He gave Melania some roses, begging her to stick around for his funeral. She replied by throwing them out the window, telling him it would take a lot more green than rose leaves to make her do that. (And this is pure fantasy, so don't take me seriously!)
The Cleanup Crew. God knows democracy could do with it!
You may never get rid of the smell, which will linger longer than the corpse.
Ich glaube, Sie haben Recht. (I think you are right.)
Isn't it something when the Administration forces you to become a criminal because you have no choice but to become homeless?
My son wore that exact same outfit to a wedding. Of course, he was only 8 at the time and it was nearly 50 years ago.
You must admit these rumors of his death have been an effective distraction from his criminality.
Is that really Trump or a double? The ear looks wrong.
I'm not so sure about that. My take is that they want to break the will of the weak so they can be used as virtual slaves, expected to work for very minimum wages as our ancestors were during the Great Depression. Then, if they die, they'll get more undereducated and desperate sods as replacements.
I am Australian with American friends and family members. And I agree with you. I cannot imagine how the US can ever mend the rift MAGA and its non-MAGA, self-serving elite has caused in society. It is sad to see.
Ouch. How to knee somebody and make it seem like a compliment...
But can you be sure Vance wouldn't do it instead?
Perhaps if he walked when playing golf instead of riding in a golf cart, he may not need as much diuretics for his edema.
... and when Putin sends the troops into Alaska, he's OK with giving all the mineral wealth away?
A limp noodle or a week-old mushroom.
"Visible deterrent force." What are they deterring? Opposition to their plans internally as well as externally?
"But we released the files and Trump isn't in there! Why won't you let it go now?" said all the talking MAGA heads.
Good for you! Your US Constitution is worth defending from ALL comers, including those who, despite their office and their oaths, are hell-bent on destroying all that is good in America.
What grass is he talking about? The green variety? The grass who reports back to Putin? Or the grass his sons were so fond of?
Next, they'll wallpaper it and stencil little flowers on top like REAL men.
True.
Funny how Newsom's 6'3" is much taller than Trump's 6'3". It must be a trick of the light - or a trick of the mind.
He may have no power over states, but he sure seems to have bullied enough Governors into submission.
The guy who is whining like a child is also fine stealing one of another country's greatest assets - its land - and pawning it to the highest bidder. It's still stealing.
Somehow, I doubt if many illegal immigrants arrive by train.
You have to feel sorry for the chefs and those who catered for this.
Assuming you say "yes" to the first three and "don't know" to the last, the likelihood is that it is ICE terrorising the resident population.
He's ginger. How deep is the thought of the one brain cell of a ginger cat? (And yes, he's beautiful.)
I do hope the Democrats are also contacting the Norwegians and are reminding them of why he should NEVER get the Peace Prize!
Maybe not your jam, but I like your mustard!
Doesn't this depend on what the people you are asking think America is? Trump et al think it is the best money-making scheme ever invented, MAGAts think it time the US went back to slavery, bigots think it's where they get to say what they damn well want, and the rest have their own ideas.
If being American depends on your ancestors fighting in the Civil War, doesn't this automatically preclude Trump from being American?
But isn't that what Trump and his billionaire friends are doing to the whole US population anyway? Aren't they reverse Robin Hoods, taking from the poor - especially those who will never be able to fight back - to give to the rich, whether it is in taxes, tariffs, wages or health?
To be scrupulously fair, Vance only denied he'd be having the meeting at his house. That said, his denial was sneaky, underhand and deliberately misleading. What else can you expect from someone like him?
Did Epstein's clients donate the umbrellas in memory of the good old days?
Unfortunately, even if they are released, we can no longer be certain that they haven't been redacted.
High heels with his cankles? No, thank you. That's the stuff of nightmares!
And nobody in the lower tax brackets will see any benefit from this at all.
Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't just take his legs away while the floor dried.
Neal Katyal was arguing the case en banc today. My only concern these days is that the law decides and Trump ignores.
False. You forgot Karoline Leavitt. There's no way SHE wouldn't get her face in that photo! (Actually, it's very clever. Thanks for giving me a smile.)
Ooh! Yes, please. An $80 tariff on those red caps and Trump Bibles sounds fair.
Odd question, but what happens when I send a friend in the US a present from Australia? Would THAT be considered an import? I'm not sending a token $20 Christmas present to them if it means they have to pay an $80 charge for the privilege of being given a gift!
Yeah. One hint of a red cap and I'm running the other direction.
It's unfathomable, really, how they are frightened of vaccines that are proven to work and are safe, but are willing to get unproven vaccinations with no science behind them.
Exactly. To Trump, the only disgusting thing Epstein did was to "steal" his staff. Underage sex was never the problem.
There are some people who I think deserve death. This is one of them. I object to paying the cost of keeping such people alive in prison.
What have you become? America is fast becoming the perfect bad example of what happens when personal and corporate greed want to rape a country and its citizens, when the most powerful and richest 1% want to return the largest percentage of the remainder to the status of serfs and slaves.
In any novel, he'd be checking on whether he can still make a huge withdrawal before he's kicked out of the presidency.
It bemuses me to think he hates Mexico so much that he has tried to rename the Gulf of Mexico, but is quite willing to put up with New Mexico as a state without renaming it New Trumpland!
My only concern is that the files will be carefully redacted and only certain ones released, all the while swearing "That's the lot!" with their fingers crossed behind their backs.
Unfortunately, nothing will be done about it. The Government will go on their summer holidays and another crisis will be manufactured to stop the focus on the president's guilt.
Notice that Obama is shown wearing the prison equivalent of a tan suit? Someone has a sense of humor!
Granpa Stinky looks very tired
She expected a deal to be permanent? When it was made for TRUMP??? Does she even have the intelligence to be a politician?
Since I have not been exactly supportive of his presidency, why would I risk travelling to the US? For that matter, knowing that 77 million people voted for him in the last election makes a visit even more unlikely.
OMG. I just mentally dressed him as Henry VIII. It was better than the undressed image.
Why was this not released until now? It is extremely important - it could have made such a difference a year ago when it happened.
There's always someone bribable in a thousand witnesses.
That bruising on his hand looks far more like bruising from an IV drip than from shaking hands. Since Leavitt mentioned anticoagulant therapy, it is possible he has had several blood clots and is in danger of having a stroke.
To put this in religious language, the Antichrist has him by the ___ . (You fill in the blank.) Johnson will do and say anything the orange one orders, even if it goes against every religious tenet he has followed all his life.
Since the docket allegedly has Murdoch's and the reporter's private addresses, is this a case of doxxing? Or is he hoping someone will take care of it for him?
That is a very gleeful depiction of death.
It would be easy to verify if this was real - just ask Maxwell.
She had been given her orders beforehand.
If you do have forced labor camps, what will stop them sabotaging their efforts as workcamp inmates did in WW2?
Do you expect someone from his administration to do something legal at this point? Honestly?
That PRRI research is compelling. It is also concerning. How do you fight such widespread conspiracies?
with a Frankenstein's monster of an administration.
The Administration appears to be determined to make sure the general population stays poor, cowed and uneducated.
I would love to know how many people have tried to correct his ideas about this. And to know how many have tried to give him an economics lesson about who actually pays for tariffs.
As always, a spot-on cartoon. Thanks, Mike.
Have you all lost your cotton-picking minds, America? This is nasty, nasty stuff.
Macabre as it may be, I believe there should be a website to keep an official record of the number of deaths that can be directly attributable to those cuts, or the GOP will argue the rest of America is lying.
Considering the Australian government refused to give him a license to run a casino here in the 1980s because of his ties to the Mafia, that is quite believable - and helps explain why he has cancelled three meetings so far with our PM.
Perhaps it would have helped if he hadn't been such a Taco and the other countries could believe anything he or his administration said.
These days, I'm surprised they didn't end up in Alligator Alcatraz to keep notes on the swampy environment and the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.
Ask him why his federal firefighters never got around to raking the forest.
He probably does, while fantasizing about the female saints.
Doesn't he have some loans coming due fairly soon? He might want those bankers on his side.
It will be interesting to see how they stop the elections. I have absolutely no doubt they're working on it right now.
Thanks for telling me. I hadn't read that anywhere else and it is important. The fact that it is in a conservation area is not surprising - think of all the reports of selling the public lands. It's all about the profits.
I think, rather like the Eskimo elderly people I read about over 60 years ago, you're supposed to wander off into the snow and feed the polar bears. (I do hope that is not the case and you get the chance to vote the sadistic fat cats out of office.)
And don't forget that toilets seem to be in short supply. I haven't seen any in all the pictures I've seen. Can you imagine having dysentery while you're locked in a cage?
I suspect it won't be fixed and it will be used anyway.
As long as he holds it open so Donnie doesn't get to announce his bill on July 4 or before his job figures come out, I'll go along with that.
Another point - I, too, have access to American healthcare. However, I live in Australia, so I could possibly die before I got there!
She has never lived in a rural area, has she? She has never had to wait for an hour for an ambulance while you watched someone bleeding from a chainsaw cut, or faced 50 miles of rough dirt roads to reach a doctor.
It was a foregone conclusion as soon as they were seen in a huddle with Thune. I wonder what they considered more important than the deaths of their constituents.
Trump doesn't care. His family will make more money from it and that's the only thing that matters. The GOP? They will have served their purpose and now all his redneck supporters can go to hell.
How low can you go as a country? That is a tragedy for the vet and for America.
"Night, Jack. Sleep well.
Don't worry - MAGAts will say she's wearing 12" heels!
Ah, Trump likes his females to be painted like the cheaper beauty contest participants and willing to do everything he says.
When will America learn it's best to put sane, thinking people into positions of power?
Unfortunately, his insanity gives his followers permission to be as crazy as they want to be.
These days, the wine might be preferable.
In other words, Donnie's dementia made him say more than his minders wanted and now they have to reframe the remarks.
That move would inflict the most financial damage. It's a clever move from the point of view of strategy
As long as it doesn't end in a mushroom cloud - even a small one!
