The first of Donald Trump's four criminal trials began with jury selections in New York City today. Twelve jurors and six alternates will be chosen from hundreds of New Yorkers with about 500 being called each day and 100 brought into Judge Juan Merchan's courtroom at a time. This is going to take some work...and... Continue Reading →
Kevin Was Here
Before Speaker Mike Johnson made the required pilgrimage to MAGA-Lardo to kiss Trump's ass, hosts on Russian state TV discussed the meeting/ass-kissing as a deciding factor on whether Ukraine will receive more U.S. aid or not. While doing so, state TV host Olga Skabeeva claimed Johnson was "theirs," just like Trump. Johnson has been pushing... Continue Reading →
A Bucket For Marjorie
Maybe the right metaphor for Marjorie Taylor Greene is flying monkey. She's not human, which means this witch cartoon isn't sexist, and she does the bidding of Donald Trump, her cult master. Tomorrow, Speaker Mike Johnson will travel to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Trump's ass. Remind me how well that worked out for the last speaker,... Continue Reading →
Party Like It’s 1864
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled yesterday that a dormant law from 1864 banning nearly all abortions can be enforced, overruling a lower court decision that doctors can't be prosecuted for performing abortions after 15 weeks. The 1864 law provides no exceptions for rape or incest and allows abortions only if the mother’s life is in... Continue Reading →
MAGA State
Donald Trump issued a brand new position on abortion yesterday that doesn't work, angers the most radical of pro-lifers, gives another reason for women to vote against him, and is probably another lie. Screw probably. It is a lie. Trump was trying to have it both ways by saying abortion should be left up to... Continue Reading →
Shakey Conspiracy Theories
Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks Friday's earthquake and tomorrow's eclipse are signs from God. If that's the case and God is trying to tell us something, then it should be noted that the epicenter of the earthquake was about six miles from Trump's New Jersey BedBug and Breakfast golf course at Bedminster. A lightning bolt also... Continue Reading →
Ketchup Bath
I guess when Trump said there would be a bloodbath if he didn't get what he wanted, he was talking about the stocks in his media company. Or maybe he meant it would be a ketchup bath. Trump's media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, made a big debut last week on the Nasdaq stock... Continue Reading →
The Law-and-Order Terrorist
Donald Trump attended a funeral on Long Island for a New York City policeman who was killed in the line of duty. Trump used the cop's death to make a political statement, to contrast himself with President Joe Biden, and called for "law and order." The most bizarre thing about this is that the cop's...

April Fools 2024
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion Newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday I don't like to equate both sides as though they're equally bad, because they're not. Democrats are good at raising money but they're not the best at messaging. They're on the right side of the issues. They're on... Continue Reading →
He Is Grifting
As you probably already know, I'm not religious. I grew up in Christianity and I never bought into it. Even as a kid, I was extremely skeptical. I resisted being baptized and succeeded. To me, the Bible is nothing but a book full of fairy tales so it's probably appropriate Trump is selling a version... Continue Reading →
