No. 14 - Trump has made it abundantly clear that not only revenge, but cruelty, too, are intended in his actions. His minions have been given and floored their way through that green light.
No. 13 - If further evidence of global warming were needed, Hurricane Melissa, the third most powerful Atlantic hurricane on record and the spawn of climate change, caused catastrophic devastation on Jamaica and other islands. Still, regarding the wreckage so far from the second Trump administration, it's better to lighten with pointed humor rather than stress ourselves by cursing the darkness.
No. 12 - Pete Hegseth's ill-conceived mass gathering of the military's top brass, in which he and Trump pushed their plan to prioritize the use of the armed forces against internal domestic threats - read critics of Trump - triggered this cartoon.
[Note the credit to Pogo.]
No. 11 - President Trump has decreed that all speech critical of him lies outside the bounds of free speech and is directing his Department of Just-bend-the-knee to go after it.
No. 10 - The purpose behind the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution be damned!
No. 9 - The highest crime stats are in red state cities. They are declining in many blue state cities, but send in the National Guard anyway to intimidate voters... I mean criminals!
No. 8 - This is just not funny.
No. 7 - "The Steal" will continue until one-party rule is assured.
No. 6 - President Trample and his herd have pulled out all the stops and are toppling all the pillars of law and tradition possible to guarantee a permanent one-party rule, which of course their mouthpieces in the past have decried the opposition for doing, a handy strategy for preparing the public for its implementation by themselves.
No. 5 - Over the pleas of millions of their constituents, the Republicans have defunded public broadcasting. This may pale in comparison with the redistribution of wealth from poor and middle class citizens to the Donald and his billionaire buddies, but it is a singular attack on free speech, as well as anything not in seeming compliance with the alleged Christian doctrines of his followers.
No. 4 - Although Ghislaine Maxwell has not been pardoned as of this writing, many other felons have been while the promised Epstein files have not been released.
No. 3 - The White House and Republican Party have created and bankrolled an army of masked government agents and built concentration camps, all while showing disdain for the law. This belies their oaths to "support and defend the Constitution... against all enemies, foreign and domestic." The president's oath doesn't list the enemies, but neither does it license him to become one.
No. 2, literally - Apparently, Trump's minions, including his press secretary, don't know that flaunting the Constitution and blatantly performing your corrupt acts in public view do not meet the definition of transparency.
No. 1 - Senator Joni Ernst (R - Iowa) doubled down on her response to constituents' concerns that people would die from proposed cuts to Medicaid and food assistance - "Well, we are all going to die" - with an un-apology pitching Christianity for those desiring eternal and everlasting life. The reaction may have been a "Come to Jesus" moment for her, prompting her decision to not run again.
