Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 23, 2020

Duke is truly a holy man!

Newt’s a wowzer, but he’s on his own with Chamin.

And the GOP Platform henceforth will never be changed. ICE needs guidance too.

With the new SCOTUS that will be doable.

It is scary how these themes come back, like bell-bottoms and Marcia Brady hair.

In this strip, it’s 1995, monitors are big clunky desk-eating boxes, and children are being abused fr profit. It’s 2020, monitors are flat and children are still being abused for profit. Isn’t it interesting how we pick and choose what areas to make progress in?

Newt’s Contract on America was the beginning of the darkness we are experiencing today.

Is that collar chafing you yet, Duke?

I was wondering what happened to Newt Gingrich. What a tenuous link.

And hand them over to a middle-aged, unfit, unwed, “Father”?!

Ah, THAT Newt. I had so successfully repressed that memory, too.

Newt’s disciples are still screwing our once proud and respected country.

It sounds like a Dickensian sort of situation developing here. Not exactly Boys Town is it? I wonder if it would even be legal to create a “Boys” town these days. Times change and we must too.

Ah, the old “Contract on America” era. Back when the government bothered to disguise kidnapping.

If Duke is just taking the kids, who is paying for his “services?”

Man does this reverberate to the present. How many firms are profiting off the kidnapped children in cages at the border?
