Vice-President (sic) Mike Pence will preside when the Senate and House meet Wednesday, January 6, to certify the presidential election. It's a role every vice-president takes. Four years ago, Joe Biden presided over the Congressional certification of Donald Trump's victory (ugh). There have been a lot of questions over what Pence will do. There is... Continue Reading →
Trump Tapes
After hearing tapes of Donald Trump's call with Georgia's secretary of state, I'm even more convinced he's going to issue a self-pardon. On Saturday, Donald Trump called Brad Raffensperger, the secretary of state, and harangued the guy for over an hour. It was a phone call the secretary shouldn't have taken. Raffensperger was kind and... Continue Reading →
Josh’s Election Jacking
Michael Gerson addresses Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley's plan to object to the certification of Joe Biden's electoral college victory in his most recent column for The Washington Post. Gerson writes, "In the cause of his own advancement, the senator from Missouri is willing to endorse the disenfranchisement of millions of Americans — particularly voters... Continue Reading →
Buh-Bye, Blubber
I know. I know. Donald Trump weighs more than 243 pounds, but I'm going with what his doctor claims. When I came up with this idea (while trying to get one on another subject, as usual), my first thought was on how much to list his weight. I do my research so I looked up... Continue Reading →
May Old Trumpster Fires Be Forgot
Everyone pretty much agrees 2020 was the suck of all sucks when it comes to years. About the only people who disagree are billionaire assholes who were able to take advantage of a global pandemic to become bigger billionaire assholes. But we didn't just get a shitty year with 2020. We got shitty years in... Continue Reading →
Cult Or Country?
For years, decades even, Republicans were lying to us. They told us they were "fiscal" conservatives. They said they were for family values. They ran on religion as if the other party consisted entirely of heathens and atheists. They wrapped themselves in the flag and said they were more more patriotic than Democrats. And they...

Good Riddance, Trump Baby
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday. I'm probably going to do another New Year concept for my newspaper and website clients (they don't get my CNN cartoons) so I'm going to apologize now. I was trying to make Trump look like the Trump... Continue Reading →
Poker Face
When Congress sent a $900 billion stimulus bill to the White House, Donald Trump called it a "disgrace" and wailed that it contained too much pork and not enough money for individual taxpayers. He was upset the checks for Americans would only be $600 and not $2,000. This "disgrace" was a bill he had approved.... Continue Reading →
Terrorist-in-Chief
We still don't know who perpetrated the explosion in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning, or why. Authorities say it was an "intentional" explosion. Really? Ya' think? Perhaps it's not an act of terrorism and no targets were intended. It could have been more of a statement than an attempt to inflict actual damage or murder.... Continue Reading →
Moo Libel
You would think any half-ass lawyer would know they can't run around saying lies and unprovable things about people and corporations. That's libelous. You can get sued for that. When it comes to Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, I'd rather have the cow lawyer. Plus, the cow farts probably aren't as bad as... Continue Reading →
