Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 10, 2021

Now all he has is golf.

When the virus showed up that got an actual snicker out of me. Hard to do these days.

Blood on the hands: nice touch.

Tzw whatever , DjT and the virus : three misfortunes in one fell swoop .

I work across from a golf course. They’re out there playing.

Too late. You were screwed before; now it is insurmountable.

But every day — yes, each and every day — he sets a new …

 World Record in Ball Dropping

2020-01-07 • Presidential Daily Brief: “Analysts concluded [coronavirus] could be a cataclysmic event.” • Trump did nothing.

2020-03-11 • WHO declared a global pandemic.

2020-04-15 • Trump suspended US funding of WHO.

2021-01-10 • US coronavirus deaths: 381,480 (52 weeks after PDB; 7336/week)

 For comparison …

1941-12-07 • Pearl Harbor attack: 2,403

2001-09-11 • terrorist attacks: 2,977 (5 weeks after PDB warned Bush about it)

Korean War (33,686) + Vietnam War (58,220) + Afghan War (7,970): 99,876

WW1: 116,516 (83 weeks for US; 1403/week)

WW2: 418,500 (195 weeks for US; 2146/week)

Civil War: ~620,000 (213 weeks; 2911/week)

Spanish flu: ~675,000 (~117 weeks; 5769/week)

I just realized that ifyou remove a few letters from POTUS it becomes POS.

Insurrection. A nation drawn into the abyss.

I think by this time next month Donald is going to be busy enough.

Nice there’s blood on his hands, Garry. He’s surely earned it.

It’s a little late in the game to try to start governing. Plus, he’s totally incompetent, so there’s that.

If he retires, he’ll be hauled off to court. He’s not going to do that. If the 25th is invoked, he’ll probably flee the country. Pence is not likely to do that. Impeachment will happen after he is out of office, then he could all privilege’s provided to ex-presidents revoked. He might flee the country or he will face charges and jail time.

I’m certain donnie dearest has his demented dreams of revenge for all those who have betrayed him.

Do NOT ask him to govern. He just might.

These former dictators, always with their funny ideas.

he had better see prison

Good grief – give it a rest.

Wondering how far Trudeau works in advance. I expected Wednesday’s events to be reflected. ‘Political’ cartoonists get published the next day. I think publishers want ‘Comic strip’ cartoonists to have a couple weeks of material prepared in advance – no matter how political they are.

WONDERFUL COMMENTARY! THANKS, EVERYBODY! If he is impeached a second time, does that mean he will NEVER get a state funeral, with the horse and the march down Pennsylvania Avenue???? Be still, my beating heart. . .

He’s fast tracking environmental destruction!

If Trumpie the Clown flees the Country I ask who would have Him ? And why ?

A lot has happened since Mr. Trudeau did this cartoon.

The last panel is going to be a classic!

It has been pointed out that golf spelled backwards is flog.

Blood on his hands, literally.

Just remember, we still have to live with ex-President Trump for years to come.

I’ve wondering what we will see in Disneyworld’s Hall of Presidents. Any suggestions?

And the nuclear button

He is so messed up and narcissistic that he actually thought a mob breaking into the Capitol and chanting “Hang Mike Pence” while building a gallows would make him look GOOD.

This week really had some highs and lows. The Georgia election turned out great. The next day some RWNJs stormed the Capitol on Trump’s orders. I hear Trump is considering pardoning them.

The vaccinations are going at a snail’s pace due to low supply. This needs to turn around soon. There are 3 states offering it first come first served, resulting in chaos. We have tools to make it orderly— such as an alphabet, numbers, a calendar, smart phones, computers, etc. but they aren’t being used to organize it. They could also go ahead and use what they have instead of reserving 2nd doses and work on using the defense production act to get additional supplies ASAP.

The next time somebody tells me about how comic strips are prepared weeks and months in advance, I’m coming back to this one to demonstrate that although they may be, they certainly don’t have to be.

I see he’s still breaking the rules (kicking the golf ball) and still denying reality. Just like his cult followers.

love the blood on the Cheeto’s hands.

Golf, and bloody hands

With any luck, banks will foreclose on his golf courses forthwith. There is hope. Maybe he can find a prison with a golf course or an insane asylum that uses golf as therapy. trump should be careful, though. An insane asylum might forbid cheating.

Just getting him out of office is not enough. He’s tried to incite a coup and his followers will still listen to his lies. He can’t roam free around the world and launch new social media platforms. He needs the Napoleon treatment, being held on an island in the middle of no where closely monitored and in isolation. Seeing as we probably can’t lease St Helena I think Guantanamo is the closest thing we’ve got to it.

Worst timing for a Doonesbury strip ever.

This strip represents one of those rare times that events completely overtake Trudeau before publication.

Ugh! That view in panel 4! My eyes burn! Gotta go look at pics of kittens for relief….

As he has made very clear, DJT doesn’t mind if Rona plays through.

Ew. Worst cameltoe EVER. (I do see Garry’s colorist has been busy with the mesh fill in CorelDRAW, though.)

I’m afraid Trudeau was a bit too complimentary drawing the president.

Looking at a few comments here… Now it begins… The Orange One, his party, and his followers have basically burned down the country, so a new line…. “Can’t we just get past the idea that our problems are the fault of JUST ONE party.” Really! I’m a damned Democrat and therefore know better than anyone that Democrats aint perfect, but… Wait a minute. There’s another one… “Let’s all just put the election behind us and work together.” That said, I guess these are better than this one: “I put up with Obama for eight years and said nothing. And then watched Dems do everything they could to prove Trump’s election wasn’t legitimate. So don’t expect me to be nice now!” Hold on. There’s another: “Everyone in the Capitol was an Antifa member!” Seriously, we all fool ourselves, but the ability of Trump’s supporters to deny objective reality is really frightening. Consider Trump’s management of the crisis caused by the virus. Guess the psychologists would say that once he decided it was a hoax there was for all intents and purposes no crisis to manage. Last Wednesday night, when the riots in DC were winding down, a friend of mine on FB threw out one of those manufactured exposes that purports to prove that Antifa members were behind all of the bad stuff. I, with much diplomacy, countered with a link that proved he had dealt fake news. He replied thusly: “You need to stop drinking the Koolaid.” I think we’re doomed.

too bad these strips have to be written so far in advance. makes this irrelevant.

Blood on his hands. That applies to just about every US president.

That sure looks like a diaper in the 4th panel.

Could someone please explain to me why, instead of whining about the 25th amendment and impeachment, the police did not just arrest him on the spot for inciting a riot and sedition? A day in jail would have been a good photo op. Also why would any Maga still believe in him when he said he would lead the march and instead left the march. Straight forward betrayal of his followers. Also why didn’t they pick up Rudy and Jr.? Neither of them have presidential teflon. Why are they not in jail right now?

Amazing. You just made a fat joke. Because fat-shaming is fine if it’s at the expense of someone we don’t like.

It looks like fomenting insurrection became his new hobby. I hope social media has taken away enough of his dangerous “toys” to put a stop to that.

I think, deep down, that The Donald would like to have been a stand up comic with an adoring audience. A Vaudevillian or at the summer Catskills circuit of yore for example. The problem is he has NO sense of humor, only an awkward body language, gestures, goofy smiles and smirks. There wouldn’t have been enough money in it as well; and wealth, or at least the appearance of wealth, has always been the paramount requirement for his self image.

Garry…you drew the hands too big! Also, what’s to stop him from pardoning all of the protesters?

If the virus showed up next to me, I’d whack it few times with my best driver!

Sleep Joe is earning that derisive label if he does not wake up. He is doing what some of us feared by talking about unity and moving forward and by not backing impeachment with conviction. It’s playing into the hands of the American Nazi Movement.

I had to hold my nose out of necessity to vote Democratic last November which was the first time in 28 years to vote for either major party candidate. In 2022 and 2024 I can abstain again or find a “liberal” GOOPer. Ignore the very numerous middle-of-the-road middle class fairness-for-all demographic again Dems and you get sent back to wandering the meaningless existence of the minority.

The other actions that have to be taken is to expel the Dirty Seven Senators who supported the objections to certification AFTER the insurrection, AND to censure every house member who did the same. If that did not send a message to anyone wanting to overthrow our Democracy by supporting insurrectionists and nullifying the most secure and fair election in US history then I do not know what would.

[Senators have longer terms and are supposed to be held to a higher standard. House members are powerless to deny the submitted state certifications without a Senator.]

PELE! That’s what his caddies call Trump behind his back, As shown in the third panel.

The blood is a VERY nice touch, Mr. Trudeau!

Arnold Schwarzenegger released a WONDERFUL STATEMENT just a short while ago:

Be sure to click off the muting icon. For me it was in the open access Twitter one but not the YouTube one.

Sometimes all that it takes for a good nation to fall to dictatorship is not complicit agreement but complacent silence. It does not matter if that silence is from fear caused by intimidation because once authoritarians win then the fear will truly be far greater.

Given the week we have had, this has lost its humor…

Li’l Donnie is, as a matter of objective reality, a sociopath with no conscience. Forget 350,000 deaths (the number he himself is responsible for, because of his imbecility, dishonesty, cowardice, and insanity, is over 300,000). Li’l Donnie wouldn’t have cared if ten or twenty MILLION people had died, if that had helped him to win the election. And, for Trump fluffers, that would be ten or twenty million WHITE folks—for Trump, it wouldn’t have mattered the tenth part of a damn.

Nice use of red!

Am I alone in hoping that Trump’s owner, our enemy Vlad Putin, will go ahead and release the kompromat he has on Li’l Donnie, just for the sheer raw hell of it?

4th-panel shoot was something I glad I did not see eating breakfast.

Please do watch this address by Governor Schwartzenegger.

His response to America’s Kristalltag is excellent.

See? SOME Republicans have class . . .

Garry undoubtedly wrote this before this week’s horrific events but today’s strip is quite profound.

The bloody hands motif he’s been doing for months is all the more striking now.

“A most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of no one good quality.”

All’s Well That Ends Well (Act 3, Scene 6)

OMG – I’ll bet my entire 401K that Donald Trump has never let anyone play through in his entire life. (For the non-golfers out there, allowing someone to play through is a sign of respect and consideration when your slow play is holding them up)

Half right?

Avoid the boring stuff at all costs.

However it happens, Trump is no longer in office by Jan 20.

Pence becomes POTUS and pardons Trump.

Talk about nightmares.

BTW, both General Mattis and General Kelly have now criticized or ridiculed the draft dodger in chief. General Milley has found it necessary to reassure Congress of the military’s political neutrality. The support for Trump is among the enlisted ranks- the least educated in uniform. I was an enlisted man, but I was always troubled by the gullibility of my brothers in arms. Usually good hearted, but naive. Susceptible to Trump’s lies. Scary.

This strip must have been written and drawn long before the events of this week. I hope next Sunday’s strip shows what Trudeau must really think of Benedict Donald’s treasonous behavior this week. The blood on his hands should show very prominently in it.

He doesn’t even have golf… he’s afraid to leave the White House, lest he get arrested.

Golf. Or insurrection. Decisions, decisions….

Nice. PGA has said no more tournaments at Trump courses.

I don’t think that Garry Trudeau does his own coloring, but I wonder if he has to give special instructions to the person who does about how to show that fake orange skin tone wrapping around only the front of Disaster Pumpkin’s skull.

The blood on his hands is a gruesome but accurate touch.

He must have drawn this before 01/06/2021.

’Tis a truly sad (but accurate) commentary when Grrft (or however his name is spelled) is the more reasonable of the two.

These hands were bloodied la long time now…and Trudeau showed us! Now I’ve said he’s been crazy from the start and should’ve been restricted from social media! Unfortunately no one could or can’t control that! Oh and he’ll be busy, fingers crossed, doing time! This has been a shocking depressing week/time…

I never knew that I would stir up so hate. The comment was meant as a joke and the fact it old. Bring back Mike,Jonker and Duke and Honey

You know, it used to really burn my biscuits how much time he spent at his golf clubs when he should have been doing his JOB, but now I’d be perfectly okay with him going and spending the next ten days there.

He’s always got his playlist of porn. Oh wait. He was booted off of PornTube as well.

This is the first time I have posted here. I never thought I would inspire such hate and insults. I don’t think I will post again.

Trudeau has REALLY gotten lazy. Those hands are WAY too large. And the belly rolls! The dude didn’t even make an EFFORT to hang them over the waistband properly. He’s just mailing it in at this point. #sad

“I need a new distraction. Any ideas?” XD
