Prickly City by Scott Stantis for February 19, 2025

Too late – All of the Pardons were done on day 1. And really carefully too! :)

All magats believe that tariffs are paid by somebody else.

And that the deficit and the national debt “will be paid off in a very short period of time, I believe”.

When the economy goes belly-up; and all the allies have been alienated; and tens of millions are starving, desolate and homeless; WILL America pardon this moron occupying the oval office?

Mmmm. . . . In ter es ting, fer sure!

BTW, Trump has now stated that only The President and His attorney general can determine whether something is legal or not.

The Stable Genius does not realize that he has just issued a Get Out of Jail Free card to JD Vance (or whatever his name is). If Vance decides to exterminate a Stable Genius, only He can determine whether a crime has been committed and, anyway, a president cannot be prosecuted, even a new one.

And, the new president would be wise to never meet one on one with the Speaker.

love how the orange swine swaggered his ugly stinkin a$$ around Daytona 500 track wasting tax payers money while Tennessee flooded

Democrats shot the tariff, and they also shot the subsidy.

Hey, right-wing populists, M.L. etc, concerning today’s Anderson, if any of you ever got a decent job, you know, like at a 7-11 or something, running the coke machine, and maybe you gained the admiration of a mate, and maybe your mate was of the opposite sex, and maybe your sad seed somehow worked, would you git your poor-performing child a measles shot?:

Kevin necessary on his FB page reposts a great Steve Greenberg piece, www dot facebook dot com kevin necessary

There’s 3 peoples who think Ukraine started the war with Russia, Ted Rall, trumpster fire, and his enablers, consisting of M.L. et al.

What would happen if Scott Stantis made a comic that was amusing and apolitical? The world may never know.

Congratulations to President Trump for his landslide electoral victory! You have a mandate to drain the swamp!

Hmm, ML’s record is skipping

And remember: if you’re an undocumented immigrant, it’s okay for Big Government to destroy your life.

But if you knowingly HIRE an undocumented immigrant, you’re fine, and probably a Trump supporter. Or Trump himself.

So far, with all the tariffs in, tariffs out, shutdowns that have to be re-opened, those fired then unfired, tRump seems to be tripping over himself.

I want to put a tariff on VOIP marketing calls. 10 cents per call and 25 cents per call if answered.

Biden would have Pardoned SATAN if he thought he Could…

Assuming we survive the next four years, it seems Donald Trump has done most everyone in the English-speaking world a huge favour.

It’s now possible to use a single label that encompasses and replaces the myriad of commonly-used judgmental, derogatory labels.

When someone does or suggests something most people think goes against the grain of what society accepts as normal and good, we no longer have to tell them they are stupid, dumb, moronic, irrational, greedy, obsessed, arrogant or breaking wind in public.

We can save time and avoid confusion by telling them they’re being a Trump. Everyone will know exactly what we are talking about.

Well, almost everyone. Conservatives are an exception.

BTW, WTF are they “conserving”?

Slash and burn cut whoops STRIKE AGAIN!!

“The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it is trying to reverse the firing of staffers who worked on the government’s response to bird flu, amidst growing concerns about its spread.

Tens of thousands of workers across the federal government have been told they are losing their jobs, and more layoffs and firings are in the works. The USDA is among multiple health agencies that have faced mass firings.

On Friday, the USDA PUBLICLY TOUTED what it called “the first tranche in a series of bold reforms,” including “an aggressive plan to optimize its workforce by eliminating positions that are no longer necessary,” in line with the efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Within days, however, the agency sought to reverse some of those firings — particularly those related to its handling of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)." [NPR, 2/19/25]

DOGE: Department of Ghastly Egomaniacs

Fire Musk from the space program.I’d rather walk

Is gas under $2/gal yet like Trump promised he would do before the election? This question has nothing to do with Biden and only with the actual words that Trump said when Trump made the promise.

It’s a yes or no question. I have to explain the type of question it is because some people don’t understand the word YET.

A silly question: What is “A tariff in pardons” ? Is Trump importing padrons?From where ? For who ?

A Canadian perspective (from the Times-Colonist):

Stream the G7 meetings so those two (US & Russia) can watch

Canada will be hosting the 51st G7 summit, to be held June 15-17 in Kananaskis, Alberta.

Donald Trump wants Russia to be invited back into the group. In March 2023, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin over alleged war crimes in Ukraine.

All of the G7/G8 countries recognize the ICC except the U.S. and Russia.

Trump is a convicted felon and inadmissible to Canada under our laws. Maybe Vladimir Putin could travel to Mar-a-Lago and the meeting can be streamed for Trump and Putin.
