Migrant Game Show

The Trump Regime wants a TV game show where migrants compete against each other for citizenship.

Kirsti Noem, our piece of shit Director of Homeland Security, is considering an insane idea for a reality game show where immigrants compete for citizenship.

Homeland Security Department spokesgoon Tricia McLaughlin described the pitch to The New York Times as a “celebration of being an American.” She said, “We need to revive patriotism and civic duty in this country.”

This “reality” game show is guaranteed to be the worst since the last Trump reality game show, The Apprentice.

If this sounds heartless, keep in mind that it’s being considered by Kristi Noem, who thought she’d score cool points with MAGA world by bragging about murdering a puppy. But, the idea was pitched by the same jackoff that created Duck Dynasty (fun fact: I was mostly raised where that redneck show is based). He previously pitched this hateful idea to the Obama and Biden administrations, but since they’re not stupid racists, they rejected the idea. Along comes Trump, where they’re listening.

McLaughlin said the department receives hundreds of pitches a year for potential television shows, and “Each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval.” This one should have gone straight into a trash can.

An immigrant’s journey to become a United States citizen shouldn’t be mocked and used for our entertainment. And I don’t see anything in the Constitution about becoming an American citizen by winning on Wipeout. And that leads into my idea for a game show.

Do you want a TV game show in which immigrants compete for citizenship? Then let’s make it fair. It should be done like Jeopardy, but with two contestants. They’re asked civics questions, which immigrants have to answer anyway (there’s a test) when applying for citizenship. My game show will be different from what the Trump regime has in mind because in my game show, immigrants aren’t competing against each other. No, it’s better than that.

In my game show, an immigrant is competing against…wait for it….an American-born MAGAt. And they’re asked civics and history questions, shit they should know better than any immigrant. Questions like:

•How many branches are in the federal government?
•Which of those branches controls spending?

•Does the Constitution allow an unelected asshole billionaire bureaucrat to be given access to fire government employees, shut down departments, and cut spending?
•Who makes the laws in the United States?

I would love this game, and the winner gets to stay in America. The loser gets deported. To spice it up, the loser gets deported to the nation of the winner’s choosing.

MAGAts don’t know history or civics. Do you know who does? Immigrants preparing for a US citizenship test, and the tests are easy, like “who was the first president?”. I can think of a lot of MAGAts I’d love to see be contestants on this game.

That is a game show I’d watch.

Creative note: There is one problem with this cartoon. Normally, I wouldn’t point it out, but I want to cut the smartypants people off at the pass. The problem is, there’s already a “P” on the board, so the answer in this round has to be “C.” Twenty readers are going to point that out in GoComics tomorrow, and each one is going to think they’re the first.

I did not catch this, and neither did Hilary or Quannah, who both get to see the cartoons before I publish. Proofreader Laura caught it, which is an irritating habit she has. She suggested that I just remove the “P” from “Trump,” which I had thought of, but realized that the letter to guess couldn’t be “C” because the word couldn’t be “Trumc.”

So I decided that this is another case of cartoonist's license. This kinda pisses me off because this was my chance to fix mistake from nearly two years ago.

I drew a Jeopardy cartoon when I was in Miami in June 2023.

I thought it was pretty clever until someone pointed out that I fucked up the game board. I made the blank spaces green when they should have been white. I would blame it on hitting my head in Chicago, but I didn’t do that until a year later. Let’s blame having COVID in 2020. Yeah, that’s the ticket. I told myself then that I would get it right the next time I drew a Jeopardy cartoon. Ya know, let’s blame Greg Kihn, because his song gets stuck in my head while drawing this, and it totally distracts me.

Music note: I didn’t listen to anything, but Jeopardy was in my head. DAMN YOU, GREG KIHN!!! Update: I just found out that Greg Kihn isn’t with us anymore. I love The Breakup Song.
