Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 19, 2018

You want to talk about a disastrous season? The 1978 NY Giants, topped off by the “Miracle at the Meadowlands,” when Larry Csonka fumbled a hand off when the QB should’ve taken a knee to run out the clock.

Too much even for Uncle Duke — out of even his league. And actually, even a Balkan/Adriatic über dictator could hardly have come up with a child trafficking crime ring that kidnaps babies from parents LEGALLY applying for ASYLUM under U.S. law and international treaties to which the U.S. is signatory.

And … wait for it … they did this AFTER dropping a bombshell “revelation” blaming Hillary for a child trafficking ring in a D.C. pizzeria that actually caused a crazed, loony Trumper to show up, armed, to free the nonexistent children.

Trump, Putin and Bannon are laughing their asses off. Manafort, their stooge, was laughing, too, until Mueller nabbed the criminal, locked him away, and Manafort laughs no more.

Beware Trump, Bannon, Don Jr, Ivanka and Jared. Big Mueller is watching. And he’s coming for you. Take no prisoners? Oh, he takes prisoners all right. Just ask Manafort.

A bridge too far.

Trff Bmzklfrpz is also the name of Helen Keller’s dog!

Good ol’ Duke never ages!

Trff and Miller…the dynamic duo of deceit and disastrous decisions!

Trff actually was from central Asia.

Another Doonesbury character who fits right in with the reaction to trump. If we have to have our consciousness continually invaded by him, we have to find our own ways to fight back. They don’t call it The Resistance for nothing. Thanks, GT. There are lots of other figures in our culture fighting back too. Dave Chappelle has a lot to say about trump in his new Netflix special. Dave is not a trump fan.

Uncle Duke is Paul Manafort.

More good old Uncle Duke and Zonker

Manafort will be pardoned, and the law and order republicans will say nothing.

Started by Obama.

The shame of being a GM for the Washington Redskins anytime is more than even Duke can carry !

How prescient has Mr. Trudeau been all these years? We have come to see the rise of oppressive dictators and publicity firms white washing their brutal regimes – Bell Pottinger, Cambridge Analytica. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/06/25/the-reputation-laundering-firm-that-ruined-its-own-reputation

Rodrigo Duterte! Recep Tayyip Erdogan! Abdel Fattah el-Sisi! Kim Jong Un! King Salman!

Trff – finally an admired dictator Trump can buy and use. Not sure he’ll stay bought, I doubt his loyalties except to the $$$$.

People who don’t appreciate political commentary should probably not read Doonesbury. Bad for the digestion, you know.

RWNJs have Mallard Fillmore. They should go hang out there.

Why do newspapers always remove the first 2 panels. Not just this strip either

I guess Miller can stomach Alphabet Boy as an immigrant, since he was a dictator, after all, and trump must love him.

Deep cuts are the best cuts.

It appears that many in the GOP think trump will be president for life, as in their cheering him on in treatment of John Brennan last week.
