What
Trump Wants
I've
been getting a common
reaction to this
cartoon along
the lines of "Trump
is too stupid to
do anything like
this."
You're not paying
attention.
The man is not stupid.
He is certainly not
an intellectual but
he's a Level-90
narcissist and
has Putin pouring
sweet poison into
his ear, telling
him
exactly
how to
pivot this country
from a corporate
fascist state to
an authoritarian
kakistocracy. He
also is surrounded
by a cadre of "advisors"
who wake up every
morning imagining
new ways to make
everything a little
worse for the workers
of this country and
a lot better for
the compulsive
accumulators of wealth.
While I'm on the
subject, "Fuck You,
Zuckerberg!"
Trump is following
their scripts. The
GOP is in on the
scam but will simply
hide behind cover,
quietly
shedding their skins,
until, oh, let's
say a nuke-related
event in a major
city occurs sometime
in late September. A
national emergency
will be pronounced,
perhaps even one
shutting
down the internet
and cell phone service.
(Yes, Trump, with
his 5-4 SCOTUS
could do that.)
Antifa
will
be blamed
for
the attack and soldiers
will be
posted on every corner
in every city, indefinitely. Right-wing
media will go 24/7
terrorism and fear
will settle across
this land like 60s-era
smog in LA.
I am, of course,
spit-balling here
but in 2016 I was
banging
every
drum
I could find about
this miserable orange
fecal bolus that
now festers behind
the Resolute Desk
and the dark possibilities
he would represent
as the Oaf of Office.
At
the moment all common
logic says that Trump
will lose the election
in a landslide, but Trump
will do anything
within his power
NOT to lose this
election.
Anything.
So while Trump may
not literally cancel
elections, a voting
system depending
on the internet and
not near enough paper
ballots would be
enough to postpone
them.
For how long?
Ask
Trump.

The
NFL may say"Black
Lives Matter".
And NASCAR drivers
plan on kneeling
before
their next race.
But you can always
count on Fox News
to continue to deliver
the same venomous
ball of hate to this
country.

Bunker Boy: "That
old man that fell
down as the police
were giving him hugs
and free hydroxychloroquine?
He was shot by Hillary
Clinton from behind
the grassy knoll."
-----------
We wouldn't say "Defund
the police". We
need to say "Rethink
the police".
And, while we're
at it, let's rethink
the Second Amendment,
too.

Trump recently walked
into a Maine medical
factory without a
mask or gloves and
contaminated all
of that day's
production. It all
had to be thrown
out.
That's nothing.
Trump walked into
the White house three
years ago and contaminated
everything in America.
It's time to throw
it all out.
-----------
"Operator, can
you please give me
the number to Antifa's
main office?"
"There is no
business by that
name, sir."
"Okay. Can you
give me the number
to
the KKK?"
"Certainly,
sir. What city do
you live
in?"

A Special Note to
all of you Raging
Pencilnecks...
I've been amiss with
my cartoonin' recently
because:
1.
I'm so proud of the
huge crowds of people
risking life and
limb protesting the
death of George
Floyd I can hardly
breathe.
2. I've had some
extracurricular business
that's meant a lot
of sleepless nights,
a business whose
deets I'll be happy
to share
if
all goes well.
Maybe real soon.
Stay safe. Wash your
hands and keep your
fingers out of your
nose. You can put
them in other people's
nose if you know
them well enough,
though.
