Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 25, 2024

His followers regularly violate the First Commandment.

Notice that tRump is stuck in Hazards and Missing his Swings while trying to expand his God brand. Lots of Symbolism, which I’m still trying to parse.

34x CONVICTED FELON DonOLD Trump (Grumpy Trumpy the joyless) has violated every single one of the Ten Commandments. If he is going to stand with his cult worshippers as they demand that the text of a specific religion — literally an “establishment of religion — be posted in school classrooms, then Trump should be required to recite them.

Better yet ask him why he personally has violated every single one of them, starting with having his worshippers build graven images — golden (fools’ gold) idols that they bow down to as they did at a CPAC conference — that he lets them worship before the Biblical god and every other one from adultery, to stealing and definitely coveting.

And in addition to breaking all of the Ten Commandments, Trump is the total poster child for every single one of the seven deadly sins — pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth — now being transformed into an object of worship by his cult.

tRump and his followers are so WEIRD!

Commandments, like rules, were made to be broken.

Still waiting for anyone’s god to be proven to have existed. It’s still the world’s oldest and most lucrative con so far, even surpassing Trump in dollars grifted from the gullible.

Why, he is God-fearing, he sells Bibles. I’m surprised he hasn’t come out with “gold” plated rosaries and Menorahs.

Be nice if he respected the copyrights of others as much as he demands respect for his own branding… I guess that’s like asking fish to swim to the moon.

I don’t wonder if the Orange Baboon plans to re-write the Bible—substituting “Trump” for “God”!! BTW, he’s definitely guilty of violating the commandment “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery”!

The Fat Orange Clown and Religion

Eventually the FOCer (Fat Orange Clown) will realize that going at it piecemeal using the sales department is too slow. Since organized religion is the never ending tax free Ponzi scheme he needs to start anew.

The con will be complete when he announces that he is the son of the all knowing deity, known by different names throughout the world, who is to be worshipped and never questioned. His flatulence is the incense that accompanies the Bigly Chant.

Weekends are to be only for him when only he can be golfing as his worshippers must tithe their wealth to him on Saturday and on Sunday. He will funnel a portion to his Legal Team of Angels.

In return if enough contributions are made then he alone can fix the world in one day and stop all natural disasters that befall upon the true believers every year They will know that this is true when the DoJ led by the Blue Devils (not associated with any college basketball team) crucify him.

For Trump, the MAGAots, and the Republican Party in general, the listing is “The Ten Requests”.

“Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.”

Taken in the most literal sense, doesn’t that mean worshipping gods behind him, and/or gods metaphorically right next to Him , is perfectly okay?

You can’t hurry love;

You don’t count Mulligans;

You Cannot Satirise The Unmentionable.

Nothing is as funny/crass/deplorable as TFG Live.

It took a long time, but I finally found the scandal that breaks them. When they make a comment, ask about the lottery where the top prize was dinner with Trump. None of his fans got to sit down with Donnie because he despises them.

I notice Trudeau still does Trump very rotund, but he seems to have slimmed down a lot recently. Maybe Ozempic? His suits are starting to look baggy which suggests the weight’s coming off faster than his tailor can keep up. No hate (at least not about this) just pointing out the need for a caricature update!

I just checked the most recent speech of his to see if this is still true, by the way, and the random thing he was saying when I clicked was that “No one is going to be burning the American flag, you burn the American flag, you go to jail for a year.” So… first of all, dude, Bill of Rights? It’s a whole thing, ever hear of it? And second… Dude, THIS is what you obsess about?

Not to get all serious, but the first four are essentially a relationship agreement. I’ll be your God, and you won’t go out with any other gods. Don’t use my image or my name to do harm. And for the love of … well, Me … get some rest because everybody needs a day off!

The other six are, of course, all about how we treat each other — things Trump would never want to bother with. Especially that adultery one. And that stealing one. And the lying one. And ……..

Well, we know he’s broken 5 of those 6. And possibly all of them depending on how you view his incompetence and culpability during Covid.

But ya gotta give ‘ol Donnie points for transparency. Remember the interview where he was asked what his favorite Bible passages were? Orange One demurred, saying how that was a “personal thing”. The Phatt Phool obviously didn’t know any.

His followers should use the slogan “Christians for Adultery.”

DonOLD and his Trumpanzees. WEIRD

Gary T. a comic strip God genius.

Saturday is the seventh day, so Saturday is the Sabbath.

Trump is for republican losers.

adultery is for losers

Far too true to be funny. Anyone who believes Little Donnie is religious – on any level at any time – is too brain dead to dress themselves. VOTE BLUE!!!

What church did philandering bible salesman felon Trump go to today?

I wonder why Trudeau is the only political cartoonist that GoComics allows to have a comments section right now? He must have sent them a check.

I love this one! Trump or one of his staff is going – Oh, yeah, we can do that … (the leather bound four commandments)

He will be our president in less than 80 days. We will be thanking God for that.

Good reading. Google: trump vs harris polls

Trump has finally found intelligence but, sadly, it is artificial.

Google: Trump v Harris live: Trump posts AI photo of himself riding a lion while Kamala dominates personality poll

Although not as central as in Judaism and Christianity, Islam, as an Abrahamic religion, does accept the Ten Commandments. My understanding is that this is especially true regarding the relationship between God and man.

Uhh. The Fourth Commandment says, “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.” The Sabbath was and is the seventh day, not the eighth.

Then again this is Religion According to Trump, so I guess all pretenses of fact and truth are off the table.

nailed it. unfort, his followers overlook it.

Isn’t he already selling branded bibles?

Fun fact: If you read the actual law text, you’ll notice that the version of the ten commandments that the law requires that people use is a shorter, abridged version. (The text of the second one is a good example.) This means that the “ten commandments” people need to post must not be the actual commandments found in the Bible. Using the actual Biblical text, and not a distorted, shorter version, is forbidden by law.

Historically, the other six were ignored when inconvenient. All ten hang in churches, yet we still hear about scandals involving priests stealing, lying, spreading hate, encouraging violence, being greedy, having affairs with adults (and younger), etc.

“Good Christians” elected an adulterous liar so that the government would let them control womens’ bodies again. I’d say they compromised on their beliefs, if I ever thought they actually believed their own holy book.

I saw where a whole bunch of his Family Value Christians made a mockery of Gus Walz’s reaction to his father’s nomination. What a bunch of so and so’s. Can’t say more as it won’t publish. The only thing they care about for Commandments is putting them everywhere, not actually following any of them.

Back when the Ten Comandments came out the Sabbath was on Saturday starting at sunset on Friday.

Having an uncle at (insert impressive top tier school name here) does not confer intellect or academic prowess by proxy. Every family has its share of genius, mediocre, and dimwit. Some, however, have an even greater share of the latter than the former! If YOU had a relative that was a bank robber, does that automatically make you a dangerous felon?

Actually the ten commandments are also part of islam

It would pair well with his golden boots and autographed Bible.

For some reason, noticed today how GT has drawn Trump’s hands, somewhat disproportionately small.

The real reason the Ten Commandments have been removed fro govrnment buildings? With language like “Thou shalt not steal,” “Thou shalt not bear false witness,” “Thou shalt not commit adultary,” “Thou shalt not kill,” “Thou shalt not covet what is thy neighbor’s,”… It creates a very uncomfortable working environment for politicians and government employees!

Best to stick with Trump. There’s nothing funny about the genocidal maniacs of the Democratic Party.

I think you nailed him this time!

Where is the blood on Traitor Trump’s hands? The funny thing is, that’s how Traitor Trump’s “thought process” actually works. And it’s even worse now, with syphilis eating away at his tiny little brain.

Another great Sunday (contemporaneous) Doonesbury.

I love the way the commandments are described in panels 5 and 6. It’s funny because it’s basically true!

Trump condemns himself with his own words and actions. Judgement looms heavily on him. Can you smell the sulfur?

Why does everybody think there are only ten commandments in the Bible, they seem to forget about the other 603. I broke one of them last night, I ate a pork chop.

Thou shalt not covet thy Lord’s commandments nor publish in abridged form.

Yeah, that one about adultery is especially meaningless, eh, Donald?

No mention of the Ten Commandments would be complete without reviewing George Carlin’s take on the subject:

 youtube.Com/watch?v=sk81tUUhRig

Better to have an uncle at MIT unless that uncle is former US Attorney General Bill Barr’s father.*

obscurity reference: Bill Barr’s father allegedly brought Jeffrey Epstein into MIT, which launched Epstein’s circle of trafficking through Epstein’s connections made while there

Not a bad argument for the nonexistence of beneficent deities.

Dear Mr. Trudeau: Please do not give Dumba$$ Don the Treason Weasel any ideas!

Yeah, especially those coveting ones.

Well, in Gary’s mind, Trump has four. Gary has zero.

The trouble is, I could believe this conversation happened! In the disgtant past when he could still put a sentence together.

Are the Big 10 above or below presidential immunity?

Muslims do have the Ten Commandments, though they’re slightly different.

There’s the added golf clause in “Honor the Sabbath day…” It’s a sacrament.

I just read the following article in the latest The Atlantic last night. Downright frightening how brainwashed these religious people are. The article: The Most Revealing Moment of a Trump Rally which is an analysis of the prayers said at the rallies. I think we need to be prepared for political violence no matter which way things go.

tRump

Unfortunately.

Too funny and close to truth! Lmao.

But Trump’s literal golden idol was just fine, apparently?

and he’s broken every one of them so many times it fit on a roll of Scott 1000 sheet T.P.

Love the way Trudeau draws Trump’s (lack of) hair, lol!

Looks like Donny’s in the rough these days.

There already is a Trump Seminary. It’s called the Republican Party

Got some bad news for Trudeau and the rest of the Christians. The sabbath was Saturday until Pope Gregory made a mess of everything. Now the 4th commandment is just meaningless.

I love that he’s fishing his ball out of the hazard. Two points: first, what a cheapskate. Second, you know that penalty stroke didn’t end up on the scorecard.

And that list they like to cite and post everywhere — including in public schools that are Constitutionally charged to show no religious favoritism — isn’t even the Ten Commandments.

The phrase “ten commandments” occurs just three times in the Old and New Testaments, and only once with an actual list of ten things to do/not do (among the hundreds of laws in the OT, which include such sins as tattoos and eating catfish) or else.

The actual Ten Commandments are listed in Exodus 34, and talk about breaking donkey necks, boiling baby goats in their mothers’ milk, observing the Feast of Weeks, and gathering every male in the nation together in one place three times a year for a communal browbeating/peptalk.

The reason theocrats push the so-called Ten Commandments (whether the so-called Protestant version or the so-called Catholic version), and not the actual Ten Commandments as literally named in their handbook, is either that they don’t really know what their handbook says, or they do know but also know that trying to manufacture future theocrats by posting — where public school students can’t avoid seeing it — stuff about strangling donkeys, along with the implication that the creator of the universe demonizes goat au gratin moreso than murder (which is not on the list), would likely be counter-productive.

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me; 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image; 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy; 5. Honour thy father and thy mother; 6. Thou shalt not murder; 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery; 8. Thou shalt not steal; 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour; and10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, or his wife, or his slaves, or his animals, or anything of thy neighbour.

I suppose it’s faintly odd that Trump actually remembers Trff’s name. It’s my understanding that he doesn’t excel at such things.

I read somewhere (if I could cite the source, I would) that “Honor thy father and mother” means to care for your parents in their old age, as they cared for you in your youth. I think it’s fair to say that not a lot of Bible aficionados are aware of that. :-|

I hope the first panel doesn’t get dropped “for space”> That’s trump more than anything else could say.

And to save time and argument,Arizona has already declared Trump the loser

The kneejerk use of “Weird” is degrading the brand from the halcyon days of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Mr. Walz is actually pretty weird, himself, but he’s already worked it too much. It’s liable to fall off.

Did anyone notice every time the orange mop-head is ready to hit the ball, he is in some sort of weird situation off the course! That is not good for his handicap or official score. But then TRFF is there to fix it all!

I just did a Google search. Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all have the Ten Commandments. It’s off that Trudeau would get this so wrong.

Try the seven commandments of Noah.
