Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 16, 2013

If only it were that simple…if only!

I wonder when GT will get around to creating an avatar for the current resident of the White House. With all the scandals involving the current administration you’d think there would be more strips poking fun at him, like GT used to do every other day when Bush was in office.

cue Nelson on the commenters re supposed contemporary scandals: HA ha. you mean the “scandals” with no legs? the ones mis-staged and mischaracterized by the dweebs in the house? the ones following which the presidet’s approval rating has only remained steady or improved? cue Nelson. repeatedly.

CELEBRATE WHAT WE HAVE IN COMMON??!! I didn’t see that coming either! And Jeff’s reason – so in character – to appeal to “chicks”. I LOVE this strip! GT seems to have so much insight into what it is to be human, with all our flaws and surprising virtues.

Even the trolls are stuck on re-runs. There’s a group whose sabbaticals I could get behind.

Does he realize the NSA is monitoring that soccer app? Oh, I see! He’s planting an intelligence source inside the Taliban! :)

In Afganistan peace comes when the invaders give up and go home, until the next invasion.

The Christmas truce!

I like how you call our current “fearless leader” by his first name, it shows you have a great deal of respect for your dear old friend, even though we see you are a sheep thats easily lead by the crowd, & eager to believe whatever you are told by faux news.

If you were intelligent enough to think for yourself, you would soon discover that it does not matter who is inserted into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The outcome is still the same. Every year we loose more freedoms & liberty, while the taxes on the working people become greater & corporate welfare becomes more prevalent . They need sheep like you to keep the battle going between us, so no one will take the time to actually see what politics is doing to our once great country. I’m sure you are very proud of your ignorance, I see it in every post you make.

Yeah, SkepticCal, Benghazi with 4 dead is FAR more scandalous than 9/11. There were clues leading up to 9-11, none before Benghazi, but Again, Benghazi is far worse!!..in the mind of idiots! Bush was a joke and morons like you cant admit it :)

Yeah, garbage with benefits……

AND G. H. W. Bush has a post-presidency favorable rating of 62% and Clinton 69% favorable.

W.’s post-presidency favorable is at 49%. Still pitiful.

Hey, troll, all those things have been shown to not have any substance and are in fact republican/tea party side show acts.

All designed to, in my opinion, to distract from the fact the republican/tea party were put into office to help in creating jobs.. Instead do nothing more than block and fight a sitting president.

As was already stated, it doesn’t really matter who is in the WH, a little more or less salt, but the powers that be set the stage.You have to remember that W set the ball rolling(while his VP called the shots, dictated by the corporations).Any freedom taken away, makes our government more repressive.The PTB want this and we need to fight it

Right, because that’s worked so well in every other stupid war.

Along with the dailies, the Sunday strips will be in reruns for the next 12 weeks.

“President George W. Bush now more popular than Usurper Barry.”-Now, now. You know he isn’t really a usurper, that he was elected to the position by the Electoral College in accordance with the Constitution.You really should be more honest if you want people to believe you.

“All we are saying iw, Give peace a chance.”-And it had its chance and its adherents were wiped out by those who did not like the idea and could not be opposed by those who insisted on being peaceful.-This is why when you know you are facing a nation which is disinterested in peace, you would be wise to avoid them and let them war one each other.Even as they hang their daughters from goal posts.-At least WE would be at peace, of sorts.

“Imagine if the soldiers on both sides decided to kill all their leadership for starting that stupid war? How much better would history had been?”-So you want the military to stage a coup and overturn the government of the United States of America.-HEY, NSA! OVER HERE. PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS FELLOW.PRETTY PLEASE.HE WANTS THE MILITARY TO KILL OUR PRESIDENT.

“DON’T FEED THE TROLL!!!!”-But he’s hungry

GuardSGT, we’ve been through all of your “not a natural-born citizen” nonsense before. Several of us posted solid factual refutations of your assertions. But, because this comment section is new each day, it’s easy for you to repeatedly post your mindless bleatings.Pres. Obama was born in Hawaii, which means he was a natural-born citizen for his entire life. Plus, his mother was a US citizen. Not that it matters, because as I’m sure you know, kids born in the US to non-citizen parents are citizens. So even if his mother’s citizenship had ever been in question – which it was not – he is a citizen by virtue of place of birth. Period.Go ahead and post your nonsense, though. I and others will refute it with solid factual references, just like we did before. You know, the times before when you tried it, and eventually stopped trying to defend your completely false claims.I know you will never listen to reason – your hatred prevents that – but I continue to refute your lies because someone may be reading this who might fall for your baloney if it’s left standing.
