Jeff Danziger for April 08, 2018

A general catastrophe.

#TraitorTrump

Of the Ship of Fools.

Asleep at the wheel and we’re drifting into Russian territory.

Too, too true – and too, too tragic.

And obsessing about strawberries too. . .

Actually, its better when he’s watching tv or playing golf

As the Lusitrumpia heads into a minefield…

He feels safe because caravans don’t float.

No hands on deck.

Has the United States become The Flying Dutchman?

Beautiful and atmospheric. And all too frighteningly true.

The rudder ain’t attached to the wheel anyway. What me worry!

If only. What scares me is that Trump might take the wheel and steer the ship onto an iceberg. Without anyone at the wheel there is a chance that the ship would drift somewhere safe.Beautiful drawing, Jeff. Very detailed, but not distracting from the point you want to make.

Ship’s too small. Its real name is Titanic.

Would have preferred Trump as E J Smith and an insert of a screaming Frederick Fleet “Pick up, you bastards!” As we approach the April 15 sinking…

All alone…after the last “rat” has abandoned ship…a glimpse into the future.

Conservative pundit Michael Gerson about a couple of the most recent people who were either fired or resigned or some strange combination platter: The departing head of VA has accused swaggering White House appointees of trying to betray the interests of veterans for the financial benefit of favored individuals and businesses. A serious charge. But in the Trump administration’s carnival of corruption, this barely rates as a sideshow.The departure of Trump’s second national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, brought a different sort of indictment. In his final public remarks, he was careful to preserve his ties to the president. But the topic he chose was Russia — particularly Russian cyber­operations against the United States and other NATO countries. And his judgment was harsh: “We have failed to impose sufficient costs” for such actions. The result? “The Kremlin’s confidence is growing as its agents conduct their sustained campaign to undermine our confidence in ourselves and in one another.” For a national security adviser to make this statement in an administration where the president has been equivocal, even exculpatory, in his language about Russia is the most serious critique of all. In McMaster’s view, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is engaging in a type of hybrid warfare that is “deliberately designed to achieve objectives while falling below the target state’s threshold for military response.”

And this last little tidbit: The composite image of the Trump administration left by these departing officials is damning — a picture of cruelty, attempted corruption and national weakness. Instead of hearing gratitude for the experience of a lifetime, we are getting distress signals.

He’s getting his instructions.

We’re gonna have to get a bigger goat!

Oh Captain, my Captain… WTF happened to the wonderful country I grew up in? This is hopeless. Please abandon ship. Now.

Time for a mutiny.

@Daeder “Time for a mutiny.” Not yet. November is coming. Then, all hands on deck! And make sure your elected officials know you’ve been watching.

A lonely ship it is coming to be… even the rats are getting off
