Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 03, 2016

The 21st century version of the Three Musketeers.

Each for oneAll for none(other than selves)

“Three amigos” could be a good retaliation considering how DT and CC are involved with Mexicans

Christie’s been out of the spotlight lately. He makes Kasich look downright visible.

The Three Bullies of the Apocalypse?

Trudeau hits all the bases with this one! I wonder what the icon for Hilary or Bernie might be.

I’m sure nothing would make Putin happier than dealing with “President Trump.” Stalin, after all, dealt happily with Hitler (the Molotov-Ribbentrop treaty of 1939 that partitioned Poland).

Putin is dreaming sweet dreams about a President Trump.

Why does Mark look 20 years older than Rick? And Roland? Do only the original Walden residents age?

Roland Hedley leading from behind, as always.

The only thing that would top this year’s primaries would be a true presidential beauty pageant. 1st runner-up could be the VP

Christie is a sane bully (and coward) whereas Trump is an insane bully (and coward).

Hard to think of George W. Bush as a “well-meaning” sort if you read his history. More of a sniveling bully who tormented animals as a kid. His relations with his mother (she of the ‘beautiful mind’) and his academic history (there’s a photo of him punching an opposing soccer player), followed by a series of business flops primed by unearned startup money flowing from the fact that he had an influential father show him as shallow, incompetent, and entitled. Not so sure he meant well. Not even sure he meant anything. He seemed to drift from failure to failure, always bailed out by rich sugar daddies looking for favors in return.

Stcleve and RLCooke summed up our American dilemma with succintness. Thanks!

“Sarah can be secretary of White Trash.”.HEY! We have sensitive feelings too, you know.(stifling a sniffle)

No doubt you are correct. I’m certainly not the brightest bulb or very articulate. Perhaps you could respond to For a Just’s………question about how we got into this mess and I’ll be looking forward to reading an non-convoluted, non-garbled, and rational explanation.

Amazing how “unknown ethnicity” liberals love to use racial gutter language to describe whites they hate. Use similar ethnic terms to describe an individual of any other race and the gates of Hell would open. Must be nice to live in their sheltered world.

GT hit on the nail with this one. As for why he chose to draw CC and Drumpf instead of using a symbol, it is hard to tell. Some people lend themselves to being drawn more than others. Some folks have obvious characteristics for the artist to play with, such as the big hair combover.

Ironically, there is no comparison to Obama in terms of being eligible for prez. Obama was born in Hawaii. Even if some are not aware of it, Hawaii is a part of the US and has been since 1959. The former Governor of Hawaii (having known Obama’s parents) actually saw Obama just after he was born there. Few can claim such a thing. Cruz was actually born in Canada. Mccain gets a pass since he was a military brat born in Panama. The fact that some would doubt Obama’s legitimacy as prez is completely ridiculous.

OK, I stand corrected in terms of McCain. However, he is out of the running now, so it is a moot point.

And while it is true that Obama will not be able to run again, there are those who incredibly still question his legitimacy to be prez.

Ronald Rump & Chris Crisco — the Team Supreme.

My understanding was that McCain was NOT born in the Zone but just outside of it in a Panamanian Hospital. I still feel that due to his parent’s citizenship he was eligible for POTUS.Make that technically, just not by temperament, judgement, etc, etc.

@montessoriteacher“The law that gave McCain citizenship came 6 years after his birth. They illegally grandfathered him in.”.Or, they defined him to be a natural born citizen.They are empowered to do that.We decided to not elect him but we are empowered to do that.

“the answers to specifically who or what is responsible for the universal “chaos” that exists.”.I know I sound like a nay-sayer, but are you SURE there is universal chaos?Much looks orderly and peaceful.

Redkaycei Repoc said, @LameRandomName“Fascism is a right wing form of government, communist is left they are not even close to being both Marxist”.Simply saying “right wing form” and “left” doesn’t have meaning without agreed on terms..If their methods are the same or just similar, the insistence on different terms simply means you favor one over the other for some irrational reason.

Redkaycei Repoc said, @LameRandomName“Your ignorance is so humorous. A socialist is not the same thing as a communist. We live in a socialist country, we have public schools, public hospitals, public police and fire departments, public roads etc, etc,etc.”.So the existence of public schools makes you a socialist?.Therefore, you agree the Nazis and Mussolini’s Italy were socialists since they had all those public things, as did the assorted Communist Party controlled countries.

.Therefore, effectively and essentially identical.(Supporting the thought that a socialist is just a communist who’s at least ashamed to admit it, also a Nazi who’s also ashamed to admit it.)

Night-Gaunt49 said,@DavidHuieGreen“It is still be retrogression which I do believe isn’t legal. Not that anyone will or show it. It was simply allowed.”.Actually, retrogression is a return to an earlier state.This is neither the case nor illegal..You might mean “ex post facto” or after the fact.It is illegal to charge a person with violating a law which was written after the act was committed. That also is not the case here since it is effectively making something legal which was previously illegal..As an aside, many Americans do not understand why folks considered responsible for the latest financial melt-down have not been shot or at least thrown in the dungeon for actions which were not illegal at the time and aren’t even illegal now. That thinking is lawlessness.
