    ā€¦only trouble is it portrays DT as someone capable of actual sarcasm. Heā€™s never said anything witty in his life.

    No, Iā€™m a judge legally accepting bribes. This court has no ethics whatsoever. Other courts maybe, but not this one.

    No, unless Iā€™m found guilty AND have to serve actual prison time, it does not count as legal trouble. If you doubt that, ask any Trump Disciple.

    No, Iā€™m banning things that are ā€˜wokeā€™ . Since there is no definition of what ā€˜wokeā€™ means, books are only one type of things that are banned. Only I can ban it, kind of like ā€œonly I can fix it!ā€, but please donā€™t tell you know who, I said that. Heā€™ll say bad things about me and Iā€™m not really, you know, so brave.

    R.I.P Al Jaffee. I recently acquired a reprint of the 1956-57 ā€œTrumpā€ magazine (two issues), where some of Jaffeeā€™s earliest work appears, and he was a force to be reckoned with right from the start.

    This is great, spot-on political satire and a very satisfying dose of nostalgia all rolled into one neat package! Oh to be, say, 12 again with a new Mad Magazine in my hands!

    ā€œDid you settle Dominionā€™s defamation suit out-of-court because you knew you would lose the case?ā€

    ā€œNo, Fox is just incredibly generous, and we give money to PLENTY of causes!ā€

    ā€œNo, Tucker Carlson came down with laryngitis and couldnā€™t testify, so it was a medical decision.ā€

    ā€œWe only offered to pay them in M & Mā€™s !ā€

    I think Al Jaffee would be honored by this tribute. It is done perfectly in his style and sense of wicked humor.

    Only thing missing is the ā€œfourth lineā€ in every panel, where the readers could supply their own answersā€¦usually with language that would get us banned hereā€¦
