Thanks again Clay. You’ve kept me centered and steady for yet another day! I love Ann’s work and echo your congrats. I appreciate seeing my views reinforced from so many different angles, and in such clever ways. It makes me think that my pathway is correct.
Clay, did you see where ICE is busy going into DC restauants and demanding ID's from all the employees? They're not only gonna wipe out all the staff but also the restaurants. The US Gestapo is going in full force
Have you noticed they're mostly doing this stuff in blue areas? They did a run through Memphis recently, but totally ignored the tens of thousands of workers in Tyson's chicken plants just over the county line.
They could easily sweep up at least 40,000 just in a hundred mile radius of Covington, TN, just by asking for ID for everyone entering the big meat packing plants. Gee, I wonder why they're sweeping small business in Germantown and not the big guys?
Actually, I don't wonder at all. It's obviously payola. These guys are so corrupt they can't even break the law without an extra helping of corruption sauce.
In four years, ICE will be so steeped in corruption, the next POTUS will simply have to close the agency and start over. There's nothing else to be done.
Remember that even though he supposedly said the oath twice, the second time he didn't touch the bible (I don't know what kind of bible it was). Maybe in his mind that is his loophole out of upholding the Constitution OR maybe he was afraid that the bible would self-combust and he would be immolated from orange to burnt sienna by his flammable bronzer, hair spray residue and tie from chai-na.
Who knows? MAGA myths are full of garbage like that. Like "you don't have to register your car if you write TRAVELLER on it". Or "You don't have to pay taxes because you can't be required to file because you can't be required to be literate". And the perennial favorite for me, "All courts are invalid because the flags in court have a gold fringe".
That's all stuff you can find on MAGA forums all the time. It's about sophomore high school level "cute".
I'd comment on the great cartoon and blog, but I'm too busy thinking about that great-looking chili dog and fries! OMG, they look delish. I haven't had a good chili dog in years, and it wasn't nearly as good as yours looks.
If I lived on the East Coast, I'd find a way to get one of those! The closest place to me to get a chili dog is Der Wienerschnitzel, which, in a pinch, will work, but I can't imagine it holds a candle to Ben's. It's probably not even fair to compare the two! LOL!
Thanks Clay for keeping us all in the loop. I’m glad Anne won Pulitzer. If I remember correctly, Joel Peet did too. I’ve been interested in political cartooning for many years. When I worked for Planned Parenthood many years ago, the statewide organization put together an editorial cartoon display regarding reproductive freedom. It’s there I saw Joel Pett’s work. I decided we should bring him to the Albany area and do a special event with him. It was very successful. Hats off to the political cartoonists. You’re keeping us saying during this awful time.
“Facebook trouble: Now this is some bullshit. A lot of Facebook pages will use political cartoons to fill content. …
… To file a correction for this, Facebook wants the link to what they took down, except they took it down, and I do not have the link. But I still have a challenge with it, so let’s hope that clears it up.
Like I said, this is some bullshit.”
I assume that Clay was still tired from his D. C. visit and/or still suffering from the effects of the two dogs he ate at Ben’s Chili Bowl, but he neglected to credit “this is some bullshit” to Harry in Resident Alien, as he has done at least three times before :
From “Elon Cuts in the Burg” (March 9, 2025) :
“DOGE is making cuts without transparency or oversight from the three branches. Many of these cuts are being made from the recent Nazi college grads Elon has hired without any oversight, even from Elon.
As Harry would say in Resident Alien, this is some bullshit.”
“Khalil is a green card holder and a legal resident of the United States, and is also married to an American citizen. As Harry would say in Resident Alien, this is some bullshit.”
“In France, Marine Le Pen is ineligible to hold political office after being convicted of embezzlement, but here in America, Donald Trump is talking about serving a third term even after a coup attempt. As Harry in Resident Alien would say, "This is some bullshit.” “
No surprise there in the interview. Trump looks absolutely befuddled and as with it as Biden did in that memorable debate. I don't think he ever read the Constitution because he is lazy and a liar. Why bother when he has the best lawyers to do that for him.
Presidential candidates should be required to take the same test that foreigners have to take for citizenship and in Trump's case a geography test to see if he can spot El Salvador or Libya, his latest destination for migrants.
I'm sorry about the sharing on Facebook issue - I have seen other horror stories where FB has penalized legitimate pages AND taken away their money. In the current toxic environment, I have come to appreciate how important paid legitimate content is. And I have come to realize how may people do not understand what copyright is or, indeed what ownership means/is. @Clay's BF reminds me of the Oatmeal copyright incident....I mention it because the "logic" is mind-blowing -kinda like what @ClayJones describes
I'm paid here and on other sie - anyone who can, please support valid meaningful content.

Excellent toon and blog.

Haven't even heard of a chili dog in many decades. I agree that they sure looked yummy!

Yes, Joel won a Pulitzer many years ago.
I know I misspelled Joel‘s last name above. It’s Joel Pett.

Creative note: I didn’t expect to be able to track down the previous quotes, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy. 🫡👍👏😉
All I needed to do was open my favorite browser and search for “Clay Jones on Substack “this is some bullshit” “. 😉
BTW…
🥳 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! 🥳

That is some bullshit.
I'm hoping someone smarter than me can tell me who the picture is on the ear bandage this time. I'm hoping it's someone like Benedict Arnold.
It appears to be James Madison, a.k.a. the "Father of the Constitution."
No surprise there in the interview. Trump looks absolutely befuddled and as with it as Biden did in that memorable debate. I don't think he ever read the Constitution because he is lazy and a liar. Why bother when he has the best lawyers to do that for him.

I could hardly believe what the 🍊 turd said during an interview by ABC news a week ago. He was showing off his tacky decorating of the Oval office.
When asked about the what the Declaration of Independence means to him he said, "It's a declaration of unity and love and respect and it means a lot
and it's something very important to our country."
So now we are certain that this dingus slept through his U. S. History classes.
All I can say to him is "Sic Semper Tyrannis, baby". Which is also the motto on the flag of Virginia (minus the "baby" part. That is mine.)
All true.

I'm amazed and n
heartened by all the Republicans in Congress who have stopped supporting President Trump over this (sarcasm alert).
