Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 10, 2016

President Trump will have a portrait of Col. John M. Chivington in the Oval Office.

Time travel, and Trump will have framed the first million dollars his dad gave him for the wall.

Shouldn’t President Trump just send in some drones to kill everyone in the vicinity with a “targeted surgical strike” like the present holder of the office.

Unfortunately there is a considerable right wing audience..I just looked up the monster john m chivington.Whoa, what an MF he was. He should have been beheaded.

Drumpf has actually said what is in today’s strip. Wow.

Remember chivington from ‘Bury my heart at wounded knee.’

Yes, Trump is the Salafi terrorists’ best friend; they must refer to him often in their recruiting.

There is nothing at all new in either this ‘literature’ about the Red Rascal, or in the sayings of Chairman Trump. Way back in the days of the Roman Empire, the Tyrant Lucius Sulla had anyone on his ‘list’ slaughtered; the list kept growing. And then there were Stalin and Hitler in more recent days.

Violence and hatred of those who are even slightly different is not the exclusive province of only one end of a political spectrum…

While I agree that Drumpf is nothing new, I do not see him decorating the Oval Office with images of anyone but himself. Maybe a nude of his daughter, but that’s it.

To: YngvarNo doubt that nude would be painted by JJ, since we already had a storyline of Trump hiring her to paint his yacht.

Or, as Stalin put it, “No man, no problem.”

Trump is no laughing matter, but I think Cruz is more dangerous. Trump makes for better “entertainment” in the media and sells more advertising which is the point. Cruz can lurk behind this relative inattention to his benefit and our detriment.

If there is an audience for Trudeau’s tripe, there’s an audience for anything.

Unfortunately not an original way to fight one’s enemies.

I would definitely prefer Clinton or sanders over anyone in the GOP side. We also have no way of knowing whether Drumpf would learn nuance once elected.

The garbage that comes out of Red Rascal’s mind can’t compare to the reality of the puke that comes out of Trump’s mouth.

The long election lines created by unneeded GOP laws to suppress voters are the Jim Crow laws of today. The GOP can’t win other than by cheating anymore. They want to make it hard for us real Americans to vote in the larger cities.

Talk sense to a foolish person and he calls you foolish.—Euripedes

Actually, the GOP not only wants to make it harder for us real Americans in larger cities to vote by voter suppression laws, they have succeeded in doing so. They have even said so themselves.

The real point of this is the last panel. Sadly, in real life, it goes like:

“Wow. There’s an audience for Trump?”

“Apparently…”

Glad I come here for this comic, the Chicago Tribune submitted a different Doonesbury today.

We can thank Euripides of Ancient Greece today for all calling out all our trolls on the internet.

To understand Trump even better Google “William Calley Jimmy Carter”

what montessoriteacher said

“He was but one of many. For every one like him, there were dozens who cheered his actions.”.Yep, 19th history is a mixed bag. One of the “co-architects” of the Sand Creek Massacre was John Evans, namesake of Mount Evans, a prominent “fourteener” just west of Denver. Evans was a KKK leader and anti-Indian crusader. He was also one of the founders of both Northwestern University and the University of Denver (the latter with Chivington!)..Many society leaders had views and actions that are abhorrent today. Evans’s portrait is still in galleries as a governor of Colorado Territory..Even so, the Sand Creek Massacre was considered such an an atrocity that he was forced to resign the governorship and was left out of Colorado’s campaign for statehood..We thought we were moving forward. Then along comes Trump. Sigh.

The Angry Granny as compared to the Grandpa that tells his supporters to “punch him in the face,” or “take their coats!”

If Abraham Lincoln were here today, he would no doubt spend a great deal of time vomiting at the thought of Donald Trump (which, as thin as he already was, could not possibly be good for his health…….)

Given the mass of rough edges Trump has so far failed to shed since landing in the public eye, I have no expectation of him becoming more rational once you hand him the “Bully Pulpit.”

At least reading comments like these today gives me some hope that not all Americans are rightwing nutjobs!

That’s just one of the problems with torture. Not only is it cruel and unusual punishment, but it’s punishment meted out upon suspects, not convicts. They have not yet been through the due process of law and found guilty. The American criminal justice system presumes innocence until proven guilty. The use of torture perverts that system.

You betcha there’s an audience.

If Jeff is “The red Rascal” could Donald be “The Yellow Rascal” ?

Come on, you should recognize sarcasm by now. DHG is a stand up guy. I have never read anything by DHG to support “mass murder.”

“we KNOW that you think that mass murder is a GOOD THING”.Don’t know where you got that idea.I believe if one is going to murder people, one should do it personally and selectively, lest he kill someone who doesn’t deserve it.
