100 WTFs

Rolling Stone has put together a list of 100 WTF moments during the first 100 days of the Trump presidency.

First 100 Days

Today is the 100th day of Trump’s presidency. I wouldn’t pay that much attention to the first hundred days of any presidency, except that Donald Trump keeps talking about it. First he kept promising all the things he would positively, definitely do in the first 100 days of his presidency (none of which he has […]

Aliens!

The White House announced a new hotline to help victims or witnesses report crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. You know, because 911 wasn’t enough. Well, unless if your goal was to foster racism and xenophobia. After all, studies have shown that illegal immigrants are far less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans (other than […]

In the Way?

© Lee Judge One day after trying to fund the wall, Donald Trump backed off and said he would do it later. Sorry, Trump voters, you got scammed. This is happening more and more, and seems to be some kind of strategy for Trump. He proposes something that he knows will not pass, doesn’t really […]

Weaponizing Nonsense

© Tom Tomorrow Ironically, this comic is an example of the very thing it is making fun of. According to Tom Tomorrow: This cartoon was initially inspired by Trump’s “Obama tapped my wires” tweets, and the laughably supportive GOP response.

[Jokes from Mar. 7, 2017] Yesterday, House Republicans unveiled their new healthcare plan intended to replace Obamacare. Oh yeah, it’s brilliant. The previous healthcare plan was nicknamed “Obamacare,” and if this new plan doesn’t work, it will be nicknamed “Obama’s Fault”. – James Corden House Republicans have unveiled their much-anticipated new healthcare plan that’s supposed […]

The Noise Machine

© Ruben Bolling I don’t know if it is intentional or just a byproduct of his need for constant attention, but Donald Trump has been extremely successful at manipulating the 24 hour news cycle.
