Snorts For MAGA

Don't take health advice from a guy who used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats

My friend Douglas is a very good writer, and sometimes he'll create a post on Facebook with his writing and share it with my cartoon. I really liked what he wrote today shortly after I published this cartoon on Facebook. I was thinking about today's blog when I saw what he posted, and I thought, “Can I just steal that?” Of course, I can't steal it, but I can repost it and give him full credit. Douglas wrote:

From whom should we get medical advice?
The overwhelming consensus of medical professional organizations, the World Health Organization, and the old CDC and Dept of Health when it was run by actual doctors?
Or a non-doctor medical amateur who …
Admitted to being an intravenous HEROIN addict for fourteen years;
Claimed in a court filing in a divorce case that a worm ate part of his brain;
Admitted to snorting coke off a toilet seat;
Claimed brain damage from Mercury poisoning
Found a dead bear cub, planned to skin it and eat it, but had to catch a plane, so dumped it in Central Park with a bicycle;
Found a dead whale on the beach. Sawed off its head, strapped it to the top of his car, and drove home.
And who, regarding Jeffrey Epstein, RFK Jr said: “So I run into everybody in New York. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew … O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house.”
When asked by Faux “News” POOP-agandist Jesse Watters, “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?’ RFK Jr answered, “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.”

Robert F Kennedy Jr is a drug addict. No one should be shamed or persecuted for overcoming an addiction, but at the same time, maybe they should not be appointed as the Health and Human Services secretary, which is a member of the president's cabinet. And no one should be given the position as part of a deal, which is how RFK Jr acquired the post, by agreeing to endorse Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign.

What was the name of Donald Trump's book again, The Art of the Sleazy Deal? For Donald Trump, the health of Americans is just a pawn he can barter away for politics.

RFK Jr consumed heroin for over 14 years. He has previously disclosed this. What he disclosed on a podcast last week was new.

Kennedy was talking about his addiction when he said, "I'm not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats."

So, OK, he's not scared of a germ, he's not a doctor, he's not a scientist, yet he is the Secretary of Health. He is also a conspiracy theorist when it comes to health, specifically toward vaccines. Americans’ health is being disregarded today by the man who disregarded his own health by snorting cocaine off of toilet seats.

Keep in mind that he was appointed by a man who initially believed COVID-19 was a hoax, then believed it would quickly disappear, then spread his own junk science about it, told his followers to take horse medication and to ingest bleach, ignored his own health professionals’ advice on it, and wound up catching it. It was at that point that Donald Trump became scared of a germ.

Donald Trump fucked up a lot of things during his first term, but probably none as much as the COVID-19 pandemic. Donald Trump is the worst president in our nation’s history and is directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, who did not have to die during the pandemic. Millions of American voters are racist and stupid, and that is why the man who ignored a pandemic is president again.

Not only do American voters have short memories, but so does Donald Trump. He disregarded the importance of health in his administration, and after the devastation of COVID-19, is given a second chance and appointed a nut job like RFK Jr as Health and Human Services secretary.

Ironically, Donald Trump claims he is a germophobe yet he appoints a man as Health Secretary who used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats. If RFK Jr admits that, then I am afraid to ask what else he snorted cocaine off of.

Measles is a disease that we almost eradicated, but is now making a comeback in the United States because of vaccine refusal. We are not even through the second month of the year, and measles cases in this country have already surpassed last year's numbers.

While measles is making a comeback in the United States thanks to Donald Trump and RFK Jr, Europe experienced a 75% decrease in measles cases in 2025. Europe can now look at us as their knuckle-dragging, illiterate, uneducated, and unhygienic cousins who reject science, causing the return of antiquated diseases that the modern world nearly vanquished. What will the United States bring back next, Black Death?

And what is the Trump administration doing about this? Why, they're treating it exactly as they treated COVID before the pandemic in 2019. They're not doing a damn thing.

Sometimes I kinda hate that I missed having my stroke in Europe by seven days.

Women in the Olympics: There is a comment on yesterday's cartoon, saying, “You really need to watch the women athletes at these Olympics. The men do well, but the women do great.” My reaction to that was, "Who says I haven't been watching the women?“ I really haven't been excluding any specific sports from my viewing, I haven't been rooting for any specific nation, not even the USA, and I haven't been watching only men. I have watched a lot of women's sports during these Olympics, most recently hockey, curling, figure skating, and speed skating. It was speed skating that I got into today, and may be somewhat at fault for making today’s cartoon kinda late.

There was a thrilling race in the Short Track Speed Skating Women's 3000m Relay today between the Netherlands, Canada, South Korea, and Italy. Speed skating is a sport where the Netherlands reign and many predicted the women to win gold today. They were in second throughout most of the race with Canada in the front, but halfway through the race, one of the Netherlands’ skaters wiped out. This meant that the favorite wouldn't even medal unless one of the other teams also had a wipeout, and the Dutch could come up from behind. But suddenly, the Italians came up from third, and we're in the lead with only about seven laps to spare. So I'm rooting for the underdog and believing the Italians can hang in there and win the race until suddenly, the Koreans swoop in from last place and take the gold. Apparently, the Koreans are known for preserving their energy throughout the race and then coming up with a burst of speed for the last three laps, which is what they did today. It was thrilling.

Also, if you have not been watching the USA women's hockey team, you have been missing out. Tomorrow, the USA women face off against the Canadians for the gold.

Creative note: I knew this was the cartoon to go with, but I had a couple of other ideas that I had to get out of my system before making a final decision. I gave up on one of them halfway through the proof, but I took a stab with the other.

The two friends I showed this to preferred the measles cartoon, and they were right. By the time they both got back to me, I was already knee-deep in lettering the measles cartoon. I knew it was the one.

Drawn and 30 seconds. When you watch the video, you will see that Donald Trump started it in the middle of the panel, but I couldn’t get all the letters in with his big head in the way. So I swapped him and the woman around, and it worked out.

Honestly, I think the reason I preferred this cartoon was just so I could give all the nonhumans measles, too.

Signed prints and books: I cannot take orders for signed prints or for my books at this time. So please do not send me money or place orders for them until further notice. Because of the stroke, it is an ordeal for me to get to the post office, so we’re gonna hold up until I’m fully capable of doing so. Thank you for your understanding.

Merch: Did you know there’s a Claytoonz store? My cartoons are printed on mugs, clothing, caps, and even a Peezy T-shirt. If you ever want a specific cartoon on some merch, let me know, and I’ll add it.
