Ramirez captures the administration’s decision-making system, which is that there is no system and it all depends on how Dear Leader is feeling at the moment. It certainly seems like an odd way to run a country, but, then, it would be an odd way to run a casino or an airline or a university, […]

Can’t steal the pun without crediting the punster, and it’s also worth pointing out that Dan Thompson had to have drawn this before the court decision came down and extend him some kudos for that, as well, though the trial took five weeks, so there was plenty of time to jump aboard.The YouTube lawyer explained […]

One of the things I like about Australian cartoonists is their willingness to skip the niceties and get to the point. Wilcox notes the colossal series of missteps, lies and blunders Dear Leader has exhibited during his reign and yet he seems to be getting an equally colossal series of free passes.There are two odd […]
