"Of Thee I Weep" Toons


If we're candid with each other, America at 250 doesn't look very happy or healthy even if you're MAGA; the cracks are showing (and oozing).


If you're cashing in ... well, it's good to be the king. Or related. Or pals.
If all you can manage is hate for your fellow American ... business is also good.

"Imbeciles". Now there's a theme.
Pat Hudson is an Austrailian toonist nailing the xenophobic fear and loathing that is sweeping the globe, not just in his country and in the US but also in western Europe.


We're certainly full of imbeciles and ignorance in Texas.

And so is the SCOTUS.
Republican emotions haven't been the only thing heating to a boil.

Enjoy your cookout.

Swamping the Drains Funnies


Upon reflection ...

T-Grump's Green New Scummy Deal was the week's low-hanging toon fruit. We all have bigger issues than a little algae. Like say, anger management. Mental health.
Trillionaires looking for the real killers (not just screwworms).

Yeah, I got 99 problems but being Skeered of Soshulism ain't one. See, these are DEMOCRATIC Socialists. So: Democrats. Social Democrats. SocDems. Or SockDems.

Gonna be a hot socialist summer. Speaking of scorching, it's good that the climate crisis is finally getting more attention.

And tremendous concern about our kids being influenced by ... *ahem*

Shart of the Deal Toons


The latest: JD Vance is in Switzerland for ongoing "peace talks" as Iran recloses the Strait of Hormuz due to Israeli incursions in southern Lebanon.

These are some truly hideous creatures.

With “friends” like these, who needs a fascist collaborator? NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill rode into office on a (blue) wave of goodwill last fall, with promises to “increase government accountability”. And as recently as this past February, she signed an executive order barring ICE from operating on state-owned property.

Jesse Duquette typically reserves his wrath for Trump and the GOP.
How sad it was, then, to see her answer the pleas of the peaceful protestors at Delaney Hall by siccing the New Jersey state police on them. If nothing else, this type of betrayal serves as a reminder that (white) people in power will almost always use an increasingly violent police force to solve a problem, as that is the only tool in the box they are comfortable with.

Not just the pols.
News item: A few San Francisco Giants players protested Pride Night at the ballpark by writing Bible verses on their caps.
"Masculine and Manly" toons were two weeks ago.


News item:"Elon Musk becomes first trillionaire to be guillotined"

Duopoly News, but first some non-duopoly news: a Texas Libertarian was elected to the Rosenberg city council by three votes in the May runoff elections. Meanwhile in the Big Dank City, Kuffner is scooting his booty on the carpet again over third-party candidates trying to get on the ballot (no screwworms; the vet just needs to express his anal glands). Chuckles is no longer as good at Donkey pom-pom waving as Michelle Davis, but at least he doesn't chronically pretend that voting for jackasses is about democracy, like Neil. Seriously. If Texas Democrats can't get it done in 2026, that will be nobody's fault but theirs. And sure enough, as they convene in Corpus this week, they stand a better than even chance of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by their own infighting.


The Texas GOP convention in Houston last week was by every account an unmitigated disaster for the 30-year majority party. The atmospheric conditions are overripe for a blue tsunami in November, but these people could f up a wet dream. I am the senior voice of experience here. If it motivates you, take my pessimism as your challenge.
