Mike Luckovich for October 01, 2019

So now we have learned that Attorney General William Barr — Trump’s Roy Cohn — has been flying around the world, meeting with Ukraine, Italy, U.K. and, yep, those kangaroos in Australia.

Clearly Barr is trying to extort Australia — and their kangaroos — the way Trump was trying to extort Ukraine by withholding funds already appropriated by Congress, putting them at risk for full takeover by Russia (oh, just what Trump’s boss, Putin, wanted).

And what was he doing?

Lobbying for investigations to discredit the determinations of Russian intervention in the 2016 election to discredit the Mueller Report.

None of which has anything to do with his role as Attorney General.

Clearly Barr now becomes complicit as an accomplice in the Trump crimes of solicitation of foreign intrusion into U.S. elections.

William Barr is old enough to remember Watergate, and how Richard Nixon’s first Attorney General, John Mitchell, went to prison (along with 47 other Nixon administration staff) for his role in the cover-up.

There is a certain irony in his screwing around with “Oz”. The bonespur is lion, scarecrow, and tin man rolled into one slimy carcass.

Clearly tRump and his cohorts constitute the “swamp creatures” that need to be cleared out as the swamp is drained!

“I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.” …Where have I heard that before?

Is it possible for him to BE more of an international embarrassment???

Ukraine needs our military support, so it’s understandable that they don’t want to release their transcripts.

The Aussies, however…hmmm…

It will never stop until he’s locked in a cell!

I keep feeling sorry for him and Giuliani. I think they both have dementia! But their crazed behavior is draining the energy out of our country (and me, I am sick of it).

Trump, the Republican extortionist.

Donnie and his pouch grabbing…

Trump’s foreign policy; Extortion R “US.”

Do you think the 20 or so Roo’s that were killed by hit and run driver were a warning to Australia by trump? A hidden Trump operative( eric) in a vast world wide right wing conspiracy to rid the world of Roo’s?

Why is Tiny allowing used up Aussie “Footie” players to come to the US to take jobs away from nice American punters in the NFL and NCAA?

One way to understand Li’l Donnie is that he never really left the pouch………

Interesting that this cartoon appears just after a news story about somebody hit-and-run killing 20 “neighborhood” kangaroos in the middle of the night in one Australian town. I wonder whether Mike L. saw that news story before he did the cartoon.

“you’ll rue the roos you lose…”

No Kangaroo with an Unpicked Pocket is Trump’s new policy.

That’s a great one to end my day on! Thanks, Mike.
