In defense of lawmakers in Congress, they actually weren’t focusing on Trump’s tweets and shootings, they were focusing on repealing Obamacare.

THE TRUMP WHO STOLE AMERICA

December 21, 2016

Everyone seems so ready to be done with 2016, but I’m a little more concerned about what’s in store for 2017.  Come January 20th, Trump will be a real, live president and not a president-elect.  Seems only fitting to do a holiday homage to the best animated Christmas show, ever.  (Sacrilege, I know, but I really couldn’t resist.)

The silver lining among all the Trump lies, hypocrisy and downright scary cabinet picks, is that there is plenty of material for satire.  And for bonus points:  the subject of much of this satire has the thinnest skin imaginable and actually complains and engages with creators!  (See: SNL.)  Sigh, I can only hope.

I would gladly give up that silver lining, though, if we could magically (or legally) remove the dangerous, xenophobic, misogynistic loose cannon who is about to become president.  Hold on, 2017 is going to get even weirder.  In the meantime, Happy Holidays and thanks so much for all of your support!

Raising Your Candidate

In creating this Behavioral Guide for Republicans, my goal is to address a certain rabble-rousing Republican candidate for president whose name rhymes with “rump.”  We should be able to talk about the campaign and the issues therein without constantly trumpeting said candidate’s name, right?  

It seems like the GOP, and a good chunk of the media, would be well served by reading a parenting handbook or two.  (Any parenting handbook within the last 100 years will do.)  We are feeding the beast, pouring gas on the fire and playing into this vast publicity scheme that will result in higher speaking fees and better reality television deals for the Candidate-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.  (At least I hope all that results from this feeding frenzy are better t.v. deals and speaking fees.  God save us if the reality show takes place in the Oval Office.)

Let’s hope the cable news circus around the gilded real estate developer subsides and important issues that are, y’know, presidential and stuff, move to the forefront.  (Idiocracy wasn’t supposed to take place until 2505, after all.)  Enjoy the cartoon and be sure to share, comment and dig into the links behind the ‘toon!
