Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 03, 2024

Trump follows the Bible literally and keeps the sabbath holy by making it a day of rest.

Where’d those kids learn such talk?! Good Christianists NEVER talk, and ask questions, like that! Clearly, they’re demons…

Isn’t Satan’s messenger FOUR years older?

Con man embraces older con and those already conned fall for it again.

I like how the kids ask questions of the man of the house, but once he’s stumped his wife shows superior intelligence in saving the day.

Quick. They need to get that kid into the class at school that cures critical thinking!!

Is that final frame supposed to be a dig at President Biden? Or Mitch McConnell?

Satan would have sent a 3-year OLD, Mother!

I was raised in a church family and went every Sunday until I moved out. The last few years I was amusing myself by coming up with different words for the hymns. I took a degree in Anthropology and that pretty much cured me of organized religion. A mighty clear look at means of control. Since then my religion has been horses, and I serve five times a week. What gives YOU joy? Surely not grumpy and controlling old men?

THE ORANGE CALF

According to the Book of Truth the orange calf is a cult image made by the MAGAts among the Evangelites when they went up to Mount Bilyonairs and asked for a god. They were told to give all their gold and green to the one who they would send and to never stop giving.

In the Record of Truth the incident is known as “the sin of the calf”. Bull worship is common in many RWNJ cultures.

“Two Corinthians”.

Chuck Grassley is 90 and Satanic Republicans love his last 50 years of being out of touch with reality and his right wing extremism.

The kids are always smarter than their brain dead parents.

How come crazy traitor Trump isn’t screaming about how Texas didn’t rake its grassland?

“You know the hynnotized never lie. Do Ya!’The Who, “Won’t get fooled again”.I learned a bit of theology, just to scare the Witnesses away. It applies here as you can have fun with your local evangelicals.

We get the government we deserve when we politically equate superstitious/religious authoritarian ideology with knowledge, science, and proportionally represented democratic ideology based on critical thinking, The greatest threat to democracy is an undereducated electorate unwilling to trust/respect each other to govern themselves fairly … but willing to submit to the will of a popular tyrant.

The USA will be cattletrucked if DT gets the Presidency again.

Can someone persuade Trump that he has been chosen by God to rest for 7 days a week ?

Thank god I’m an atheist.

……the gullibility of a person, (Trump supporters in particular,) is directly proportional to their desire to have their prejudices validated… It is very hard to convince a fool, that they are one…

We need a new word for “hypocrisy,” something that would mean like, “SUPER HYPOCRISY.” I write this comment being someone who thinks this word is overused. 74,000,000, having embraced the most hypocritical person I have ever experienced, do you have any ideas?:

Longing for the inevitable time coming when Trump flees the country to avoid prison and lives out his days in exile in Russia.

It occurred to me recently that prayers circles are a group of people begging and praising god to do something he should be doing out of ove, such as curing a 2 year old with cancer. Maybe god really is Trump.

Don’t pick on Dumpy Trumpy. It not nice to make fun of the mentally handicapped.

Trump would have made a good (comical) Devil in those “Oh God” movies from the 70s

Not getting into this one, do not know enough about either subject. (Plus, do not want to get shouted at)!

He ! is out savor : )

If it’s Sunday it must be another comic worshiping at the Alter of Trump.

Supposedly, he’s Presbyterian. 5th Avenue Presbyterian Church is across the street from Trump Tower and he was never seen in the place.

I’m not an American. I know this is just a political comic. But, is this really what an average trump supporter thinks? These aren’t your hillbilly MAGA’s spouting gibberish on Youtube, but mainstream, minivan driving, two kid, mother/father (still together), middle income (educated?), people. Please tell me these are fantasy people just to make a joke. Please tell me that in the most powerful country in the world, that these types of people don’t really exist or at least tell me they are just outliers: MY democracy kinda counts on that.

I can’t disagree with this. Trump is definitely idolized by many – a false idol.The average Church goer is exposed to weak tea coming from sweater-vested sissies of pastors.They don’t preach on sin and repentance. They merely affirm everyone’s sin.The grift is strong.

However, Trump is still better than the guy who wants to kill babies up to the minute of birth, and sometimes after. Trump is still better than the guy with open borders that bring butchers in that murder and rape people and our kids. Trump is still better than the guy systematically trying to destroy America with DEI, ESG, CBDC and collectivist globalist fascism.

Oh, yeah, don’t think a bunch of atheists should be lecturing anyone about religion and faith. A mere stalking horse of an argument.

Sent neither, by God or Satan, he’s just this guy, you know.

Actually, this is exactly what God did with his only son. Remember how Jesus mocked those he didn’t like? Or when he overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple and kept it all? And then there was the time he took food away from 5000 hungry people. Or when he washed his hands of the poor? Yeah, tRump is JUST like that. Give me a freakin’ break…

Because Trump is one of the most gifted conmen ever.

Good toon today, Gary. My question exactly. What is the difference between “God’s chosen” and “one chosen by Satan?” Hint: It isn’t three years, teleprompters, or being a Democrat.

The condign comic is dripping in hypocrisy. I agree with Buddy (I assume the boy.) that he should question the hypocrisy.

We are doomed because of all the fools.

And the Bible doesn’t have a second grade edition. Poor Mr. trump.

When we practice to deceive.

And while we’re at it, burn the sequel too.

Any good religion is flexible.

“God forgives all sins”

“God wants us to kill all those guys”

See? Flexible.

Amazing the lengths religious people will go to justify their hypocrisy. IOKIYAR is virtually a law at this point if the SCOTUS has their way.

And, apparently, Satan’s guy would be the only one doing actual good for people.

And that’s why in June of 1775, the Continental Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rocket’s red glare it had nothing but victory.

As seen elsewhere: Christians have been warning us about the anti-Christ for centuries. When he finally came along, they voted for him.

I wonder how Garry knew the teleprompter accusation would come up again recently. I must say off-teleprompter Trump is a lot more fun than on-teleprompter Trump.

Thus we receive deep wisdom.

All praise and honor to DONALD.

(Remember to use all caps for deity.)

Today’s evangelicals are the ‘Modern Day pharisees’. They oppose what Jesus taught, and oppose the Laws Jesus came to fulfill. They are what Jesus called “hypocrites” as shown by their support of tRump.

tRump may not be satan himself, but surely tRump is the one who runs into the 7-11 to buy satan his cigarettes.

“We go to church so that we can be told that our invisible sky-daddy loves us more than the people who aren’t like us, and that everything we do to them is justified.”

If Trump walked into a Catholic church, the statue of Mary would cry real tears of blood…

Trump learned a long time ago that the religious are the easiest people to con because they have been conditioned all their lives to accept anything they’re told without question, in fact they’re told it’s wrong and sinful to question. So all he has to do is say “I’m the best Christian ever and love God so much!” and they believe him, even though he does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that’s in any way Christian and has NEVER lived a Christian life.

They’re trying to raise good little MAGAts. Hopefully the kids will rebel.

It’s funny and sad at the same time to see Christofascists twist themselves in such complicated knots to justify their belief in the Mango Moron.

Nailed it! BTW, if you are looking for some perspective on WHY we are WHERE we are, read: America Last by Jacob Heilbrunn.

Every day I thank god I am an atheist.

…Luke 12:1 …Jesus warned his disciples to beware the leaven of the Pharisees… for they are hypocrites …

…it was a warning that the good can be fooled, by the corrupt motives of their leaders…

…the modern translation is : Don’t drink the Orange kool-aid, it is poison …

…for many in MAGA, it my be to late for them to heed his words…

Trump also had a good idea, once … I think … cannot recall it offhand. Maybe it’s in the Bible or “The Art of the Misdeal”. :)

On the money, Trudeau. AMEN !

At least 2 in the car are intelligent-it’s just too bad they can’t vote.

The parents in this toon remind me of one of my brothers. I have very little contact with him anymore. He is completely gaslighted by Trump. Things that are completely evident to an unbiased person are not so evident to him. The sky is green if Trump says so. He behaves as a person in a cult in this way. There is no point in trying to reach him. He has been right wing his whole life but the Trump era has made him completely off the wall.

Yup, if you’re really, truly, deeply, sincerely, whole-heartedly into lying, cheating, and stealing, why settle for less than the very best? Trump’s definitely your guy!

This message is brought to by the GOP, or as we call ourselves behind closed doors, the Party of Greedy White People who Didn’t Realize that Meritocracy and Our Screams for Birth Control Back A Century Ago Would Bite Us In The Butt.

when it’s their guy, he’s a flawed vessel god is working through. when it’s not their guy, he’s the antichrist.

Out of the mouths of babes… I really don’t understand how anyone can be so blind to Mar-A-Lardo’s behaviours, particularly anyone who claims to be religious in any way.

Biden does go to church and then visits his son’s grave.

In panel three, Dad says the disgraced ex-president was “sent by God” like it’s a good thing. Evidently Dad’s never read the prophetic book of Jeremiah, in which God describes the Babylonian king (who destroyed the Israelite kingdom, sacked Jerusalem, and carted its elites off to Babylon) as “My servant Nebuchadnezzar.” God may have indeed sent the Orange One… but in the same way he sent Nebuchadnezzar, plagues, locusts, etc.

Please don’t “Be This Guy”, because you will be deluded, sad, lost, and a sorry excuse for a human bean.

OMG this is so true I want to cry

Trump was sent by the Magas’ god because it ran out of locusts. Thank dog we worship the cats and not some imaginary sky wizard.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is, again, running a different strip (something about collectible comics.)

Beware false prophets who speak with gilded toungues that are forked. Or something like that. I grew up Baptist and he is the epitome of the kind of danger we were warned against.

I spoke to God today. He says Hello.

Republicans want a dictator but they refuse to make Biden into a dictator, they want a right wing fascist like Orban who will kowtow to Putin and turn the USA into Russia or Hungary where dissent is not permitted and those who complain are jailed.

Three years can make a difference. Consider 18 and 21 at the liquor store.

Educated kids — the worst nightmare of MAGA parents.

“And then if any man shall say to you, "Lo, here is the Christ, or, “Lo, He is there”… believe him not ." — Matthew 24:23

How to show you are incapable of thinking for yourself, described in 8 panels.

and people wonder why someone like me is agnostic.

The Trumps aren’t funding the HeGetsUs movement?

This made me laugh a lot. But I feel sorry for those poor children.

Accurate.

Maybe you folks should think about that because tfg certainly follows the commandments of Satan a lot closer than the ones from God

Now, this isn’t necessarily my theology, but there are too many parallels to what we have been told about the Anti-Christ, and the predictions of Nostradamus. Trump is Evil Incarnate and has pulled the wool over the eyes of so many. Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Now I really do enjoy the Satire and Poking fun that @GaryTrudeau does, but this one just ranked of MAGA Bullshirt!

And yes, after all my life being a conservative like my Grandfather before me, I am definitely a RINO that is more an independent, than a Republican. Mainly due to Trump and all the blind sited GOP that follow him to our doom.

To refer to the Religious Right has become an oxymoron. The Right has been co-opted by literalist, dominionist, Gospel of Wealth believers.

As a young Panda, I was beaten over the head with Catholic Dogma.

When a question was asked of the teachers and they had no rehearsed answer, they fell back onto “You just have to have faith”. Even as a youth I thought “Bollocks!”

My dear sweet Grandmother had hoped that I might be a priest. I said nothing to dissuade her. I would have chosen being eaten by wild pigs, before the priesthood.

I could agree God sent trump, this is the same god who sent plagues to Egypt and destruction to Sodam and Gomorrah.

Love the last panel and today’s SCOTUS 9-0 ruling.

The sad part is that one can imagine those mooks who genuinely believe Mr. Grab-‘em-by-the-p**** is divinely chosen to lead the country would be presenting the very same justifications to their kids that these fools are presenting here.

Looks like President Trump has accomplished the miracle of making Gary Trudeau “Holier Than Thou”. I mean, it’s not like he can follow the example of Creepy Joe and somehow attend Catholic Mass, a Black Baptist Church, a Puerto Rican Church and all the others he “grew up in”.Now in addition to thinking the 2d Amendment doesn’t exist Gary has ignored Article VI, Clause 3. Applause.Mobs of people streaming across the border on Brandon’s watch but “Nothing to see here, folks”. Am I right, Gary?

Hey,maybe those Texas wildfires is God’s way of saying he’s fed up with the idiot Governor

At least President Biden can look from the teleprompter on the right and the left without loosing his chain of thought, …

I have found some newspapers have quietly censored this strip. They leave off the first two panels.
