In this episode we explore the nationwide epidemic of blindness affecting many Americans. I think the windmills are responsible. #News #USA #Trump #Politics

In this episode, our fearless Pirro just feels unappreciated and unloved. #JeaninePirro #Trump #Hegseth #Pentagon #elonmusknews #RobertFKennedyJr #KristiNoem
A two-panel political cartoon set in a Washington bar. Jeanine Pirro sits alone, saying she feels inadequate because she admitted the government was wrong. The wider second panel reveals Pete Hegseth with four beers, ripped-off suit sleeves and tattooed arms; Kristi Noem; Elon Musk receiving wine through a tube into his arm; and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. drinking a green smoothie. They trade darkly comic confessions about leaked war plans, taxpayer-funded vanity ads, the Epstein files and eating roadkill.

With republicans seemingly eager to accept Trump in spite of his sexual assault record, his obvious Epstein involvement and cover-up, and his creepy, misogynistic behavior towards women in general, I think this is fair game. #Trump #politicsnews #EpsteinCase #StandWithSurvivors #capitolill

#Trump #IRS #News #Capitolill
Trump giving a press conference surrounded by gold talking about how he's cutting Medicare part D subsidies because he needs the money for a new yacht. Meanwhile he's suing his own IRS for more than twice what he's saving from drug subsidies.  This comic shines a light on that absurd comparison.

Today on Capital Ill: Welcome to the republican’s white pride rally disguised as a congressional hearing. #jasminecrockett #congress #republicans #racism #satire
Four-panel political cartoon depicting Rep. Jasmine Crockett criticizing a Republican congressional hearing as a “white pride rally.” A male congressional leader in a white robe marked with a cross shrugs and denies understanding her complaint. Crockett is then shown holding the hearing alone inside a cramped janitor’s closet. The final panel reveals a filthy makeshift bathroom labeled “COLORED LAVATORY,” invoking Jim Crow segregation to satirize racism in Congress.

The ability to rationalize absolutely anything might be the MAGA movement’s most durable superpower. “He’s playing 4D chess, right?” #PoliticalCartoon #PoliticalSatire #MAGA
Satirical comic showing Trump boasting that he can speak without consequences, then praising Jeffrey Epstein at a rally. A stunned MAGA crowd quickly rationalizes the remark as “4D chess,” citing cognitive tests and declaring him the best president ever.

Blanche replies, "I will say thank you very much, I love you, sir."Panels 3 and 4 of the satire. Blanche says, "In fact, I was thinking about this just the other day..." The comic shifts into a fantasy of Trump and Blanche in a boat on a small lake under an umbrella, with Blanche imagining himself in a spring sundress.Panel 5 of the satire. In the fantasy, Trump and Blanche sit together in a rowboat at sunset under an umbrella, holding hands and staring into each other's eyes as narration says the world seemed as if on fire.Panel 6 of the satire. Back at the Department of Justice podium, Blanche smiles dreamily while reporters ask, "Mr. Blanche, are you listening?", "Can we get a comment?", and "Hello? Mr. Blanche!"

The trick is simple: sue the government, call the payout patriotism, pocket the windfall, then tell everyone else how great things are. #Trump #MAGA #Politics #Grift #Satire
Panel 1 of a satirical comic titled "How Trump dupes MAGA and earns millions." Trump walks toward a United States courthouse. Caption: "File a lawsuit against your own government for an outrageous sum."Panel 2 of the satire, titled "Claim victimhood and vindication." Trump speaks at a podium labeled "Witch Hunt Victory" and says, "It's for $1.776 billion, fellow patriots!" The caption says to settle the lawsuit for a smaller but still gigantic amount and fool MAGA by injecting phony patriotism.Panel 3 of the satire. Trump stands outside a courthouse as cash flies around him. The heading says to add a little $100 million windfall for himself, his family, and friends. Caption: "Get the government, which you control, to give you all unprecedented audit immunity because, why not?"Panel 4 of the satire. Trump sits on a golden toilet while looking at his phone, with a sign reading "#1 President Ever." The heading says to ignore constituents' money issues by reminding them how great you are. Bottom caption: "I'm your favorite president, aren't I great?! Why doesn't anyone tell me I'm great?"

The "law and order" routine gets a lot easier when accountability only applies to the other side. Satire, but the pattern is doing the work. #EpsteinFiles #Trump #MAGA #LawAndOrder #Politics #Satire
Panels 1 and 2 of a satirical comic. Panel 1 shows Trump giving a "law and order" speech promising no excuses, no mercy, and tough-on-crime zero tolerance. Panel 2 shows him blocking a chained filing cabinet labeled "Epstein Files" while saying "Nothing to see here."Panels 3 and 4 of the satire. Panel 3 shows Ghislaine Maxwell receiving special treatment while Trump gives a thumbs up and says she is doing great. Panel 4 shows Trump under an umbrella labeled "Pardons for Praise," surrounded by allies and supporters praising him.Panel 5 of the satire. Trump stands between E. Jean Carroll and Stormy Daniels with price tags reading "$100m" and "$130k." A speech bubble says, "It's more expensive when they say no."Final panel of the satire. A boat explodes at sea while Pete Hegseth says, "They looked guilty." The bottom caption reads: "How Epstein's buddy dupes MAGA with tough talk."

National security threats are stacking up, but Pentagon Pete has priorities: appearances, vibes, and "manliness" audits. Satire, but barely. #PentagonPete #PeteHegseth #Military #NationalSecurity #Politics #Satire
Panels 1 and 2 of a satirical comic titled "Pentagon Pete's Priorities." A general warns about missiles, cyberattacks, drones, and multiple global crises. Pete Hegseth replies "First things first" while holding a "manliness audit" checklist with items like beard length, waist size, testosterone, gender, and hair gel.Panels 3 and 4 of the satire, titled "Readiness, Deferred." In one panel, an officer says drones are attacking the base while Hegseth says they will get to it after weigh-ins. In the next, an injured veteran says he lost both knees in Fallujah while Hegseth tells him to lose twenty pounds.Panel 5 of the satire, titled "Higher Standards." Pete Hegseth stands in front of headlines about sexual assault allegations, drinking concerns, and sharing war plans on Signal while saying "We need higher standards."Panel 6 of the satire, titled "The Department of Appearances." The Pentagon appears behind a sign reading "The Department of Appearances, formerly known as the Department of Defense," while documents labeled readiness, strategy, and war plans sit in a trash can.
