Mike Luckovich for February 13, 2019

Putin yanks Trump’s puppet strings and Trump dances. (Of course, Putin also has to share the Trumpet strings with Mohammed bin Salman and Ann Coulter — what an evil bunch!)

Trump yanks Lindsey Graham’s puppet strings and Lindsey dances.

Graham, who fiercely opposed Trump’s primary nomination and called him unfit, whimpers and cries and begs Trump to let him borrow his own balls back again, even for a little while.

Lindsey’s been flipping like a bad penny.

Perhaps he could team Lindsey with Mitch and present them at the Annual Sycophant Show.They roll over so elegantly!

And like a dog, Miss Lindsey sniff Dump’s butt just about every day.

Ms. Lindsey is handy since Rabid Rudy has finally gone completely round the bend into crazytown, and fat-ass needs SOME sycophant close by as a distraction…

Roll over, play dead, stay.

Mike, you have had that Russian flag lapel pin on tiny for quite a while. Keep it up.

The flag pin is a nice touch.

I suppose that now, with John McCain gone, Miss Lindsey needs some other alpha male to suck up to and grovel in front of. But my, how his standards have fallen!

A better toon would be Lindsey and McConnell playing leap frog, seeing which one could jump the highest.

I’m sorry, but Republicans are not dogs. Dogs are intelligent, loyal, and loving, even to masters that often don’t deserve it. So I say again, Republicans are not dogs. (Jackals or hyenas maybe, but not dogs.)

There’s a REASON Trump has never had a (canine) dog, and that’s BECAUSE dogs are intelligent! As for Li’l Linsey: at one point he actually was worth the tenth part of a damn (unlike Littler Mitch, who never was). At one point, Li’l Linsey was a little bit intelligent and a little bit honest—about the most we can expect from the modern Republican party. (Which is why so many principled conservatives are leaving it!) But Trump drags people down to his level. Many (most?) later regret it, and write books about their regrets. BUT: let’s take a peek at pundit Leonard Pitts’ take:

“Point being, there is no element of Trump’s awfulness — not the racism, not the sexism, not the narcissism, not the lying, not the incompetence, not the bullying, not the corruption and not the deep and dismaying stupidity — that was not knowable, that was not as obvious as a neon sign in a mineshaft, before he was elected. So what’s changed? What do these people suddenly see now that they couldn’t then?”

Li’l Linsey should’ve stuck to “If you want to make [of course he should’ve said KEEP] America great, tell Trump to go to hell.”

Who needs a dog when you have Sean Hannity? All dogs in the world just sighed in relief yesterday BTW

It is getting tiresome waiting for a Republican Senator, or even House Rep, to grow a set of balls to stand up to this lying piece of Dump. Funny how the only ones with a pair are the ones whom have left office – or perhaps not because of the messiah hold Dump has on his minions out there. Pretty sad and scary at the same time.

Funny, with a valid point.

Don’t like lindsey being called Ms. He is a male I assume. Just a spineless one. Ans don’t forget mr. mitch. YUK.

He had a dog once. But, when he said “Speak” it just Barked.

So, he decided it was a Defective Dog and had it cooked up for Lunch.

One year ago today, the name of what must have been a wonderful woman (to have had a high school named after her) became irrevocably linked in the public mind with horror. Of course, that linguistic injustice is far down the list of tragedies on that awful day, but I for one would like to say a kind word for Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, the human being.

Not just Lindsey but most of the rest of the GOP as well.

Goodness Gracious, Miss Lindsey. How Evah do you manage?
