Mike Luckovich for July 03, 2020

I sincerely doubt Pence would have done better. Impeachment would have been just, but not enough. We need a time machine so we can go back and redo the 2016 election.

good graphics…..except donny bonespurs backside is a bit on the narrow side……needs to be wider….

It’s amazing what one could accomplish with leadership. I sure do miss it.

It’s well under control. How bout those jobs numbers? Were roaring back. With Trump the glass is always full, thanks to his self aggrandizing leadership./s

Ans he’s SO proud of himself.

Not fair, you meanies, you had him so upset with that evil impeachment that he just couldn’t focus. /s

A perfect slice, right into a sand trap. Which is a hole in one for Trump.

This is the only “work” the Orange Murder Resident understands.

When the going gets tough, the grabbers go golfing.

Deadly poetry in motion.

The U. S. has 4% of the world population, and 25% of the virus infections. We couldn’t be doing any worse if we tried. Maybe a tax cut for the rich would help, that seems to be the Republican answer to everything.

That isn’t the Stock Market he promised . . .oh, next picture please

This could almost be a Stephen King novel except it’s really happening.

bigly…

It’s understandable, of course. In Tresident Prump’s world, the highest numbers win – even in golf.

His score card is strongly perfect. If you don’t believe that you aren’t a MAGGOT.

ICU beds are filling up across the country and Trump is busy watching fireworks shows at Mt Rushmore and DC. Such great leadership! /s

Looking at the covid case graph on this toon, I am struck by the societal differences between the US and the rest of the world. We in the US covet our freedom above all else. Our freedom of speech, religion, press, to bear arms, to vote or not to vote, all speak to one of the problems with us getting a handle on Covid 19. Over the decades, our civic responsibility has waned while Japan, with high civic responsibility, is largely in control of their Covid infection. With their lack of freedoms, we would probably not want to live in China, but their strong central government and the peoples’ general acceptance of that authority over them, has made it possible for them to keep in control of Covid.

Though now we have the freedom loving non-maskers and a mostly Covid denying presidency, we still may pull this out to save our nation from this pandemic. In the past, as in WWI and WWII, we have pulled together to defeat the enemy that, like the pandemic, was world envolving. We must do that now. Though our urge is to get out with friends to sporting events, concerts, picnics and all those summer events that lured us in the past, we need to stay at home. It may not be fun, but it is necessary.

Home run, Fat Ass! Of course, that’s not the game you were supposed to be playing .

Does this hat make my ass look fat?

We’re number one in covid deaths thanks to the Republican incompetence that is keeping the USA shut down.

Are we allowed to leave the country or has everyone banned us due to the USA being the world’s hot spot for covid?

It’s his “special spin”…..

A ‘life of its own’…deaths of our own.

Look at the leadership and civic responsibility in those countries. This is a temporary situation and could have been made shorter but some idiots were dying for a haircut or a Big Mac. And now they will be really dying. 5000 – 10000 new cases about 15 days after tiny’s party at Mount Rushmore. No idea what the fires will be like. And since local fireworks shows are cancelled look for a greater than normal upsurge in the ER. Too many idiots will be losing fingers, hands, eyes and lives.

This should be made into campaign posters for his opponents — it is perfect – almost as perfect as his phone call!

He cheats at golf, too.

Months ago, Trump’s handlers advised him that we needed to ramp up production of PPE. He said, “I can’t DO ramps!”

Trump is amass murderer!
