Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 21, 2020

As his own Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said: HE IS SO FULL OF SНИТ

I truly believe that Trump is that stupid. His “handling” of coronavirus testing is like a very young child covering his eyes and saying, “You can’t see me.”

Funny, I thought the COVID-19 was driving itself, since no one is getting out in front of it…

The bodies aren’t buried, they keep running around the place, stinking it up..

A pandemic to run:

“I don’t take responsibility for ANY of it!”

.

Of course, sabotaging governors is really hard work.

.

And naturally, investigating ‘crime’ does not include the head of the criminal family in the White House.

According to his latest insight all we need to do to bring the numbers down is slow down the testing?

I was born on November 3rd. All I want for my birthday this year is for sanity to rule for at least that one day. Wouldn’t that be a nice turn-around to an otherwise terrible year?

Trump has a lot of things to deal with. All those bad people, doing bad things in Tulsa. How dare they have peaceful demonstrations! And those K-Pop terrorists. Something has to be done about those juvenile delinquents who disrupt his rallies. They’re disrespectful saboteurs and should be thrown into child labor camps. Time’s awasting Donald, TikTok, TikTok. How can they do this to our Dear President. He has they best people of any past administration Barr none. He knows the best people. He knows so many that he has to constantly change them so all of these great people can serve the Dear President.

If trump should lose the 2020 election, I predict he’ll declare it a hoax and refuse to step down with the Republican Senate will be in lock step (or should I say goose-step) behind him and we’ll witness the end of democracy. No, he’s not stupid, he’s evil. They’re the stupid ones; trading their jobs for thirty pieces of silver.

Fran Leibowitz said it best. "You don’t know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.’

Is this comic even remotely funny? Trudeau is too disgusted by Trump to have a sense of humor anymore.

Yes, get Barr to fire all the lawyers investigating ME!!!

Trump’s Tulsa Rally Fizzles as Seats Go Empty – nytimes

15 hours ago – Trump Rally Fizzles as Attendance Falls Short of Campaign’s Expectations … The disappointing turnout came as Mr. Trump already found himself under siege .

The dungheap-in-charge is attacking SDNY…must be something they are working on, that has him scared. Pick a crime, any crime.

I suppose that is what happens when we elect Batman president. Always thinking about crime.

He could be tilting at windmills, but we all know that they cause cancer…

It would be funny if it wasn’t so true!

How in the HELL did we find ourselves in THIS deep of a pool of S#!t, America???

I talked to my brother yesterday. He works at a hospital. They only had 10 cases and none were bad enough to stay overnight. Yet three floors were “dedicated” to civid patients. All sitting empty.

and did: trying to prevent the investigation of crimes that may be at the doorsteps of Giuliani and two of his Ukrainian associates by firing a prosecutor who was investigating them yesterday…

“Now pull me off this toilet and get Barr on the phone!”

Because a lot of newspapers (remember them?) delete the top tier of their Sunday strips to save space, a lot of “Doonesbury” readers missed the funniest part of today’s strip. (By the way, until I read the comments it literally never occurred to me that the Mike in question might be that pompous bloated dishonest coward, Pompeo. I just naturally assumed it was Li’l Mikey Pence—who of course had to get permission from Mother BEFORE he followed Trump’s “extraordinary leadership.”) Of course, on second thought, the idea of Trump “working day and night” (or even working at ALL!) was the funniest part of today’s episode……..

By the way, for a hilarious compilation of actual Trump quotes about the pandemic (you know, how first it was five people and then would go directly to zero without passing “Go”, and so forth), in chronological order, check out Clay Jones’s video link. You really can’t satirize a parody, parody satire, or make Trump look even more ridiculous than he makes himself. (That is, for an audience of at least MINIMALLY intelligent and sane people.)

POTUS to AG: “I’ve got a great idea, Bill. Let’s get rid of those mean, old, nasty U.S.Attornies who keep investigating me and my friends. Let’s start with that guy in New York…If nobody is investigating me, then I can’t be guilty of anything… Right Bill?”

Of course…whoever expected him to “work” on more than one problem at a time?! :D

Well, he just followed up Juneteenth with his very own BSteenth. The theme was pretty similar to this comic…consequently, neither was funny.

his comment on bolton’s book actually clothelined the DOJ’s argument to block it. The president declared it was full of lies AND revealed secrets. if it is all lies, as he claims, then clearly he isn’t revealing secrets. If he is revealing secrets, it isn’t lies then. but the big oopaloompah is too self absorbed and too dumb to realize how his knee jerk reaction dismantles his own arguments.

I just like to imagine white house lawyers listening to him rant then just banging their heads on the table in frustration.

When younger, Garry Trudeau was a sharp critic and wickedly funny. Now all I hear is echoes.

Trump’s firing of the SDNY attorney that was investigating Trump would normally be worthy of Impeachment, but Dems have decided that Republicans are too corrupt to even try.

The images of Trump’s “big rally” yesterday made me think of the movie “A Face In The Crowd”.

I noticed the chunk torn out of the flag in the last panel. By now, under Dump’s “leadership” it should be in shreds.

Ouch! First a fake global pandemic with 122K and counting confirmed US deaths, then an economy tanking with 12.4 percent unemployment for whites and 16.8 percent for blacks, followed by nationwide protests against racial discrimination, police brutality and disparities (see previous), another kiss and tell memoir with many more to come, and now a campaign rally that fizzled out like a wet firecracker instead of a bigly bang.

As the old saying* goes, and is quickly catching up with Trump, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

*According to Quote Investigator, the quote has been attributed to Abraham Lincoln, Jacques Abbadie, Denis Diderot, and Anonymous. I’m sticking with old saying.

Today’s headline should have read: President Punked At His Own Rally!

Hats off and kudos to the K-pop kids and the TikTokers!! Thanks for making tRump’s comeback event look like the beginning of a farewell tour and giving me a good laugh. Best Father’s Day present, ever!

I heard Brad Pascale is already looking for a new job – once he brushes off the bus tire tracks …

The comment about Bill Barr at the end made me remember Barr testifying before Congress that he doesn’t care about hist legacy because he’ll be dead. That didn’t make sense to me until a little while ago. When Trump loses and Barr loses his job, Bill Barr will die, whether it’s because the Devil coming to claim his own, or other reasons. That’s the only way Barr won’t have to live with his legacy.

Does anyone know if Mr. Trudeau uses some of these beautifully ornate drawings of the White House over and over? I would think it would take so much time to draw that he may have a library of 20-30 different White House angles and drawings that he can pull from for strips like this.
