Leftover Turkey Toons


Turkey sandwiches, turkey tacos, turkey enchiladas, turkey tetrazzini ...


Zelensky is served.
Blecch Friday.

I realize it's been a few days and news breaks and then gets flushed down the memory hole faster than explosive diarrhea, but please recall this is how we started the holiday week.


The Buc-ee's sign LOL


"Your sloppy disrespectful clothing is why air travel is so bad," says Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy. So fix that uniform, soldier, or face recall to active duty for the purpose of court-martial.

If Democrats said to do those things, it wouldn’t give you permission, though if you wanted to import 400 tons of cocaine into the US, the president might pardon you as a good guy. But if you were ordered to kill suspected drug runners whom you could easily have intercepted and brought to trial, that would require a little forethought on your part. And if you blew up their boat and saw survivors clinging to the wreckage, you’d really have to think hard about either killing them or even just letting them drown.

Meanwhile, if you were ordered to arrest a certain number of brown people and to ignore whether they had legal status in this country, you should probably consult a JAG, if you can find one who hasn’t been fired or co-opted.

BTW, as a civilian, don’t assume proper identification will protect you against outlaws with quotas to fill.

And if you’ve loaded people on an airplane to send them to an overseas gulag and a federal judge orders you to turn the plane around, you should either do that or else be prepared to face having illegally ignored a lawful order.
Less décolleté prepubescent vagina, more law and order (can't believe I have to say this).
Ted Rall says we're focusing on the wrong part of affordability; we need higher incomes because lower prices are just not going to happen.
All I want.


Oh, maybe some science.
And a little thoughtful reasoning. Too much to ask?
“We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.” -- Tom Stoppard

Looney Toons


I don' know boutchall but this was a difficult week for me. I had trouble keeping up.

Mambo's rising fortunes also eclipsed Marge Traitor Greene, who was suddenly making a ridiculous amount of sense as she signed out of Congress. Not about everything, but fer sure about the Death Star of David. And the Eps Files.

The entire week-long love parade through the Oval was weird.


But as bad a week as T-Piggy had, the Guards Of Pedos had a worse one.
Seems like a real shit-or-go-blind moment for them ("Should we be Nazis or plain vanilla antisemites? Tough call"). Democrats went out of their way to torpedo their champion with a Congressional condemnation but the grassroots appear to be finding their footing. This one below hits like ridicule but isn't; see the rest of the Xeet thread.


Although the gaslighting about ceasefires, the stalling of fossil fuel-consuming nations in the face of imminent climate emergencies, and the issues of affordability of anything and everything persist.

'Fortunes Flip-Flop' Toons


When last we looked in on Democracy's Heroes, they were celebrating the fruits of their unified electoral labor in The City That Never Sleeps. Unfortunately Donkeys then did what they always do, and the threadbare cliches about snatching defeat from victory had to be powered up again.
But then Adelita Grijalva was sworn in, and suddenly the worms did a 180.

T-Dawg's mood swung straight into his gold-plated toilet.

I don’t know who started the flood of Sherlock Holmes references, but a whole lot of cartoonists and columnists have suddenly become Baker Street Irregulars.

For those who aren’t up on their Conan Doyle, the reference is to a dog that would have barked at a burglar but did not bark at a familiar figure. Of all the “dog that didn’t bark” cartoons, I like Danziger’s best because he depicts more than one dog.

Lawyer Barbie has been ordered to investigate the Democrats -- and only the Democrats -- involved in the 'Democrat Hoax'. I expect she'll promptly get to the bottom of it. Just as soon as she releases all the Epstein files she's still holding that she promised to let go of months ago.

There's lots more sexual innuendo that could be chortled over ('Bubba' is probably Jizzlane's horse and not Bill Clinton; really) but let's move on. T-Pain needs the biggest diversion he can conjure, and Venezuela is already in the crosshairs. Any minute now, they're going to get slammed.

Carville's Economic Theorem still holds: no matter the number of girls trafficked and raped, Bubbas blown or wars waged, the latest tariff TACO won't lower your grocery bill. And no matter how dumb MAGA is, a lot of them are hurting, and like us they're watching the rich live it up.

And fifty-year mortgages and fifteen-year auto loans aren't going to fix anything.


It's so good to see Clay Jones on the mend.
This caricature of Trump is the first drawing I have attempted since the stroke. Isn’t it crazy that I haven’t drawn anything in over a month? This was done with my left hand, and it was extremely difficult. I still don’t have enough stability with my right arm. I did hold a guitar pick for a few minutes today while strumming my Taylor 214. I’m not selling my guitars just yet. No, I do not plan to draw in the future with my left hand. Coincidentally enough, I drew it while waiting for an occupational therapist to arrive.

Clay still draws better than ChatGPT.

Your Mom-dani Funnies


Giddy Democrats rocked by good electoral results, roll Republicans. Who mad now?
Yes, I have used this pun before for a blog post title but that was back in June when Mam-bo won the primary. There were some one-issue voters in NYC that weren't motivated by free public transit or taxing billionaires or even *gasp* 'communism'.


(Though in Ithaca, they did elect a Communist. Yay!)

It's safe to say the GOP never saw it coming.
The case was full of baloney.


Prosecutors argued the twelve-inch sub constituted a “blunt object with extra gabagool.” The defense countered that it was merely “a peaceful expression of lunchtime dissent. Something more deli than deadly.”

The verdict marks a blow to prosecutors, proving once again that while you can indict a ham sandwich, you apparently can’t convict one.

Fall Back to the 1930s Funnies


I saved a few Halloween toons for today.
Look at your opposition party, America.

T-Pain is exactly what you see. But Kam and KJP just put their heads on the tee for him.
The Christian War on Halloween segues into the War on Xmas. Next thing you know King Donald will be threatening to invade Nigeria.

This war is at least not as deadly as an Israeli ceasefire (sic).


Alas, A Blog!:
If you publicly criticize Israel, you’ll sooner or later be confronted with the “why are you singling out Israel” critique. “There are so many nations in the world – so picking on the world’s one and only Jewish state must be motivated by antisemitism, right?”

Sometimes the 'motivated by antisemitism' part is implied rather than said, as in this essay by Professor Jeroen Bruggeman. At less rarified levels, it’s often stated more baldly, as in this question on Quora.

[...]

Few if any of Israel’s apologists who raise the “why single out Israel?” argument could honestly say they personally give equal attention to all the worlds’ crises; they typically pay far more attention to Israel than any other country.

Which is fine! People are allowed to care more about one issue than another. Even critics of Israel.

Demolition Man Toons


While we wait for Rubio's War to kick off ...
... the Epstein Ball Room has captivated the shrinking attention span of our demented, early-Alzie-onset Commandant in Chief.

There are quite a few more wars El Trumpo is planning to begin than he claims to have ended. Still he seems ... curmudgeonly about that Nobel Prize denied.
"My Country Shit on Thee"
A few state and local items:


You can find The Rag in the blog roll to the right.

RIP June Lockhart.
