With all the corruption and fraud by both parties in Washington, it’s going to take an outsider like Trump to go in and tear down some of this country’s legacy institutions and then rebuild for the good of the entire country, not just the politicians.
I get it Benson, and I love your work, but as the widow of a Vietnam vet who died 6 years ago due to Agent Orange related cancer ….this one kind of punched me in the gut.
Young models were attracted to the fêtes with a simple, time-tested pitch. “You’ll meet rich guys who will help you,” says the photographer. “It was networking, but on a weird, bizarre scale.” The girls were as young as 15, he says, and “over their heads, they had no idea, and they ended up in situations. There were always dramas because the men threw money and drugs at them to keep them enticed. It’s based on power and dominating girls who can’t push back and can be discarded. There’s always someone to pick them back up. Nobody wants to call home and say ‘Help me.’” Trump would “go from room to room,” said the photographer, who added that “I was there to party myself. It was guys with younger girls, sex, a lot of sex, a lot of cocaine, top-shelf liquor” but no smoking. Trump didn’t approve of cigarettes.
He’ll change that flag, the way we elect leaders, our allies and he’ll change who is allowed to live next to you. He wants to change the way the country works, and make sure that the rich are finally taken care of.
That’s your typical Pee Wee Herman right wing insult. Nothing to add to the conversation except trollish insults.Trump has been pulling the same childish nonsense. No one with a brain or taste would vote for that thoroughly horrible man.
I open this site as much to read Steve Benson’s comments as to view the cartoon.

Although we have long known the terrible health effects of Agent Orange, in its beginning use in Vietnam it was hailed as a wonderful means to defoliate jungle areas and thus expose Viet Cong fighters. I remember a cover illustration on a ’60s “Popular Science” issue that showed that use, and it gives me the creeps to think about. Now, of course we know it was a terrible mistake to put it to use. It caused chronic illnesses for all soldiers and civilians in the area.

Some people may think Agent Trump is a wonderful idea for now. But what will be the lasting consequences if he’s elected?

I like the way people state that no matter who gets elected that he/she will do this or do that.
We got two other branches of government for checks and balances.
Hopefully nothing too radical will happen. He/she will only get their way if congress and the Supreme Court allows it.
