There are any number of cartoons, memes and videos floating around about what a disappointment Dear Leader’s parade turned out to be, and that’s probably a good thing in terms of keeping up morale among the dissenters, though I doubt much of it will get through the president’s protective bubble.The thing is, LBJ and Nixon […]

So I gather the president had his parade yesterday, but one of the disadvantages of having it at night is that, as of this morning, coverage is a bit spotty. However, I get the impression that the parade itself was more impressive than the turnout. I’d be open to reassessing that if I see more […]

Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for, either as a coronation of the king or as a moment of unified rebellion against egotism and fascism. Looks like God is planning a test of his own, to see how many people will turn out in the rain either to cheer or to protest.I’m often […]
Tomorrow will be a massively busy day across the United States. The No Kings protests are scheduled in multiple cities in every state. In Washington, D.C. Trump will finally get his “imma-tyrant-too”, I mean, military parade. Despite the congestion that will bring, I highly recommend those living in the DC area to go to the […]

Tomorrow is the Big Parade, and, in Pett’s cartoon, King Donald wonders why nobody is saluting as the horrors of the past five months pass in review. “One man’s meat is another man’s poison” works in reverse as well, however, and there are plenty of people in this country joyfully feasting on what has happened […]

A bit of poetic license here: The tanks are in DC waiting to rumble past Trump’s collection of contributors in a Soviet-style display of macho goodness. They haven’t been deployed in LA, despite several Tank Man cartoons.I hope at least a few people know that Tank Man only slowed the tanks down for a moment […]
Anderson is 100% right, but the real message is not in his cartoon but in the shrug it inspires.January 6 was only a bit over four years ago, and everyone of voting age remembers that day. The fact that the architect of that attempted coup was voted back into office is astonishing and hinges on […]
Our little slapfight continues and the world — in this case, Ireland — watches with a combination of fascination and detachment, realizing that they dare not be too detached because of the global stakes at risk and they shouldn’t be too fascinated because it’s degrading to watch it like an episode of Jersey Shore.Though here […]
