Something the right forgets is that dt is going only partly by Project 2025 (which itself is bad) but also by Hitler’s playbook. Hitler and his reactionaries also posed as being a different flavor of conservative. Of course, they were reactionaries, not conservatives, just as dt and his crew are not conservatives. If not familiar with 1930s Germany look up what happened to those conservatives. Once they had helped Hitler attain the level of power he wanted, he no longer needed them and considered them rivals for the affection of his base. They were among the first to be arrested, stripped of their assets, jailed, and some executed. Seriously, anyone who relies on a fan base who thinks that there is protection in assisting someone who is following Hitler’s playbook is just setting himself up to be destroyed. Hitler was the dog which bit the hand that fed him and then kept on chewing.
It sure seems that way as the Repubs act as though anything, and I mean ANYTHING, this regime does is A-OK with them. I find it hard to believe that just about every single one of them is actually that evil. But, of course, followers who want to win popularity contests, oh, I mean elections, will never step up to be leaders. Let's not call them leaders...or conservatives. They are neither.
So, imagine that something only a little bad happens in Italy. (I sure hope not, but that’s why you wear seat-belts, right?)
Just how well will those ICEbergs perform? They haven’t entirely demonstrated a lot of actual competence, have they? Yeah, they’ve tried real hard to be intimidating and menacing. But, what else have they truly accomplished in the way of something positive as law enforcement?
As always, a wonderful toon, and blog, Clay. I love seeing Peezy skiing. It looks like there’s a mountain goat that I can see and I’m not sure if there is a polar bear. I hope it’s not a KKK bear.
Smiles for the toon, but scowls for the rabbit holes you've sent me down today. Checking to see if any of the US team members were originally from Russia (cuz 47 might want to help Putin get his hands on them). Hmm. Found 20 competing as "neutrals"– but they are not on any country's team. Then I tried to look at the GoComics cartoonists' toons you cited but the links didn't work.
PS: USA has four skaters who have ties to Russia. Three are US born. Not getting into retired snowboarder Vic Wild here. Told you I had been in the rabbit holes.
This one made me laugh out loud! Well done, Clay. And, wow! You have certainly come a long way in your recovery - your hard work at it shows. So wonderful to see the progress.
I would love to see Italian officials refuse to let the ICEmen off the plane, and if that means the U.S. doesn't participate, so be it. We're not exactly the cream of the crop and the Olympics will go on quite well without us! Have I mentioned that I despise Felon Trump and all those affiliated with him? I did love seeing Peezy on skis, though ... so cute!

Yet again, we have Republicans counting on Democrats to protect them.

Great rant, Clay. I'm backing you all the way here!
Looks like Peezy can ski pretty well. Maybe he can make the next team
He can be our Winter Olympic mascot.
Better yet. We can have special tee shirts
Skizza Rat!

They gonna wear masks there, too?
Do you think they will let them into Italy masked and heavily armed as they are? They could be mistaken as invaders...

Definitely a mountain goat, I think the other thing at the top of the mountain to the right is a Yeti?? Or maybe I need to get some new glasses.
Why would there be a polar bear in Italy? Ha ha ha good job.
It's a KKodiaK bear.
I thought they were there to drive the Zamboni.
They would run over any dark or light skinned skaters.
Or anyone holding a cellphone.
With all of the secret surveillance going on, I long for the days when I could “see all the popsicles in my way”!
"I can see clearly now my brain is gone. . ."
Good toon and blog, Clay. Keeping on❤️
Perfection.
Not about this cartoon, but compelling nonetheless.

LOL! That's great!

Gocomics is a screwed up mess nowadays.
I'm sorry that the links don't work for you, but I just double-checked them, and they worked fine for me.
Perhaps I'll try again. Don't really like to give certain cartoonists clicks.
Saw them. Marvel's the worst, but all are bad.
The press inRome, Italy, claim ICE will be "bodyguards"
Remember Meloni paid US$1 million for a front row inauguration seat.....

Italy may want to re-think their support of her Brotherhood of Italy party....
I love this cartoon !!
