Rob, who drew the above cartoon, adds the following comment …
Trump allegedly cares so much about keeping illegal drugs out of America that he’s willing to commit murder, yet, he pardons a man responsible for importing 400 tons of cocaine to this country. And Biden is mentally impaired?!
What can one add to that?
Not much except perhaps, “Amen brother, you have truly nailed it“.
OK, let’s now take a quick tour of this past week’s notable examples of raw stupidity and crass ignorance that the administration has dished up.
Corruption on a truly epic scale
Via the supposedly rule-of-law party …
Pardoned …
Pardoned …
Everywhere you care to look you will find blatant corruption …
Corruption is now official policy …
Multiple layers of Lunacy and utter incompetence
The administration was already having trouble explaining exactly where all that money went. This should get interesting …
- What he did with tariffs was not only totally mad, but was also totally illegal.
As for the work on that ballroom, well guess who has stiffed the contractors …
As for a jobs report, the only reliable data we are going to get on it now comes from the private sector. bsky.app/profile/atru…
The FFS in Tariffs continue to deliver …
Climate change is causing a major crisis in U.S. home insurance, leading to soaring premiums, policy cancellations, and insurers withdrawing from high-risk areas (like Florida, California, Louisiana) due to more frequent and severe wildfires, hurricanes, and floods, making coverage unaffordable or unavailable, impacting home values, and straining local economies as homeowners face growing financial insecurity …
Pete’s War Crimes
Bragging about murdering people …
… and yes, Pete really has been murdering innocent fishermen …
Signal update …
- I’d place good money on a bet that the “But her emails” crowd will not be bothered in any way by this.
Pete also ordered that the military code was to be ignored, just obey …
Rob Rogers – “The illegal military strikes on Venezuelan boats by the U.S. military has landed Hegseth and Trump in hot water. Both men are cowardly trying to blame others for their war crimes. #Trump #Hegseth #NarcoTerrorists #Venezuela #BoatStrikes #WarCrimes #WarCrimesHegseth“
Stupidity+Ignorance Incarnate
Claim: Having Foreign born people will destroy US culture …
- Well hey Fox news, seven of the 39 signers of the Constitution (18%) were foreign born: – James McHenry, Pierce Butler, William Paterson and Thomas Fitzsimons were born in Ireland – Alexander Hamilton was born in the West Indies – Robert Morris was born in England – James Wilson was born in Scotland
ICE Gestapo updates
Keeping track of a fascist abuse …
- Link to article is here
- The people working for ICE do not have immunity – they will face legal consequences one day. They know this, that’s why they wear masks.
Healthcare Sickness
And this week’s dose of stupidity from RFK Jnr is this totally bogus claim…
… but there was also this as well …
Here is Bill Cassidy doing performative concern, and remember, he had the deciding vote to appoint RFK Jnr, and was warned what RFK Jnr would do, is a qualified medical doctor who should know better, and yet he still voted for him, and so here we are now …
We are now just a couple of weeks away from a “Massive crisis” Again: Making a broken system less bad is not enough. #MedicareForAllNOWwww.theatlantic.com/politics/202…
- Hey MAGA, this is on you, this is what you voted for.
Israel Updates
The peace deal has been a total farce …
Paint me Unsurprised
The Pipe Bomb guy is a Trump supporter …
MAGA Christian Cranks
The nuttier right-wing religious fanatics within the MAGA cult are as always doing their thing, and so here are this week’s samples.
It was really only a matter of time before Joel Webbon started embracing Holocaust revisionism.
- Why oh why is absolutely nobody surprised.
Lance Wallnau warns Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to stop attacking President Donald Trump: “Honor the king.“
- It’s not clear if “King” mans Jesus who supposedly chose Trump, or if he means Trump as a King. Not sure it really matters because neither is better than the other.
Mario Murillo warns that “Islam and Communism have joined forces to destroy America”: “The Muslim/Marxist revolution that began under Obama is having a massive resurgence because of the election of Zohran Mamdani.”
- “‘Massive resurgence’? If two New Yorkers win elections, that’s not a revolution — that’s a Tuesday.”
- So women, YOU change. You men? No pressure to work on your own pasty, doughy selves. It’s always women who have to adjust.
MAGA evangelist Mario Murillo declares that “you are full of the devil if you vote for any Democrat“: “You are literally spitting on the grave of the apostles, if you in any way, shape, or form have anything to do with voting for [Democrats].” www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat…
- Remind me again which party wants to give you a decent wage and healthcare, and which party is led by a sexual predator and fraudster that wants to take all that away so that he can enrich himself?
Joshua Haymes declares that “foreigners should NEVER be permitted to serve as an American civil magistrate”: “Biblically, we shouldn’t even permit citizenship until a person‘s family has been here for at least three generations.“
- So… by his rules, George Washington would’ve had to sit this one out.
Weirdest of the Weird
Nick Fuentes says that a Right Wing Watch “smear campaign” is to blame for giving people the impression that he is a racist, antisemitic, Christian nationalist extremist nut job.
- Their “smear campaign” involves them simply posting clips of him saying racist antisemitic crazy stuff.
- In other words, it’s his own words that are giving people that impression – see here for details: www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat…
Even More Political Cartoons from the past week
As always, there are many excellent cartoons.
Rob Rogers – Trump has been caught on camera napping in the Oval Office. Metaphor for the job he is doing? Yes and no. #Trump #sleepy #economy #affordability #EpsteinFiles #immigration #ICE #WarCrimes #Venezuela #HealthCare #Obamacare #prices #inflation
Media Madness
Amazon Billionaire-owned newspaper tries to convince Americans higher prices are good, actually Amazing stuff @washingtonpost.com , never change
Lies, Damn Lies, and Fox News (what they have been churning out really is all totally fabricated)…
Finally
In a shocker, Donald Trump won the “We-Invented-This-Prize-a-Week-Ago-Solely-to-Bribe-Donald-Trump” Prize.
No it is not parody, and yes, this shit really happened …
- So yes, the FIFA “Piece of Shit” Prize
- Somebody somewhere in FIFA: “whatever works with this fool is worth the doing.” Yes, he really IS that stupid.
This marriage between FIFA and also Trump is in one sense wholly appropriate – but are staggeringly corrupt.
You just know Trump still has that medal on.
Meanwhile, I’m setting the betting line that there will now be at least 25 different organizations that present Trump with a peace prize in 2026.
