiful," it means it's a train wrecking into a mountain of shit on fire. When...

Supreme Gaydar
Right now, someone at Hobby Lobby is crying their homophobic balls off. The Supreme Court decided by a 6-3 margin, that the 1964 Civil Rights Act also protects gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination. Let me put this so the fucknuts can comprehend it: Your boss can't fire you for being gay...so you can... Continue Reading →
Purging With Ginni
Donald Trump believes Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor should recuse themselves from all cases involving him. If that actually happened, he'd be winning all his cases, in the worst-case scenario, by a 4-3 vote. There's already a conservative majority on the bench. Most cases go 5-4 for conservatives. But, there are... Continue Reading →
Digging Morbid Holes
In 2009, after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Senator Jim Bunning said, "Even though she was operated on, usually nine months is the longest that anybody would live." Bunning was openly licking his chops at the opportunity to get rid of a Supreme Court justice as liberal as Ginsburg. Today, Bunning is dead and... Continue Reading →
Extreme Supremes
Take heart, America. The Supreme Court's decision, which they came out of their summer break to render, isn't as bad as you think. Oh, it's bad. It's a terrible, rotten, stupid, partisan decision delivered by five extreme supremes, but there's more context to it than the headlines are delivering. Since I'm a simple-minded political cartoonist... Continue Reading →
Disenfranchise Now, Take Names Later
The Supreme Court ruled today that courts have no business deciding gerrymandering cases. Irony. Writing the majority opinion, which was 5-4 and decided entirely by Republican-nominated justices, Roberts wrote that courts should stay out of politics. Keep in mind, they would not have won this decision if Mitch McConnell and the Republicans had not practiced... Continue Reading →
Stressing RBG
Writer Morgan Jerkins recently wrote for The Washington Post that obsessing over the health of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is bad for democracy, bad for her, and bad for us. I totally agree with that, but what is also bad for us is the presidency of one Donald J. Trump. After having a... Continue Reading →
The Ralph Club
I wasn't alone in feeling sick to my stomach Saturday with the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. There's just something especially nauseating about an entitled, prep school, trust-fund baby with accusations of sexual assault being placed on the highest court in the land by another entitled, prep school, trust-fund baby with his...

Fake Investigation
The Federal Bureau of Investigations did about as thorough of a job investigating sexual allegations against SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh as O.J. Simpson did in his search for the "real killers." Originally, Donald Trump said he wouldn't ask the FBI to extend its background investigation on Kavanaugh, as it wasn't what they do. Republicans echoed... Continue Reading →
