This administration has always smelled like low tide. Hopefully, soon the tide of justice will come in and wash away its anti-Democratic sandcastle of evil.

Today I'm grateful for your cartoon and for seashells by the seashore, as they provided some much needed comic relief from my usual fretting about the SCOTUS ruling, gerrymandering, and the midterms.

I'd say this thing with Comey is the height of absurdity, but then that can easily be topped by tomorrow's news cycle!

I promise you, Audrey, that there will be whole new set of idiocy tomorrow. I don't know what it will be, but every day has topped the previous one, so far.

How about this one? Jeff Bezos is considering producing new "The Apprentice" reality TV game shows to run on Amazon Prime....with Donnie Junior as "the star."

I know! Ridiculous has no bottom with these folks!

I wonder if they are going to investigate 45 for posting recommendations for Pence’s well being?

You are doing an awesome job, Clay...thank you for this terrific toon and blog.

Heaven forbid that any weather announcer in MT ever has to mention -47’ temperatures. That likely would also feel like being rid of 47 to buffoons. And what happens when children are taught to subtract 47 from 86?

Thanks, Clay. I needed this infusion of sanity today.

It may be unintended but the horizon cloud also feels to me like part of dt’s mop. So, perhaps partly because i have been watching a series with Godzilla, Kong, and other “Titans” it makes me feel like Blanche is appeasing a would-be godling dt about to rise from the brine.

Todd Blanche makes me sick to my stomach, but then ... there is nobody in the Trump regime who doesn't make me want to puke. This case will likely be tossed in the dung heap like the other one was, but meanwhile our hard-earned taxpayer dollars are being wasted on it! Again. Good 'toon, Clay and I think you're doing great, despite your paralysis and health issues. Keep it up ... we NEED you!

Someday, when this absurd batshittery is finally over, there will come a day when we will wake up and say, "You won't believe the dream I just had..."

With all the whacky crap that the regime has done, I fantasize that we're all in this weird Alternative Earth version of the Matrix where most folks just don't know how to unplug and escape the programming that they're trying to imbed in our psyche. Who is our Morpheus? Bernie Sanders? Who is Neo? Trinity?

Blanche reminds me of Agent Smith. In fact all of the members of the regime are like those Matrix agents that threaten your existence if you don't comply and conform: DOGE, FBI, ICE, IRS, MAGA... If Blanche thinks that indicting Comey will get him to conform, well he's about to experience a new reality. There is rich irony that Comey is experiencing this kind of persecution after he pretty much destroyed Hillary Clinton's candidacy for POTUS in the weeks before the election. Talk about karma.

I'm starting to understand why some people have gone off the grid completely and declared self-sovereignty. I'm still too much of a social animal to go that route. However, if I was on any kind of meds that affects brain function, I would be thinking that I am experiencing side effects every time I watch mainstream news or go on social media. Maybe the windmill turbines, the boat batteries of yachts and magnetized vaccines ARE affecting us. It's probably low level electromagnetic pulses from all the electronics that's making the regime members and sharks do whacky things. Maybe they have some kind of genetic pre-disposition? The HHS & NIH should investigate. Ooops ... can't do that anymore. It's probably why Trump wants to take us back to the days of coal and steam engines. Black lung disease is preferable to brain-wave cancer. (OK, I'm done with the cray-cray jokes). This insanity is inspiring me to write some Octavia E. Butler type science fiction novels in my retirement. Some time travel, some aliens could explain these times. The X-Files didn't find the truth before they cancelled the series. Maybe my science fiction stories will inspire some future researchers to explain all the insanity of this regime. If my offspring give me some grandkids, it'll be my contribution to helping them understand the times their grandparents and parents survived. Either that or I'll have to go off grid and wrap my head in aluminum foil. Sigh.

Eek! Run! He has a seashell!

Oh I needed that laugh! But it startled the dog.

Trump's doing this because he's the one who sends coded messages. Remember "stand back and stand by?". As if we didn't know what that meant! Then he has the brass cojones to say that "86" is a mafia term meaning to kill someone. First, how would he know? Second, does that mean Jim Comey was sending a message to the mafia to kill Trump? REALLY??? That's an even bigger stretch than the arms of Mr. Fantastic around Galactis! He's projecting all over trying to tar Comey with his own actions. Just unbelievable that we have to put up with this demented shit from a president.

Blanche sells sinister seashells to sell his stinking slimy self to the shit stain who is crapping all over our country.

86 Blanche

86 the entire Trumphukian CABAL …

86 Donnie J. Trumphuk hisself!!

...and the hits just keep on coming!

Mark's avatar

Good one. I bet his toes look like that in real life, too. Him and MTG...

I considered getting a vanity license plate with 86-47 but decided that there was probably a run on them at the DMV and I couldn't really afford it on a fixed income.

And then to hear Trump explaining that 86 was gangster slang was laughable to those of us afficionados of Top Chef.

Always something to distract from Epstein or as Jimmy Kimmel say, TrumpEpstein.

Plus, MAGAts would vandalize your car.

Good toon and the blog--chef's kiss, Clay. You just keep keeping on. You are obviously doing something right as your drawings are great.❤️
