Prickly City by Scott Stantis for January 17, 2025

For YOU, maybe…by actual record numbers? Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeah, I have my doubts. But he’s getting on in years, so dementia must be setting in.

The biggest disgrace in American history! Are you still proud of yourselves?

Considering Don Jr’s Greenland free food MAGA fake fans, the prop union shop in Detroit plus the black church, it think L’il Donny may not have enough to buy a staged crowd for the inauguration.

You’re talking about the blanket pardons sleepy joe handed out?

The most Oligarchs in one place ever!

… and here’s the ‘balance’ cartoon.

When Convicted Felon Trump tanks the robust economy Biden is leaving him, I wonder how he’ll try to spin it.

I heard that it’s going to be freezing cold in DC on that day. So if he doesn’t keep it brief, maybe we’ll have another William Henry Harrison presidency.

Time to boot 46 out from office before he can cause any further damage.

It’s amazing, but not surprising how Trump fans believe Fox over their lying eyes…

Biden used his last speech as president to warn us about a new American oligarchy. And you can tell the message hit home because of how many people immediately went to Google to search ‘What is oligarchy?’ And weirdly, Google responded: ‘Don’t worry about it.’ Turns out, you don’t need to Google ‘oligarchy’ to understand what it looks like — just tune in to the inauguration this Monday.” — Jordan Klepper

Surprisingly, Greg Gutfeld doesn’t think an oligarchy is anything to worry about.

Hey, Dementia Joe, only 3 days to pardon The Biden Crime Family.

Concerning the recent Matt Davies………………………WHITE PRIVILEGE ALERT!!!!! A CHUMP IS GITTIN’ AN IMPORTANT JOB!!!!

Only if he rounds up all the DC homeless and buys them a Big Masc fries, and a diet coke. At least Jr. bought the Greenlander homeless a full meal.

biden’s pardoned felons?? including hunter? why would they attend Trump’s inaugural?

Some fun weather news for Inauguration Day. It’s going to be bitter cold around 20 degrees. Normally the swearing in ceremony would be moved indoors as they did in 1985 for Reagan’s second Inauguration. They also canceled the Parade that day. Knowing trump’s ego he doesn’t want to appear weak and have a much smaller gathering indoors so it’ll remain outdoors and the Parade won’t get canceled. I hope he dies from pneumonia like President Harrison did just 32 day in Office in 1841

Beware of Karma, Diaperdan.

Another steaming pile of Scott Stantis in my comics page. Right, Scott, TRUMP pardoned a lot of felons. You’re not just a partisan hack, you’re a stupid partisan hack.

I remember the last one when tRump made that claim and FOX ‘news’ got caught running the wrong photo to make it look as though more people were there than for Obama.

Tiny can’t pardon anyone until after he assumes office.

Again, already from Canada:

Something’s not right with Donald Trump

In only a few days, Donald Trump will become president of the United States.

He is still talking like he is going to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods imported into the U.S. when he knows that it will have an enormous negative economic impact on both Canada and the U.S.

And then he is holding a gun to Canadians’ heads and threatening to impose economic pressure on Canada that will force us to become the 51st state.

I think that Trump is out of his mind. Tariffs will create a trade war that will hurt all of us and if he thinks for one minute that he can force Canada to become part of the U.S., he doesn’t understand Canadians at all.

And . . .

We should be nine states, not just one

Not that I have any ambition to join the United States, but that offer by Donald Trump is such a low bid as to be insulting.

The whole of Canada to be one state — ridiculous! According to Wikipedia, the U.S. has 5 states with populations of less than one million, we have six provinces with more than that, and three others which are similar to the lower-populated U.S. states.

So that should be nine states for sure, each with two representative senators, P.E.I. could perhaps be treated in a similar manner to the District of Columbia and get one senator.

Also the territories should have suitable representation, First Nations need a voice in any settlement, and we’d need a Quebec supreme court judge.

Still interested, Mr. Trump?

So many here, so scared of what may happen, they completely miss what has happened and is happening right now.
