MAGA Virus


Is MAGA contagious? Before Trump won his party's nomination, the majority of Republican officeholders were against his candidacy. Lindsey Graham called him a racist. Paul Ryan said his comments were the definition of racism. Nikki Haley said his "siren call" was dangerous. Ted Cruz called him a "sniveling coward." Marco Rubio made fun of the...

Roughing It, Volume 31


Kids! It's time for another walk through my butcher shop and see how the meat's made. Be careful as it can get nasty. Watch where you step. I sent this idea to CNN and my editor really liked it. My editor's only question was, "where are those two guys on the lower right?" It was... Continue Reading →

Trump Bloodletting


Who's going to get frogmarched out of the White House next, the photographer? In voting against impeachment, Maine Senator Susan Collins felt Donald Trump had been punished enough and said part of the reason she voted for acquittal was that he had "learned his lesson." That's as naive as believing the Justice Department will investigate... Continue Reading →

Bullshit Corinthians


If you read this blog on a regular basis, then you're probably well-read enough politically to be familiar with the argument Republicans have been pushing over the past few years that the Democratic Party created the Ku Klux Klan. You'll see it in memes and in videos created by Prager U., a conservative outfit that's... Continue Reading →

Acquitted


After O.J. Simpson was acquitted of double murder in 1995, he probably threw a victory party. But I bet even O.J.'s party wasn't as vindictive and petty as Donald Trump's. It probably didn't have as many Big Macs either. Donald Trump went after all his enemies. He said Speaker Nancy Pelosi was a "horrible person"... Continue Reading →

Menacing Mittens


Today, Mitt Romney, Republican Senator from Utah and former presidential candidate, voted to convict Donald Trump on one charge of impeachment. Mitt Romney exercised his conscience, dignity, and independence which are all things the Republican Party had thought they had eradicated. I thought they had eradicated it too. On Wednesday, every single Republican Senator voted... Continue Reading →

Ripping Trump A New One


Last night, Donald Trump delivered the most partisan, hateful, and divisive State of the Union since the one he delivered last year. If you didn't watch the speech, you probably haven't heard anyone cite anything specific he said. If you did watch the speech, you probably haven't talked about anything he said. Instead, you've talked... Continue Reading →

Can’t Find Kansas City


I don't know who has it harder, Trump supporters attempting to Trumpsplain his latest act of stupidity, the government agency tasked to argue that Missouri is Kansas, or future historians when they try to explain just how stupid our president (sic) truly was. This morning, I went to a few conservative friends' Facebook pages to... Continue Reading →

Leaping For Dershowitz


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. How can you say you're a liberal Democrat after looking at the Constitution and believing it allows an American president to be an authoritarian? That is the argument constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz is implementing... Continue Reading →

Cowards Of Historic Proportions


In 1950, as the Republican Party was abandoning what made it the party of Lincoln and well on its way to becoming the party of Nazis, Klansmen, Putin-lovers, and conspiracy-driven fucknuts, Joseph McCarthy, a Senator from Wisconson was in the midst of his red scare campaign. McCarthy was accusing Americans, usually without evidence, of being... Continue Reading →
