Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for February 23, 2024

Thought I was reading the New York Times for a minute there. With Trump it is hard to make jokes because it just seems like his reality.

If Donny Boy ever gets invited to the Kremlin, I hope he stands near a lot of 4th floor windows and drinks a lotta Vladyboy’s tea.

If anyone had any doubts that Putin controls the magats, and magat chief, this should remove them. It’s so obvious that even Stevie Wonder could see it.

This is what is known as “preaching to the choir”…All the people who need to hear it have repeatedly demonstrated they just don’t get it.

Or, perhaps, the people who need to hear it just don’t want to get it. I mean, really, he’s barely campaigning, babbling his way through “speeches” and being found guilty/liable all over the place, and he’s still leading in all of the polls and winning primaries. That’s some very strong Kool-aid. No matter how hard I try, I just don’t get it.

Yeah, that’s pretty awful. Unfortunately, on the other side, there’s brandon supporting israel’s genocide of Palestinians, despite voters telling him they won’t vote for him if he doesn’t stop.

Slim pickings this election. Like the last one. And the last one. And the last one. And the last one. And the last one. Etc.

One of the guys from the Shark Tank tv show said that the things trump was found guilty of in his fraud trial are “common practice” among real estate developers. Now the tv guy didn’t say if it was common to do it to the degree trump did (I mean, falsely claiming that your property is 3 times bigger than it really is?), but my reaction is more “then a lot more people should be sued.”

It’s hard for white collar crime to get prosecuted – by design. You really gotta beg to be prosecuted. And trump begged.

Today’s assignment: come up with analogies for how fast Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave right now (“Honda’s CBR1000RR motorcycles redlines at 16,000 RPM. That’s not nearly as fast as….”)

I’d settle for an on-camera assassination. Most popular screensaver, ever.

There’s gotta be a reason he’s so cozy with Putin. I wonder what went on in those private meetings they had at the beginning of his presidency. What did Putin promise him? Is that why he tried so hard to stay?

Spot on!!!

That little snot scare the bejeezus out of me if he ever gets back in the Oval Office. He plans on having detention camps which might as well be concentration camps. He’ll literally lock up his political opponents from democrats to judges to news reporters. We must make sure he goes to the big house and not the WhiteHouse again

Last panel recalls the time Putin said Trump was “colorful”, which got translated into “bright”, and Trump thought Putin called him a “genius”.

Amazing how many right wing “patriots” adore Putin like their anointed, Donny!!

Those crazy kids ….

Minor quibble: It’s “wack job,” as in wacky unless it’s a convoluted allusion to TBI.

The bank agreed with the assessment and then the loan was paid off. Not a single person was harmed.

I’ve hear that. My response: Clarke was slow out of the gate, but don’t write him off yet.

I appreciate the way his imaginary publicist reverts to being a pile of cash when the judge appears in panel 8. Nice touch.
