Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 06, 2016

Can we play checkers instead?

I remember an old “Foxtrot” strip with Jason and Marcus playing “Trumpopoly”, and getting into a squabble over their respective boats. When Paige finally snapped “Listen to you two – you’re acting like spoiled infants!” Jason replied “We’re supposed to.”

NOT ONE WORD ABOUT THE OTHER CHOICE…no guts Gary?

I like that alternate side way to Vietnam. much shorter with a bad ending. Those who support the Trump won’t like it and claim it should be Hillary’s life, which it isn’t, of course.

Ah, the comments section … where civility comes to die.

Well played, Garry, well played.

Beautiful artwork, Garry.

At least Garry puts his real name to his Internet opinions, unlike the rest of the Trumpette section here hiding behind anonymities and under tinfoil hats.

Bill Clinton dodged the draft and was honest about it. Never managed to insult war heroes and their families.

Somebody gave me one of those games way back. I actually still have it. Unplayed, of course….

Trumpies and Ditto-heads: You’ve been brainwashed for a generation by slick operators like Rush Limbaugh, Roger Ailes, and their likes. If your attention span is long enough, read Ailes memo to Nixon on how to do people’s thinking for them because they’re too lazy to do it themselves: http://gawker.com/5814150/roger-ailes-secret-nixon-era-blueprint-for-fox-news. Don’t make me the issue; read the article if you dare and decide for yourself whether you’ve been played as a pawn in the game of billionaires whose deepest desire is to tell you: “you’re fired!” They’ve been using tried and tested propaganda tools to get you to mindlessly vote against yourselves, making themselves very, very, very rich and you poorer. FOLLOW THE MONEY. No cult leader ever had a more sheep-like following than these cynical sociopaths. For the 1% to get you to think Donald Trump gives a r.a. about you is like taking candy from a baby. FOLLOW THE MONEY. Since Reagan, the only thing “trickling down” on us working people has been warm and yellow. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

“As compared to Bill Clinton who stated he “loathed the military” when faced with being drafted and weaseled out of it.”

Actually, he said that many young people in the 1960s found themselves loving their country and loathing the military. Which is an absolutely true statement. But thank you for demonstrating that you’ve been propagandized.

The amazing thing is even the Right Wing propaganda machine BELIEVES ITS OWN LIES!! Rove could not believe that Romney lost because he believed in the phony Faux News polls that he helped create?!!?!

Gary…. Reading these comments really shows how many backward and delusional right wing nut jobs there are in the USA… Scary!!!

There’s one man who is liked by a large majority of Democrats and only hated by less than half of Republicans. He could win! It’s time to RE-ELECT ABE LINCOLN!

Loved the strip today Garry. Touché my friend.

I’m surprised with all the nasty blowback. Whoda thunk Trump’s followers could actually read or comprehend the depth of this satire after years of being dumbed down by Fox News and White Supremacy delusions.

Troll Alert! Troll Alert!

I’m totally in favor of the side trip to Viet Nam. And now Trump is faking an assassination attempt, to make him seem more manly, perhaps? It’s straight out of the movie “Bob Roberts.”

If you think the slime hasn’t stuck you are looking through some very strange glasses.

Notice the the press never mentions the Trump U fraud trial that begins on November 28.

Lets see… who faces charges here? Trump for his fraudulent University comes to mind… can’t find anything that they have managed to stick on Clinton…. hmnnn.

The guy in the crowd was probably the sniper in Bosnia! Johnson/Weld 2016

All that work on today’s comic, and I’m not taking the time to read that mess.

Very impressive work today. I am glad to put in the time to read it and really glad GT put in the time to draw/write it. GT has always had politics in his work. He started during the Vietnam/Watergate era. It is not as if he could have ignored Vietnam/Watergate. Current events will be part of our lives whether a Democrat or Republican is elected. I do think that Republicans are funnier, so easier to work with in that respect. GT has even said so in interviews regarding the Amazon TV show he wrote.

This is Mr. Trudeau’s strip. It’s not the news. He doesn’t have to present any viewpoint besides his own. If you haven’t learned that, please stop reading the comics and watch the network whose news is “fair and balanced”.

I didn’t bother to read it.

After a fun round of Trump Cards, this should take me to election night.

By the way, Mr “Successful Businessman” is now up to seven bankruptcies; his Canadian hotel went bust yesterday.

Put everything else about Trump aside and consider this: having said he would, Chris Wallace during the third debate asked him if he really would. Yes definitely he would, of course he would: give nukes to the Saudis. Nukes. To the Saudis. Our 9/11 attackers.

Hello Joshua

Strange Game…the only winning move is not to play.

How about a nice game of chess?

“There is a profound doubt in this country about the importance of expertise and knowledge”Theories that originated in left wing academics in France and elsewhere questioning whether can truly be known as fact began taking hold in America in the 1970s and 80s There is a connection between that and the rhetoric that has been spread by the GOTP in this political race.

“The belief is that there is no objective truth-if we want something to be real, then its real” said Kevin Mattson, Ohio University Professor.Which totally describes the entire Trump campaign. People in the rust belt dream of getting their middle class jobs back and Trump feeds on that dream. Unfortunately, those jobs are gone, never to return

Not that it applies to your sorry situation, but faced with two hideous right wing candidates in the Chirac/ Le Pen runoff, the left slogan was ‘Vote for the crook, not the facist’.

Note for the hardcore Trumpites (btw, look up what trump means in Britain – f*rt censored for dency’s sake), Chirac went on to be president of France; that is a country in Europe; Europe can be found by getting a globe and turning it clockwise from a starting position of the Americas.

I didn’t realize so many wing nuts were in your fan base.SJK

He supports women choosing what to do with their bodies unlike your side, the slaver side wish to not only tell women what to do but to threaten imprisonment if they down’ kowtow to the master———you.

you forgot ‘slime disabled journalist’!

Bill opposed the Vietnam War – for the very good reasons that it was racist, illegal & immoral – and protested against it. He considered trying for Conscientious Objector status, but decided he could not honestly say he was against war in all cases on moral grounds, so he entered the draft with everyone else – and by luck, was not drafted; no weaselling at all.Drump suddenly developed “heel spurs” the day his academic deferments were up, which magically “cured” the day his jeopardy was up, and which somehow did not prevent him from anything except serving. And he supported the war for anyone who wasn’t him. That, my friend, is a weasel on a level with Quayle & W. There is no comparison between Bill & Don the Con – and Don is the scumbag there.

What is really sad is that after next week, no matter what the result, half the nation will feel disenfranchised, and rightly so.

Trumpettes will have a fine old time ripping down America and rebuilding it in Trump’s ugly image.

I never see the same faces insisting on political balance at Mallard Fillmore, Day By Day, or Prickly City. In fact, I don’t see anybody doing it.

My city’s paper printed this without the going to Vietnam part. They also printed it so small it could hardly be read by anyone without a magnifying glass.

Anybody notice the small hands?
