Will it Ever End?

It is more likely that Fox News ends up with a replacement for Tucker Carlson who is just as bad as him, and maybe even worse. It’s just locked into the genes of Fox News. They need toxic lies, in order to keep their rabid base watching.

The Empire Strikes Back!

Florida is the state where tin-pot dictators go to die. Just ask Ronald D. DeSantis, who is about to have his future completely destroyed by Disney (the very model of a Mickey Mouse outfit). You don’t mess with the mouse! You have almost certainly heard about the fight between DeSantis and Disney. Let me just […]

How To Become MAGA!

You just need these cool new glasses that you can buy from Trump’s campaign! And all the other insidious menaces that vie for your attention, now including Nuclear Warming! Trans Athletes (because we can’t complain about gay people anymore)! Disney World! You can learn to love Putin and Russia! And you’ll need to buy yourself […]

It’s all about the Grift!

Usually, when you see that word, you think about Donald Trump, but not this week! The grifter supreme right now is Clarence Thomas. Thomas was young and inexperienced when he was nominated to the Supreme Court by George H. W. Bush, having spent only one year as a judge. He was confirmed, despite attorney Anita […]

Our Own “Profoundly Stupid Person”

Hopefully you missed it, but Donald Trump had a lengthy interview with Tucker Carlson this week. And apparently, Jimmy Kimmel was not impressed. For example, Trump claimed that “the biggest problem we have in the whole world” is “not global warming. It’s nuclear warming”. There’s just one problem with this problem. It doesn’t exist. It’s […]

SNL Trumps Easter!

Another case of not being able to distinguish satire from reality?

Grumpy Trumpy Felon!

While the media televises Trump taking his limousine in NYC (yawn), Randy Rainbow provides us with some real entertainment.

Indictment!

Yesterday morning, I published two cartoons about Donald Trump getting indicted. I actually wrote it the night before, but published it early the next morning. And lo and behold, a few hours later, Trump was indicted. Coincidence? I like to think not! But I know what you are thinking. Trump has been able to wiggle […]

The Two Americas

Donald Trump is claiming that the investigations into his crimes are a “witch hunt” against a presidential candidate. But his followers don’t seem to see the gross hypocrisy of their (and Trump’s) calls in 2016 to throw Hillary Clinton in jail. But even worse, Trump seems to be claiming that a president, even after he […]

Going Down!

Two stories paint a dismal picture of the good old USA. The first is a study that shows that while life expectancy around the world decreased in 2020 due to COVID-19, most countries were able to reverse the trend and increase life expectancy by 2021, while the US continued to drop precipitously, down to the […]

Tuckered Out

I have nothing to add to this cartoon: Why does anyone believe anything Tucker Carlson says? Not to mention the other “entertainers” on Fox News.

Short Attention Span Economics

In 2008, the dot.com meltdown cratered a bunch of tech companies. In response, Obama got Dodd-Frank passed, to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. Then Donald Trump got elected, and he repealed almost all of Dodd-Frank. Now, the same thing that happened in 2008 happened again. If Dodd-Frank were still law, the Silicon Valley Bank […]

Rats Deserting a Sinking Ship

Former VP Mike Pence is not the first member of the administration of Donald Trump to attack their former boss, but he is the first presidential contender to do so. At the annual Gridiron dinner for journalists, Pence said: History will hold Donald Trump accountable for Jan. 6. Make no mistake about it: What happened […]

Ratings Uber Alles

I’m sure most of you know about the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against Fox “News” Corporation, which claims that FNC defamed Dominion by spreading lies that Dominion’s voting machines deliberately switched Trump votes to Biden votes. You probably even saw the recent news that everyone at FNC — including management from the top on down, […]
