The line “But I’m giving it a few weeks, tops” could be a paraphrase of Ulysses S Grant’s “I propose to fight it out on this line, if it takes all summer”. (It actually took almost a year from the time he said it.)
Watch the Amazon series “The Man in the High Castle” for an interesting continuation of this concept. Conservatives will love watching a drama of a world they have wet dreams about every night.
Of course, in reality, FDR “practiced social distancing” with the Japanese in this country, and then Truman followed up with “radiation therapy” to solve the problem
The Orange Maroon and his Trumperoids are convinced that they are impervious – not only the pandemic but to the objections of the non-delusional voters who object to his crass, irrational behavior and the (for-the-moment) still-free press who shed the light on the crooked dealing of his minions, his family, and his greedy self!
I’m a huge Ruben Bolling fan, but I think today’s strip is an unconscionable insult to the memory of one of the greatest Presidents of the 20th Century.
I noticed eromlig is only saying that unless there’s a reason to vote FOR, voting AGAINST alone isn’t especially compelling. I was hoping to see the old Jewish guy pounding President Drama Queen to greasy bits, but it looks like it’s not to be.

I’ve never been in a Jitterbug accident, but I once made a Jitterbug™ mistake. I bought one for my dad thinking he’d actually use the damn thing.

But, but Trump says he’s the War President!! Of course he is at war with half the USA, but that’s a quibble.

Sadly accurate, no matter what the trumpbots think about the COVFEFE-45 virus infesting the White House.

I’m a diehard a Trump supporter but I love Ruben’s sense of humor and can laugh at myself, unlike most Democrats.

Historically, this is going to make “Bin Laden Determined To Strike in US” look like a minor bureaucratic oversight.

I like the detail of those white supporters holding that sign behind him as he speaks.

In the last panel, Mussolini is offscreen, frantically taking notes – he might have named fascism, but others perfected it.
