Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 15, 2024

I had a thought yesterday: Trump is NOT president yet, so he doesn’t have “presidential immunity”. He can still be sentenced for the 34 counts of which he was found guilty earlier this year. And he’s still liable for arrest for other indictments. What would it take to coax the judge in the Stormy Daniels hush-money case to impose a prison sentence of, say, four years? Of course, Vance the Vonce would then be POTUS, but I believe he may be easier to deal with than the power-mad Orange Baboon! BTW, “vonce” is the Yiddish word for “bedbug”. As a child, I heard my mother use that term a lot referring to people she didn’t like.

The Orange Man is never going to see the inside of a jail cell; all those doors were unlocked by his cronies, all the way to the Supreme Court.

After many years, it suddenly registered on me that, since we’ve been told that Zipper is the son of Zonker’s sister, yet he nevertheless has the surname “Harris,” does that mean that he was born out of wedlock? Or did Zonker’s sister marry a man whose surname also happened to be “Harris”? Despite the obvious jokes, that wouldn’t necessarily mean they were blood relatives; “Harris” is a rather common name.

Handwringing weeping lefties make my day. You lost in a landslide. Get over it.

Ah, I see you are CAS!

A lot of colleges send letters encouraging people they have no intention of accepting to apply for admission. That increases their reject rate and makes them appear more ‘selective’ in the ratings.

Thanks, but I’ll pass, getting kind of sad here in Doonesbury chat land.

Colleges are studentnappers according to Zipper…..

It’s the school of hard knocks that counts

I had a “problem” like that. My grades weren’t very good — I was obstinately allergic to homework, I often behaved toward my teachers in a manner worthy of Sheldon Cooper, and I only passed by doing well on exams, and my guidance counselor didn’t think very highly of me and said so to college recruiters — but I aced the SATs, getting the highest scores in the state. I was inundated with college offers including some really HARD sells where they paid all travel and expenses to have me tour their campus and promised me basically anything. It was kinda nice, but I went where the faculty included John Kenneth Galbraith.

When you are as great as he is, you can expect recruiters to push you to go to them.
